Hi!

I ate at Mangiano's for a company lunch. Prior to arriving I found out that the vendor who was taking us out there, had called ahead and ordered family size portions of everything-and I couldnt have one dish he had selected. I thought I was to go hungry, but once they told the waiter and the manager came right out and spoke to me about options. They had gluten free pasta available, and gave me a list of sauces that I could and could not have. They brought me out my own salad with oil and vinegar, since they claimed all the dressings had gluten in them. For my meal i got rice pasta with a tomato primavera--loads of veggies. Then without me even have to order it, they brought out a creme brulee just for me for dessert. It was huge! Portions were great, I ate my pasta for two meals after. Overall a very happy experience there. I have heard its good to call ahead, just to make sure they have the gluten-free pasta on hand though.

For another alternative---the owners of the Beacon Street Tavern and Washington Square Tavern are very celiac friendly! They have a daughter or son who was diagnosed. While they don't have a gluten free menu, they are very aware about the disease and cross contamination etc. They also stock their bars with Redbridge-the gluten free beer from Anheiser Busch.

Have fun and happy birthday!

Legal Seafoods is great about all food alleriges/intolerances. I ate at the Warwick, RI location a couple of weeks ago and it was awesome.

I had the most awful experience at the Legal Seafoods in the Theater District. They put regular ritz crackers on my lobster bake, and apologized, but wouldn't give me my money back because they said it would constitute a refund for "medical reasons" and I would have to sign a waiver first!!!

But, I had a great meal at the PF Changs in the Theater District, at the Maggiano's down there (like you said, no gluten-free menu, but a great staff, and chef, that explained what he could make for me, with gluten-free pasta), and at the elephant walk....but I know you said you are sick of them. Happy Birthday!

Happy early birthday!

I had a TERRIBLE time at Maggiano's -- I think it might depend on when you go. I've been to the one in Philly, and it's always been terrific -- the chef comes out and everything -- but I went on a Saturday night a few weeks ago, and the waiter refused to give me anything except for gluten-free pasta and tomato sauce. He even threw a big fuss if I asked if I could have chicken, or veggies in it! Then when the pasta DID come, I suspect it was cooked in regular pasta water, because I got so sick afterward. So I think that Maggiano's isn't so great if you're going on a busy night. Maybe it's ok at other times? I know I won't be back to that one, myself.

I love Fireplace, but I am definitely a meat eater, so I don't know what their vegetarian gluten-free options are like. If you told them enough in advance, though, I suspect that there's a chance that they could whip something up for you. If not, what about some place like wagamama's?

I would suggest making reservations at Rialto because I had the BEST EVER gluten-free meal there and you will not get sick. It's a high end place, with educated people working there and they know gluten inside out. The gluten-free menu is larger than most places and the chef, Jody Adams, is Julia Child caliber and truly gets it with regards to Celiac. It's your birthday and you are worth it!

One note.....the portion sizes are small and it's because Jody Adams designs the menu around courses. They offer a 4 course meal at $60.00 and by the time you finish all 4 courses, you should be pleasantly full. It really is worth the money, if you are into high end places that understand the gluten issue.

Legal Seafoods is Great

But on the cheaper side of things...Pizzeria Uno had a gluten free menu. (Sure it's not a high class restaurant but...maybe some other folks might like the suggestion.

      Type 1 diabetes (4year old) and positieve ttg

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @marinke! "Type 1a diabetes (DM1) is associated with an increased risk of celiac disease (celiac disease) (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/35/10/2083/38503/IgA-Anti-transglutaminase-Autoantibodies-at-Type-1 "The prevalence of celiac disease (celiac disease) in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is 5.1%, and it is often asymptomatic (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/48/2/e13/157637/Diagnostic-Outcomes-of-Elevated-Transglutaminase So, this is 5x the rate found in the general population.

      Long term recovery

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi James47, You are less than 2 years into your recovery from Celiacs.  Tell us more about the problems you are having. Do you just want to get rid of belly fat or are you still having symptoms like gas and bloating.    For symptoms you may need to change your diet and take various supplements that you cannot adsorb from the foods you eat because of the damage caused by the autoimmune reaction in your small intestine.

      Type 1 diabetes (4year old) and positieve ttg

      By marinke · Posted

      My daughter (4 years old) has type 1 diabetes since she was 1. Therefore, every year a screening is done. We live in the Netherlands. Every year the screening was fine. This year here ttg is positive, 14, >7 is positive. IGA was in range. Could the diabetes cause this positive result? Or the fact that she was sick the weeks before the brood test?

      Shortness Of Breath (the "sighs")?

      By Baz · Posted

      @DayaInTheSun what were the shortness of breath symptoms for you ? And did they come on all of a sudden or was it a gradual increase in said symptoms?

      Shortness Of Breath (the "sighs")?

      By DayaInTheSun · Posted

      I had shortness of breath so much so I went to a lung doctor. I told him I get short of breath wirh certain foods, he said “Food doesn’t affect hour breathing.” I told him maybe it was an allergy  he cut me off then said “Food allergies don’t cause shortness of breathe.” I beg to differ as soon as I figured out what foods were causing my shortness of breath it went away. I also never saw him again as he was rude, condescending? And refuse to listen to me kept dismissing my problems as “you’re young.” I cut out Soy, dairy, sesame, eggs, and of course gluten. I stopped being short of breath, going on a two years now. No thanks to the doctor I saw. Figured it out on my own.
