So I ran into someone today who has a family member with celiac disease and we started talking about places to eat. To make a long story short, she highly recommended a couple of places and I thought I'd share.

 

Burton's Grill in South Windsor  Open Original Shared Link

I am told that they have a dedicated grill/kitchen area.

 

Dee's One Smart Cookie in Glastonbury  Open Original Shared Link

According to their site... "Dee's One Smart Cookie is the only non-GMO bakery in New England that is devoted 100% to the production of gluten free, dairy free, tree nut free, peanut free and soy free products!

They also have a Thanksgiving menu if you are local! Open Original Shared Link

 

If anyone has any place to recommend in CT, I'd love to here from you.

Indeed! There's the Engine 6 Pizza company in Norwich, never gotten sick there.

They do calzones, pizza, breadsticks, nothing fried.

 

There's Elizabeth's in Rocky Hill, they serve fresh tapioca cheese rolls and can make

almost anything on the menu gluten free. It's an Italian/Portuguese place, large portions

with rich heavy sauces, gluten free pasta.

 

Shoreline Diner in Guilford, SWEET POTATO FRIES! Plus really good sandwiches

and gluten free breakfast foods, the regular french fries are somewhat lackluster in

my opinion.

 

Cafe on Broadway in North Haven, breakfast/lunch place. Over half the kitchen is

dedicated gluten free, pancakes, sandwiches, fries, baked goods occasionally.

 

The Home Restaurant in Branford. Best french fries ever, served with special house

made dipping sauces. Pasta, fancy meat preparations, decent burgers, onion rings-

woot! Very tasty food, though a bit pricey.

 

I second the recommendation for Burton's. They are truly fantastic. Dee's is a nice

bakery too, although oddly I very much disliked their actual sandwich bread when I

tried it, which to be fair was a few years ago now.

I used to eat at Engine 6 when I worked in Norwich. That was before gluten-free. As a matter of fact, when I was a kid my Grandma lived about two blocks from there. (Now, which emoticon do I use to indicate nostalgia?)

I am newly diagnosed this week 11/27 so I have to start building my library. On the day of diagnosis I was starving and about to do the Thanksgiving food shopping. I was by the West Farms Mall where there is an Olive Garden and a Red Robin. Olive Garden's menu says it has pasta and red marinara sauce. I am avoiding this now due to acid issues, so I went to Red Robin. They have a gluten-free menu which they update monthly at each location. I opted for sweet potato fries and a burger no bun. They do have a gluten-free bun but I have never liked buns !  They told me that the fryer is dedicated for just the gluten free items.I did eat quite I bit. I am still not feeling well since my endoscopy 11/13 and have issues with feeling ill if I eat a large enough volume of food, so I cant comment on any cross contamination issues, but the waitress was very nice and went over all the choices.

      dermatitis herpetiformis with all grains

      By Richardo · Posted

      I've never had problems with quinoa but I always rinse it well before cooking in case it's processed with other grains. I think quinoa is classified as a seed. I can't eat grains at all but I can eat all seeds. Ain't the human body a pandora's box of surprises???

      How to navigate living with dermatitis herpetiformis

      By Morgan Tiernan · Posted

      Hi there! I’m new here and very grateful to any information that can be provided on the topic of Dermatitis Herpetiformis. I’m 22 years of age and have been struggling with this rash since the age of 19. We’re pretty sure it was brought on after having Covid (which resulted in shingles on my backside and strep a year or so later ) I struggle with intense itching and burning which often cannot be reached by a scratch. A find myself applying pressure on the skin in the early stages of it developing. Once it surfaces, small fluid filled blisters can be seen, most often on my chest, back, forearms and forehead (but has sometimes been in more places). We have only recently discovered its link to eating gluten, however getting doctors to listen to me has been a real struggle. They refused to test me for coeliac and offered me no follow up information or care plan, leaving me with no choice but to follow a gluten free diet off my own whim. The rash instantly improved in a couple of days, but of course I now struggle to be tested appropriately without having to go back to eating the dreaded stuff. Anytime I reintroduce it I become so unwell with dermatitis herpetiformis and tiredness. I am also struggling with outbreaks in between taking oral steroids to treat a flare up after being glutened (steroids provided by my private dermatologist thank goodness for him!) We’re now in the process of waiting for a skin biopsy, but I’m finding the outbreaks in between difficult to manage. I enjoy going to the gym but also dance competitively. Sweat seems just to irritate like nothing else. dermatitis herpetiformis has got in the way of so many aspects of my life already and I’m struggling now to navigate it affecting me doing the things I enjoy.  I’m after some advice from anyone who can relate or has experience of similar issues. I struggle to get this information from health care professionals so would love any advice or support from anyone if possible.  Thank you so much for your time

      Can food allergies like milk and soy flatten villi?

      By Matt13 · Posted

      Hi knitty kitty, Scott and all, Thanks for kind words and asking!I will def. talk about histamine intolerance  on my next visit to gastro doc. My doc.gastro says that lactose or casein is very unlikely to create marsh 3b histology like gluten in adults in intestines. (that was previous question for Scott) Regarding my last EGD the villy was OK so refractory is out of the question based on my talk with dr. If Scott is right and there are so many intolerance in food for celiac what is left to eat?? And now histamine? I mean what should i eat? Maybe gastritis is doing all this trouble? Thanks Kind regard

      dermatitis herpetiformis with all grains

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      @Richardo, I'm in the same boat as you! I can't handle certified gluten free oats at all. Quinoa is the worst, even when I soak it in water and then wash under the tap for 10 minutes ... I have a reaction. It must be an immune system reaction to the proteins in these gluten-free grains.

      dermatitis herpetiformis with all grains

      By trents · Posted

      We are all different and our immune systems are unique. I will say, however, that I have not gotten the impression as a moderator and reading hundreds and hundreds of posts on this forum over the years that a dermatitis herpetiformis outbreak caused by grains other than wheat, barley and rye is common. But perhaps it is more common than we have realized and it could be why it it is seems to be common that those who suffer from dermatitis herpetiformis struggle to keep it under control. Perhaps there are qualities found in all cereal grains besides gluten that are contributing factors. Also, have you tried a low iodine diet to see if it helps with your dermatitis herpetiformis? Reportedly, reducing iodine helps some folks afflicted with dermatitis herpetiformis.
