Sylvan Street Grille (salisbury And Danvers, Ma) And Old Salt (hampton, Nh)

Hey all,

I was browsing the Sylvan Street Grille web site the other night and noticed they have an allergy list for all their menu items. Even better, it had fries listed as gluten-free. So I called and spoke with the chef that was working and he confirmed that they do have a dedicated friolator for the fries and that they also are educated on cross contamination/preparing the gluten-free items. He said that the kitchen staff know to change gloves etc. when handling your food and if you tell the waiter they will take every precaution necessary.

So I had to check it out, went Saturday night to the Salisbury, MA location, had some fries and baby back ribs, didn't feel sick at all (always a good sign lol), and the food was excellent. My waitress was a bit confused at first, but she went out back to talk to the cooks and came back and I felt a bit better that she understood.

Also, when I first walked in I asked them for a gluten-free menu etc. and they brought out the same allergen list that they have online, so they don't have a gluten-free menu, but they were knowledgeable enough to get the list.

Anyways, just a heads up to anyone in the area looking for a new dining experience that they've been missing (and another place to get fries) :-)

On a side note, there's another place nearby in Hampton called Old Salt that I got a gift certificate to for XMAS, and although there's not much on the menu for gluten-free, the chef was very informed about Celiacs (his mother has it) and was very nice in coming up with some suggestions for dinner. He said the kitchen staff was all knowledgeable about it as well and knew how to take the necessary precautions.

I went there the next night, got a nice steak and baked potato, and also got really sick about 20 minutes after we left...so although this place sounded on the up and up with Celiacs, something definitley made me really sick for the rest of the night, which sucked cause it was the last night I had some friends home from the holidays visiting my place...oh well.

They have an omlette bar for their Sunday brunch and I am planning on trying that soon because it would seem to be very hard to mess up an omlette since the skillet is only being used for the omlette station, but we will see, I hope my future experiences there are better. But anyways, if you live in the area I would suggest calling Old Salt and seeing if they can accomodate, maybe you'll have a better experience than me.

      GliadinX/Tolerase G

      By ShariW · Posted

      I recently traveled to Spain and Portugal. I was with a tour group, they knew I needed to be gluten-free and made sure the kitchens preparing the group meals were aware. But just in case, I took Gliadin-X with me and took it for every evening meal - and most other meals. The one time I got glutened was from lunch early in the trip - had to be from cross-contamination. I had not taken Gliadin-X before that meal, which made for a pretty miserable day. Learned my lesson... 😞

      Diagnosis confusion

      By Hummer01 · Posted

      Hi trents, thanks for the response.  The 2nd opinion doctor said that if my CRP is still elevated at that time, he would advise me to look at Crohns/UC or another autoimmune issue. The colonoscopy I had this year seemed to rule those 2 out for now so he still believed celiac may explain it. No previous doctors have suggested any explanation for it even after calling to tell me it was a concerning result.  I guess it feels tough knowing I have positive blood testing, permissive genetics, and visible duodenum changes... and somehow it's NCGS instead of celiac. I'm still surprised the biopsies came back negative when the doctor was so sure they would be positive.

      Diagnosis confusion

      By trents · Posted

      "He also said that my CRP should return to a normal level at this time if the culprit was inflammation in the small intestine due to celiac." But with if the elevated CRP levels are caused by some other inflammatory process going on in your body? "She also said that my positive EMA isn't valuable because it has "a high false positive rate." Totally wrong! This is a highly accurate test for celiac disease, that requires specialized expertise to perform and interpret, and it is more expensive than other blood tests. It is generally used as a last test to confirm celiac disease after a positive tTG-IgA test. The sensitivity of a test refers to its ability to correctly identify individuals with the condition. For the EMA-IgA blood test, the sensitivity is generally very high, ranging from 90% to 98%. This means that the test can accurately detect celiac disease in a significant percentage of people who have the condition. The specificity of a test refers to its ability to correctly identify individuals without the condition. For the EMA-IgA blood test, the specificity is also high, typically around 95% to 100%. This indicates that the test can effectively rule out celiac disease in individuals who do not have the condition. Taken from the following article: Looking at the whole picture, I am wondering if you are transitioning from NCGS to celiac disease. Some experts in the gluten disorder field believe NCGS can be a precursor to celiac disease.

      Diagnosis confusion

      Hi all, just wanted to post an update.  I have been gluten free for about 1.5 months now and seeing improvement already in the bathroom.  Recently I had a visit with another GI doctor for a 2nd opinion. He said that while my blood tests and scope are not a "slam dunk" for celiac, he believes it's more likely than not that I have it. His advice was to stay with a celiac-level gluten free diet (no CC) for 6-12 months then retest to make sure TTG-IGA is still negative. He also said that my CRP should return to a normal level at this time if the culprit was inflammation in the small intestine due to celiac.  Today I had a follow up with the original GI that performed the scope. She is confident it is NCGS and says I can still have gluten sometimes. When I asked about the visible duodenum damage, she said it is just "irritation" from gluten because the biopsies were negative. She also said that my positive EMA isn't valuable because it has "a high false positive rate."  I guess I'm having trouble reconciling the totally different advice from these 2 GI's. I want to believe the new doctor more at this point because what he said just makes more sense to me, and he gave an actionable timeline for possible next steps. Feeling lost and disappointed at this point and wanted to write it down here in case anyone has input. Thank you.
