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.

      Thankyou so much for your reply I decided to skip the senna has I've already had very loose stools last few days I've cut my portions down on the low fiber diet too and drinking lots of liquid has I just thought it would be wise to listen to myself too I've probably already done wat the senna would of done myself naturally by drinking clear apple juice which if not on the diet I would have to avoid anyways has I don't tolerate many fruit juices so I'm sure I've done the right thing I did try to contact the department on my letter but weirdly enough it was ringing but then after a while saying wrong number 🤷 but again I'm positive I've done the right thing I'm going to take today very lightly too with low portions and more liquids so yes thankyou for that advise I am very nervous but I have had time to think and read other peoples experiences and not all are bad there is some good advise and reassuring information from people who do these all the time so I'm trying my best to be positive so I can at least settle my mind knowing im doing this to help my own health has this year has been a rollercoaster for me cutting out gluten and lactose was a good idea but I still get flare ups and other symptoms so it definitely is worth a check like you said it was the calprotein that prompted the doctor to refer me again thankyou for your reply it's means a lot for someone to take the time to listen and respond and give uplifting advise  especially to me just now has I'm a bundle of nerves inside getting closer to tomorrow prep so thankyou for that 🙏

      Hi StevieP I think it is best to take GliadinX Just before, during or just after you eat a food that may have a small amount of gluten.  Taking 2 capsules of GliadinX in the morning will not protect you all day because it will be long gone when you need it. The upper digestive system is where the digestive enzymes break down gluten. The problem with Celiacs is that normal digestion will only break down gluten to the point where the small fragments will still cause a reaction. GliadinX will break down the fragments so that they are too small to start the autoimmune reaction.  The label on my bottle reads'it works in the stomach' and that is ver concentrated so 1 capsule is the recomm Hope this helps/Have a lovely cruise.ended dose for each meal.

      It’s completely understandable to feel confused and anxious—colonoscopy prep can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re already dealing with symptoms like loose stools and elevated inflammation markers (that high calprotectin and CRP definitely warrant further investigation!). Regarding the senna tablets: The warning about avoiding senna with IBD (like Crohn’s or colitis) is typically because it can irritate an already inflamed colon. Since you don’t yet have a confirmed diagnosis—but your brother has colitis—it might be worth calling your gastroenterologist’s office today to clarify if you should skip the senna given your symptoms and family history. Some clinics have an on-call nurse who can advise quickly. For the prep itself: Plenvu is strong, so if your bowels are already loose, the senna might be overkill. Stick to clear liquids tomorrow (broth, apple juice, etc.) and stay near a bathroom! For anxiety, remember the procedure itself is painless (you’ll likely be sedated), and the prep is the hardest part. Bring a phone charger or book to the clinic, and treat yourself afterward to something gentle on your stomach (like mashed potatoes or yogurt). Hang in there—this is a big step toward answers. You’re doing great advocating for yourself!

      Great question! Wheat straw dishes are typically made from the stalks of wheat plants (which are naturally gluten-free) combined with a binding resin. While the straw itself shouldn’t contain gluten, the safety depends on how the product is processed. Some manufacturers may use wheat-based binders or process the straw in facilities that handle gluten, creating cross-contact risks. To be safe, I’d recommend reaching out to the company directly to ask: 1) If their wheat straw material is tested to confirm it’s free of gluten proteins, and 2) Whether the production line avoids cross-contamination with gluten-containing ingredients. Many brands now cater to gluten-free consumers and will provide detailed answers. If you’re uncomfortable with the uncertainty, alternatives like bamboo, ceramic, or glass dishes are inherently gluten-free and worry-free. Always better to double-check—your diligence is totally justified!
