Risotteria

Sorry if this has already been posted, i was away this weekend, but i just read that Risotteria was shut down by the health department??? Does anyone know what's going on? I was there the other day and had a great meal, as always...but that area apparently is getting slammed by the health department ever since the taco bell rat fiasco a few weeks ago. I just heard that John's (the pizza place) and Risotteria were shut down temporarily. I hope they figure it all out soon, i cant live without my risotto!!!

On a more positive note, has anyone been there on a Thursday lately? Apparently on thursdays they have sicilian pizza and eggplant parmesan! I cant wait to go!!! (assuming they work out their issues with the DOH) :unsure:

NOOOOOOOOO!!!! Well the good new is it's temporary. It's down the block from the Taco Bell/KFC, so apparently they are basically shutting down nearly every restaturant down there.

I found a bunch of articles and blogs on it but this one was almost kinda funny.

Thanks for letting us know Stef. And thank G-d it's only temporary.

That's great news, i dont think i could deal with it closing down permanently! I love that i'm so unconcerned with the health of the restaurant itself, i just keep thinking "Please re-open - no one cares about passing inspection!" lol

LOL!! My sentiments exactly!! You should have heard me last night on the couch with Chris. I'm sitting there saying I don't care if it's dirty, they make the most incredible gluten-free pizza! The DOH is missing the point here. Hehe!!

Please keep us in the loop when it opens. We live in Toronto and Risotteria made our last visit to NY so awesome, we're planning another visit.

      Kroeger has quite a few Gluten free items.  Right now they are redoing my Kroeger store and are adding everything into the regular sections.  Since this was done some new ones have been added.  Publix and Ingles also have great selections. I actually shop Walmart and Food City to since prices on some items vary from store to store.

      Sorry but I don't have specific recommendations for doctors, however, starting out with good multivitamins/minerals would make sense. You may want to get your doctor to screen you for where you different levels are now to help identify any that are low, but since you're newly diagnosed within the past year, supplementation is usually essential for most celiacs.

      Yes, I can imagine. My celiac journey started with a rejection of a blood donation by the Red Cross when I was 37 because of elevated liver enzymes. I wasn't a drinker and my family doctor checked me for hepatitis and I was not overweight. No answers. I thought no more about it until six years later when I landed a job in a healthcare setting where I got annual CMP screenings as part of my benefits. The liver enzymes were continually elevated and creeping up every year, though they were never super high. My primary care doc had no clue. I got really worried as your liver is pretty important. I finally made an appointment with a GI doc myself and the first thing he did was test me for celiac disease. I was positive. That was in about 1996. After going on a gluten-free diet for three months the liver enzymes were back in normal range. Another lab that had gotten out of whack that has not returned to normal is albumin/total protein which are always a little on the low side. I don't know what that's about, if it's related to the liver or something else like leaky gut syndrome. But my doctors don't seem to be worried about it. One thing to realize is that celiac disease can onset at any stage of life. There is a genetic component but there is also an epigenetic component. That is, the genetic component is not deterministic. It only provides the potential. There needs also to be some health or environmental stressor to activate the latent gene potential. About 40% of the population have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually do.

      Hello @Heather Hill You are most welcome.  As a longstanding member and now mod of the forum, I am ashamed to say I find numbers and figures very confusing, so I rarely stray into the realms of explaining markers. (I've self-diagnosed myself with dyscalculia!)  So I will leave that to @Scott Adams or another person. However as a British person myself I quite understand that the process with the NHS can take rather a long time.  But just as you made a concerted effort to eat gluten before your blood test, I'd advise doing the same with eating gluten before a biopsy, in order to show if you are reacting to gluten.  It might be worth contacting the hospital or your GPs secretary to find out if they know what the current waiting time is. Here is a page from Coeliac UK about the current NHS recommendations. https://www.coeliac.org.uk/information-and-support/coeliac-disease/getting-diagnosed/blood-tests-and-biospy/#:~:text=If you remove or reduce,least six weeks before testing.

      Thanks again. My mom was diagnosed over 50 years ago with celiac so grew up watching her deal with the challenges of food. I have been tested a few times prior due to this but these results have me a bit stunned. I have a liver disease that has advanced rapidly with no symptoms and an allergy that could be a contributing factor that had no symptoms. I guess I’ll call it lucky my Dr ordered a rescreen of a liver ultrasound from 5 years ago that triggered this or I would likely have tripped into cirrhosis. It’s all pretty jarring.
