Thanks to mamma goose,

Tried RiRa's in Portland (next to the ferry terminal), and it's hard to say which was more fantastic, the food or the staff, and the view wasn't half bad. My 10 year old and wife each had pan seared duck in a dried cranberry glaze, I had proscutto (sp?) wrapped halibut. Also offered gluten-free was a salmon and seafood sauce, and a vegetarian grilled polenta, s$#&aki mushroom dish along with the usual steaks. They are happy to accomodate you and well trained. This is the first 'real' restaurant we've been to in years, and will definately return.

Also noticed a flatbread pizza next to RiRa's, the one in Portsmouth offers a gluten-free pizza if you can believe it, and the Portsmouth staff is well versed with the gluten-free issue, maybe give Portland's store a quick call to see if they offer the same.

I was drooling at your menu description. I'm glad you have a wonderful "event".

I must admit the best restaurant in Maine is about 20 minutes north of Portland in Freeport. Haraseekett Lunch and Lobster is the best. Open seasonally, you dine on picnic tables and watch the lobstermen work and the seals play.

I have no financial intererst in this restaurant, but I feel that I have over the many, many years that my family and I have enjoyed it. :P

I'd suggest a couple of other places to try. In South Portland, try Fresh!. This is a small, intimate resturant that specializes in all fresh ingredients. They're happy to modify any recipes to accomodate a gluten-free diet. Tonight I had their grilled chicken over mashed potatoes with a pineapple salsa and side salad. Delicious!

You can also try David's in South Portland on Cottage Road, they're very accomodating. And Flatbread in Old Port offers a Gluten Free crust that they can make with any of their usual toppings.

      High blood test numbers - with scales. Any advice?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @RMJ, you have multiple positive tests so celiac disease is likely.  This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease.

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By trents · Posted

      One small study found that 50% of celiacs react to the dairy protein "casein" like they do to gluten. It is also common for celiacs to be lactose (the sugar in milk) intolerant, though that often disappears in time as the villi heal. About 10% of celiacs react to the oat protein "avenin" like they do gluten.

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By K6315 · Posted

      Thank you so much Trents (Scott?)! I have started working with a dietitian and did a deep research dive as soon as I got the diagnosis. I am aware of what you mentioned in the first two paragraphs, and was not aware of anything in the third, so I am grateful for that information, and will talk to the dietitian about that. I think I was most interested in the withdrawal process - it gives me hope that, although I have felt unwell recently, I just need to be patient (not a strong suit). I have printed the article you sent and will look at it more closely. Thanks again!

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @K6315! Gluten withdrawal typically lasts for a period of a few weeks. But there is a real learning curve involved in actually attaining to a gluten free dietary state. Much more is involved than just cutting out major sources of gluten such as bread and pasta. It's all the places that gluten is hidden in the food supply that is difficult to ferret out, like soy sauce and canned tomato soup, canned chili and canned pork n' beans, some "lite" pancake syrups, potato salad, flavorings, etc., etc. Gluten-containing grain products are hidden through alternate terminology and found in places you would never expect.  There is also "cross contamination" where naturally gluten free foods come into contact with gluten-containing grains during farming, transportation, storage and manufacturing processes. Then there is the issue of "cross reactivity" whereby you may be having gluten-like reaction to food proteins whose structure is similar to gluten. Chief among these are dairy, oats (even gluten-free oats), soy, corn and eggs. I am including this article that you might find helpful:
