Hi everyone,

Does anyone have any good experiences/reccomendations for eating gluten-free at Foxwoods Casino in CT. I am going next month, and it's the first time since I have been diagnosed that I have gone. It is hard to get in touch with the individual restaurants there for some reason, but so far I have talked to someone at Craftsteak and they are going to be able to accomodate me which is great, and I was able to score a refridgerator for free for my actual hotel room for deli meats/milk (cereal) etc. but was curious if anyone has any other reccomendations for places to eat at there, specifically for quick bites/lunch or breakfast.

I am waiting to hear back from Veranda Caf

I have had great experiences at Cedar's Steakhouse. They definitely know what they're doing and the food is excellent! I'm going next month too. Good luck!

Thanks Mtn for the info!!

I'm psyched to go back to Foxwoods, it has been way too long. Three hours away seems alot closer than it is when you consider staying over and all that if you want to enjoy yourself with some drinks and stay late, so we never get there. The MGM @ Foxwoods is doing $63 week day specials right now which is amazing considering the usual rooms there are $200-$300 at least.

But anyways, I am excited to say that the executive chef at Foxwoods replied to my email today and said that they could make me a gluten free omelet at the Veranda Cafe and would make sure to have a clean pan that has not been touched by gluten to make it for me for the morning I am there. I have emailed him back and asked for any other menu items at Veranda and/or other restaurants in general at Foxwoods that he could recommend for when I go for quick bites for breakfast/lunch.

I also am even more pleased to say that my wife called Craftsteak back to make the actual reservations and they noted down that I have Celiacs and when she called back about a cake for someone who we are celebrating their birthday down there they immediately, without my wife having to say anything, noted that they had me down as having Celiacs on the reservations etc. and were going to look into if I would be able to have the ice cream they serve with the cake, so they are on top of things there. I guess the ice cream is made by the chef there, so it doesn't sound promising considering cross contamination etc., but it was just very nice to see them being proactive. I'm not a big desert person anyways, so no biggie, like I said it was more just nice to see them being attentive.

      The Happy Tart review

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      The Happy Tart review

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling...

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The...

      The Happy Tart review

      Absolutely my point with Kerrigan, the owner. She stood to secure many years of faithful patronage by simply inviting us in for a pastry or lunch. Or by simply producing another $50 e-card based on trust. We would have been highly satisfied. We are limited to a few restaurants in the area, and that would have been one. It was very disappointing, esp to my...

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
