Does anyone know of a gluten-free restaurant close by? It needs to be something quick. I actually am one of the grand prize winners in the JK Rowling Open Book Tour and will be meeting her on October 19th! I am so excited but don't want to ruin the evening taking any chances with dinner. I work on the Upper East Side not too far from Lumi but wasn't sure if that would be a quick meal.

Are you looking for someplace specifically with a gluten-free menu? If so, I can't think of anywhere over there that has one. But there are a lot of restaurants in the area that I'm sure could be accomodating. If you don't feel comfortable doing that, I would suggest grabbing a salad at lunch time, put it in the fridge at work, and have that with you.

Or maybe call Lumi ahead of time that day, tell them what you want and let them know the situation. They are really nice there and I can see them being helpful and having it ready if you tell them around what time you'll be in. I love Lumi.

      Getting sick much more often

      By Jordan Carlson · Posted

      @trents I do take all the recommended vitamins and excersize regularly. Basically do all things labeled as a healthy lifestyle haha. Thats why I was thinking more this is my immune system now having the energy to fight viruses rather than being too stressed out as I have heard that it is a common thing when your body is over stressed due to underlying autoimmune diseases

      Jordan Carlson, Wheat flour is fortified with vitamins ("enriched") where as gluten free facsimile flours are not. So when you eliminate wheat flour from your diet you may lose a significant source of nutrition. At the same time, gluten-free prepackaged foods are practically devoid of vitamins and minerals, consisting mostly of highly processed high carbohydrate grain substitutes. Lots of rice flour and tapioca. Have you compensated by adding in some high quality gluten free vitamin and mineral supplements? We typically recommend this for new celiacs, especially at the front end of recovery before there has been very much healing of the small bowel villous lining and nutritional absorption is still poor. Edit: I edited my other post to direct it to Sanna King's post.

      Hey there @trents. I wish I could edit my original post. I am talking about getting a cold way more often, not gluten poisoning.

      Reply to Sanna King: As you have withdrawn gluten from your diet you have lost all tolerance to it that you had when consuming it on a regular basis. This is normal. Not everyone experiences it but it is common. It has been my experience as well. When I was consuming gluten every meal every day for years after the onset of celiac disease but before diagnosis I would experience mild GI symptoms like a little occasional diarrhea. After being gluten free for a significant time, any major exposure to gluten would make me violently ill. Hours of severe cramps and vomiting followed by hours of diarrhea. Like when my wife made me gluten-free biscuits and made herself wheat flour biscuits and I got them mixed up and ate a couple. I am not a super sensitive celiac in the sense of being made ill by small amounts of cross contamination but if I get a significant exposure like I just described it is awful.

      Hi there @Sanna King! I am talking about contracting colds/flu, not gluten reactions. Sorry if I did not make that clear. My stomach symptoms have improved vastly since changing my diet. But I contract colds way more often than I ever had before.
