    Mtndog, I'm also on the North Shore and while the first time I ate at Uno's in Swampscott I was fine, the second time I was severely sick afterwards. Since I never liked chain restaurants to begin with, they probably lost a customer. I also checked out Not Your Average Joe's. Their gluten-free menu does not include proper vegetarian meals. Another one...

    I've had better luck with Mexican than Chinese places. QDoba and Chipotle are good. There are a couple of independent Mexican sit down places I've had good luck in, one in Gloucester MA and the other in Providence, RI. Unfortunately, I can't trust the gazillion of them in my own neighborhood because they're too authentic and speak little English. I also don...

    I grew up in Wayne, in North Jersey and although I don't live there anymore, I'm down there often enough to make checking this thread worthwhile. I hope to learn where to go for a good meal next time I'm there! Last time, I went to a pizza place with lots of gluten-free options on Allen St. in the L.E.S. (not in NJ).

    I was vegetarian for eighteen years before being forced to go gluten-free. I was lactose intolerant for about ten years. Even with my further restrictions, I can't bring myself to eat meat. The funny thing is, people look at me more strangely for the wheat that I can't have than for the meat I choose not to.

    It's funny, but I was buying SAN-J Tamari wheat free soy sauce since before even the thought of having a gluten intolerance entered my mind. I came to a conclusion on my own, accurate or not, that they must put wheat in the cheap soy sauce, since it's just supposed to be soy sauce. I just wanted to buy the good stuff. I've had good luck at Asian restaurants...

    Sean, I see you are in NYC. A lot of places there carry Bard's beer as well. It's a little heavier and more of a "micro-brew" gluten-free beer. I was a bit of a beer snob before this issue and I find it hilarious that Redbridge is better than regular Bud.

    I had them for the first time today and rather like them. But, I purchased mine in Massachusetts, so I guess I'm ok.

    This is all great advice for people who carry bags and women with purses. I never got into the man-purse thing, though. I don't mind carrying a bag around some of the time, but there are times when I'd absolutely hate it. The sort of solution I'm looking for is one in which I can pop into a place, like a convenience store or pizza shop, and grab a...

    I'll be excited when there are vegetarian gluten-free burgers and dogs. I'm happy about places with gluten-free pasta, though.

    They have a great neighborhood association and they've done a really good job cleaning up and beautifying the pond. I'm glad you found the site useful!

    Thanks, Gemini! You may want to check out Open Original Shared Link and Open Original Shared Link . Both are sites I maintain (or try to). I'm looking for content contributors, writers for the first site.. -Seth

    You might have to look out for places where people have spilled their beer, or places that don't wash their glasses, but otherwise, I think you're ok. Unless, you're talking about bars that serve food. Most American pubs can't even do vegetarian right and don't have separate anything.

    I'm 34, gluten free maybe four months now, and still trying to work on that. My last all-night bender in NYC was the first one I couldn't drink beer on. That was hard enough. I've been getting into bourbons, but it's not the same as a good beer. We always eat dinner somewhere first, then hit up a diner around 4am. I have to order eggs without anything else...

    I live just north of Boston and turned down going there because I don't think it's right to charge a whole $4 more for gluten-free versions of food they charge quite a lot for in the first place. I can understand a dollar, maybe two dollars more, because of the higher cost of ingredients and extra, separate cookware. But, I think they're price-gouging. They...

    Good luck. I'm thinking about switching doctors after my experience. She said my test came back negative and that I can go back to eating wheat, then I did, and it wasn't pleasant. What she didn't tell me was that being gluten free a while before the test would screw up the results. I don't even think she knew that. She was even more concerned about testing...

    Gemini, I've been meaning to try Elephant Walk even before developing a gluten sensitivity. I'll have to get to one of their locations real soon. I've actually been working with a group of residents in Downtown Lynn to help revitalize the area and get people to enjoy our local restaurants, such as The Blue Ox, Tatiana's, Pho Lynn, Capital Diner.. but...

    Thanks! But, what exactly is a dining card? There is an Indian place in Salem, MA. that I love. I just have to order very carefully. I agree that building a relationship is important, but I take road trips a lot, and that was hard enough just being vegetarian. You should have seen what excuses for meals I had to have while on the road in the Maine logging...

    After eighteen years of strict vegetarianism (by choice), I can't get myself to go back to meat, nor do I really want to. I've been saddened to see gluten-free menus looking more like they were developed for Atkin's dieters, with nothing I can have but salad. I live in an area North of Boston that hasn't even been friendly for vegetarians, though Boston...

    Thank you for this helpful list! I went to Uno's in Swampscott Ma. this past Sunday and the hostess said, "You're not going to believe this, but we ran out of gluten free pizza." I wish most of those gluten-free establishments also had gluten-free vegetarian options. I was vegetarian 18 yrs before being diagnosed. I can't get myself to go back to meat...
