We just got back from the Gluten-Free Summit in Providence, and I wanted to share the restaurants we dined at while in Rhode Island and Massachusetts. The Summit was phenomenal, and we enjoyed all of the chefs cooking and baking for us!

The Grille on Main - 50 Main Street, East Greenwich, RI - undeniably the most incredible restaurant we have dined at since being diagnosed! We would eat at this restaurant every night for a week if we didn't live in California!. Chef Russell and the Eric the manager treated us like royalty! We had the absolute best pizza we have ever eaten (including gluten pizza), buffalo wings, sweet potato fries, shrimp & chicken stir fry, scallops with fried goat cheese and apple chutney, a huge peanut butter cookie sandwich with vanilla ice cream in the middle and creme brulee. Our party left very full and satisfied after this delicious meal!

Smokey Bones - 31B Universal Blvd., Warwick, RI - great Gluten-free BBQ menu! We had BBQ ribs and loaded mashed potatoes!

Pei Wei - 4 Chapel View Blvd., Cranston, RI - sweet and sour chicken with rice! Yum! There are no Pei Wei's yet in Northern California yet.

Rancho Chico - 52 Washington Street, Plainville, MA - the most delicious Mexican food we have eaten since being diagnosed. We had nachos, fajitas and enchiladas. Even the tortilla chips were Gluten-free!

Burton's Grill - 1363 Boylston Street, Boston, MA - salmon with baked potato and broccoli, roasted chicken on a carrot and green bean risotto and warm chocolate torte.

Boynton Pizza - 117 Highland Street, Worcester, MA - their pizza was absolutely delicious because their crust was crisp on the bottom, very cheesy and a little bit of grease that we miss so much on our pizzas. We actually drove down from Boston the next day to enjoy their pizza again for lunch! They also had a Gluten-free chocolate mousse cake "to die for!"

Four Seasons Hotel (The Bristol) - 200 Boylston Street, Boston, MA - Chef Angel at The Bristol made us Gluten-free french toast, blueberry muffins and Gluten-free almond currant scones! Just give the chefs some notice and they will make you anything - even Gluten-free pancakes!

The only restaurant we did not get to was Alice's Diner at 2663 S Main Street, Fall River, MA. We were so full from a great dinner the night before, we just could not eat breakfast that morning! Alice's has a Gluten-free menu for breakfast and lunch.

Enjoy!

Although I did not attend the gluten-free Summit, I have been to many of the restaurants you have mentioned here as I live in Massachusetts and I dine out with a dining group from R.I. You are correct, these places are excellent and well worth a visit. It's a really good place to live, as far as being gluten-free! :D

I took my DD to the Boynton Restaurant today for pizza and found out that they put Wheat Starch in it. There is a disclaimer at the bottom of the gluten-free menu stating that they use small amounts of wheat starch in the pizza, and yet they are certifying it as gluten free. The waitress even told us about it before taking our order to be sure we saw it. How can this be? Don't celiacs have to avoid wheat starch? Needless to say, we left the restaurant and ate elsewhere.

I would like to add to the great list for eating gluten-free in RI.

Providence: Kabob and Curry Restaurant, Waterplace Restaurant (a Pinelli Mara restaurant... all their restaurants have gluten-free menus, even though they are not on line), Pizzaria Unos, Red Stripe in Wayland Square (has gluten-free french fries and Redbridge Beer, all their food is fab and even a manager is gluten-free herself), Apsara Thai Food on Hope Street.

Pawtucket: Rasoi Indian Restaurant (same owner as Kabob and Curry, but much better atmosphere). Great menu with all items marked as to gluten free, vegan, spicy, etc.

Newport: Tucker's Bistro.... loved this place as a really nice night out. gluten-free bread on the table, every item on the regular menu is available gluten-free (except a few desserts). We ate four courses and loved them all.

Narragansett: Blue Wave Pizza Call ahead b/c gluten-free crust takes one hour. Owner makes each one to order from scratch. yummy!!!

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better. Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor. PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1. There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine. In Thiamine deficiency, the body...

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
