Hi Everyone,

My mom's 70th birthday is coming up in August. This is going to be a really hard one for her because my dad just passed in February. Orginally we were going to have a big 70th birthday/40th anniversary party for them but we cancelled that. I still want to do something special for her because she could use it. My mom said she wants to go to Freeport for dinner on her birthday, so I want to make that happen for her. Anyone had a successful gluten free dinner there? Any suggestions in general about eating at a seafood place?

Thanks.

Beth

while i haven't been there, i'd bet that the schooner Open Original Shared Link on the nautical mile could do a good gluten-free diner.

legal seafood is only a few miles away in roosevelt field

pf chang is up there near there too

but in freeport, i don't know of any specific gluten free places, nor have i had first hand experiences

good luck

Ooohh - the Schooner. My mom loves that place. I just hope they can accomodate me. I think I'll email them and see what they have to say. Thanks for the suggestion.

I don't necessarily know any particular restaurants in Freeport, but I find seafood places are one of the easiest restaurants to successfully have a gluten free meal without to much fuss. I was in Montauk last week and basically at a lot of lobster and baked potatoes :D

It's always really easy to get whatever your fish preference is, and just explain to them that you are allergic to wheat and gluten (restaurants understand the word allergic better), and if they can make yours in a clean pan with clean utensils, just some salt, pepper, garlic, butter, ect. And a baked potato is always safe. I never used to eat a lot of seafood, but since being diagnosed I eat it all the time.

      TTG IgA and IGA elevated mildy

      By RMJ · Posted

      In testing for celiac disease total IgA is run just to be sure you’re not deficient (in which case the TTG IgA results would not be reliable). Different labs may have slightly different normal ranges, but the units are usually the same and the results can be compared.  In your case, what is meaningful for celiac disease is that you were not deficient in total IgA for either test. Different labs use different units for the TTG IgA test and there are no conversion factors to turn one into the other. In your case, the labs have another difference - one uses a weak positive category and one doesn’t.  The two results really can’t be compared. In each case you’re slightly into the full positive range for that test/lab so in reality your antibodies might not have jumped up at all between these two tests.

      Does this mean those could raise IgA and TTG IgA in celiacs?

      TTG IgA and IGA elevated mildy

      By thejayland10 · Posted

      One lab said normal range for IgA is 45-325 and TTG IgA anything above 15 means positive for Anitbody    For this one my IGA was 415 and TTG IgA 16.3    The other lab 3 months later said IgA range is 75-425 and TTG IgA anything below 20 is negative, 20-30 weak positive, 30+ positive.  For this one my IGA was 456 and TTG IgA 30.2 CU

      Gluten Free Oats

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum @Mushroom73!  About 8% of celiacs cross react to the oat protein avenin. That means 92% do not. A likely higher percentage probably cross react to CMP (Cow's Milk Protein) https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1810502/. Corn, eggs and soy are also common cross reactors. It would be impossible to eliminate all foods that some proportion of the celiac community cross reacts to and still be able to produce meaningful products. I would also add that it is not true that companies catering to the gluten free community put oats in all their products. That is a gross exaggeration. It is true that oats are found in many gluten free products. But I understand that you are frustrated in the sense of many of the gluten-free products that you would like to consume contain oats. There are many in the celiac/gluten sensitive community who feel the same way about dairy and soy which are also common ingredients in gluten-free products.

      Gluten free and oat free bars not sugary?

      By Mushroom73 · Posted

      Hi,  I was diagnosed over 30 years ago at the Univ. of Iowa. I also cannot tolerate oats. I find Nugo Dark bars are very good. But, the MOCHA uses real coffee beans and has caffeine. Kind bars with oats are also very good.  Really hope this helps.
