I will be visiting Hartford CT in June for a weekend. So far I've found Carrabba's, Aleia's, and Ion Restaurant (vegetarian) with gluten free menus and I'm hoping knowledgeable waitstaffs. I'm so terrified of being contaminated because I just started this diet a little over a month ago. I also know Aleia's has a gluten free bakery. Any other places to try or look into? Also, are there any good stores to buy gluten-free goodies in case I'm hungry in between. I plan on bringing some snack foods in a cooler and in my bag as well to snack on in between. I'm also bringing my cereal for breakfast and will pick up Lactaid milk. Any info is appreciated. Thanks.

There's a Whole Foods in West Hartford that has a good variety of gluten-free items, so that might be nice to pick up some snacks.

Also, I just discovered this store: Open Original Shared Link

but I haven't been there yet! I'm going to go this weekend, I'll try to remember to post and let you know how it is.

Whole foods is onbviously good, there two in west hartford, and I've been to the above store (it's actually owned by one of my former teachers who is also celiac! it's 10 minutes from me) and it's small but good. They have prepared gluten-free food that I haven't tried yet. Those are both 20 mins or so outside of hartfors, as are carraba's and outback. There's a good sushi restaurant in Bloomfield, also about 20 mins, called Ginza, that has wheat-free soy sauce and is accomodating.

The "Eggs Up Grill" in Portland, CT (across the CT river from Middletown, south of Hartford) is run by a celiac.

Morton's (the steakhouse chain) doesn't advertise it but they do have a gluten-free menu - at least they do at their Stamford CT branch, and there is a branch in Hartford.

Depending on budget, if you can't make it to a restaurant with an explicit gluten-free menu, 'white table cloth' (more $) or small 'healthy' (less $) restaurants are your best bet, since they usually make everything from scratch and are focused on making the customer happy no matter the request.

Happy travels!

I was in West Hartford, CT this past weekend and had the best gluten free meal. The restaurant is called Simmer Grille. You can do a search on the internet for the address...

The executive chef, Brett is an amazing chef and knows all about the gluten free diet. I recommended that he advertise the fact that he can prepare most of his dishes gluten free.

This is my first posting but after the wonderful meal I had there, I had to put my 2 cents in......

      Blood results

      Maybe celiac but maybe NCGS that was misdiagnosed as IBS morphing gradually into celiac. Is NCGS a new category to you? It shares many of the same GI symptoms with celiac disease but does not damage the small bowel lining like celiac.

      Oral thrush question

      Thiamine has antifungal properties.  The body uses thiamine to keep bacteria and yeasts from overgrowth in the digestive system.   Fluconazole use can cause thiamine deficiency.   Supplementing with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine would be beneficial as Benfotiamine promotes intestinal healing.   Thiamine and the other B vitamins tend to be low in Celiac due to malabsorption.  Talk to your doctor about supplementing vitamins and minerals.

      Nutrient deficiencies despite normal MARSH and strict gluten-free diet

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome @Natalia Revelo, your experience is profoundly difficult and, sadly, not entirely unique within the celiac community. It's the frustrating reality of "silent" or ongoing damage that isn't captured by the MARSH score alone, which only measures active villous atrophy. Your normal biopsy suggests your diet is preventing the classic autoimmune attack, but it doesn't mean your gut has fully healed or that other issues aren't at play. The inflammation from your newly discovered milk and egg allergies is a huge clue; this constant allergic response can create a low-grade inflammatory environment that severely hampers nutrient absorption, effectively creating a "leaky gut" scenario independent of celiac damage. This is likely why your iron stores deplete so rapidly—your body is both unable to absorb it efficiently and may be losing it through inflammation. While the functional medicine path is expensive, it's clearly providing answers and relief that traditional gastroenterology, focused solely on the gluten-free diet and biopsy results, is missing. To move forward, continue the gut-healing protocols your functional doctor recommends (perhaps exploring alternative options to glutamine that won't irritate your cystitis), maintain your strict avoidance of all allergens and irritants, and know that true healing is a multi-faceted process. You might seek a second opinion from a different gastroenterologist who is more knowledgeable about non-responsive celiac disease and the complex interplay of food allergies and micronutrient absorption, but your current path, while costly, seems to be leading you toward the steady health you need.

      Blood results

      Have you had a DNA test to look for Celiac disease genes?  If she doesn't have any celiac specific genes, look for another explanation.  If she does have Celiac genes, assume they are turned on and active Celiac disease is progressing.  All first degree relatives (mother, father, siblings, children) should be genetically tested as well.   Sometimes blood tests are ambiguous or false negatives if one has anemia, diabetes or thiamine deficiency.  Certain medications like antihistamines and steroids can suppress the immune system and result in false negatives or ambiguous results on antibody tests.

      That was just the visual report, so need to wait for confirmation or otherwise from the results. They did take a biopsy from the upper end of the duodenum(D1). D2 looked unremarkable on the camera. Just wish we didn’t have to wait so long for the results as she’s naturally a very anxious person. But thanks so much for taking the time to answer me
