Anyone Familiar With Portland, Me?

Does anyone know of any restaurants that can prepare gluten free food in the Portland area? I'm traveling there in October. I'll have a kitchen and I'll probably prepare most of my own meals. But what's a vacation without a few dinners out, right?

Thanks!

Portland is my city! I have not yet ventured into gluten-free dining, though, as I am still a bit symptomatic and TERRIFIED of getting glutened! But there are so many great restaurants- check out the Old Port, Exchange St. in particular, for many great choices. Also, David's on Congress street seems progressive so perhaps aware of the gluten thing? If you travel through Wells, Me. on your way up to Portland, (which you will if you come in on 95), there is a FABULOUS restaurant about a mile and a half off the highway called Joshua's. They WILL cater to gluten-free diners. (friends own this) ALL organic, fresh food grown in their gardens and absolutely DELICIOUS! Gorgeous setting as well. If you call ahead, Barbara will let you know gluten-free items. The brochette (beef) is exquisite. Have a great time in Maine!

Thanks for the tip, Lisa! Mom lives in the area, so next time I drive up, I will have to try Joshua's.

I have had very good experiences at Salt Water Grill on Front Street. I'd consider it a Nice Occasion Place.

Thanks for the tip about the Salt Water Grill! I'm just seeing this so you probably won't see my thank you!

      My Adult daughter is blaming me for her "possible" Celiac disease.

      By cristiana · Posted

      You are most welcome, Marie.  Thank you for getting in touch, because this sort of post will be seen by other parents who find themselves in this position, I am sure there are many.   And as I say, in the long run, I am sure your daughter will be sorry for what she said.  I remember having a go at my dear Mum when I was in my twenties about something and then apologising, saying, "I don't know how you put up with me."  I can't remember her exact words but it was something along the lines of, "I used to say things like to my Mum.  Now it's my turn [to be on the receiving end]!"    😂  Although it isn't very nice to be on the receiving end, it is good your daughter feels safe to say these things to you. We look forward to hearing from you again in due course.

      Not sure if this is Celiac or just a gluten-free intolerance

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Are You Confused About Your Celiac Disease Lab Results? Some people test negative but have a positive biopsy, others test positive but negative biopsy.  This is why it can take years and misdiagnosis of other diseases that Celiac Disease can mimic. The above link is a good read with real life examples. Something I find interesting is that in 1980 or so a new diagnosis was created, Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity, only 10 years after Norman Borlaug won the Nobel Peace Prize for creating our modern wheat and the Green Revolution.

      Trader Joe's strikes again

      By trents · Posted

      @Steve-n-Portland, there is a difference in the requirements to use the label "Gluten Free" and the label "Certified Gluten Free". "Gluten Free" is governed by FDA regulations and has a ceiling of 20 ppm. "Certified Gluten Free" is a labeling convention used by the GFCO, an independent international third party certifying group that uses 10 ppm as its standard.

      Trader Joe's strikes again

      We have had numerous reports from forum participants experiencing gluten reactions from Trader Joe "gluten-free" products. It seems it's not a good place for the celiac/gluten sensitive community to shop.

      Trader Joe's strikes again

      Also, a class action lawsuit was launched in 2024 against Trader Joe's re: their " gluten free" everything bagels. They tested at 269ppm. (Personally, I am not sure they will win. The FDA says that the *ingredients* have to be less than 20ppm for a company to label something "gluten-free."  In order to be certified as gluten-free by the GFCO, the *final product* needs to be less than 20ppm. That said, the lawsuit is arguing that most people read that label and assume the final product is safe for people with celiac. Thus, many people were made sick. And being sick can have costly consequences in regard to work or school, depending when one becomes ill.)
