Hi

My birthday is next week and I'm trying to find a place to eat out which i dont normally do b/c im scared of getting sick. teh only place we have been is boynton and elephant walk. has anyone eaten at rialto in cambridge or maggaianos? Maggianos told me they dont have a menu be will serve gluten-free pasta? has anyone had an experience there? I also called fireplace in brookline and they said they would email me a copy of thier gluten-free menu. i'm also a vegetarian so its hard for me to find something to eat. it woudl be great to hear if anyone has eaten at fireplace, rialto or maggianos and what they thought!

Hi!

I ate at Mangiano's for a company lunch. Prior to arriving I found out that the vendor who was taking us out there, had called ahead and ordered family size portions of everything-and I couldnt have one dish he had selected. I thought I was to go hungry, but once they told the waiter and the manager came right out and spoke to me about options. They had gluten free pasta available, and gave me a list of sauces that I could and could not have. They brought me out my own salad with oil and vinegar, since they claimed all the dressings had gluten in them. For my meal i got rice pasta with a tomato primavera--loads of veggies. Then without me even have to order it, they brought out a creme brulee just for me for dessert. It was huge! Portions were great, I ate my pasta for two meals after. Overall a very happy experience there. I have heard its good to call ahead, just to make sure they have the gluten-free pasta on hand though.

For another alternative---the owners of the Beacon Street Tavern and Washington Square Tavern are very celiac friendly! They have a daughter or son who was diagnosed. While they don't have a gluten free menu, they are very aware about the disease and cross contamination etc. They also stock their bars with Redbridge-the gluten free beer from Anheiser Busch.

Have fun and happy birthday!

Legal Seafoods is great about all food alleriges/intolerances. I ate at the Warwick, RI location a couple of weeks ago and it was awesome.

I had the most awful experience at the Legal Seafoods in the Theater District. They put regular ritz crackers on my lobster bake, and apologized, but wouldn't give me my money back because they said it would constitute a refund for "medical reasons" and I would have to sign a waiver first!!!

But, I had a great meal at the PF Changs in the Theater District, at the Maggiano's down there (like you said, no gluten-free menu, but a great staff, and chef, that explained what he could make for me, with gluten-free pasta), and at the elephant walk....but I know you said you are sick of them. Happy Birthday!

Happy early birthday!

I had a TERRIBLE time at Maggiano's -- I think it might depend on when you go. I've been to the one in Philly, and it's always been terrific -- the chef comes out and everything -- but I went on a Saturday night a few weeks ago, and the waiter refused to give me anything except for gluten-free pasta and tomato sauce. He even threw a big fuss if I asked if I could have chicken, or veggies in it! Then when the pasta DID come, I suspect it was cooked in regular pasta water, because I got so sick afterward. So I think that Maggiano's isn't so great if you're going on a busy night. Maybe it's ok at other times? I know I won't be back to that one, myself.

I love Fireplace, but I am definitely a meat eater, so I don't know what their vegetarian gluten-free options are like. If you told them enough in advance, though, I suspect that there's a chance that they could whip something up for you. If not, what about some place like wagamama's?

I would suggest making reservations at Rialto because I had the BEST EVER gluten-free meal there and you will not get sick. It's a high end place, with educated people working there and they know gluten inside out. The gluten-free menu is larger than most places and the chef, Jody Adams, is Julia Child caliber and truly gets it with regards to Celiac. It's your birthday and you are worth it!

One note.....the portion sizes are small and it's because Jody Adams designs the menu around courses. They offer a 4 course meal at $60.00 and by the time you finish all 4 courses, you should be pleasantly full. It really is worth the money, if you are into high end places that understand the gluten issue.

Legal Seafoods is Great

But on the cheaper side of things...Pizzeria Uno had a gluten free menu. (Sure it's not a high class restaurant but...maybe some other folks might like the suggestion.

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      There is much helpful 'truth' posted on this forum. Truths about Celiac Disease are based on scientific research and people's experience. Celiac disease is inherited. There are 2 main Celiac 'genes' but they are variations of one gene called HLa - DQ What is inherited when a person inherits one or both of the DQ2 or the DQ8 is a predisposition to develop celiac disease after exposure to a environmental trigger. These 2 versions of the DQ gene are useful in diagnosing  celiac disease but there are about 25 other genes that are known to influence celiac disease so this food intolerance is a multigenic autoimmune disease. So with so many genes involved and each person inheriting a different array of these other genes one person's symptoms may be different than another's symptoms.  so many of these other genes.  I don't think that much research on these other genes as yet. So first I wrote something that seem to tie together celiac disease and migraines.  Then you posted that you had migraines and since you went gluten free they only come back when you are glutened. Then Scott showed an article that reported no connection between migraines and celiac disease, Then Trents wrote that it was possible that celiacs had more migraines  and some believed there was a causal effect. You are each telling the truth as you know it or experienced it.

      Aldi Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas

      By tiffanygosci · Posted

      Another annoying thing about trying to figure this Celiac life out is reading all of the labels and considering every choice. I shop at Aldi every week and have been for years. I was just officially diagnosed Celiac a couple weeks ago this October after my endoscopy. I've been encouraged by my local Aldi in that they have a lot of gluten free products and clearly labeled foods. I usually buy Milagro corn tortillas because they are cheap and are certified. However, I bought a package of Aldi's Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas without looking too closely (I was assuming they were fine... assuming never gets us anywhere good lol) it doesn't list any wheat products and doesn't say it was processed in a facility with wheat. It has a label that it's lactose free (hello, what?? When has dairy ever been in a tortilla?) Just, ugh. If they can add that label then why can't they just say something is gluten free or not? I did eat some of the tortillas and didn't notice any symptoms but I'm just not sure if it's safe. So I'll probably have to let my family eat them and stick with Milagro. There is way too much uncertainty with this but I guess you just have to stick with the clearly labeled products? I am still learning!

      Thank you all for sharing your experiences! And I am very thankful for that Thanksgiving article, Scott! I will look into it more as I plan my little dinner to bring with on the Holiday I'm also glad a lot of research has been done for Celiac. There's still a lot to learn and discover. And everyone has different symptoms. For me, I get a bad headache right away after eating gluten. Reoccurring migraines and visual disturbances were actually what got my PCP to order a Celiac Panel. I'm glad he did! I feel like when the inflammation hits my body it targets my head, gut, and lower back. I'm still figuring things out but that's what I've noticed after eating gluten! I have been eating gluten-free for almost two months now and haven't had such severe symptoms. I ate a couple accidents along the way but I'm doing a lot better

      @Mari, did you read that second article that Scott linked? It is the most recently date one. "Researchers comparing rates of headaches, including migraines, among celiac patients and a healthy control group showed that celiac subjects experienced higher rates of headaches than control subjects, with the greatest rates of migraines found in celiac women.  Additionally, celiacs had higher rates of migraine than control subjects, especially in women. In fact, four out of five women with celiac disease suffered from migraines, and without aura nearly three-quarters of the time."

      As far as I know and I have made severalonline searches, celiac disease disease has not been recognized as a cause of migraines or any eye problems. What I wrote must have been confusing.
