Virtually any high-end restaurant can accommodate you easily. I really like Commander's Palace (Garden District) and Bella Luna (French Quarter). I know some who have gone to Delmonico (owned by Emeril). The Acme Oyster House supposedly cooks its seafood in a corn batter only. Jambalaya should be naturally gluten-free. Some gumbos are thickened with file and no flour but obviously you'd have to ask.

And then there's seafood. Yum.

BTW, if it's spiced with Zatarain's, it's gluten-free.

Celiacfreeman, I'm going in January also! I'll be there for almost 3 weeks working . I've made arrangements with my hotel to prepare gluten-free meals. They've asked me for a menu for 5 days and will alternate it for me. They are even buying pots and pans for my food to be sure to avoid cross contamination. Some celiac friendly restaurants include the one in Loews Hotel, W hotel, Acme Oyster Bar, K-Pauls and Maximos. I imagine that Gills will be fine too. As Richard has stated, almost any high end restaurant will serve you a gluten free meal that is safe. For breakfasts, remember hard boiled eggs and bring along rice cakes and peanut butter. I never travel without them!

Have fun! ;)

I can't imagine eating a rice cake, guess that's why I have gained 27 lb in

10 month and am now weigh 142. I'm short, so I need to put the breaks on.

Eggs are a great suggestion thanks.

I will be there on the 28th of Jan. Which hotel, so maybe I can get a meal there

as well. I'm staying at the Daulphene, but it does not have a restuarant. I just hope I can get some plain seafood in New Orleans and not worried about wheat in the spices they use. I will carry a gaint purse with my cocktail sauce in it, the Nestles brand of cocktail sauce is supposedly gluten-free.

McCormick's cocktail sauce is also gluten-free.

A lot of places do use Zatarains, and, as I said, it's gluten-free.

      Hello, I was very stick,  with flu like symptoms, but my virus panel came back negative and we couldn’t figure out what’s going on. The doctor then added a celiac panel.  Has anyone ever had such a dramatic change?  What are the odds this is true celiac I am going to have an endoscopy, but it’s expensive and I just feel like why can’t the labs be enough?

      Eating out in general is full of risks, but this article may help:

      This kind of question is always difficult to give a definitive answer to because of so many variables. One such variable is the sensitivity of the individual celiac to small amounts of gluten cross contamination. An amount that causes a reaction in one celiac many not in another, or at least not be discernable which, of course, does not exactly equate to being "safe".

      I don't live in the US, but based on this thread, I wouldn't risk it:   https://www.reddit.com/r/glutenfree/comments/1n2ehw8/cracker_barrel/   This app is helpful: https://www.findmeglutenfree.com/

      I see that Cracker Barrel restaurants have a gluten free menu (not all locations, but one confirmed that they do). I was wondering if it is safe for my 5 year old son with celiac disease?
