Hubby and I are planning a 3 night getaway to Newport in 2 weeks. I have searched old boards for suggestions and found some new ones that offer gluten-free menu's. Does anyone have any new suggestions?

Thanks all.

Well this past weekend was a huge learning experience. I did my research on restaurants before we left made phone calls and asked questions. I gotta say we had the best time. Spent 2 nights in a hotel and 1 night in a light house.

I found a gluten free bakery in Middletown just 5 minutes outside Newport. OMG, this place had the best fresh bread, rolls, biscotti, cookies, muffins, etc. I have not had anything so delicious since going gluten-free. The name is Eva Ruth's they distribute to local stores and do mail order. I just placed an order yesterday. If you check out the website look at the menu they offer alot more in the menu then on the site.

So the restaurants we tried were The Red Parrot, Benjamin s, Diego's, Diego's yes we went twice, O Briens, some had gluten-free menus others accommodated. The wait staff was so educated where every we went, all I said was gluten intolerant they couldn't do enough for me. Sadly The Cookie Jar, just a cookie place twisted me. I asked gluten-free yes we have macaroons ok give me 2. I get outside and realized she used her gloves she had been rolling cookie dough with was all over the bag. Well that ended in the garbage.

Brought fresh fish off the docks and brought to the lighthouse for lunch and dinner.

This was our first time away since going gluten-free, gotta thank the wonderful folks in Newport.

Cathey....you stayed in a lighthouse? May I ask where? I used to go to Newport a lot but haven't been in a long while.

I did not have any experience with finding gluten-free places so was really impressed with what you found. I had no idea you could stay in a lighthouse, though.....very cool!

      Waiting on biopsy after positive bloodwork, but also not really believing this is real

      By Alibu · Posted

      I was tested back in 2017 and my TTG-IGA was mildly elevated (an 11 with reference range <4) but my EMA was negative and biopsy was negative. Fast forward to 2 weeks ago where I was like y'know what, I still have so many symptoms and I'm always so sick, I should repeat this, thinking it was not going to be positive.  I also found out through 23 and me that I do have the HLA-DQ2.5 gene so I thought it would be good to repeat given my ongoing symptoms. Well my blood work came back with a ttg-iga level of 152.6 with a reference range of <15 and my EMA was positive and EMA titer was 1:10 with reference range of <1:5. I guess I'm nervous that I'm going to do the biopsy and it's going to be negative again, especially since I also had an endoscopy in 2020, not to look for celiac but just as a regular 5 year thing I do because of all my GI issues, and they didn't see anything then either. I have no idea how long the EMA has been positive but I'm wondering if it's very recent, if the biopsy will show damage and if so, if they'll say well the biopsy is the gold standard so it's not celiac? I of course am doing all the things to convince myself that it isn't real. Do a lot of people go through this? I think because back in 2017 my ttg-iga was elevated but not a huge amount and my EMA was negative and my biopsy was negative, I keep thinking this time it's going to be different. But this time my ttg-iga is 152.6 with reference range <15, and my EMA was positive. BUT, my titer is only 1:10 and I keep reading how most people here had a ttg-iga in the hundreds or thousands, and the EMA titer was much higher. So now I am convinced that it was a false positive and when they do the biopsy it'll be negative.

      Welcome to the forum, @linnylou73! Are you claiming this based on a reaction or based upon actual testing?

      Helping child go strict gluten-free and concerns about growth/height

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This varies a lot from person to person. I include foods that are not certified gluten-free but are labelled "gluten-free", while super sensitive people only use certified gluten-free. Both types of products have been found to contain gluten, so there are no guarantees either way: It you are in the super sensitive group, eating a whole foods based diet where you prepare everything is the safest bet, but it's also difficult. Eating out is the the most risky, even if a restaurant has a gluten-free menu. I also include items that are naturally gluten-free, for example refried beans, tuna, pasta sauces, salsas, etc., which have a low overall risk of contamination.
