ARCHIVED Nola Restaurant In New Orleans By Emeril
mamabear posted a topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
I tried to handpick a restaurant for a trip to New Orleans based on their online menus. I was really unsure I'd find anyone who understood gluten in the Crescent City, but decided on NOLA restaurant in the French Quarter. We had advance reservations(needed) and I was thrilled when the wait staff said they had several choices the chef could suggest from the... -
When I created this post a few years ago, it was mainly a comic relief effort to some really serious reactions from disengaged doctors. It has been gratifying to check in from time to time, because it still gives a chuckle; still gives a great vent and still educates us to keep pushing until you find a doctor who cares to be a partner in YOUR health and healing...

Worth it for the previous mentioned reasons of following specific lab tests that might be a creative stretch for your PCP to make the insurance company pay; worth it if you need the enforced mentality to stay on the diet; worth it if you need that for family members. Not worth it to get better. Too many doctors keep a blind eye to the variations and subtleties...

Just got back last weekend from the DC area in Alexandria VA Old Town and found 2 gems. Fontaine's cafe and creperie has gluten-free crepes. It is not 100% gluten-free restaurant but they are gluten savvy and the crepes were delicious. The Majestic Cafe was excellent; the servers well educated and the chef staff great. Hope someone else gets a chance to...

mamabear replied to irish daveyboy's topic in Publications & Publicity
Thanks Davey Boy!! This is how I've been regarding gluten sensitivity for a lon time, and am happy to see it in print! I mean, why would a body make an antibody to FOOD(gluten) and have it considered normal??? -
Hang in there,teemaree. It will get better. Promise!

It works very well, I think . I always keep a supply of it with me; you never know if celiac symptoms might strike at an inopportune moment! I found a little bit goes a long way for me; I usually bite ONE tiny pill in halves so I don't end up going the other way It is a smooth muscle relaxer and non narcotic. It will RARELY just stop you up,so really...

Well, I was about to get excited, then went and checked their website, and it's got wheat/gluten In fact, the ONLY thing we can eat there is a side salad and a couple of salad dressings. Think I'll give that puppy a pass............

Actually the bottom third of med school classes usually went into ortopedics and OBGYN. The top students in the past went into Internal Medicine which used to be the cream of the crop. With big business driving insurance companies(HMO,PPO,POS plans) into getting the diagnosticians(Internal Med) to being a "PCP",many of the docs responded into volume practice...

I think we are way off topic now, but here goes. Seems like there is a lot more attention given to all our negativity, rather than to a positive movement to solutions. There is a syndrome called HRC or "help---reject--complain". Someone calls for help;rejects the help and then complained they didn't get help. Of course that's a presumption that the help...

Even the best neurologist in West TN was unaware (until we talked and I gave him a 10 minute discourse) that unexplained peripheral neuropathy was a sign of celiac disease. The hematologists here are worse(unexplained iron deficiency has a 5-25% chance of being celiac..varies depending on which study) and they roundly here blithely ignore it even when it...
