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.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
    • trents
      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.

      After the birth of my daughter nearly 6 years ago, my stools changed. They became thin if they happened to be solid (which was rare) but most of the time it was Bristol #6 (very loose and 6-8x a day). I was on various medications and put it down to that. A few years later I went on this strict "fruit and meat" diet where I just ate meat, fruit, and squash vegetables. I noticed my stools were suddenly formed, if a bit narrow. I knew then that the diarrhea was probably food related not medication related. I tried following the fodmap diet but honestly it was just too complicated, I just lived with pooping 8x a day and wondering how I'd ever get and keep a job once my children were in school.  This past December I got my yearly bloodwork and my triglycerides were high. I looked into Dr. William Davis (wheat belly author) and he recommended going off wheat and other grains. This is the first time in my life I was reading labels to make sure there was no wheat. Within 2 weeks, not only were my stools formed and firm but I was only pooping twice a day, beautiful formed Bristol #4.  Dr. Davis allows some legumes, so I went ahead and added red lentils and beans. Nervous that the diarrhea would come back if I had IBS-D. Not only did it not come back, it just made my stools even bigger and beautiful. Still formed just with a lot more width and bulk. I've also been eating a lot of plant food like tofu, mushrooms, bell peppers, hummus etc which I thought was the cause of my diarrhea before and still, my stools are formed. In January I ran a genetics test because I knew you had to have the genes for celiac. The report came back with  DQ 2.2 plus other markers that I guess are necessary in order for it to be possible to have celiac. Apparently DQ 2.2 is the "rarer" kind but based on my report it's genetically possible for me to have celiac.  I know the next step is to bring gluten back so I can get testing but I am just not wanting to do that. After suffering with diarrhea for years I can't bring myself to do it right now. So that is where I am!
