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!

      New Study Reveals Age and Racial Gaps in Pediatric Celiac Testing

      The practical takeaway: "For people who care about celiac disease, especially families who have children at higher risk, the findings highlight the importance of self-advocacy." It's the only parameter that the affected individual or their family members have control over. We need to learn to become "politely pushy" in order to get proper testing done when...

      Positive biopsy

      If you are still eating gluten you could get a celiac disease blood panel done, but I agree with @trents and the gold standard for diagnosing celiac disease would be your endoscopy results. Is it possible they did do a celiac disease panel before your biopsy? This would be the normal chain of events. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each...

      Help understand results

      Actually, it would be more correct to say that the genetic potential to develop celiac disease is passed down from parents to children. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% of the general population actually do. But it is also true that the offspring of those who do have active celiac disease...

      If you are still eating gluten you could get a celiac disease blood panel done, but I agree with @trents and the gold standard for diagnosing celiac disease would be your endoscopy results. Is it possible they did do a celiac disease panel before your biopsy? This would be the normal chain of events. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% of the general population actually do. But it is also true that the offspring of those who do have active celiac disease are at a considerably higher risk of developing active celiac disease than those of parents who have the genes but don't develop the disease. Some recent, larger studies put the risk at near 50% for the first degree relatives of those who have active celiac disease.

      Fruits & Veggies

      By Jordan Carlson · Posted

      Hello everyone! Been a while since I posted. The past few moths have been the best by for recovery for myself. I have been the least bloated I have ever been, my constant throat clearing is almost gone, I have stopped almost all medication I was prevously taking (was taking vyvanse for adhd, pristiq for anxiety,fomotadine/blexten for histamine blockers and singulair). Only thing I take now is Tecta. I also no longer get any rashes after eating. Things are going very well. Most success came actually once I upped my B12 daily dose to 5,000 mcg. I do have one thing I am un able to figure out and want to see if anyone else has this issue or has experience working around it. Ever since I was born I have always had a issue getting fruits and veggies down. No matter how hard I tried, it would always result in gagging or throwing up. Always just thought I was a picky eater. Now that my stomach and system has healed enough that I can feel when something is off almost istantly, I notice that after eating most fruits (sometimes I am ok with bananas) and veggies, my stomach instantly starts burning and my heart starts to pound and I get really anxious as if my body doesnt know what to do with what just enetered it. So I am thinking now that this is what probably was going on when I was born and my body started rejecting it before which caused this weird sensory issue with it causing the gagging. Hoping someone has some exprience with this as well because I would love to be able to enjoy a nice fruit smoothie once in a while haha. Thanks everyone!

      i know i've been rather cynical and sad about being fully diagnosed in june 2025, but my boyfriend has been consistently showing me the wonderful world that is gluten free cooking and baking. in the past couple of days he's made me a gluten free rice paper-wrapped spanakopita "pastry", plus a wonderful mac and cheese bechamel-ish sauce with gluten free pasta (san remo brand if you're in australia/if you can get your hands on it wherever you are).  those meals are notably gluten free, but mainly he's been making me easy gluten free meals - chili mince with white rice and sour cream, chicken soup with homemade stock from the chicken remains, and roast chickens with rice flour gravy and roast veggies. i'm a bit too thankful and grateful lol. how lucky could i possibly be? and, of course, for those who don't have someone to cook for them, it's quite easy to learn to cook for yourself. i've been making a lot of meals for us too. honestly, cooking is pretty darn fun! knowing basic knife skills and sanitary practices are all you really need. experimenting with spices will help you get on track to creating some really flavourful and yummy dishes. coeliac is a pain, but you can use it to your advantage. healthier eating and having fun in the kitchen are major upsides. much luck to all of you! let's be healthy!
