DD3 has celiac, we're staying with my family at Harrah's (Atlantic City, NJ) for two nights next week, and we'll be spending most of our time at the beach and boardwalk in Ocean City, NJ. I spoke with one of the chefs at Harrah's, they seem to be very knowledgeable and accomodating, so I plan to eat there for several meals. Just wondering if anyone has had any expences at Harrah's or in Ocean City? I figure I'll just need to take food in coolers for Ocean City...thanks!

We had a good experience at Harrah's in their Reflections Cafe. I called a few days ahead of time and spoke with the chef on duty (Chef James), who ordered a few gluten free specialty items for my DD (pasta, waffles). Call several days to a week ahead so they have enough time to order what you'd like. Chef James said to only order your meal with the chef, not with the server....good thing because the one waitress tried to tell me how great their mini (gluten) pancakes were for kids. Anyway, I asked for the chef each time we sat down, ordered with the chef (and asked questions to make sure I felt comfortable)...the chef then prepared DD's food and served it to my DD himself, which made me feel more comfortable about the risk of cc. None of their desserts are gluten free, but there is a food court next door with Ben & Jerry's ice cream (vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry, and maybe more, are gluten-free).

As for Ocean City's boardwalk, not really an meal options. DD did taste some Kohr Brother's frozen custard...their website says their vanilla is gluten-free, but recommends it in a cup without toppings due to the risk of cc.

We've been going to Ocean City for a lot of years. Try the Island Grill. I think it's on 1st and Atlantic, a little north of the boardwalk. It's a small, privately run restaurant. The staff is really helpful and I've never had a problem getting a good gluten free meal there. Another plus - they take reservations. There really is nothing safe on the boardwalk, except for Kohr. Bros. frozen custard.

Bally's eatery called six( spelled some odd way I do not remember) has portabella mushroom steaks that are gluten-free and out of this world. They serve them with rice but they are pretty flexible if you tell them that you have food allergies.

but if you are still in the angry stage you may have problems watching others with their bread baskets.

One more mile.

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!
