Staying At A B&B?

Has anyone successfully stayed at a Bed and Breakfast and gotten safe food? I know most places will have fruit, but I hate to spend the whole weekend eating bananas for breakfast. I was wondering if there are any places that accomodate gluten free and other food intolerances. What can they make that's safe? Any websites to explore with gluten free B&B listings? I'm especially looking for a places in North Carolina, Virginia or DC area, but any other suggestions around the country are welcome (I like to travel and if we don't stay there for this trip maybe we will for another trip).

I would be very wary about doing this, even if they say they cater to gluten-free people. I would think that cc is a big problem for this kind of establishment unless they are very large with a professional kitchen. For breakfast, I'd stick with yogurt, fruit, cottage cheese, gluten-free cereals - maybe things that will fit in a cooler that you can keep in your room. That's what I did on a recent trip that we took to hotels that offered breakfasts/continental breakfasts.

But if you do find a b&b that works, please let us know!

Thanks, I haven't found one yet, but I'm looking. I've done hotels successfully by just bringing my own food and only eating banana and hard boiled eggs from the breakfast buffet. I was hoping there were some B&B's out there that know how to handle gluten free food requests, but cc is a very real concern for me. I'm looking at romantic weekend packages in the Virginia mountains and almost everything I'm seeing is at B&B's. My problem is trying to figure out if the costs of the packages are worth it when food is usually included in the price. sigh. back to the drawing board. I can plan a much less expensive weekend at a regular hotel and bring my own food, but I'm wanting gorgeous views,rooms with fireplaces and a big soaking tub or jacuzzi in a semi-private retreat area. All the cabin rentals seem to be for big parties or a family and are out of my price range for a weekend.

I found this by typing 'gluten free bed and breakfast in Virginia' in google.

6 places come up as offering gluten free meals. Maybe one of these would work for you. I'm not familiar with Virginia so I'm not sure if these are in the mountains. You could call to see how they prep and handle CC.

Good luck!

Thank you! We actually found a cabin we can afford for the weekend. It's in the mountains with a kitchen so I will just pack all my food and cook for the weekend, but I will be looking into these B&B's for future vacations. It's nice to know there are some places that will make an effort.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      You have an odd story there. To me, the mechanical trigger suggests a mechanical problem and lower leg pain is a classic sciatica symptom. The fact that the clear mechanical linkage is no longer there does not take away from the fact that it was - maybe something shifted and the simple alignment is no longer there. There's also a good chance I am wrong and...

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      Oddly this effect has gone now, just happened yesterday evening, the nerve pain is now back to its usual "unpredictable" random self again - but that was the only time I ever had some mechanical trigger for it, don't know why! There's no (or wasn't) actual pain in my neck - it was inside the leg, but when I looked down, now though, the leg pain just comes...

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      I had MRI scan a few years ago showing everything normal, and now it's no longer triggering the nerve pain when I bow my head today - it only seemed to happen yesterday, and that was the only time it happened! Just seemed weird as no movement has caused my usual nerve pain before. It's normally just random.

      COVID-19 a Possible Trigger for Celiac Disease in Those with Genetic Risk

      This hypothesis certainly lines up with my experience. Avoided getting Covid until August 2022. Celiac diagnosis three months later, and they think they caught it early (not a ton of damage in my EGD). I'd suspected the connection before, so it's nice to see researchers are interested in this question.

      Fusilli Pizzeria, Miller Place, NY

      Very good pizzeria with small dining room in back of the restaurant. The owner's daughter has celiac & they have gluten free pizza & a gluten free menu. Some items from the regular menu can be made gluten free also. They have a lunch menu which we ordered from & my chicken with spinach & mozzarella over gluten-free penne was delicious...

The fact that the clear mechanical linkage is no longer there does not take away from the fact that it was - maybe something shifted and the simple alignment is no longer there. There's also a good chance I am wrong and it's something else entirely. @Scott Adams's mention of shingles is interesting. It seems possible but unlikely to me, but who knows. However, I am writing here to reinforce the idea of getting the shingles vaccine. Ask anyone who has ever had shingles and they will bend your ear telling you how bad it is. I watched my wife go through it and it scared the bejeebers out of me. Even if you had the chicken pox vaccine, you really want to get the shingles vaccine.

Some items from the regular menu can be made gluten free also. They have a lunch menu which we ordered from & my chicken with spinach & mozzarella over gluten-free penne was delicious. They also have Tuesday night pasta specials & Thursday night chicken pasta specials. We plan on going back for dinner soon.

      Celiac flare years after diagnosis

      By nancydrewandtheceliacclue · Posted

      @Aretaeus Cappadocia and @Russ H thank you both for your helpful advice and information. I haven't seen a GI in years. They never helped me aside from my inital diagnosis. All other help has come from my own research, which is why I came here. I will be even more careful in the future.
