Chianti Cafe Beverly Ma

I had dinner last night with my sister in law at Chianti on Cabot St in Beverly MA and it was FANTASTIC. I called ahead and spoke to the owner Richard who told me that there were several gluten-free options on the menu, but that they also make zucchilini which is a pasta made from pure zucchini. He told me he'd let me try some even if I decided to order something else. There were so many gluten free options on the menu I didn't know what to do with myself. I had the vegetable risooto (delicious!) and the promised side of zucchilini- both were amazing....for dessert I had mango and apricot champagne sorbets.

It was so good and no reaction. he came out and talked to us for about 15 minutes. He was very sweet and excited that we were eating there as i'm celiac and my sil is vegetarian. He's planning on expnading the restaurant in the spring and adding more gluten-free and vegetarian options.

5 stars in my book. I wish I had four hands to give this place more thumbs up!

Excellent! By coincidence we have a Chianti Cafe here (completely unrelated, I'm sure, as Boston is a bit out of the way of Calgary) and we love it there. Ty always tells the server he wants "the usual". Then he has to explain that the usual is Fettucini Alfredo. Then we have to prompt him - what kind of Fettucini Alfredo? Oh yeah. Gluten Free. They use rice vermicelli noodles, but have told us they'll cook our noodles if we bring some in.

Oops. Just read that you said Beverly, MA. Beverly of Beverly. (My twins name is Beverly, but we call her Bev.)

No way! A twin named Bev! I NEVER meet people with my name! Cool.

Actually, she was named after a man. :ph34r:

My parents had wanted a boy, and ended up with two girls :o . I'm the second born twin and was completely unexpected. My parents told the fellow they were going to name their first born after that they couldn't because it was a girl. He said that his middle name was Beverly, and they were welcome to it if they liked it. Meanwhile, they had no name for me, so I was named after my father's favourite blind mining pony from when he worked in a coal mine on Cape Breton Island. :blink:

They did have a boy many years later.

OK- now that is HILARIOUS because I've always said that my name sounded like a burly, gruff weight lifting woman. "Hey Bev, can you bench press 300 yet". The only famous Bevs I know are weight lifters, 300 lbs opera singers. I like Beverly better anyway. It sounds a little more feminine. :P

So you were named after a blind mining pony in Cape Breton?Wow! Life is weird. Now, I'm Beverly in Beverly :ph34r:

      The form of the magnesium is important. Go for one that has high absorbability. Most of us opt for magnesium glycinate. Mag citrate is also good. Don't settle for the oxide forms. They aren't absorbed well and tend to have a laxative effect 'cause they just draw water into the colon a' la Milk of Magnesia. Costco is a good place to shop for things like that...

      Worsening oral health with celiac

      It doesn’t specify if it’s TTG I’m not sure how to tell for that. That would be so sad. We never eat out I try to be so strict. Yes many dental products have gluten! I only use ones that don’t on myself. No follow up procedure has been done for healing. That is something I will ask about. Thank you for the suggestion. I don’t take any ...

      Worsening oral health with celiac

      Is that TTG-IGA that is slightly elevated? That could indicate you are still getting some gluten in your diet. That should be within normal range I would think if you were truly gluten free. As a dental professional have you looked into the issue of gluten in the products they use in your profession? There are threads on this forum and also articles I think...

      Worsening oral health with celiac

      I’ve had GI issues since I was a baby! They never did any testing and always said diet issues and constipation. Things got a lot worse when I hit 25, eventually got a diagnosis and I am currently 29. Yes, just recently saw my GI doctor in January and things looked pretty good. Very slightly elevated IgA but IgG was good. My ionized calcium is elevated t...

      Worsening oral health with celiac

      Do you have any sense of how long before your diagnosis the onset of your celiac disease may have been? For most of us, there are years that pass between the onset and finally getting a diagnosis and by that time damage has already been done to body systems. May we ask your age? Also, have you had any follow-up testing since diagnosis to check for celiac...

      The form of the magnesium is important. Go for one that has high absorbability. Most of us opt for magnesium glycinate. Mag citrate is also good. Don't settle for the oxide forms. They aren't absorbed well and tend to have a laxative effect 'cause they just draw water into the colon a' la Milk of Magnesia. Costco is a good place to shop for things like that. Also, good bone and dental health involves vitamin D. Are you taking a dedicated D3 supplement? Have you had your D levels checked? In many ways, vitamin D is turning out to be a master vitamin of human metabolism and celiacs are often low on this one. What was the numerical score on your IGA along with the reference range? I can probably tell you whether it was TTG-IGA by the magnitude of the score. The only other likely option besides TTG-IGA would be Total IGA which usually has scores that range in the hundreds.  I do think it important for you to get a follow-up endoscopy/biopsy to check for healing of the villi. If that isn't happening like it should, you still are not absorbing nutrients well and that could easily explain your dental issues.

As a dental professional have you looked into the issue of gluten in the products they use in your profession? There are threads on this forum and also articles I think dealing with that issue. Have you had a follow-up endoscopy to check for healing of the small bowel villi? Also, are you taking any magnesium supplements for bone and dental health? Very important. It works together with calcium.
