Dining In Saratoga Springs, Ny

Oh...happy news. My husband and I just returned from a weekend in Saratoga Springs, NY and as far as gluten-free goes saratoga has it down!

My first dinner was at, ironically, a restaurant called Wheatfields on Broadway! It's an Italian restaurant that makes their own light, yummy gluten free pasta from corn. All their sauces are free of gluten and the chicken can be prepared without flour/breading (the veal dishes are pre-breaded). I had an amazing chicken Dish with peppers and onions in a spicy pink sauce. It was so nice to go somewhere that had gluten free pasta!

Both nights I got gelato for dessert at Eugenio's Cafe (right across the sreet). It was amazing- many of the flavors like the sweet cream and chocolate are gluten free (and very decadent).

I had lunch at the Gideon Putnam resort in the grille. They had fewer options but I got a caesar salad with grilled chicken and it was fine!

For the second dinner we went to Open Original Shared Link

which was excellent Mexican. Many of the dishes were made with corn tortillas and the oes made with wheat were not fried in the fryer so I had the homemade tortilla chips as well. They had pork, chicken and beef dishes that were gluten free. I got chicken enchiladas with chile verde. They were delicious- slightly sweet (and old recipe that included white grape raisins) and spicy. Wish i could go there again tonight!

i lived in the greater Saratoga area until right around the time i was diagnosed. one of my co-workers mentioned Wheatfields and i kind of blew her off thinking, "duh, a place called WHEAT isn't going to have anything gluten-free!" But i checked their website and sure enough...to think i lived so close and i never took advantage of it!

i'm so glad to hear you had a good experience there...i'll have to drag my family the next time i go home to visit!

Good to know. On my way to Vermont I often stop in Saratoga for a bite. I'll look these places up next time.

      Curious if I should quit my job

      By Beverage · Posted

      "Celiac disease can be considered a disability under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) if it substantially limits one or more major life activities, including working. Employers are required to provide reasonable accommodations to qualified individuals with disabilities, which may include modifications to the work environment or adjustments in work schedules to accommodate the dietary needs of employees with celiac disease." So until you find a new job, I would think your current employer can and should and is legally required to accommodate you by not having you stock flour products. There's a lot more other work that needs to be done in a grocery.  Speak with them, be honest, tell them your plans, ask for their cooperation until you can find another job.

      Vitamin D deficiency may play a role in the severity of sciatica, with low levels potentially leading to increased pain sensitivity and inflammation. Adequate vitamin D levels may help reduce inflammation and improve nerve function, potentially easing pain associated with sciatica.  Also work on choosing food with low omega 6.  Omega 6 is inflammatory, omega 3 is healing.  The average American conusumes a diet with omega 6:3 ratio of 14:1.  Wheat flour ratio is 22:1. Iodine deficiency leads, among other things, weakened muscles.  Increasing your iodine intake to 600 mcg a day with Liquid Iodine will improve muscle tone.  Start with 1 drop a day (50 mcg).  The minimum intake RDA is 150 mcg.  The Tolerable safe upper limit is 1000 mcg.  Studies estimate the average daily intake of iodine per person in Japan to be more in the range of 1 to 5 mg/day.  In the US the population intake of Iodine has dropped 50% since 1970 and obesity has increased from 15% to 50%.   Are they connected?  Other common symptoms include fatigue, unexplained weight gain, constipation, dry skin, sensitivity to cold, and memory problems.

      Oh wow thankyou so much  for this information that's is very eye opening , you see I always say talk to the ones who have experienced ,  my analogy was always you can never feel the pain of a broken leg untill you have one, I'm so glad you reached out to me and will definitely look into all this advice ,  the docters don't listen one said to me have you been googling symptoms lol, nope there real I'm real and I'm suffering ! I've been on vitamin supplements on and off threw blood tests for over 15 years, yet they didn't question why it was always like that ? I do believe also that the deficiency needs looking at because I have frequent diarrhea and wat I'm loosing I'm probably not getting back, hence the symptoms your right are being caused and I'm feeling poorly threw it ,so thankyou again for this advice , I can't express in words how much I appreciate it , I have just developed a huge white patch on my neck also , she has given me nizorol shampoo to wash it and antifungal tablets , I've already tried the cream didn't work it's not itchy not red just a large skin depigmentation , I have olive skin so it stands out but that's just occured in the last few months too, and she said it could take two years to come back 🤷

      @nanny marley, Have you been taking any vitamins or mineral supplements besides Vitamin D? What are you eating?  Do you eat processed gluten free foods?   You said your symptoms included fatigue, body hair loss, low vitamin d,  Restless Leg Syndrome, Raynaud's Syndrome, contact dermatitis, rhinitis, body aches, TMJ, heart palpitations, sleep issues, vomiting,  dizziness, frequent bowel movements. There's eight B vitamins and Vitamin C that are water soluble.  When one has diarrhea for extended periods of time, those water soluble essential vitamins are flushed out of the body easily, and there's little time to absorb any more water soluble vitamins or fat soluble vitamins from food moving through that fast.   It's easy to become vitamin deficient with diarrhea.   Deficiency in Vitamin B1, Thiamine, can result in Gastrointestinal BeriBeri which can also cause diarrhea, fatigue, and abdominal pain.  Deficiency in Vitamin B3, Niacin, can cause diarrhea as well as skin rashes, and sleep issues.  Deficiency in Vitamin B12, Cobalamine, can cause diarrhea and Restless Leg Syndrome.  Deficiency in Vitamin C can cause diarrhea and skin rashes. Thiamine deficiency can also cause heart palpitations, sleep issues, and vomiting.  Have you had your thyroid checked?  Hypothyroidism can cause body hair loss, as can iron deficiency.   I've experienced serious nutritional deficiencies which my doctors did not recognize as such and blamed me for making stuff up.  I've experienced these nutritional deficiencies.  I earned a degree in Microbiology after studying nutrition because I wanted to know what vitamins were doing inside the body.  Vitamins are special organic compounds that our bodies cannot make, so we must get them from food or supplements.  Without these vitamins, our bodies cannot function well. Talk to your doctor and nutritionist about supplementing with vitamins and minerals that are lacking on the gluten free diet.  Blood tests for deficiencies in the B vitamins are not accurate.  Taking a B Complex and looking for health improvement is best.   I've got serious vision problems and would really appreciate punctuation.  Thanks P.S.  I take a combination of Thiamine, Cobalamine B12 and Pyridoxine B6 for back pain from crushed vertebrae.  I understand back pain.  These vitamins together relieve pain.
