By your screen name I assume you are in NY. There are a couple really good Italian places in the city that have gluten-free menus if he is not dead set on a particular place. Lumi is amazing, and the perfect date place. (I swear I have no affiliation with this place, but I rave about it so much I think everyone is going to start to think I do. LOL)!

If he is taking you to a particular place that he has in mind, I have ordered Chicken Marsala, but tell them not to coat the chicken in any flour. Just give you naked grilled chicken, and check that the marsala sauce is not thickened with any flour, that it is just the white wine sauce, maybe some butter, etc.

You can also do this with chicken scarpiello (sp?). Basically I find chicken dishes that are generally in a white wine or oil/garlic type sauce are easiest to adjust.

Have fun on your date!!

I just ate at a little italian place up in williamsburg-ordered scallops, shrimp, and fish in old bay, butter, white wine....delicious!

Risotto's and polenta's are usually safe - just double check with the chef to see what he uses in any sauces that may accompany the dish.

Good luck!

      Is it gluten?

      Being gluten free for two weeks prior to testing can make a difference in the test results if the score is borderline.

      Is it gluten?

      Hello, New to Celiac.com, glad I found this site. I have had a lot of GI issues most of my life. Recently my GI issues got so bad I tried a gluten free diet and made a appointment with my GI doctor. I got the Celiac disease blood test but I had been gluten free for two weeks before the test. My doctor told me being gluten free for two weeks would not...

      An early incubation and inoculation

      I forgot to add a status update on my health. I've had no issues. Been staying away from the foods I know cause GI problems: alcohol, peanuts and mayo. Stools are well-formed and of normal frequency. Consumption of gluten continues to have no effect.

      Hello, New to Celiac.com, glad I found this site. I have had a lot of GI issues most of my life. Recently my GI issues got so bad I tried a gluten free diet and made a appointment with my GI doctor. I  got the Celiac disease blood test but I  had been gluten free for two weeks before the test. My doctor told me being gluten free for two weeks would not make a difference in the test results. I am not sure I believe that.  I have been reading a lot of articles about Celiac disease and they all give the same information. My GI issues are all gone since my gluten free life started around October 16th 2024, and I  don't want to go back to eating gluten. I am nervous about going back to the doctor for my test results.
