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.

      Help Interpreting My Lab Results? (updated)

      By trents · Posted

      Cutting out major sources of gluten in one's diet is pretty easy. It's the hidden sources where it shows up in products you would never expect to find wheat in (like soy sauce and Campbell's tomato soup, most canned soups, many pork n' bean products), medications, supplements, oral hygiene products, etc. that are the things that trip you up. And then there is eating out in restaurants where you order something that should be gluten free but it's cooked along with things that have wheat. Eating out is the biggest threat to eating gluten free. Achieving a truly gluten free diet involves a real learning curve. It concerns me that you seem to want to ease into this gradually. That just sounds too casual to me and screams of not taking this seriously. The longer you put off achieving a truly gluten-free life style, the longer your body will continue to be harmed. In your first post in your thread you seemed concerned about harm that already might have been done. Now you seem to be singing a different tune. This may be helpful to you:

      almost a year in recovery - so many questions about to give up

      By kopiq · Posted

      thank you so much. this makes so much sense. I just started taking vitamin b complex today (https://www.amazon.ca/Absorption-Methylated-Methylcobalamin-Flush-Free-Igennus/dp/B01787EPEE?rdc=1) and will continue with it to see how I feel. I also have 1000mg vit d pills but i do not absorb fats and when i first tired them i got a severe migraine for three days. Once i no longer taste fats or foods linger in mouth and throat I will start taking the vitamin d pills.   thanks again, really appreciate the info, I have a drs appointment in a few weeks and will look into a dietician.

      Burning sensation when I wake up

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hi, @Zuma888, Hashimoto's commonly occurs with Celiac Disease.  Those HLA genes code for other autoimmune diseases along with Celiac.  Hashimoto's and Celiac overlap.  People with Hashimoto's produce anti gluten antibodies, so a gluten free diet is definitely a must.  It may be safe to assume you've got Celiac Disease as well.   People with Hashimoto's often have deficiencies in Vitamin C and Thiamine.  Vitamin deficiencies are common in Celiac Disease.  A deficiency in Thiamine can manifest as Gastrointestinal Beriberi with digestive upsets and changes in bowel habits.   Your burning sensation and extreme fatigue for days after working out may be due to a lack of Thiamine and B vitamins.  If you don't have sufficient Thiamine, lactic acid can build up in muscles causing that burning sensation.  Anybody remember Jane Fonda's workouts?  Her catch phrase was "Feel the burn" meaning work out so hard, lactic acid builds up causing the burning sensation.  Thiamine and the B vitamins are needed to clear that lactic acid and repair muscle damage. Supplementing with a B Complex and Benfotiamine, a form of thiamine shown to promote intestinal healing, and magnesium would be beneficial to help you feel better.  Blood tests for vitamin deficiencies are inaccurate.  Take Thiamine and B vitamins, then look for health improvements.  If not needed or absorbed, excess B vitamins are easily excreted in urine.

      @Rejoicephd, So glad you checked your multivitamin! I like Life Extension brand.  Their BioActive Complete B Complex has active forms of the B vitamins.  Note that one serving is two capsules, so you can take one capsule at each of two meals, boosting opportunity for absorption.   Life Extension also makes Benfotiamine (100 mg).  Take one at each of two meals in addition to the B Complex.  Don't take thiamine and B vitamins close to bedtime, you may be too energized to sleep.   I like Life Extension's Neuro Mag, a form of magnesium that can get into the brain easily, which helps immensely with improving headaches and muscle tension in the neck.   I'm so glad you're enjoying the forum!
