Great Special Occasion Place In Nyc

I just want to rave about the experience I had at Garden Café in Brooklyn. This is a tiny, quiet, romantic little place—maybe 8 tables—run by a couple. The only person who waited on us was the owner. They do a small menu that changes every day, with healthy, organic, local food, and they are very celiac-friendly. I lived as a celiac for several months before finding out that I just have a wheat allergy as well as several other food allergies. When I made the reservation, I told them about my diet and was assured that their food is not “wheat-centric” and they’d be happy to accommodate me. When my boyfriend and I got there (for our 8th anniversary!), the owner remembered my call and immediately pointed out the dishes I could eat (most of them). She came out of the kitchen a couple of times to get my assurance that specific ingredients were OK, and at one point she even came over to let me know that what my boyfriend was eating was also wheat-free, if I’d like to try it. The food was well thought out and incredibly delicious—since it was 20 degrees out it was mostly hearty winter food. I can’t recommend this place enough. It would cost a fortune if it was in Manhattan. It’s not cheap (at least by my low-budget standards) but the $30 prix fixe is a fantastic deal.

      Thank you for the information. I did order/receive GliadinX to have on hand in the event of suspected exposure.

      Celiac or not?

      Just had a letter through from the Celiac team, they’ve diagnosed me through my bloods, no endoscopy/biopsy needed. I guess I’ll be sticking around on this forum and I’m sure I’ll be back soon. thanks for all your help

      Less than 10 parts per billion issues

      I have no specific recommendations but I would suggest looking for products that are advertised as produced in a dedicated gluten-free facility. That should eliminate one possible route of cross contamination. It doesn't guarantee that none of the ingredients going into the product are totally gluten free but is should eliminate adding more CC to the mix via processing machinery.  One of the issues you may be experiencing is that testing has shown that a significant percentage of "Certified Gluten Free" products can test far in excess of 10ppm. There was an article appearing in this forum back last summer outlining the results of testing that showed this to be true. So, it may be somewhat of a pig in a poke when you buy this stuff, regardless of how it is billed. It may be safe for you if it actually fits within the stated requirements of it's billing.

      I can still have a reaction from “certified gluten free” products I don’t like having to use the eat and see what my body does approach are there really any purely gluten free products or do I just have to make all of my own food?
