Any other young adults in the New Haven CT area that would be interested in getting together with another recently diagnosed PhD student for support and doing fun things that are 'celiac friendly'?

Maybe. Would be a roadtrip. E-mail me on the board if you'd like to discuss. I'm probably near your age.

I go to school in Fairfield and I'm living up here for the summer. Know any details yet?

Hi! I'm moving to New Haven to start a Ph.D. next month and I would love to meet up to find some celiac friendly restaurants or cook.

Hello. I have just moved in to New Haven to start a PhD as well. I have found the local restaurants sorely lacking, unfortunately. I would love to get together with other local celiacs (particularly other grad students) to cook and discuss. Let me know when you get into town. I would be happy to help to organize something a little more formal as well, if you're interested.

In New Haven, Foster's is pretty accommodating (they will even do gluten-free birthday cake with advance warning), but there are knowledge gaps, last time we were there no one seemed to realize miso often (or perhaps always, depending on your view & the source of info) contains gluten.

Ibiza did a great job with warning when I was part of a group meal there this spring. They seem very aware of food issues, someone else at our table had a shellfish allergy but didn't realize until he sat down that it was an issue with the night's menu, they were able to make him a substitute course on the fly.

Cafe Istanbul- I ate cleanly there at a drop-in meal. The waitperson wasn't familiar with celiac but picked up very quickly & I felt comfortable.

A recent (July 30) post on Open Original Shared Link said Clair's Corner Copia has a gluten-free menu.

Happy eating! I am semi-close by, in Fairfield.

I just moved to New Haven for grad school as well, and was diagnosed about a week before I moved here. Any out there willing to pass along info/meet to chat about living and eating gluten free?

Hi,

I'm originally from New Haven, and I know that there is a new place called Nature's Grocer that has a dedicated gluten-free bakery. Their website is: Open Original Shared Link

Also, "Edge of the Woods" (if they are still around, on State St. I believe) might have a very good selection of gluten-free products.

There is a Trader Joe's in Orange and a Whole Foods further north, but the WF would be about a 45 min. drive. I think it's in West Hartford.

Blessings,

Rachel

      Chances of being coeliac

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Welcome @JoJo0611. That is a valid question.  Unfortunately the short answer is slim to none.  Be proactive, when the diagnosis process is completed, start GFD.  Remember also that the western diet is deficient in many nutrients that governments require fortification.  Read the side of a breakfast cereal box. Anti-tTG antibodies has superseded older serological tests It has a strong sensitivity (99%) and specificity (>90%) for identifying celiac disease. A list of symptoms linked to Celiac is below.  No one seems to be tracking it, but I suspect that those with elevated ttg, but not diagnosed with Celiac Disease, are diagnosed with celiac disease many years later or just die, misdiagnosed.  Wheat has a very significant role in our economy and society.  And it is addictive.  Anti-tTG antibodies can be elevated without gluten intake in cases of other autoimmune diseases, certain infections, and inflammatory conditions like inflammatory bowel disease. Transient increases have been observed during infections such as Epstein-Barr virus.Some autoimmune disorders including hepatitis and biliary cirrhosis, gall bladder disease. Then, at 65 they are told you have Ciliac Disease. Milk protein has been connected to elevated levels.   Except for Ireland and New Zealand where almost all dairy cows are grass fed, commercial diaries feed cows TMR Total Mixed Rations which include hay, silage, grains and concentrate, protein supplements, vitamins and minerals, byproducts and feed additives. Up to 80% of their diet is food that cannot be eaten by humans. Byproducts of cotton seeds, citrus pulp, brewer’s grains (wheat and barley, rye, malt, candy waste, bakery waste. The wheat, barley and rye become molecules in the milk protein and can trigger tTg Iga in persons suseptible to Celiac. I can drink Grass fed milk, it tastes better, like the milk the milkman delivered in the 50's.  If I drink commercial or Organic milk at bedtime I wake with indigestion.

      Dedicated gluten-free Restaurants in East Bay (near San Francisco):

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      I strongly recommend 2 dedicated gluten free (gluten-free) restaurants in my area (East Bay of San Francisco Bay Area) (2025) -- Life is Sweet Bakery and Café in Danville. I've been a few times with friends and tried multiple entrees and salads. All very good and worth having again. I've also tried a number of their bakery goods. All extremely good (not just "good for gluten-free"). https://lifeissweetbakeryandcafe.com/ -- Kitara Kitchen in Albany (they have additional locations). I've been once and had the "Buritto Bowl". Six individual items plus a sauce. Outstanding. Not just "for gluten-free", but outstanding in its own right. Vibrant flavors, great textures. I can't wait to go back. https://www.kitava.com/location/kitava-albany/

      I'm 67 and have been celiac for 17yrs. I had cataract surgery and they put a gluten lens in my eye. Through a lot of research, I found out about MMA acrylic...it contains gluten. It took 6 months for me to find a DR that would remove it and replace it with a gluten-free lens . I have lost some vision in that eye because of it . I also go to a prosthodontist instead of a regular dentist because they are specialized. He has made me a night guard and a few retainers with no issues... where my regular dentist didn't care. I have really bad reactions to gluten and I'm extremely sensitive, even to CC. I have done so much research on gluten-free issues because of these Drs that just don't care. Gluten is in almost everything shampoo, lotion, food, spices, acrylic, medication even communion wafers! All of my Drs know and believe me I remind them often.... welcome to my world!

      If this applies geographically, in the U.K., physicians will often declare a diagnosis of celiac disease based on the TTG-IGA antibody blood test alone if the score is 10x normal or greater, which your score is. There is very little chance the endoscopy/biopsy will contradict the antibody blood test.
