There have been numerous discussions on this board about various restaurants in New York--most of them have gotten positive reviews.

I have enjoyed meals at:

Sambuca

Lumi

Nizza

Nice Matin

Candle 79

Lili's 57

Risotteria

Friedmann's Lunch

A good source of recommendations (especially for NYC) is: www.glutenfreerestaurants.org

Also, does anyone know of a bakery in NYC where I can buy fresh gluten free bread? (sandwich-type bread, not cake)

Tulu's, my favorite cupcake place on 11st & 1 ave sometimes has bread (although personally i didn't love it). The Whole Foods by me (White Plains) now carries Udi's Breads UNFROZEN in the bread section so I guess that's closest to "fresh".

Babycakes has AMAZING doughnuts, crumb cakes, chocolate chip banana bread, etc.

As others have said, Bistango, Mozzarelli's and Risotteria are all AMAZING! Lumi is fantastic for special occasions.

They're not exactly places we go as NY'ers but they do have at least one location each in the city that I know of so it's worth mentioning that Outback and Pizzeria Uno have gluten-free menus.

I haven't been but there is a place on the UWS called Cafe 82 that does a lot of gluten-free events.

Peter's on the UES is a diner type of restaurant with a HUGE gluten free menu. Great for comfort food.

The Heartland Brewery by Port Authority has a gluten-free menu. So far only this location has it (which is really annoying since the one in Times Sq. is literally outside my office building).

Also FANTASTIC are Pala, Emporio and Rubirosa.

Check out this site as well: Open Original Shared Link

If you ever travel outside the city to Westchester or Long Island there are tons of great restaurants with gluten free menus in those areas also.

It might just be me...but I wasn't all that impressed with Babycakes. I mean it was good but I wouldn't make that haul out to get them again if I were in town.

I think it depends what you get. Honestly, I don't love their cupcakes. I had them once and never got them again. I do have friends that love them but I wasn't a big fan. However I think the doughnuts are incredible and I could eat their blueberry crumb cake and chocolate chip banana bread all day, every day!

NYC may be the best city in the world to be Celiac. There are tons of choices, and more every month. There are also options at all different price points.

For Italian, Lumi, Bistango, Emporio, and Nizza are all very good. Risotteria is a must try and is always the first that you hear about upon Celiac diagnosis, and I enjoy it, but it's not my favorite. Really, the gluten-free Italian restaurant market is pretty saturated these days.

Mozzarelli's is the only NY style by-the-slice pizza place that offers gluten free. I go there all the time for lunch. Most of the others are sit down, whole pie style.

S'Mac is good and cheap, Mac and cheese. Cafe 82 or Peter's for diner fare. Ruby Foo and Lilly and Loo make Chinese. Ruby Foo is pretty much a PF Chang's clone.

At this point though, there are options in nearly every neighborhood of Manhattan, and even Queens, Brooklyn, and Hudson County, NJ have multiple options. If you know what you want, you can generally find it gluten-free somewhere in NYC.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
