    I go up to Albany about once a month for business, but I have not explored the area that much. The 2 places that seem to be safe that I go to are the Butcher Block--off Central Ave. exit 2W off Northway and Colorado Mine Co. Steakhouse in Colonie 1 mile down from the Butcher Block. There is also a Bugaboo Creek Steakhouse at the Crossgates Mall. I have...

    I could definitely be down for a local celiac get together. I live in Orange County, but don't mind driving all over b/c I do that for work anyway. Let's get something going...

    Hey fellow 20+ yr olds! I am 23 and trying to stay young for a while. I don't know about the other celiacs out there, but when I hear that others are not only gluten limited, but rice, potato, etc, it really puts my gluten intolerance in perspective. It is so easy to get caught up in this disease and feel bad for yourself (I felt this way after being...

    ARCHIVED Doctor's In Orange County, Ny

    LqrMan replied to a topic in Doctors

    Welcome! I live in Orange County too...now in New Windsor. I have been going to Dr. Alan Plumer for a little over 6 yrs now. He was the one that diagnosed me and he knew I had Celiac the moment I stepped into his office! He is a great guy as well. I think he is only in the Middletown office currently. Here is his number and good luck! 845-703-8806

    I started drinking Southern Comfort recently as well! Since I sell/represent SoCo, I really wanted to promote my own product, so I inquired with the higher-ups in the company. I got an email back making sure I wasn't a mad scientist trying to recreate the recipe for SoCo. My boss covered for me and they said there is no wheat, rye, oats, or barley in SoCo...

    Thanks! I think that they would most likely be able to accomodate a gluten & dairy free diet. If you think about it, most of the food I ate had very little to no dairy in it. I actually met a woman on the cruise that was lactose intolerant and has to eat small meals spaced out in certain increments or else she gets sick. I think she said she had IBS...

    Yes, I'm back! I had an INCREDIBLE time on my cruise and am slowly getting back into being home. Royal Caribbean did a great job as far as the food goes. As soon as my family and I got onboard we met with the Maitre D. He let his Head waiter in the main dining room know about my allergy (there was another woman that had celiac the week before as...

    I love going on cruises...they are so much fun! I think this will be my 4th cruise since going gluten free. This cruise is on Royal Caribbean and we(my family and I)are going to St. Maarten, St. Lucia, St. Thomas, Antigua, & Barbados! One of the best parts about cruising is the delicious food they prepare. We have contacted the special needs/diet...

    ARCHIVED Wendy's

    LqrMan replied to BamBam's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    I just ate some Wendy's today...was on the run and did not have time to eat a "real" meal. Had a double with cheese in a "boat", side salad with ranch dressing, and a baked potato with butter. Wendys employees are getting better at understanding that the meat just needs to be put in a container and not touch bread. I am sure they get many requests for...

    You seem like a fun/interesting woman, so it is too bad you live across the country. I am always looking for down to earth people (with a sense of humor) to hang out with. Also, I am not too happy with most of the women my age (approx. 23 yrs old) because they usually do not know what they want. Good luck in your search!

    I went on a Carnival cruise last year out of Puerto Rico. Just make sure you contact the company prior to your cruise because they have a special needs person that will deal with food allergies and stuff. Then, when my family and I got on the ship, we immediately met with the Maitre D so that he knew how important it was for me to have gluten free meals...

    Hey Virginia! Sorry to hear you went all the way to Chester only to find out the bakery isn't open! Good to know it will open the 23rd though. Open Original Shared Link is the website... How old are you and what do you do for a living?

    You might want to consider stopping over at Foods by George while you are in NJ! They are located in Mahwah which is northern NJ close to the NY border. It is probably around an hour or so away and you can purchase lasagnas and pizzas made by hand in their small factory. I think the website is www.foodsbygeorge.com.

    Glad you liked my insights! If nothing else, at least celiac has provided us with a sense of humor.
  15. LqrMan
    It would help if you listed exactly what foods you ate. Could be the rice, could be something fried... I think I said in another thread: avoid mexican dishes that are deep fat fried with other gluten containing products and opt for the pan fried ones--less chance of contamination. The seasoning in the rice could have been bad too?

    ARCHIVED Friendly's

    LqrMan replied to Kenster61's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    I think everyone's bodies are different with how long it takes to get a reaction. On a side note, I remember eating at an Applebees 5 yrs ago for my bday. My parents took me out and I had a tough time finding something to eat there. Apparently they get meat that is already pre-flavored containing gluten. Now, this was yrs ago and in Rhode Island, I...

    Hey all...thanks for the replies! I guess our bodies are quite amazing if they are able to still grow with health problems. We are quite the diverse group of celiacs! My goal growing up was to be taller than my father and be 6'1'' but then I said the heck with that, might as well be 6'2''. I have size 12/13 feet too...

    If I eat Mexican food out at a restaurant, I make sure they do not deep fat fry my food with all the other breaded products. I will only eat it if it is pan fried! I would watch out for cross contamination if I were you. Also, you really have to be aware of what thickening agents are used in the sauces! Usually it is a wheat flour and sometimes the chef...

    ARCHIVED Friendly's

    LqrMan replied to Kenster61's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    I have eaten at Friendly's a few times since being diagnosed. I have also had the vanilla and the black raspberry ice cream 2 times. I really love the black ras and it did NOT give me any problems. Keep in mind I do not have DH though... Sure you were not contaminated somewhere else? Could be cross contamination as was just mentioned as well. Sorry to...

    I posted a thread in another section about other tall celiacs, but I am glad to have found this post. I am 6'2'' and the tallest in my family! My dad is 6' and mom is 5'6''. Even when I probably had celiac (it slowed down my puberty) I was still growing somewhat, then I shot up even though I was malnourished/anemic! I was 5'10'' at 17 just before graduating...

    A lot of this list sounds like me too! I must say, the celiac members on here have no shame in talking about their bowel movements!! I've got some possible additions to the list... -You bring your own gluten free bread or muffins with you when you eat out. -(To add to the bowel movement comments) You could probably set the world record for most trips...

    I couldn't find the best place to make this topic, so I put it into the health section. I am 6'2'' and remarkably continued to grow even though I was malnourished/anemic/had osteoperosis before being diagnosed with celiac disease! I was just wondering if there are any other tall celiacs that can relate because I always thought celiac could stunt your growth...

    ARCHIVED Weight Gain

    LqrMan replied to a topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    When I was diagnosed with celiac 6 yrs ago, I was 17 and 5'10'' tall, but weighed a measely 121 lbs (that was my lowest). Throughout my life, I was always thin and had the most difficult time gaining weight. It was amazing that I actually grew so tall as now I am 6'2'' (everyone keeps saying I look taller every time I see them) and weigh around 180-185lbs...
  24. LqrMan
    Since no one mentioned it yet, Friendly's makes good ice creams as well and they are cheaper than others out there. I prefer the (Black) Raspberry, it's awesome!

    Thanks for the info Tiffany. You are correct about distillation, however, fermentation is the key to the production of alcohol. All alcoholic beverages must be fermented. After fermentation has taken place, then distillation is next.
