My family and I will be traveling to Lake George, New York in the summer for vacation. I was wondering if anyone knew of any restaurants in Lake George or the surrounding areas that have a gluten free menu or will accomodate gluten free.

Thanks,

Tina in New Jersey

There are several active groups in the area...possibly Albany. My advice would be to contact them for the latest info. There is a page here that lists groups where you can get contact info.

I'm going there too in late June. Here are a few tips for you:

S.J. Garcia's on Canada Street has several gluten free items. Sadly, I'm not a big fan of Mexican food. Heres's the link:

Open Original Shared Link

Several of the national chains with gluten free menus are also around:

Pizzeria Uno in Queensbury (only a 10 minute drive away):

Open Original Shared Link

Outback in Queensbury

Open Original Shared Link

There's also a Carrabba's about 45 miles away in Latham, but that's a little far to go for dinner unless it's on the way for you.

In my pre-gluten-free days, I had a good experience at the Log Jam Restaurant, which is a familiy steakhouse. They claim to accomodate special dietary needs, so it might be worth a try:

Open Original Shared Link

I also had some great breakfasts at The Silo and Sutton Marketplace. Not sure how Celiac friendly they are, but they do have quaint country stores that are worth checking out regardless:

Have a great trip!

Hi Ted,

Thanks for the info.

I knew about Garcia's but we fell the same way not crazy about mexican

My husband and I went to the LogJam last year it was great.

There's also an Outback in Lake George by the Walmart. This is the second year we are going there just wanted to check and see if there is anything different that we didn't know about.

Thanks again,

Tina in NJ

Out of curiousity, what did you get at the Log Jam that was gluten free? I imagine they could probably make a steak gluten-free without too much trouble.

Ted

there are a few places in Saratoga Springs (about 25-30 min/20 miles from Lake George) if you want to venture outside of the immediate LG area. One place is Nunzio's - it's really just a deli but they make an awesome gluten-free pizza. (it's a million times better than the gluten-free pizza from Unos.) you can eat in or get it to go but you have to give them an hours notice so they can make the pizza for you. (it's fresh each time, not frozen or anything).

a local newspaper blogger has written about them: Open Original Shared Link

also in Saratoga, the Circus Cafe offers a gluten-free menu: Open Original Shared Link

as does Wheatfields (ironic name, right?) Open Original Shared Link

have fun in Lake George!

Hi Ted,

It's my husband who is gluten free. He got a very large steak, baked potato, and vegetable and also salad at the LogJam Restaurant and didn't have any problems at all.

KD's Fish Fry is the best! Google KD's. They have great food at low prices and Dawn's dedication is remarkable. They have alot more than seafood and they have packaged treats and meals to go. Very tasty stuff.

That's great. Thanks! I figured steak was safe, but I'll still make sure to ask them not to put anything on it.

I went to Lake George in late June for 2 nights and figured I'd post a follow-up regarding my meals. The rest of my family eats gluten, so I'm only mentioning what I had for the most part:

We ate dinner at the Log Jam (Open Original Shared Link) on the first night and I had the "Natural" rib-eye steak with a big baked potato. The steak only has olive oil, salt and pepper on it and was quite delicious. Dinner comes with a trip to the salad bar, but of course you need to be careful when choosing items. Overall it was very good and I had no reaction at all.

Breakfast the next day was at The Silo (Open Original Shared Link). I got scrambled eggs, corned beef hash and homefries. The waitress was familiar with food allergies and she seemed to know what was safe. I didn't have any reaction, other than the usual slightly queasy feeling from greasy but delicious fried breakfast food.

Dinner was at Outback and I had the Chicken on the Barbie with another baked potato (plus a salad with the Tomato dressing). It's always good, but I never feel that well after eating it. I don't think I was glutened, but the sauce and salad dressing probably don't agree with me all that well in general.

Breakfast the next day was at the hotel (Country Inn and Suites) and I had fruit and hard boiled eggs at their buffet. The breakfast buffet was pretty impressive for a complimentary breakfast.

We then stopped at KD's Fish Fry for lunch on the way back. First of all, if you're in a rush, do not drive through Saratoga as it's very slow going. The better way to go is to get off the Northway at exit 13N by the Saratoga Performing Arts Center. It's a bit out of the way, but only about 10 minutes from the highway if you don't get lost (thankfully I had a GPS). We were there right around lunchtime on a Saturday and it was completely empty, so I'm hoping they get most of their business during the week or maybe at dinner time.

The food was amazing -- I had some delicious fried fish, french fries and incredibly good onion rings. My wife tried them and would never have known that they were gluten free. It was one of those times when the food tasted so good that I was afraid I was eating regular versions by mistake, but I felt fine, which is pretty impressive considering all of the fried food I was eating. My wife had regular fried shrimp and my kids had the macaroni and cheese triangles which looked really yummy. For dessert, I bought some gluten-free chocolate chocolate chip cookies to go, which were delicious. Really the only negative thing I have to say is that the ambiance could use a bit of upgrading to bring it up to the level of the food. I'd love to see KD work on frozen versions of the fried food to sell in supermarkets, but I don't know how likely that really is.

Regards,

Ted (in NY)

Hi Ted, so happy to hear you found us and that you enjoyed it so much. Just wanted to let you know I am working on shipping although it will be direct to the customer rather than in a grocery store. My kitchen is too small to produce for a chain store. I am looking into supplying food co-ops in the tri state area up here also. Keep a eye on the website daffifoods.com Dawn aka Kitchen Witch of KD's Fish Fry.

      In the study linked above, the little girl switched to a gluten free diet and gained enough weight that that fat pad was replenished and surgery was not needed.   Here's the full article link...

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
