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.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Theresa2407 · Posted

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Possible celiac - need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Celiac or not??

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.
