Hi there,

My family will be traveling to Stowe Vermont in April. I would like to know of places to eat and/or buy groceries while there. My daughter has celiac and I like to know ahead of time where to eat so that she does not feel as if she is under a spot light.

We will be flying into Boston and spenfing a day there also. So any Boston info will be appreciated as well.

Tica,

Here is an excellent source for finding gluten-free food in the States. I think this will help you to find what you need.

Stowe is an incredible place and you should not have any trouble with the gluten-free thing there or in Boston. I live outside of Boston and I truly believe we are one of the most gluten-free friendly cities in the States. Hope you enjoy yourself and if you have never been to Stowe, you're going to be impressed. Make sure you drive through Smuggler's Notch....that's if the snow has melted by then! ;)

I forgot to add that, although Stowe really doesn't have any listings for specific places to eat gluten-free, I have never had a problem with obtaining

a gluten-free meal at most of the restaurants there. Most New Englanders are well versed with celiac disease or have at least heard of it. Burlington is close enough to Stowe and it's a much bigger city so that's another option for dinner/lunch out.

I used to live about 15 minutes from Stowe a number of years ago. I was not gluten-intolerant back then...sigh.....BUT my fav place to eat then was The Foxfire Inn. I'm confident that if you were to let them know when you make your reservations (suggested...at least back then) let them know of your needs and their chefs would be able to accomodate you well. I've only visited Boston a couple of times, but they are known for some of the best seafood places in the country and they ARE known to be Celiac-friendly, Legal Seafood comes to mind.

I had another thought. If you have time while in the Stowe area, about 15 miles away is Montpelier and the New England Culinary Institute (NECI). They run a restaurant called Chef's Table that is really good and run by the students and overseen by supervisors. Again, need reservations and I would tell them of dietary needs. I feel certain they would work with you. And wouldn't it be WONDERFUL to teach a bunch of up and coming chefs about our needs???

That sounds like a great idea!!! I am sort of tired of the blank stares when I tell the waiter or kitchen staff that my daughter can't eat gluten. If only more people would more aware of celiac disease, then life for those who eat gluten-free would be easier.

Tica,

I ate at a NECI restaurant in Burlington several years ago, and they did just fine. I'd hope for the same at Chef's Table.

There are also many upscale restaurants in the Stowe area that would probably be accommodating. Have you seen the Stowe tourist website? Open Original Shared Link

Before you go, you could email restaurants of interest and ask if they can help you. I don't have any firsthand experiences to share, but googling turns up some promising options. There are also some places between Boston and Stowe if you're driving up. (And if you are, you can stop at a Whole Foods Market on the way for tasty if expensive gluten-free bread & goodies).

I live in the Greater Boston Area, and I think I'm spoiled. Several chains here have Gluten Free menus: Legal's, Capital Grille, P.F.Chang's... You'll still want to ask questions, of course. Generally, I feel pretty safe anywhere where the kitchen prepares food to order and the waitstaff seems to be paying attention. FYI, There's a Legal's in Logan Airport.

Your daughter may still feel like she's under a spotlight a little, but I think many restaurants here are familiar with celiac disease. So you're less likely to get a waiter looking at you as if he were a deer in headlights and/or you're speaking in martian.

Have a great time, and best of luck.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!
