Hello!

I'm new and this is my first post!

I wanted to share with anyone in the SE Conn area that I have two favorite restaurants that are very kind about discussing allergy issues and even altering the items on their menu to accomodate!

1.) MANGETOUT: an organic, locally grown restaurant on State St. in New London. Their menu changes everyday, so be sure to call or check it on the website. www.mangetoutorganic.com

2.) MILAGRO: this is my all-time favorite restaurant. Located in Stonington Burrough. The owner, Mr. Zavala, is very friendly and has a son with allergy issues, so he understands the need and is happy to accomodate. The food is SOOO good! It's no burrito or chimichanga place-- it has REAL Mexican food! Delicious!

Hope it helps if you haven't found these spots already on your own!

I'd love to hear about more!

Thank you so much. My wife has Celiacs and, as you know, finding places to eat can be difficult. We are on the shoreline in CT and have traveled to Norwich to go to "Engine 6". It is a local pizza place that has just begun to serve gluten-free calzones, pizza, and bread sticks. The food is great and they have won awards for their sauce too.

Again, thanks for the heads up.

Thanks for the recommendations, I haven't been to either and they both sound wonderful!

I do love going to Abbott's in Noank (just West/South of Mystic)for lobster - it's a traditional lobster pound, you stand in line to order & snag a (waterfront) picnic table. BYOB for alcohol. Not sure about their coleslaw (once I had a mild reaction the next day, the last time I was there I skipped to coleslaw and no reaction) - may have been a cc event.

While we're on the subject of CT, anyone have any recommendations for central CT? The shore's kind of a far drive from the Hartford area for one meal.

check out Open Original Shared Link.

I think there's more threads here and there on this site, try searching on "Hartford" or "CT" and choose threads in the restaurant forum. Happy eating!

A communitymember mentioned a bakery in Portland that is Celiac-owned. She said this is near Middletown.

My wife and I are going to give Milagro's a try tonight. Looking forward to some authentic Mexican food (they just call it food in Mexico!)

Be sure to try the awesome pizza at Engine 6 on RT32 in Norwich and tell them Darlene and Kevin sent you.

      Intolerante al gluten en el embarazo

      By plumbago · Posted

      Decir la verdad, no, yo no me doy cuenta de unas complicaciones que puedan resultar de una incidente aislado de comer gluten cuando una este embarazada. Pero si, hay complicaciones de comer gluten regularmente en una mujer embarazada que tiene celiac. Bastante. Nuestro consejo sera NO LO HAGA! En mi opinion – y yo no soy una medica – nada le va a pasar despues de una incidente, sobre todo si ella no esta comiendo gluten regularmente.

      Hola gente! Soy nuevo por acá, mi señora está embarazada y es intolerante al gluten, ayer comió sin querer unos fideos qué tenían gluten, lleva 3meses de embarazo, les consulto, ¿sabrían en qué puede afectar qué haya comido de manera aislada gluten a su embarazo? Muchas gracias de antemano, estamos super asustados!!

      Prepping for Testing advice?

      By xxnonamexx · Posted

      I also read this which some recommended as well: NASPGHAN recommends eating roughly 2 servings of gluten, equivalent to 2 slices of wheat-based bread, daily for 6-8 weeks prior to testing.

      Prepping for Testing advice?

      By xxnonamexx · Posted

      My dr. stated to eat gluten for 4 weeks before bloodtest. I feel so much better w/o gluten and was going to wait until after the summer vacation but hesitating since reading the antibodies might go away etc. and if I can get it over with before hand especially before daughters graduation next month and before summer might be nice. Any tips besides eating at least 4 slices of whole wheat to get 10g of gluten in for testing. Im more worried about when it hits to find a bathroom especially b/c it can be after eating a meal or might not hit until after 2 days etc. Should I just go back to eating normal to prepare or does it make sense eat 2 slices whole wheat 2x a day and the rest gluten free to prep for test? I noticed b4 gluten free diet I started 5 weeks ago I would have non gluten-free oatmeal and have to go to bathroom right after eating or 2 hrs later. In afternoon I would eat whole wheat and not need to go immediately to bathroom after eating. What steps did you take for test prep.
