My daughter and I went to the beach (Maryland, Delaware beaches) last week. We discovered a new little restaraunt called To life! It's a gluten free restaraunt with online sevices. It's on Rt. 1 N. Ocean city Maryland area right after you enter the town of Fenwick island Delaware. If you are on route 1 and your heading north out of Ocean city, it is on the left hand side. The people who own and operate are wonderful. They were excited to meet us and gave us lots of information on celiacs that we didn't know about. LIke the link to the delphi forum product lists. (Amazing!) :) (The best info I have seen since being diagnosed) :D I wish I had had this list when I first became a celiac, I would have realized that I was wrong when I thought there was nothing for me to eat.

There's is thousands of items on it from regular stores...FANTASTIC!! :D

To life has specialty coffies and ice cream drinks, and they served hommade waffles for breakfast . The store is brand new so they don't have a ton yet, but they said that they will eventually have sandwiches and more baked goods, and will stock things like fresh pizza and soup in their refridgerators to heat up in your hotel microwave. It looks like they will be a small gluten-free grocery store. They also gave us info about restarauts in the area. They said there is a family of celiacs who own a restaraunt called The big easy in the Sea colony marketplace in Bethany beach, a few miles north of them. It has a whole seperate gluten-free kitchen. WOW! :D We didn't get a chance to try them but we will next time we go to the beach.

It just gets better and easier all the time, doesn't it? :D Wendy

Wouldn't it be cool to have a place like that right down the road? I would be there all the time. The nearest place to me is over an hour away. It sounds really cool!

I'm glad to hear that To Life was great. I am heading to Bethany soon. Did you have any luck at other places dining out with gluten free options?

I agree! Just got back from Bethany and I loved To Life! The owners are so nice, and very passionate about what they're doing. I also ate at The Big Easy - yum yum!

Wow! It's cool that so many of us live near enough to go to this place! I live about 3 hours from the beaches but I will even make it a day trip to go to this place again! :D

cheesecake, I don't know of any other gluten-free restaurants in the area but if any of you know of any in Cape may New Jersey we will be going there next week. If I have any luck I will let you know. :)

Yes--TO Life is great, I live right on the border of fenwick island and OC. Unfortunately I just started a VERY demanding 2 year/year round program in college, and even though I'm still working as much as possible, I know as of October I probably won't be able to work more than 1-2 days per week (if that!!)until 2007!! :o It's pretty scary :o so unfortunatly I've only made it there once-to the grand opening. But I tell you what, when each semesters finals are over you will find me there buying a treat for myself. It will be hard to choose though, :wacko: english muffins for my breakfast or brownie or chocolate chip cookie mix or....... Until I graduate I'll have to limit my purchases there, but just wait until afterwards ;)

If you do visit To Life, the owners told me they are organizing with area restaurants to educate them on gluten-free diet, so even though it's hit or miss now, I think within the next year there will be at least one or two (hopefully more) local restaurants that offer a gluten-free menu (or at least are educated as to cross contamination, etc). If you are here on vacation, check with them-they are definitely an invaluable source of info in this area.

:D

Sad news... :(

As part of Too Life's e-mail list, I received an e-mail yesterday that they are selling the store. Ideally they want to sell it to someone who would keep it a gluten-free cafe, but who knows.

sooo... anyone wanna go in with me and try to buy the place?? ;)

Seriously, the owners were so nice, it's really too bad.

      Oh yes I can understand the tiredness after going threw all that, must be exhausting especially on the mind I have high aniexty so I can understand that , I wish there more easier ways for people to get help , I had a MRI on my spine some years ago without anything it was really quick and no prep , I understand the need for  them to see better with the bowel ,but you think they would use something a little less traumatic  for ibd sufferers on the bowels by now ,I hope your feeling better today 🙏

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      The previous post did not come through right. I wonder if tingling burning feet are part of it.. I'm not sure if it's the med reaction that people with gluten intolerance get or the food we ate  It's frustrating because a person who did not want to admit to himself I had this condition wanted me to eat this chicken sandwich and now I'm stuck with a variety of symptoms plus now I'm hungry on top of it..  I'm new to this so I forget that "one bite" of the wrong thing can hurt us.😔. Do we stop eating if someone exposed us to gluten ??  My stomach is rumbling but my joints hurt ...  It's weird because I can feel the anxiety coming on.  I get joint problems ,  I don't know if anyone ever got hot flashes?? I suppose if it affects people head to toes you can get that too.   It's weird...hard to decipher what is what.   Also how long do I have to deal with this attack??  Makes me feel like not getting up out of bed.  I get too many symptoms which  horrible.  Thank you for your response..

      still struggling with cravings

      By wellthatsfun · Posted

      as my last post stated, i was diagnosed via endoscopy on the 14th of june. i have been eating amazing home cooked meals, luckily, mainly cooked by my boyfriend who is extremely careful about contamination (and is an incredible cook at that). however, i find myself in a mental rut still. being 18, this is the time in my life where i should be exploring things, going out, having fun. yet every corner i turn i'm tortured by the amazing smell of something i can't have anymore. the wonderful sight of such yummy foods. it's near torture. if my boyfriend and his friend who lives with us buy something i can't have, they'll usually eat it outside of the house or the car or wherever we are - which is greatly appreciated - but even seeing a burger or chips or a sausage roll in their hands guts me almost beyond repair. i just wanna have it again too. i miss it. i feel left out and it makes me very sad all the time. it's not their fault. they are allowed to eat whatever they want to, whatever their intestines will allow. it just stings, bad. and i feel so ungrateful given i basically have a private chef who is doubly the love of my life. but it's just so hard. i know i'll adapt. i haven't given up hope.i just wanted to vent. thank you for reading

      Thank you. I must have misinterpreted a study or something. Thank you for the clarification. Much appreciated. Almost three years into my celiac diagnosis and I'm still learning new things.
