Semolina's Pasta

I just got back from a divine dinner date at Semolina's, where I ate gluten free, without any trouble whatsoever.

The Rice Sticks pasta is gluten free, according to the company, and I had the best dinner. You can sub it for the pasta in any other dish, and they will go to any lengths to ensure that you do not get cross contaminated food.

The Rice Sticks pasta is not gooey or too hard, and actually picks up the flavors of your dish better than a semolina pasta. The dish it is in on the menu is Pad Thai. They use peanuts, soy products, rice, & seafood in this dish. The sauce is a sesame-ginger-lime vinaigrette, tossed with bean sprouts, shiitake mushrooms, peanuts, grilled tofu, and of course, Rice Sticks. Bring your own gluten-free soy sauce, salad dressings, and bread. The company gladly heats your bread in a convection oven, wrapped in foil or your provided oven-safe container.

Currently, there are no gluten free appetizers or desserts. If you bring your own bread, the appetizer issue is self-solved, as the appetizers are all dips of some denomination. Ask for the bread to be left out, and eat the sauce with your own for a great starter. Desserts are all gluten-laden, and must be avoided. The bar stocks several great liquors and can mix up a gluten free sweet treat for the over-21 crowd, or virgin versions for those who wish for a treat without the alcohol. Where our local Semolina's is located, it is better to go next door for a sundae or upstairs to catch the latest release in the theater with your date. Either way, Semolina's is a perfect meal for a nice night out.

You do not need to call ahead to eat safely at Semolina's, but do let your server and the chef know that you have Celiac/wheat intolerance. The manager on duty will always make the rounds, so please be sure to thank them for a great job serving our community.

Prices vary, but expect to pay about $15-20 per person. Gratuity is added for groups of 6 or more, and reservations are recommended for large groups. Locations span southeastern Louisiana.

Thanks to Semolina's Adventures in Pasta at 4436 Veterans Memorial Blvd, Metairie, Lousiana for te great service and info.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      @Scott Adams That's actually exactly what I ended up asking for— vodka tonic with Titos.  I saw on their website that Tito's is certified gluten-free (maybe many of the clear vodkas are, I don't know, I just happened to look up Tito's in advance). I should have actually specified the 'splash' though, because I think with the amount of tonic she put in there, it did still end up fairly sweet.  Anyway, I think I've almost got this drink order down!

      Be interesting to see the effects of dairy reintroduction with gluten. As well as milk protein sensitivity in and of itself the casein part particularly has been shown to mimic gluten in about 50% of celiacs. Keep us posted!

      She has been dairy free for six years, so she’d already been dairy free for two years at her last testing and was dairy free for the entire gluten challenge this year as well (that had positive results). However, now that we’re doing another biopsy in six weeks, we decided to do everything we can to try to “see” the effects, so we decided this past week to add back in dairy temporarily for breakfast (milk and cereal combo like you said).

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Gigi2025 · Posted

      Hi Christiana, Many thanks for your response.  Interestingly, I too cannot eat wheat in France without feeling effects (much less than in the US, but won't indulge nonetheless).  I also understand children are screened for celiac in Italy prior to starting their education. Wise idea as it seems my grandson has the beginning symptoms (several celiacs in his dad's family), but parents continue to think he's just being difficult.  Argh.  There's a test I took that diagnosed gluten sensitivity in 2014 via Entero Labs, and am planning on having done again.  Truth be told, I'm hoping it's the bromine/additives/preservatives as I miss breads and pastas terribly when home here in the states!  Be well and here's to our guts healing ❤️

      Lol that’s so true! Hope you get clarity, it’s tough when there’s doubt. There’s so much known about celiac disease with all the scientific research that’s been done so far yet practically and clinically there’s also so much unknown, still. Out of curiosity what’s her dairy consumption like? Even compared to early years to now? Has that changed? Calcium is dependent in the mechanism of antigen presenting cells in the gut. High calcium foods with gluten grains can initiate inflammation greater.  This is why breakfast cereals and milk combo long term can be a ticking time bomb for genetically susceptible celiacs (not a scientific statement by any means but my current personal opinion based on reasoning at present). Milk and wheat are the top culprits for food sensitivity. Especially in childhood. There are also patient cases of antibodies normalising in celiac children who had milk protein intolerance/ delayed type allergy. Some asymptomatic. There were a couple of cases of suspected celiacs that turned out to have milk protein intolerance that normalised antibodies on a gluten containing diet. Then there were others that only normalised antibodies once gluten and milk was eliminated. Milk kept the antibodies positive. Celiac disease is complicated to say the least.
