    i'd recommend lili's 57 at 57th and 7th, it's an easy walk from times square. Open Original Shared Link

    thanks for all the helpful suggestions. i exercise a lot but i need to increase my strength training / weight lifting to target bone buildup. i'll also ask my doctor about magnesium and zinc, i didn't know there was a connection. my main concern though is that everything i read says there is a likelihood of osteoporosis with undiagnosed celiac in someone...

    hi, i'm wondering if anyone can help me understand my recent diagnosis of osteopenia and osteoporosis. i was diagnosed in 1998 and have gluten-free ever since. i never cheat on the diet and i go with assumption that everything has gluten and work backwards from there. i rarely have stomach problems anymore (and can almost always trace it back to something...

    who has pulled their gluten-free menus?

    i've had great luck with continental. there have been a few times where they haven't had the meal, but they acknowledge it (rather than trying to slip a meal with gluten to you) the best is coming home from europe, cos they get the gluten free food in europe which is always better than here in the states

    are the toppings all gluten free?

    i was just at a wedding this weekend. i got the number of the caterer from the bride and groom and spoke with her and she was extremely nice and helpful. (bonus: my friends are so nice they surprised me with gluten-free whole foods brownies for dessert!) last summer i went to a wedding where i did not know either the bride or the groom (i was going as a...

    i went to mangia trattoria for the first time tonight and it was AWESOME! first off it was so cool to just go into a local place (my mom lives less than 20 mins away) and grab some pizza. it came in real pizza boxes which was fun, i felt normal! the best part about the pizza is that isn't super small. it's not quite normal size but it's one of the largest...

    hi! i'm in northern jersey too - i grew up in bergen county, and i'm in hoboken now. there's a GREAT restaurant in Ho-Ho-Kus called Janice's - the food is EXCELLENT, a lot of it is gluten free (they will tell you what is/isn't, it seems like most is) and they have gluten free bread. it's great if you want to go somewhere beyond chain restaurants (that...

    sometimes they put rice noodles in mine, sometimes they don't. i don't understand why, by all accounts they are gluten free.

    pei wei is awesome. i had really great service when i went to one in southern california. i finally had the singapore street noodles for the first time cos of the recommendations on this site - SO GOOD! i used to think chang's spicy chicken was my favorite but now this is it! quick question about the lettuce wraps: is the gluten free version supposed...

    i've been to holland twice, once in amsterdam and once in boxtel (near eindhoven). i had good luck both times. in amsterdam, i stuck mostly to milk and fruit and dry food i brought with me from the states, but that's just cos i didn't want to spend the money on going out to eat! get a celiac card in dutch (they are online for free, search through google...

    i just got back from dublin and belfast. both northern ireland and the republic have coeliac societies just look it up on google (like 'coeliac' and 'ireland'). in dublin, in temple bar there's a great restaurant called 'fitzer's' and their menu is clearly labelled. there's also a placed called 'FXB' like a steak place near the river, they are really good...

    i'm traveling to stockholm and helsinki for the first time on a backpacking trip. i was wondering what the deal is with the gluten free cheeseburgers at mcdonalds? is it in all mcdonalds or is it one special one in Helsinki? is there a special name for it? i've heard english is widely spoken in both cities so will i be ok with just asking in english for gluten...

    does anyone know if the 'harvest medley' salads are gluten free? at the top they say 'safeway select' and they are those salads that are prewashed ready to eat. one of them has frosted almonds and sweetened dried cranberries and the almonds have 'natural and artificial flavors'. if anyone knows that'd be great ! these salad bags are so convenient and the...

    ARCHIVED Bk Fries

    astyanax replied to pnltbox27's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    i can understand wanting a child to get to experience something normal like french fries at a fast food place. personally i just 100% avoid BK because, even though they said they were fried in separate friers, i kept finding onion rings in the french fries. i suggest going to any other fast food place with gluten-free fries in dedicated friers.

    i'm not sure how it is possible to eat at a buffet without cross contamination. people stick a spoon into something then over their plate - if there's bread or whatever on their plate, they easily come in contact. plus at cheaper buffets there's always food slipping into the wrong bins.

    ARCHIVED Italy

    astyanax replied to Lexis's topic in Traveling with Celiac Disease

    i'm going to italy in march! i've been to europe before, i find the language barrier is the biggest problem (i don't speak any foreign languages). DEFINITELY bring cards in italian that explain celiac and bring a bunch so you can just give them to the waitstaff and chefs. i went on the italian celiac website but it's in italian only (as far as i could...

    ARCHIVED Sandwich 101

    astyanax replied to sandys's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    i love both the raw chicken and the medication analogies! thanks for a great way to explain to people how important avoiding cross contamination is.

    so is it ok to order at a restaurant? or should you ask them if they know if flour has been added?

    i just moved to bethesda, MD and i'm still pretty unfamiliar with where stuff is but i do know there's a legal seafoods right off the Gallery Place/Chinatown metro stop (the red, green and yellow lines all stop there) and there's also an irish pub called 'fado's' that has strongbow cider on tap! bethesda, off the red line, has an austin grill, ruth...

    ireland was pretty good, but i gotta say disneyworld is the best ! every restaurant can serve gluten free and they have a huge variety of restaurants with different types of food etc. they have stuff in the parks and the hotels and they make you feel like it's a pleasure for them to cook gluten free

    ARCHIVED Chipotles

    astyanax replied to key's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    i feel like it's almost impossible to eat gluten-free there. the salsas all get contaminated cos the same spoon that goes into them goes onto a wheat flour tortilla. i would imagine even if they change their gloves, if it's something a spoon has been dipped into, it's not ok. sometimes i get the chips though, if you get them take away they are already in...

    i second the bi-aglut!!!!! it's the only pasta i can eat and enjoy completely plain (like i used to do all the time with normal pasta) it's kind of expensive though
