Hi guys. I started dating a new man and he working in the food industry. He's been beyond wonderful in regards to Celiac and gluten-free. Our first date i told him that i really don't eat out much and if I do its either eatery A, eatery B or eatery C.

He said that one of the places he works at has a ton of gluten-free items. I didn't believe him at all, so he brought me the ingredients list and talked to his chef and low and behold the place is MOSTLY gluten-free! They do not advertise it and the weight staff isn't educated on it BUT the chef and "my boy" totally know.

My 3 best friends and I went to eat at the place, we all are a mess with food allergies. One is no dairy, including eggs. Another is no wine, MSG and mushrooms. I'm gluten and the other can eat anything he wants. NONE of us got sick and the food was UNBELIEVABLE!!!! It's all pure and made right there in the place.

I had the chicken under a brick with potatoes and escarole, it was killer. We also had a cheese and meat board and great wine. It's a wine bar with over 100 different bottles. The prices are CHEAP for queens and the place is clean and very cute.

Go check it out and if you eat there, just tell them your gluten-free and they should know. I told them I would be posting this and we are trying to talk the chef into joining GIG or some type of gluten-free group. I'll keep you posted on that. The chef is a doll and very welcoming!

We did take a cab from Astoria and it was $23 to get there in a gypsy cab but it was totally worth it. Here is the link, enjoy and go eat! :) You can take the subway but my besty blew out his knee and can't walk too much.

      Cruise and GliadinX

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I agree with @Mari, and it works best when taken right before eating anything that might be contaminated, but in the case of the review above, my mother took it ~5-10 minutes after finishing her last bite of regular pie.

      Although this is a paid review which I wrote after receiving a free bottle from them, it is a true story. I had planned to take a couple before eating out for a few weeks, then write the review, however, a situation developed that changed the entire course of my review:

      What apps or tech tools help you manage celiac disease?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Olenaideole! There are phone apps that read product bar codes to check for gluten ingredients but they depend on user input maintained data bases so they are generally incomplete. There have also been pocket gluten detection meter gadgets available in the past but I'm not sure if any are still on the market. The main company that manufactured them sold the business to someone else who eventually discontinued the product. Not sure if any knock offs are available yet. And even so, that was an expensive gadget that required the purchase of non reusable cartridges that were themselves expensive.

      Biopsy confirmed no celiac, low gliadin igg but high gliadin iga?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Gliadingoaway! You say you "avoided gluten for awhile". What was the timing of that with regard to when the biopsy and blood draw for the celiac antibody tests were done? If they coincided, that would explain the negative biopsy results and the mixed results in the blood antibody testing for celiac disease. Any testing for celiac disease is invalidated when a person has been on a gluten free diet leading up to the testing. Those having already embarked on the gluten free diet must restart gluten consumption in generous amounts for weeks/months prior to testing if they wish a valid diagnosis. By generous amounts, I mean at least 10g of gluten daily which is the amount found in about 4-6 slices of wheat bread.

      SSRI stopped working after gluten free diet due to Celiac diag

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Redlima! Not sure if this could relate to your issue but it is well-known by the celiac community that gluten has an opiate-like effect that causes some people to experience withdrawal symptoms upon going gluten free. This usually manifests itself within the first few weeks. So, I'm not sure that fits with your time frame. Also, I wonder if the healing of the villous lining of the small bowel since going gluten free and how that improves absorption of vitamins and minerals might have something to do with what you describe. It may have changed the way the SSRI was being metabolized or something. When you ask about the impact of CBT on mental health after going gluten free are you referring to the direct effect of CBT on mood or to coping with the social impact and lifestyle changes that celiac disease and having to eat gluten free inevitably brings?
