I'm not a New Yorker but mozzarellis nyc tweets their gluten free food everyday on Twitter. @mozzarellis is their Twitter name.

Hello,

There's a number of places in NYC that have menus with gluten free choices. Most of them are easily found on the internet, and in past posts here.

While these restaurants are varied and (usually) safe for gluten intolerance, there are also many other places in NYC which have delicious food that is naturally gluten free. This is the subject of an article that a friend of mine recently put on his food blog, which includes some suggestions:

When frequenting restaurants like this, it's up to the customer to determine the risks of contamination by speaking to a manager or owner before dining.

There's seven Whole Food locations in Manhattan, and they have a good selection of gluten-free products.

Have a great time in NYC!

If you take the (free) Staten Island Ferry be sure to get and walk a couple of blocks to the right, where you'll find Tuttoriso. Maybe the best gluten-free bread I've ever had. I think the whole place is gluten-free.

We also tried Risotteria -- gluten-free pizzas and paninis. Very good.

Oh my goodness! A big THANK YOU to everyone for all your assistance. I was only diagnosed recently and the idea of travelling was a bit overwhelming but I feel very confident that I"ll be able to eat out AND be able to purchase some great gluten-free groceries.

And being a Torontonian addicted to Tim Hortons coffee I'm excited to see there is a Timmies near Times Square. It's shaping up to be a great trip.

Thanks everyone!

New York City is the number one travel destination in the world for Gluten-Free dining accomodations.

Lilli and Loo, on the Upper East Side, is fantastic - my current hands-down favorite Asian food place in NYC. I was diagnosed 4 1/2 years ago, so I can remember eating at many similar restaurants in NYC, and elsewhere, before going gluten free. The food on Lilli & Loo's gluten-free menu is on a par with the best of them. They have excellent lunch specials on weekdays, which are great for a late afternoon early-dinner as well.

They deliver, within a certain distance, so you may even be able to have it brought right to your hotel.

Pan-Asian & Pacific Rim, Sushi, Thai, Chinese

792 Lexington Ave (between E. 61 and E. 62 Street)

My daughter in living in NYC right now finishing up her internship and she has celiac disease... she says gluten-free is very easy there! Also whole foods store is her best friend.

She recently did a review of Mozzarellis, a gluten-free pizza place with many gluten-free desserts.

Best of luck with your travels.

      I adapted this to be a gluten-free recipe from www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/autumn-pear-bread. Wonderful flavor profile, great texture, fairly easy to make. The almond flavor from the almond flour complements the pear flavor. Ingredients 1 cup almond flour 1 cup sweet rice flour 1 cup millet flour 2 Tablespoons tapioca flour 1 cup sugar 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 3/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg 6 tablespoons cold butter 3 large eggs, room temperature 3/8 cup buttermilk (1 tsp white vinegar + 3/8 cup milk) 2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 ½ cup finely chopped ripe pears (1-2 med/large pears. You could peel them but I don't) Directions (optional) cut butter into pats, place on saucer in the refrigerator while prepping other ingredients In large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and nutmeg. (I use a whisk to mix) Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. (I use pastry blender) Combine eggs, buttermilk and vanilla (I use same whisk); stir into flour mixture just until moistened. (I use a mixing spoon) Fold in pears. (mixing spoon) Spoon into 2 greased 5 x 8 inch loaf pans Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans on to wire rack. Allow to cool completely. Not sure how long you can keep this at room temperature because it gets eaten quickly

      @Jmartes71, I understand how frustrated you feel.  I have been disappointed with the medical system myself.  Have you read my story in my blog?   What can we do to help you get better?   Nutritional deficiencies are common in Celiac disease.  Have you been checked for vitamin and mineral deficiencies?   Which supplements are you taking?

      It would seem then that your next step should be a biopsy to check for damage to the villous lining of the small bowel. But you must not reduce gluten intake until that is performed else healing will take place in that area of the intestines and the biopsy results would be invalidated.

      Welcome, @anya22, Can you tell us more about your diet?   How much gluten containing foods did you eat?  What kinds of gluten containing foods did you eat?  What has your high calorie diet consisted of?   Some gluten containing foods contain less gluten than others.  Cakes and cookies may have less gluten than something like deep dish pizza.   Glad you're here!
