Restaurants In Princeton, Nj Area?

I'm going to a conference in Princeton in October - does anyone know of any good restaurants in the area? I'll have a car, and I'll be staying in a hotel on Route 1 a bit north of Princeton. I do know the area a bit - I lived in Plainsboro for two years, but I didn't know about my food intolerances then, and I moved away over a decade ago, so I have no idea what's there now. (As I recall, the restaurant scene in general was pretty bleak then - I hope it's improved!) Thanks much for any suggestions!

There are numerous Indian restaurants in the area that have gluten-free food. Crown of India in the Princeton Meadows Shopping Center is near where you will be staying.

PF Chang's is a few miles south on Route 1 at the Market Fair Mall. (Trendy Chinese restaurant with a gluten-free menu available on request; gluten-free dishes prepared in a dedicated part of the kitchen.)

Blue Point Grill on Nassau Street in Princeton (near Jay's Cycle Shop) is a seafood restaurant that has many menu items prepared without glutenous ingredients.

Tom Yum Goong is a Thai restaurant near the intersection of Nassau Street and Harrison Street with curries that are safe and also Pad Thai. I'm unsure about some of their other entrees prepared with rice; if you go there make sure that you are not ordering anything with soy sauce.

You can get sushi at the Teriyaki Boy in the food court at Forrestal Village, but you'll need to supply your own wheat-free soy sauce.

Thanks very much! I'll only be there for three nights, so that should be plenty to keep me fed. :)

      You're right, doctors usually only test Vitamin D and B12.  Both are really important, but they're not good indicators of deficiencies in the other B vitamins.  Our bodies are able to store Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D in the liver for up to a year or longer.  The other B vitamins can only be stored for much shorter periods of time.  Pyridoxine B 6 can be stored for several months, but the others only a month or two at the longest.  Thiamine stores can be depleted in as little as three days.  There's no correlation between B12 levels and the other B vitamins' levels.  Blood tests can't measure the amount of vitamins stored inside cells where they are used.  There's disagreement as to what optimal vitamin levels are.  The Recommended Daily Allowance is based on the minimum daily amount needed to prevent disease set back in the forties when people ate a totally different diet and gruesome experiments were done on people.  Folate  requirements had to be updated in the nineties after spina bifida increased and synthetic folic acid was mandated to be added to grain products.  Vitamin D requirements have been updated only in the past few years.   Doctors aren't required to take as many hours of nutritional education as in the past.  They're educated in learning institutions funded by pharmaceutical corporations.  Natural substances like vitamins can't be patented, so there's more money to be made prescribing pharmaceuticals than vitamins.   Also, look into the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, developed by Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, a Celiac herself.  Her book The Paleo Approach has been most helpful to me.  You're very welcome.  I'm glad I can help you around some stumbling blocks while on this journey.    Keep me posted on your progress!  Best wishes!

      So interesting that you stated you had sub clinical vitamin deficiencies. When I was first diagnosed with celiac disease (silent), the vitamin levels my doctor did test for were mostly within normal range (lower end) with the exception of vitamin D. I believe he tested D, B12, magnesium, and iron.  I wondered how it was possible that I had celiac disease without being deficient in everything!  I’m wondering now if I have subclinical vitamin deficiencies as well, because even though I remain gluten free, I struggle with insomnia, low energy, body aches, etc.  It’s truly frustrating when you stay true to the gluten-free diet, yet feel fatigued most days. I’ll definitely try the B-complex, and the Benfotiamine again, and will keep you posted. Thanks once again!

      Segments of the protein Casein are the same as segments of the protein strands of gluten, the 33-mer segment.   The cow's body builds that Casein protein.  It doesn't come from wheat.   Casein can trigger the same reaction as being exposed to gluten in some people.   This is not a dairy allergy (IGE mediated response).  It is not lactose intolerance.

      Wheatwacked, what exactly did you intend when you stated that wheat is incorporated into the milk of cows fed wheat? Obviously, the gluten would be broken down by digestion and is too large a molecule anyway to cross the intestinal membrane and get into the bloodstream of the cow. What is it from the wheat that you are saying becomes incorporated into the milk protein?
    • Scott Adams
      Wheat in cow feed would not equal gluten in the milk, @Wheatwacked, please back up extraordinary claims like this with some scientific backing, as I've never heard that cow's milk could contain gluten due to what the cow eats.
