Virtually any high-end restaurant can accommodate you easily. I really like Commander's Palace (Garden District) and Bella Luna (French Quarter). I know some who have gone to Delmonico (owned by Emeril). The Acme Oyster House supposedly cooks its seafood in a corn batter only. Jambalaya should be naturally gluten-free. Some gumbos are thickened with file and no flour but obviously you'd have to ask.

And then there's seafood. Yum.

BTW, if it's spiced with Zatarain's, it's gluten-free.

Celiacfreeman, I'm going in January also! I'll be there for almost 3 weeks working . I've made arrangements with my hotel to prepare gluten-free meals. They've asked me for a menu for 5 days and will alternate it for me. They are even buying pots and pans for my food to be sure to avoid cross contamination. Some celiac friendly restaurants include the one in Loews Hotel, W hotel, Acme Oyster Bar, K-Pauls and Maximos. I imagine that Gills will be fine too. As Richard has stated, almost any high end restaurant will serve you a gluten free meal that is safe. For breakfasts, remember hard boiled eggs and bring along rice cakes and peanut butter. I never travel without them!

Have fun! ;)

I can't imagine eating a rice cake, guess that's why I have gained 27 lb in

10 month and am now weigh 142. I'm short, so I need to put the breaks on.

Eggs are a great suggestion thanks.

I will be there on the 28th of Jan. Which hotel, so maybe I can get a meal there

as well. I'm staying at the Daulphene, but it does not have a restuarant. I just hope I can get some plain seafood in New Orleans and not worried about wheat in the spices they use. I will carry a gaint purse with my cocktail sauce in it, the Nestles brand of cocktail sauce is supposedly gluten-free.

McCormick's cocktail sauce is also gluten-free.

A lot of places do use Zatarains, and, as I said, it's gluten-free.

      Advantages vs. Disadvantages of having an official Celiac diagnosis

      By Brianne03 · Posted

      My daughter was recently diagnosed with Celiac; my results are questionable and I have an appointment scheduled to see a GI doctor to further discuss. I have so many odd, ongoing symptoms that could possibly be gluten related, although who really knows!! I am considering going gluten-free whether a Celiac diagnosis is confirmed or not, just to see if there are any improvements with my dermatitis, mouth sores, aching and chronically cold hands, tingling in hands and feet, random joint pains, etc.  What are the advantages vs. disadvantages of having an official Celiac diagnosis? For instance, will it affect life insurance policies, medical insurance rates? What have you personally experienced with or without an official diagnosis? I'm almost afraid there will be more hinderances and hardships if an official diagnosis is given, but maybe I am way off base and missing the positives altogether. We are located in the US. Thank you!

      Thank you all for the reply posts.  Yes, the constipation has abated.  I am not sure whether its due to having changed to a gluten-free diet or not, but I do think that there is a reasonable correlation.  I know that I will get over this eventually, but I am finding it hard not to lament missing all of my favorite foods that contain gluten.  Certainly, my health comes first... I guess I never realized how many things contain some element of wheat.  My sister has been living with celiac disease for most of her life, so I have someone who will share her favorite recipes. The next step for me will be my appointment with a Gastroenterologist for the Celiac Team... I hope everyone has a safe and wonderful Thanksgiving!

      Poo changes after 2 weeks

      Thank you. That’s all really helpful. I think it must have been something she ate as the poo colour has settled now.    Starting to see improvements in her tummy, slowly but surely!
