Since it sounds like you will be in New York for 2 meals, it would be reasonable to eat at least one of those meals at a gluten-free friendly restaurant. Your friend may not be used to the idea of you needing to be gluten free. For some of my family (like my in-laws) it took a long time for them to adjust to the idea of choosing a restaurant based on this...

I use Nars. Like it a lot

Just an FYI, I believe Good Seasons changed their formulation, and I am not sure exactly when. I do not believe this product used to have wheat in it but it does now. So for anyone who has been routinely using this and thus stopped looking at the label, it is no longer gluten free.

I think gastroenterologists feel differently about this and most do not necessarily request another scope and biopsy, especially if the antibody levels are falling or test negative. I did get rescoped at a year (my request) and although I wasn't completely healed I went from Marsh 3-c to Marsh I-II. I also did not get symptoms prior to diagnosis but I sure...

i was a pizza snob before celiac and certainly no pizza i have ever come across since gluten free has even come close to the awesomeness of a thin crusted pizza. Although I still eat gluten free pizza it is not the same experience.

I have been searching for a good bagel since being diagnosed with Celiac and they all have been very disappointing. I had given up until a local bagel store began carrying bagels from Sweet Note Bakery. These taste like a bagel!! A little bit dense but this bakery nailed the taste. On the Sweet Note website, they will list locations that carry their bagels...

NARS is a full line of makeup, all of it gluten free. Sold at some department stores and some specialty makeup stores like MAC

Depending on where you live there may be better options or depending on how much you are willing to spend. I also am not a fan of Udi's so much, it does the job. Schar is vaccuum packed and not frozen when you buy it and I like their "sandwich bread" (not a full replacement for rye bread but good for deli sandwiches). I think their hotdog buns are slightly...

Looked all of these up, thank you for the great tips. Will make it a little easier to eat out.

Appreciate everyone's suggestions. Thank you!

I will be camping (well, a cabin in a campground) in Watkin's Glen, NY this summer for about 5 days. We will probably bring a lot of food and not eat a lot of meals in restaurants but just thought I would see if anyone knows of some safe places to eat? They should be somewhat family friendly ( I have 2 tweens who so far do not have celiac thankfully). And...

I would love an update about gluten free in Israel after everyone's trip. Any tips? Special restaurants not to go to or make sure I get to?

Unfortunately they closed on May 7th. And even more unfortunately they closed their Ocean City,NJ location (it was great to have gluten free option on the boardwalk).

Udi's recently came out with a new bagel called Mighty Bagel. I thought it was really good. Of course the texture not quite the same as the gltuen counterpart but taste was really good. It contains 8 grams protein and 3 grams of fiber too.

I have IgA deficiency. In general population, the prevalence is about 1/500 however in celiacs there is a much higher prevalence. For a lot of labs, they automatically check your serum total IgA levels if the tTG IgA is negative to make sure it isn't a false negative. If Total serum IgA is low or absent, they automatically run a tTG IgG. I happened to...
