Door County, Wisconsin

In a couple of weeks we are going to Door County for a few days. I have been there the past few years, but that was before being gluten-free.

Any restaurant suggestions?

One thing that depresses me is that my favorite thing about Door County is the cherry pie and all the homemade pastries..and I am going to have to miss out on those from now on.

I know I saw that the Mission restaurant has a gluten-free menu, which is awesome, since it is my favorite restaurant there, but it is also very pricey, and this trip we will be trying to eat more cheaply.

Any suggestions would be appreciated, child-friendly too =)

Thanks!!

Sorry I don't have any restaurant suggestions... just wanted to put in my two cents about Wisconsin (which is where I grew up, although I've never been to Door County).

For a celiac... especially if you're a person like me who doesn't drink alcohol or eat cheese... the food situation in Wisconsin is generally BAD. Have you thought about finding a cabin or hotel room with a kitchen? I know it's not as relaxing to cook your own food, but it's definitely safe (and cheap). Then all you have to worry about is finding a grocery store and bringing a few basic cooking utensils... cutting board, knife, frying pan, a couple of pots... a George Foreman grill can be pretty versatile ;) I could easily live off grilled meat, salad, and fresh fruit for several days.

actually as I said I have been to Door County before and it is anything but the stereotypical beer, brat and cheese place. It is much classier than that :) Think the 'cape cod of the Midwest', many nice restaurants and local food. Not a fast food place or chain in site.

Honestly, I gave had much gluten-free success here in Wisconsin, including an amazing meal at my favorite Indian restaurant in Milwaukee last night after a trip to the Whole Foods gluten-free section of the bakery :)

Wow... obviously I'm not from a "classy" part of Wisconsin. Good luck with your trip to tourist-land.

I apologize, I didn't mean to come off as offensive at all :(

I am actually living in Kenosha right now. i lived in Chicago for 7 years, and we just moved here...and I get a lot of flack from my friends about how I am in the boonies, etc.... So, I can be quick to defend the state :) I mean sure there are areas where finding gluten-free would be difficult as it would be in any state, and then areas that are more trendy that have more current food needs as in any other state as well.

Thankfully Door County is not uber touristy or cheesy, but happens to be a very nice place for a close getaway :)

Again, i apologize.

We had a horrible experience trying to eat gluten-free in Door County. Moral of the story pack food and bring it with you in a cooler LOL.

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.

      Is this celiac?

      By Beverage · Posted

      Exactly which blood tests were done? There are a few different ones and some docs don't do them all. Also, your results and reference ranges for each?

      Thankyou so much for your words.Its a hard battle when a supposed well known hospital whose celiac " specialist " has down played me because my colon looks fine and put it in my medical and so pcp doesn't take seriously. In their eyes we all carry that gene.Im having alot of bad days trying to be positive because of it.

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.
