    I happened to be VERY anemic - but my sister, who also has celiac, was never anemic. So really, it varies. I would agree with the above poster - go to a different doctor. My Gastro was the worst, he never believed I had celiac (even though my sister was already diagnosed AND I had a positive blood test) so I basically just told him to do the endo, he did...

    I just went to NEBO a couple weeks ago with a few other girls that have celiac and we had an AMAZING dinner! It was great... we had gluten-free calamari, pizza, pasta and dessert. The pizza was SO GOOD. I have been dying to go back!

    Definitely give it time - but GOOD LUCK! Hopefully this will make a difference for you.... Watch for hidden gluten (soy sauce, modified food starch, etc) & cross-contamination to make sure your experiment goes well. This is a great site for support and getting answers to questions.

    Hello! I can tell you a couple of spots when you're in downtown Boston. In Quincy Market/Faneuil Hall - there is a place called Wagamama (www.wagamama.us) They have a separate gluten free menu -- two items that are naturally gluten free, and then a list of things that can be altered to be gluten free. Also - right behind Hard Rock Boston/Faneuil Hall...

    You might want to check out Meetup.com? I think there was one in Brookline for a while. There may be a North Shore one - or you could start it. Good luck!! There are a lot of options on the North Shore!

    Hey -- just wanted to let you know I went to the Stone Hearth Pizza in Porter last week. They have gluten free beer, appetizers, pasta AND pizza. I will start off by saying - the pizza was AMAZING. Best gluten free pizza I have ever had. MUCH MUCH better than Flatbread. Our waitress though - horrific. She told us it was her second night - and she...

    Hi... just figured I'd check back in on this? mamaw --- any word on that recipe or if they're going to begin baking & selling?? I heard there was a sign up at Oxford Spa that just says "No more gluten-free products, sorry!" and I read an internet rumor that that genius woman baker was going to europe & may be starting her own line...

    Just thought I'd write again.... I've been there about 8 times since I wrote that first post - I LOVE IT!!! They really do know what they're doing there & the entire staff knows all about celiac. They all had to go through a training... an UPDATE --- they may be doing a Gluten Free cooking class in the new year!!! I will post again if it happens...

    THANKS!!!!!

    I actually called yesterday (Wednesday, Sept 10) and still no gluten free bread. It's really such a tragedy - that was the truly the best gluten-free bread ever made.

    Hey Gemini -- It's an excellent point you bring up, and I was actually thinking about it over the weekend. The next time I go I will say something to the staff, although they ARE aware, and mentioned it several times to me. I found out all of this gluten-free food started with the old general manager (who is no longer there) -- I don't think she...

    **UPDATE :: I wanted to let you all know --- I've now been to Marco TWICE, and it was amazing! They are very aware & well educated on the diet, and they even ask about allergies/food issues when you call to make reservations. The first time I went I didn't call early enough to get their gluten-free bread -- but i did last time - YUM. They order...
  13. BostonCeliac
    Very exciting... I just spoke with the people at Marco on Hanover Street in Boston's North End, and they're now serving gluten free options!!! They have 3 different kinds of gluten-free pasta, they have gluten-free flour to make fried items (although they warned me that they will use the same fryer, so for some, it may not be an option), AND - if you call...
  14. BostonCeliac
    Thanks! maybe I'll check them out tonight!!
  15. BostonCeliac
    I've been trying to get to this place, but they are only open Monday - Friday! I'm often up that way on the weekend -- do you know of any other gluten free places that are open on the weekend? I'm going up there tonight actually!
  16. BostonCeliac
    THANK YOU MAMAW!!!!! Awesome news --- I will be sure to call every so often, and perhaps I'll call attention to it on my blog! One question though.... didn't the ex-hubby sell the place to someone new? or was that false info? Thanks again!

    Hi -- I believe her daughter had celiac. I reached out to someone who (I think) knew what school she was at, but have not heard back from her. There are also quite a few private schools in Worcester.. but I won't give up, I'll report back if I find anything out.
  18. BostonCeliac
    OH NO!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is TERRIBLE news.... I'm so mad at myself for not getting over there to get one last delicious sandwich. I just had to call & confirm & it's true. The woman I spoke with said they came under new ownership... the woman who used to make the bread is a full-time chef at a school out in Worcester (and the ex-wife of the...

    Had to throw in my two cents here -- I LOVE THIS PLACE. The bread is incredible, really. I WISH they would sell it -- I actually offered to buy a loaf from them once for about $40 and they said no! Oh well - I understand that others would be missing out if I took it all Sterndogg -- any mention from them that they'd be closing? I heard some rumblings...

    I'm bummed I just saw this! I was in San Fran last week and was all over the internet looking for gluten-free places. Sadly, there were no "special" gluten-free places (ie, no gluten-free pizza, sandwiches, pasta, etc) I can find more of that type of thing here in Boston. But -- I did go to Mamacita's - and it was great! (we had a bunch of the tacos...

    Hey! I'm pretty bummed to hear that they weren't that good!! I used to LOVE cupcakes, pre-diagnosis.... it's so hard to get them to taste good. Is the icing good? Is it sugary, like home-made? I've actually had decent success myself making them at home, and it's mainly because I like making simple icing with an entire box of confectioner's sugar (!). Thanks...
  22. BostonCeliac
    HEY MamaW --- YES -- they have the most incredible gluten free bread there. THey make two kinds - onion and dill - and they almost always run out of the onion immediately, but the dill is just as good! I've come to find that non-celiacs have caught on to the gluten-free bread, so others order it! The first time I ate it I was nervous because it tasted...

    hey --- I was in Prague this past summer. SO beautiful there! It was a bit tricky -- but I found food. One strange suggestion - Chinese restaurants - they are SUPER cheap (I'm talking $4 for a meal) and I would get white rice & steamed veggies. Breakfast was the hardest part to be honest. I would try to get a piece of fruit, and I did have some gluten...

    Just wanted to let everyone know -- there is now a place to get gluten-free Cupcakes in the Boston area!! It's called Kick Ass Cupcakes -- haven't been yet, but they deliver and I'm planning on getting some ASAP! They are in Davis Square on the Redline. Anyone been? Open Original Shared Link PS -- for those in Cambridge, i'm OBSESSED with...
  25. BostonCeliac
    Thanks for the "Hot off the Press" recommendation!!! I plan on going ASAP... I miss Ruebens, wonder if I can get one there... yuuuumm. I just sent a celiac friend to Oxford Spa (STILL haven't been yet) and she said she had the best sandwich there ever! In other gluten-free restaurant news -- Went to a new place called Myers + Changs in the South End...
