My father and I work for the same college in Riverdale, NY and my father has Celiac disease. I usually like to go to lunch with my father when I can and lately we've been finding it difficult. Does anyone know of any restaurants that cater to celiacs/gluten-free foods in Riverdale,NY (or the Bronx)?

I don't know about in Riverdale but I have eaten successfully at one of the restaurants on City Island. The waiter was completely confused and I was a bit nervous because he definately seemed to be having trouble with the concept of what I could and couldn't have but he was extremely nice and really willing to help. In the end I had a delicious meal and no reaction. :)

I forget which restaurant it was now. I want to say it was something, Seashore.

This doesn't help you for lunch, but maybe you guys can go to City Island for dinner one night.

Thank you, even though it doesn't help for lunch you're right it does help for dinner. We're always looking for places around that we can go to...so thank you, your suggestion did help.

Thank you, I'll be sure to tell my dad and check it out this week. I've been meaning to pick him up a guide because in the long wrong I think that might be better for him..do you find the restaurant guide helpful?

Yes, It is very helpful. It has also helped me when I went on vacation. I just went to Amazon and bought the cheapest copy. I think it's def. worth it.

      Mark, do you have suggestions as to celiac centers that could be helpful? Oklahoma/Texas neurologists have only offered me the “eat gluten free” advice and then when I ask about the hands or muscle twitching they said they just don’t know. I appreciate your great information on supplements, thank you for your help!  Scott, do you have suggestions as to celiac centers that could be helpful?

      Neurologic symptoms - Muscle Twitching and Hand Tremors

      It sounds like you’ve been through a challenging journey since your celiac diagnosis, especially with the unexpected neurologic symptoms like muscle twitching and hand tremors. While celiac disease is primarily known for gastrointestinal issues, it’s important to recognize that it can also manifest in non-GI ways, including neurological symptoms. Research has shown that celiac disease can sometimes be linked to conditions like gluten ataxia, peripheral neuropathy, or even myoclonus (involuntary muscle twitching), which might explain what you’re experiencing. The fact that your symptoms have fluctuated with dietary changes suggests a possible connection, even if it’s not yet fully understood by your local neurologists. It might be worth seeking out a specialist who has experience with celiac-related neurological issues or consulting with a celiac-focused research center. In the meantime, staying strict with your gluten-free diet is a good step, as even small amounts of gluten can trigger immune responses that may contribute to these symptoms. You’re not alone in this—many with celiac report similar struggles, and connecting with online communities or support groups could provide additional insights and reassurance. The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.

      Neurologic symptoms - Muscle Twitching and Hand Tremors

      I was initially diagnosed with celiac in June 2024. I had no G.I. issues but got chest and pelvic pain. I changed my diet – although I was not great at watching cross-contamination – and had no problems until the end of October 2024 when I started getting headaches. At the end of December 2024 the headaches ended but I started having twitching throughout my body. Not long-term twitching just a fast burst twitch. In addition, I had tremors start in both of my hands. Sometimes it is stronger in one hand than the other and sometimes it seems to die off and then comes back. This has gone on for two months and the twitching has gradually lessened although sometimes it comes back with a vengeance. I have been really strict about  my diet and cross contamination so I feel these symptoms are related to my celiac disease although I’m not certain and I’m unsure that the strict diet is what has helped. I’ve been tested for everything -  MS, lupus, ALS and a variety of other things which were all negative. I can only relate these symptoms to my celiac but no neurologist in my area seems to know anything about celiac causing anything other than gastric issues. I’m so frustrated and just looking for others that have had similar symptoms and doctors that are more knowledgeable about celiac and neuro issues. Thank you!

      I can't tell yet because it's only been a few days and the issue occurs every 2/3 months!
