God bless the local Chinese restaurant owner. I came in just before the dinner rush, gave him a crash course in celiac, and he was sooooooo helpful. Not only was he pleasant and very understanding about the severity of the disease and the need for CC precautions, he even offered to make special food for me! He made me fried rice in a clean wok w/o gluteny soy sauce or seasonings :D and I had shrimp with lobster sauce, which is a white sauce thickened with corn starch. needless to say, I was a VERY happy girl. I could tell he got it when he put my food in a separate bag "just to be extra careful" and made sure they didn't even put fortune cookies or those crispy wonton things in with it...now that's careful! His English was excellent, and he was so nice about the whole thing. I was absolutely thrilled to be able to get takeout!

Just wanted to share my experiences!

Very good news!!!!! Sounds like a keeper. ;) If you take your own gluten-free soy sauce, I bet he can prepare almost anything for you.

I am going to be in CT this summer visiting family. Would you mind sharing the name/location of your wonderful Chinese restaurant? I am salivating as I think about it!

I am jealous! That is one thing that I miss the most and can't seem to replicate at home.

Congrats!! Where in CT are you? There are 2 Chinese restaurants in Westchester (NY) that have very extensive gluten-free menus. One of them is in Rye, so depending where in CT you are, you may be close that one.

and I'm not near Westchester, but I have grandparents in Scarsdale so when I go to visit them that could be great...where were they/what were their names?

Yeah Avon is definately not near Westchester (although a really lovely town). Fortunately both of these restaurants are near Scarsdale. The closer one to Scarsdale is in Ardsley. It's called Golden Wok. I actually just came home a little while ago from getting take out from there.

The other one, which is only about 15 minutes (at most) from Scarsdale, is Ray's Cafe in Rye Brook.

Both are incredible. Hope you get to try them next time you are in the area.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Thanks very much for confirming my suspicion @Scott Adams! That helps a lot because I'm really trying to track down and get rid of these sources of cross-contact and so I'm going to just rule out the draft ciders and hope that helps. Also @Rogol72 its nice to hear you haven't had a problem on that side of the pond - draft cider lines being used for cider only certainly sounds like the right way to do it, but I think that must not always be practiced over here!

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.

      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.
