Hello fellow Celiacs,

If you live in NY and haven't tried Bistango on 3rd and 29th, you dont know what you're missing! I had the good fortune of finding this Italian restaurant that makes anything on the menu, gluten-free!! I haven't tasted such delicious Italian food like this since I had to go gluten-free 10 years ago. I finally found this place after living in NYC for 4 years (and LI/Queens my whole life). Even my husband who doesnt have celiac disease, loves the food (the regular food and the gluten-free food as well). I found out about this place through a great website called Celiac chicks (which Ive known about for years......probably saw this place listed on there but why I never went there sooner, I have no idea!) Anyway, this helpful website gives lots of gluten-free/celiac disease info. Plus, its a family owned business and the owner is such a nice guy (Anthony), which makes it so much easier and relaxing to eat there. I didnt feel like I had to obssess over whether the food was really gluten-free or that there'd be no CC, like I usually worry at every place I eat at.

So, I hope you try this place and enjoy it as much as I did. I'm a loyal fan. Oh, and by the way, the gluten-free desserts are out of this world!!!! They blew me away!!!!

Happy Eating! :D

If anyone can recommend a gluten-free/celiac disease friendly restaurant in NYC, please do share! (I also found Lili and Loo on Lex. and 62nd which has a gluten-free Chinese menu, also to die for/out of this world delish!!!

Celiac Chicks do have a very helpful website if you're NYC area!

Also check out Open Original Shared Link by a gluten-free (and allergic to nuts and fish, plus I think is non-dairy and if possible kosher) diner. She has a whole list of "safe" restaurants down the right-hand side, some with gluten-free menus and some who don't have a special menu but a very good at dealing with food restrictions.

Will definitely have to try Bistango soon...after I get to Gus's (which we loved in its former incarnation and before I was gluten-free)

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
