Hi,

My boyfriend and I have booked a trip to NY and Boston in April this year (I'm a very sensitive coeliac) and whislt we've found some great places to eat out, we're struggling to find places to stay that can cater at least breakfast! We're not looking for anything fancy - the strength of the pound at the moment doesn't allow it! - but somewhere that is clean, cosy and friendly. Can anyone help?!

Thanks very much, :D

In NY there are two diners that serve gluten free food at breakfast. I would recommend you camp near them. One is near 42nd and lexington avenue, which is in the Grand Central Station area. The other is around 80th street and 1st avenue. There are not as many hotels in that area as there are near Grand Central, but there are a bunch more gluten-free dining spots.

I agree about staying near a restaurant that does gluten free breakfasts. I can personally recommend Peter's Diner, which, while it doesn't sound like too much, has an extensive and delicious gluten free menu, including pancakes and french toast.

It's located on the upper east side, on 1st Ave, in the early 80s.

I googled upper east side hotels, and it looks like the Gracie Inn isn't too far from there-just a few blocks away.

Hope this helps! Enjoy your visit in NYC. Let me know if there's anything else I can recommend for you! :)

Hi Lucy,

While I cannot help out with a specific place to stay, I will say that Boston is an extremely progressive city when it comes to Celiac Disease so wherever you book, just tell the waitstaff or manager about your dietary needs and I am positive that they will accommodate you. Boston is filled with many excellent restaurants which cater to Celiac so lunch and dinner won't be a problem. My best advice is to do a search on "Gluten free B & B's in Boston, Ma". I did a quick one and came up with some places advertising help with dietary restrictions. If you find anything and want info on the locations, just post and I'll help you with that.

I have been to London many times and what I usually do is go to one of the many breakfast places through-out the city and tell them what I need. Londoners are fantastic about it and I have never been glutened or had a problem. You should be able to do the same here. Both cities earn high marks for awareness.

If you want specific restaurants try looking at this: Open Original Shared Link

Many of the chains listed have places in Boston.

Good luck and I hope you enjoy Boston as much as I do London!

Are you looking to stay in hotels or smaller bed and breakfasts? In NYC, I stayed at Open Original Shared Link. It was reasonably priced and they accommodated me for dinner and breakfast in their dining room.

In Boston, you might try Open Original Shared LinkI've never stayed there (I live right outside Boston) so I don't know how expensive it is but have gone there several times for brunch which is FABULOUS and they accommodate gluten-free.

If you want smaller B&B's or inns, let me know.

I just came from Cambridge MA and ate out three times without getting CC. That is saying a lot because I am very sensitive and almost always get CC'ed. I ate at Legal Seafoods (there are many locations in Boston/Cambridge) and twice at the Stone Hearth Pizza in Cambridge Open Original Shared Link they had excellent salads and gluten-free pizza. I highly recommend them if you are near one of their locations.

StefanieGF is right- Legal Seafoods is GREAT and there are many locations in Boston and the surrounding area.

I just got back from NYC. We stayed at Open Original Shared Link. It's the third time I've stayed there and I LOVE it! The prices are usually reasonable and there are so many gluten-free options nearby:

Open Original Shared LinkSO good. i had gluten-free pasta carbonara.

Open Original Shared Link- didn't eat there but it's on my list for next time.

Open Original Shared Linkhad a great Five napkin burger there on a gluten-free roll!

Here are two links you might find helpful Open Original Shared Link

Open Original Shared Link

If you can, go to Risoterria in the Village- it's amazing!

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      If you haven't noticed a difference yet, bump up your Thiamax. Add in another Thiamax with breakfast and lunch. Increase the NeuroMag as well. You can add in another Benfotiamine, too.

      Hello, @hjayne19, About half of the people with Celiac disease react to the protein Casein in dairy the same as to gluten with the inflammation and antibodies and all. Reacting to Casein is not the same as lactose intolerance nor a dairy allergy. Damaged villi are incapable of producing lactAse, the enzyme that digests lactOse, the sugar in dairy....

      You may be cross reacting to the protein "casein" in dairy, which is structurally similar to gluten. People assume lactose intolerance is the only problem with dairy. It is not, at least for the celiac community.

I just wish doctors understood. I am with new gi and new pcp but im falling apart because blood work is fabulous.Im so ANGERY.I have reached out to my local representative, in Stanislaus but its just weekly stuff.Im going to need to physical go down there.Any recommendations on what to say and do because this is absolutely ridiculous. If I didn't have my husband though we are really hurting with one income, I would absolutely be one of the homeless population. Thats alarming begging to be heard about a diagnosis that was given as an adult and dealing with this, medical needs to stick to patients regardless of switching insurance or doctor.

      Hello, @hjayne19, About half of the people with Celiac disease react to the protein Casein in dairy the same as to gluten with the inflammation and antibodies and all.  Reacting to Casein is not the same as lactose intolerance nor a dairy allergy.  Damaged villi are incapable of producing lactAse, the enzyme that digests lactOse, the sugar in dairy.  When the villi grow back, the villi can resume making lactase again.  I react to casein. Keep in mind that part of the autoimmune response to gluten and casein is the release of histamine.  Histamine causes inflammation, but it is also powerful excitory neurotransmitter, causing heightened mental alertness.  Histamine release is what causes us to wake up in the morning.  Unfortunately, excessive histamine can cause insomnia.  Our bodies can make histamine, but foods we eat contain different amounts of histamine, too.  Our bodies can clear a certain amount of histamine, but if overwhelmed, chronic high histamine levels can keep inflammation going and cause other health problems.   I got very weary of playing Sherlock Holmes trying to deduce what I was reacting to this week, so I adopted the low histamine version of the Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet designed by a doctor with Celiac, Dr. Sarah Ballantyne.  Her book, The Paleo Approach, has been most helpful.   The low histamine AIP diet cuts out lots of foods that are known to be irritating to the digestive tract.  After a few weeks, when my system was calmer and healing, I could try adding other foods to my diet.  It was much easier starting with safe foods, adding one thing at a time, and checking for reactions than trying to figure out what I was reacting to with so many variables.  I learned to recognize when I had consumed too much histamine from different combinations of foods.  Everyone is different and can tolerate different amounts of histamine in their food.  B Vitamins help us make enzymes that break down histamine.  Vitamin D helps regulate and calm the immune system.  Supplementing with Thiamine helps prevent mast cells from releasing histamine.  Keeping a food-mood-poo'd journal helps identify problematic foods.   I hope you will consider trying the AIP diet.

      Insomnia help

      By hjayne19 · Posted

      Hi @knitty kitty  Just revisiting this to get some help. I found after understanding the extent of my anxiety, my sleep got a little better. Flash forward to a few weeks later I have had a few bad sleeps in a row and I feel desperate for a good nights sleep. I understand worrying about it won’t help but one thing I had tied things too was dairy. Initially when I went gluten free I felt great for the first few weeks then started having some stomach pain. So thought maybe I was lactose intolerant. I started eating lactose free Greek yogurt and that did help take the cramping away I guess. Over the last few months I haven’t eaten it every single day and I went a few weeks without it. The last few nights I did have a small amount with breakfast and noticed that was the only new thing I’ve really added to my diet. I had seen a few other posts about this. Is it possible to still react to lactose free? Would this potentially be a dairy allergy? Or something else.
