I am going to a 3 day conference in Marlboro Ma. next week. I read on this thread that someone had a good experience at Longhorns in Marlboro. Are there any other good gluten free dining options there? Chinese perhaps?? Thanks!

Are you looking to stay right in Marlborough, MA or are you willing to travel a little to eat? I only ask because I live very near there and am familiar with all the restaurants. Marlborough has very limited options for gluten-free dining and I usually never go to any of the restaurants there. There is a Longhorn's, right near to all the hotels on Rt. 20 but I wasn't impressed with them and have never gone back. More of a family place so it's noisy and the menu is just so-so. Not bad if you need to eat but not my first choice.

Check out: boyntonrestaurant.com They are in Worcester, about 20 minutes from where you will be and are easy to find....close to Rt. 290. On Wednesday nights they have a gluten-free menu for dinner and everyday they serve the best, fresh gluten-free pizza I've had in a long time. Very, very good. They are knowledgeable about celiac disease also so you can relax when ordering. Do a google for directions....it's not difficult to find at all. It's very popular there so at peak times you may have to wait. It's a pub style restaurant....very casual.

There is also an Outback in Westborough.....again, not a far ride and right off the highway.

There is a very good restaurant in Hudson, Ma., about 10 minutes from the hotel district in Marlborough called Chloe's Bistro. Website is: chloebistro.com. There is a waitress there with a Celiac husband and she is great at helping you with the menu. Can't remember her name but she has long, dark hair and is very chatty.....nice lady. I have had excellent luck getting a good, safe meal there and the food is really good....more high end but not a budget buster.

No gluten-free menu but the chef will listen and accommodate.

These are the best of what you can expect for the area, without traveling far. Marlborough is filled with more family type places to go so I haven't had much luck with dining out there. There is another place called Allora which is right near to the hotels but I checked out their menu and there wasn't much I saw that a Celiac could eat. Too much pasta and sauces so I haven't gone there.

Good luck to you and if you have questions, don't be shy!

Thanks. I will be at a conference in the hotel district. I am actually staying in Newton with my boyfriend, but wanted a close by restaurant that I could go to with my coworkers who will be staying in the hotel district in Marlboro. I would love to check out the Woester place, but I don't think they will want to drive that far. Maybe I will check out Chloe's.

      Hi Charlie, You sound like you have been having a rough time of it. Coeliac disease can cause a multitude of skin, mouth and throat problems. Mouth ulcers and enamel defects are well known but other oral conditions are also more common in people with coeliac disease: burning tongue, inflamed and swollen tongue, difficulty swallowing, redness and crusting in the mouth corners, and dry mouth to name but some. The link below is for paediatric dentistry but it applies to adults too.  Have you had follow up for you coeliac disease to check that your anti-tTG2 antibodies levels have come down? Are you certain that you not being exposed to significant amounts of gluten? Are you taking a PPI for your Barrett's oesophagus? Signs of changes to the tongue can be caused by nutritional deficiencies, particularly iron, B12 and B9 (folate) deficiency. I would make sure to take a good quality multivitamin every day and make sure to take it with vitamin C containing food - orange juice, broccoli, cabbage etc.  Sebaceous hyperplasia is common in older men and I can't find a link to coeliac disease.   Russ.   Oral Manifestations in Pediatric Patients with Coeliac Disease – A Review Article

      Hi @Charlie1946 You are very welcome.   I agree wholeheartedly with @knitty kitty:  "I wish doctors would check for nutritional deficiencies and gastrointestinal issues before prescribing antidepressants." I had a type of tingling/sometimes pain in my cheek about 2 years after my diagnosis.  I noticed it after standing in cold wind, affecting  me after the event - for example, the evening after standing outside, I would feel either tingling or stabbing pain in my cheek.   I found using a neck roll seemed to help, reducing caffeine, making sure I was well-hydrated, taking B12 and C vitamins and magnesium.  Then when the lockdowns came and I was using a facemask I realised that this pain was almost entirely eliminated by keeping the wind off my face.  I think looking back I was suffering from a type of nerve pain/damage.  At the time read that coeliacs can suffer from nerve damage caused by nutritional deficiencies and inflammation, and there was hope that as bodywide healing took place, following the adoption of a strict gluten free diet and addressing nutritional deficiencies, recovery was possible.   During this time, I used to spend a lot of time outdoors with my then young children, who would be playing in the park, and I'd be sheltering my face with an upturned coat collar, trying to stay our of the cold wind!  It was during this time a number of people with a condition called Trigeminal Neuralgia came up to me and introduced themselves, which looking back was nothing short of miraculous as I live in a pretty sparsely populated rural community and it is quite a rare condition.   I met a number of non-coeliacs who had suffered with this issue  and all bar one found relief in taking medication like amitriptyline which are type of tricyclic anti-depressant.   They were not depressed, here their doctors had prescribed the drugs as pain killers to address nerve pain, hence I mention here.  Nerve pain caused by shingles is often treated with this type of medication in the UK too, so it is definitely worth bearing in mind if standard pain killers like aspirin aren't working.
