Keene, NH:

Fritz's Fries: A little college town eatery on main street, offering AMAZING french fries. They just recently got gluten free bread and will make their sandwiches/panini on it. I just had an Italian Stallion, which is italian meat and cheese and it was delicious. approx. $6.50 for a sandwich.

Across the street is a salad joint, I dont know the name. They bake gluten free foccacia and will make salads for you. Focaccia was delicious, comes in two flavors.

Portsmouth, NH

There are MANY chains here, but Popovers on the Square has gluten free sandwiches and deserts. DELICIOUS mousse, though pricy, and boutique grill sandwiches. Very yummy. Located right downtown in the tourist/shopping area.

I posted a couple weeks ago about Popovers on the Square in here as well, I highly recommend it. The gluten-free bread they use for their sandwiches is really good, I keep meaning to go to the Portsmouth Health Food Store to check it out, that is apparently where they get it. It's called Millets Special or something but I don't know the actual brand name, I think it's from a local bakery. Anyways, just thought I'd share.

Fritz's Fries is great, though the type of gluten-free bread they offer changes. They have been getting a delicious baguette from a company in Brattleboro VT called Against the Grain but availability (or deliveries?) has not been consistent. When they don't have the baguette they've been using a white rice bread (can't remember the brand but available on the shelf at grocery stores) that my 4-yo daughter loves grilled with PB&J. They are supposed to use foil on the panini presses to prevent cross -contamination, but a friend suggested you may want to remind them. (They forgot on hers.)

The place across the street is the Keene Fresh Salad Company, and they also offer a gluten-free muffin each day.

Awesome! Thanks for the heads up, I may be looking to moving to keene NH in the future, if not somewhere close to there. Just another reason for me too look forward to it ;).

There is a new restaurant in Portsmouth run by Traci Anello. The cafe is entirely gluten-free. She used to have a little bakery in Wells ME and opened the one in Portsmouth very recently. This is the website: Open Original Shared Link I haven't been there personally since I live in NYC but the bakery in Wells was a little piece of heaven, and I am sure the new cafe is great. She does mail order of her focaccia roll mix and baked goods.

Yes! This place is fantastic. I did post about this joint a few months ago, anybody searching for threads under my name should find it. Highly recommended.

Yay! and we're heading that way for the 4th. Thanks for the reminder! I stopped by Anello's in Wells last summer, but they were closed. Peered through the window and haven't stopped thinking of lemon bars since.

      Hey there, have you been tested for allergies? You may not only have celiac disease but be allergic. I have celiac disease and am allergic to Barley, wheat and rye.

      I have osteopenia and have cracked three vertebrae.  Niacin is connected to osteoporosis! Do talk to your nutritionist and doctor about supplementing with B vitamins.  Blood tests don't reveal the amount of vitamins stored inside cells.  The blood is a transportation system and can reflect vitamins absorbed from food eaten in the previous twenty-four to forty-eight hours.  Those "normal limits" are based on minimum amounts required to prevent disease, not levels for optimal health.   Keep us posted on your progress.   B Vitamins: Functions and Uses in Medicine https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9662251/ Association of dietary niacin intake with osteoporosis in the postmenopausal women in the US: NHANES 2007–2018 https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11835798/ Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/   Nutritional Imbalances in Adult Celiac Patients Following a Gluten-Free Diet https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8398893/ Nutritional Consequences of Celiac Disease and Gluten-Free Diet https://www.mdpi.com/2036-7422/15/4/61 Simplifying the B Complex: How Vitamins B6 and B9 Modulate One Carbon Metabolism in Cancer and Beyond https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9609401/

      Thank you so much for the clarification! Yes to these questions: Have you consulted dietician?  Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Osteoporosis? Thyroid? Anemia?  Do you take any supplements, or vitamins? I’m within healthy range for nutritional tests, thyroid and am not anemic. I do have osteopenia. I don’t take any medications, and the dietician was actually a nutritionist (not sure if that is the same thing) recommended by my physician at the time to better understand gluten free eating.    I almost wish the gluten exposure had triggered something, so at least I’d know what’s going on. So confusing!    Many thanks!

      @JudyLou,  I have dermatitis herpetiformis, too!  And...big drum roll... Niacin improves dermatitis herpetiformis!   Niacin is very important to skin health and intestinal health.   You're correct.  dermatitis herpetiformis usually occurs on extensor muscles, but dermatitis herpetiformis is also pressure sensitive, so blisters can form where clothing puts pressure on the skin. Elastic waist bands, bulky seams on clothing, watch bands, hats.  Rolled up sleeves or my purse hanging on my arm would make me break out on the insides of my elbows.  I have had a blister on my finger where my pen rested as I write.  Foods high in Iodine can cause an outbreak and exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis. You've been on the gluten free diet for a long time.  Our gluten free diet can be low in vitamins and minerals, especially if processed gluten free foods are consumed.  Those aren't fortified with vitamins like gluten containing products are.  Have you consulted dietician?  Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Osteoporosis? Thyroid? Anemia?  Do you take any supplements, medicine, or vitamins? Niacin deficiency is connected to anemia.  Anemia can cause false negatives on tTg IgA tests.  A person can be on that borderline where symptoms wax and wane for years, surviving, but not thriving.  We have a higher metabolic need for more nutrients when we're sick or emotionally stressed which can deplete the small amount of vitamins we can store in our bodies and symptoms reappear.   Exposure to gluten (and casein in those sensitive to it) can cause an increased immune response and inflammation for months afterwards. The immune cells that make tTg IgA antibodies which are triggered today are going to live for about two years. During that time, inflammation is heightened.  Those immune cells only replicate when triggered.  If those immune cells don't get triggered again for about two years, they die without leaving any descendents programmed to trigger on gluten and casein.  The immune system forgets gluten and casein need to be attacked.  The Celiac genes turn off.  This is remission.    Some people in remission report being able to consume gluten again without consequence.   However, another triggering event can turn the Celiac genes on again.   Celiac genes are turned on by a triggering event (physical or emotional stress).  There's some evidence that thiamine insufficiency contributes to the turning on of autoimmune genes.  There is an increased biological need for thiamine when we are physically or emotionally stressed.  Thiamine cannot be stored for more than twenty-one days and may be depleted in as little as three during physical and emotional stresses. Mitochondria without sufficient thiamine become damaged and don't function properly.  This gets relayed to the genes and autoimmune disease genes turn on.  Thiamine and other B vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients are needed to replace the dysfunctional mitochondria and repair the damage to the body.   I recommend getting checked for vitamin and mineral deficiencies.  More than just Vitamin D and B12.  A gluten challenge would definitely be a stressor capable of precipitating further vitamin deficiencies and health consequences.   Best wishes!
