Help!

I am new to this Celiac business. I have been Gluten-free for two and half week. My birthday is on Friday. Being Italian I usually head to the North End for lots of bread and pasta. (Yummy) I was wondering if anyone could suggest a great place for a Birthday dinner. I am also allergic to almonds!

If anyone knows of a bakery where I could purchase a gluten-free birthday please let me know.

I live in the Upper Valley, not far from Dartmouth College, but am willing to travel just about anywhere for fine dining and fun!

many thanks

Sara

Try Raffertys Pub in North Conway. Apparently the owners have a child with celiac so they have an extensive gluten-free menu. We haven't tried it yet, but the menu looks wonderful. www.raffspub.com.

I just returned from our twice yearly visits to NH, and was surprised to find out the Italian Farmhouse in Plymouth has a gluten-free menu. It's run by Alex Ray, owner of all the Common Man restaurants. He owns about 15 restaurants now. They probably all have some type of accomodations. I ate at the Common Man in Ashland last December, and they were accommodating, but didn't have a full menu to offer me.

Good luck....you have lots of options with this "chain" alone!

Do you guys know of anything near Southern Winnepausaukee? We're going there in August. We'll have a kitchen in our hotel, but it would be really nice to take my son to a restaurant that serves pasta he can eat.

Any suggestions for Southern New Hampshire would be really helpful! We're hoping to go to Storyland after we attend a wedding in August.

Thanks,

Margaret

Rafferty's in North Conway is near Storyland -- I would definitely try there. Also, fyi, Storyland has a lot of allergy info right on their website about what is in their foods.

Thanks! For some reason I had assumed that Storyland was down near Canobie Lake Park. Not sure WHY I thought that, but this will make our trip awesome. Rafferty's sounds great. This will be the first time we'll eat in a restaurant since the life changing phone call back in June.

Many thanks to all of you that have responded. I just found out that Yo Mama's in Merrimack, NH and

The Smoke House or Smoke Pit near Tamworth / Ossippee offer gluten-free menu's as well. I am not sure of the name of BQ / Smoke House restaurant, but I heard that the owner has several children with Gluten issues. They are supposed to be great and BQ chicken. Yum.

Just wanted to say that we ate at Rafferty's this June and it was fabulous --the food, the people, the food, the food, the food :) the people...... You really can't improve on ordering from a FULL menu from servers who already know everything about celiac.

      Has anyone had terrible TMJ/ Jaw Pain from undiagnosed Celiac?

      By trents · Posted

      Milaryrnn, your post is confusing. First, your celiac disease antibody testing is negative. By any chance had you already been on a gluten free diet before the blood draw for these tests was done? That would result in negative antibody testing even if you had celiac disease. Or, had you previously been diagnosed with celiac disease and had the antibody testing done to check for compliance with the gluten free diet? Second, DNA testing cannot be used to confirm celiac disease. 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop active celiac disease but only about 1% of the population actually develops active celiac disease. It takes both the genetic potential and some triggering biological stress event in order to develop active celiac disease. Otherwise, the genes remain inactive. High lipase levels would indicate some problem with your pancreas.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By More2Learn · Posted

      Thanks, yes, I've gone back and forth.  There is a lot of autoimmune disease in my family, so primarily I was thinking a real diagnosis might be helpful for other family members -- especially as I have two young biological nephews.  I feel like I am at a crossroads, where if I'm going to test now would be the time, since I've been in a less-than-perfect eating period.  I'm either going to just going to use what I've learned in these last few months to purposely never cheat again (obviously there is the accidental glutening situations) or test first, and then do that.  I don't need an official diagnosis so much that if I'm doing well I'm going to sabotage that by then starting to eat gluten again. I'm so glad you said this.  Even from what I've read so far, it makes sense to me that this is a misconception.  But growing up with all kinds of allergies, I can see how, as for the general population it's just easier for everyone to simplify it down to a type of "allergy," people would assume this.  It's just how most people look at allergies and diets and gluten avoidance has been painted as both.  I even see it in my journey to date, when I say I want a gluten free selection at a restaurant and I am asked "is it an allergy?" and it is so much easier just to say yes (even if the answer is actually well, no, it's autoimmune).  Because the "yes" answer is the "this is serious" answer.

      Has anyone had terrible TMJ/ Jaw Pain from undiagnosed Celiac?

      By Milarynn · Posted

      Hello. I recently had an endo/colonoscopy and my GI Dr found lymphocytes in my stomach and small intestine. My TTG Ab, IgA was <2 (normal), GLIADIN (DEAMINATED) IGA at 5 (negative), and IgA at 237 (normal). However, a Lipase test revealed my levels were through the roof at 201, 3x above normal. My GI doctor ordered a dna test to confirm Celiac Disease. An A1C test was also done and I am pre-diabetic. When I got home from work today, I started to feel sever cramping in my jaw muscles. I started to have jaw muscle cramps in the the last year. Not to mention, even with good oral hygiene, I have rapidly developed periodontal disease. I did have a small amount of gluten, thinking it wouldn’t harm much but I was sadly mistaken. DNA results should be back in 2 weeks.

      Hi all, I was diagnosed by blood work about 2 months ago and have since went on a strict gluten free diet. I have an endoscopy in January and the GI dr said nothing about staying on gluten for it; hes aware i went no gluten. starting to heal symptoms include: (this is huge) sensation coming back to genitals and when having a bowl movement. everything has been numb for a long time down there including lower belly button area. good size (not abnormal) bowel movements once a day or every two days. small dot size wart just fell off my finger that was there for years. have not broke out with a cold sore this winter (every winter prior for years i would develop a cold sore on my lip) Ongoing issues I don't sweat. not from my hands, or armpits or feet. I do not get butterflys in stomach. my hands have been so dry for years ive been using a crack cream as they crack and bleed very severely in the fall and winter.  (since going gluten free ive not used crack cream but they are still very very dry and chapped/flaky, no sweat or moisture in palms of hands at all. I dont crave food. i have no cravings at all, not for pizza, ice cream , nothing. my cravings are dead. smell of foods kinda make me hungry, but my stomach blocks it. pins needles in feet get weak legs standing up from sitting and dizzy, things almost turn black. i cannot tolerate veggies or vitamins. Iam vitamin D deficient according to my Dr and Ive tried vitamin D pills. they give me a massive migraine for 8 hours and upset my stomach. the heat from the direct sun make me extremely tired to the point of wanting to pass out. again i don't sweat. broccoli gives me a migraine headache as well. mushrooms, bell peppers burn my stomach. fruits burn my stomach, fats (peanut butter, any oil or fat from meats make me sick to my stomach for a couple hours or longer. salt and pepper burns my stomach. all these issues cause pain at my belly button area and expand to the rest of my upper stomach and sides the more i ingest through out the day. I currently eat bland basmati rice, chicken, pork chops (fat trim), boiled russet potatoes no skin for three meals a day. my snacks are gluten free ground buckwheat flour pancakes. (just water, no oil , salt, dairy.) how am i to get vitamins in my system if i cannot tolerate them in my stomach? i mentioned epidermal vitamin patchs but dr said no. why cant i stand the heat from the sun ? why cant i sweat? thanks for any info.
