Just Diagnosed With Ciliacs In Nyc

Hello, my name is Amy and I am 22 years old, I was diagnosed with Ciliacs about a week ago and being that I have about 10 holiday parties coming up in the next few weeks I thought I could use some help from more experienced gluten-free eaters.

I have made an appointment with the nutritionist Dr. Ann Lee from the Columbia Celiac Disease Center and hopefully she will be able to help me with finding foods that I can eat when I go out to dinner. Living in NYC I eat out quite often and I am not willing to give up that luxury. I do enjoy cooking and so far I have not had a problem avoiding gluten at home.

Does anyone have any helpful hints for a newcomer to the gluten-free club?

I would love any information from recipes to local resources.

Thanks :)

Hi Amy,

Welcome th the world of celiacs.....I guess my first thought for a newcomer is DO NOT CHEAT, once you cheat & get away with it , it becomes eaasier to do it over & over again. It sounds like you have a handle on this already & a game plan too. Good for you to face this head-on.I love your postive attitude.....

You are lucky to be NY where there are many choices. Go to the reatarant section & you will find many places to dine in NY.

I do alot of mailorder from NY. My favorites are: Everybody Eats crusty rolls & baguettes (Brooklyn Area). Joans gfgreatbakes from Merrick Ny , bagels & eng muffins. Against the grain rolls for hamburgers & deli type sandwiches from Battleboro , VT. The Shabati Gourmet has rainbow cookies & loads of goodies all good.Rich's has gluten-free brownies, breads, hoagie rolls ......

I'm not sure where you are in NY but Feel-Rite Markets have a good selection of gluten-free stuff & Whole Foods...........

If I can be of any help please e-mail me.

Hi Amy,

Like Mamaw said, you are lucky to be in NY. I also live in NY (live in Westchester, work in NYC) and I always say I can't imagine living anywhere else with this.

Check out this link for a bunch of restaurants in NY with gluten-free menus.

You can do a quick search on here where myself and others have recommended several of them.

Whole Foods has a line called Gluten Free Bakehouse with many specialty gluten free products, many of them are quite good. I do a lot of shopping outside the city (in Westchester, Long Island & CT), but let me know if you ever venture to those areas because there are smaller, privately owned health food stores that carry a lot of incredible products (in my opinion the better ones) than Whole Foods or Trader Joe's. One of my favorite brands for breads, cookies, graham crackers, etc. is The Grainless Baker. I don't know anywhere in the city to get their stuff, but know several places outside the city (and you can always order).

I also met with Anne Lee when I was 1st diagnosed and she is very helpful.

Unfortunately when it comes to parties I generally just eat before or after. I was lucky that this year my work party was at Hill Country (a new BBQ place in Chelsea) and I called before hand to find out if anything was safe and a lot of it was. But most parties are just passed h'ordeurves (sp?), and generally never safe.

Feel free to email me, and I can hopefully give you lots and lots of tips.

Hi Jkmunchkin,

Do you remember what you had a Hill Country? I am actually going there this weekend and would love to know what is safe.

Thanks so much!

You are so lucky to be in NYC, you probably have more choices that anywhere else in the country

I was training heavily for cycling for a few weeks prior to the onset of these symptoms starting. I have had low Ferratin for about 4 years (started at 6) and usually sits around 24 give or take. I was...

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning?

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning? Hello. I've had another similar episode. I find it very difficult to differentiate between the symptoms of a cold or flu and those caused by gluten poisoning. In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive...

      Celiac disease symptoms

      I'm no longer dealing with constipation. I got my liver test last month and it was in normal range. Two years ago I did have a vitamin D deficiency but I'm know taking vitamin D3 pills. Last month I got my vitamin D checked and it was in normal range. I don't believe I've had my choline checked. However, I do drink almond milk eat Greek yogurt on a daily...

      Celiac disease symptoms

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange.

      Celiac Screening

      Hi all,  Looking for some advice. I started having some symptoms this past summer like night sweats and waking at 4 am and felt quite achy in my joints. I was training heavily for cycling for a few weeks prior to the onset of these symptoms starting. I have had low Ferratin for about 4 years (started at 6) and usually sits around 24 give or take. I was doing some research and questioned either or not I might have celiac disease (since I didn’t have any gastric symptoms really). My family doctor ran blood screening for celiac. And my results came back: Tissue Transglutaminase Ab IgA HI 66.6 U/mL Immunoglobulin IgA 1.73 g/ My doctor then diagnosed me with celiac and I have now been gluten free for 3 months. In this time I no longer get night sweats my joint pain is gone and I’m still having trouble sleeping but could very much be from anxiety. I was since referred to an endoscopy clinic to get a colonoscopy and they said I should be getting a biopsy done to confirm celiac. In this case I have to return to eating gluten for 4-6 weeks before the procedure. Just wanted some advice on this. I seem to be getting different answers from my family physician and from the GI doctor for a diagnosis.    Thanks,

In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive, to produce symptoms similar to those of gluten poisoning.

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange. Have you been supplementing Iron? How are your liver enzymes? Low levels of ferritin indicate iron deficiency, while  59% transferrin saturation indicates high iron levels.  Possibly indicating Fatty Liver Disease.  Choline is crucial for liver health, and deficiency is a known trigger for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver.  Some experts say that less than 10% eat the the Food and Nutrition Board established Adequate Intake that are based on the prevention of liver damage. Severe constipation and hemorrhoids may be linked to a bile or choline deficiency.  "Ninety-five percent of phospholipids (PLs) in bile is secreted as phosphatidylcholine or lecithin."  Fatty acid composition of phospholipids in bile in man   Deficiency of these bile salts causes the bile to get thick. Some people with Celiac Disease are misdiagnosed with Gall Bladder bile issues.  Removal of the gallbladder provides only temporary relief. Whether or not celiac disease or NCGS are your issues you need to look at your vitamin D blood level.
