I'll just post most of an old reply I made on the travel thread...

1. RISOTTERIA - this is an absolute must. It's by far my favorite gluten-free restaurant in the city. It's on the corner of Bleecker Street and Morton Street in the West Village (near the 1 train (Christopher Street stop) or the A,C,E,B,D,F, and V trains (W4th street stop)). It's a great little Italian place with a good selection of pizza, focaccia sandwiches, and risottos. They also have great gluten-free breadsticks (they come automatically, you don't even need to ask) and desserts. The menu automatically lists all of the gluten-free options, and they pretty much make everything in a "regular" and gluten-free version. It's my own personal version of heaven, and it's about 3 blocks from where I live in New York, so I'm here quite a bit.

2. Babycakes! - Gluten-free bakery on the Lower East Side. www.babycakesnyc.com. It's a cute little place with a lot of great options, and it's sugar-free and vegan as well (I promise that they still taste great). I think you take the F train to Delancey Street and walk down to Broome Street, but I would look up their address and look up the subway directions on Hopstop (see below) to be safe.

3. Mozarelli's - I just tried this the other day (23rd Street b/t Park and Madison) - it's only open on weekdays, but you can get pizza by the slice, and it's REALLY really good!

Someone took care of all the GFRAP restaurants, but I've heard a lot of those are great as well.

When my daughter and I go see our Lyme doc every few months, we always stop at Risotteria. My husband, who is not gluten-free, said that their breadsticks are good breadsticks, not even considering they are gluten-free! Don't go expecting soft, doughy breadsticks, though .... they're great breadsticks, but they are not soft.

RISSOTERIA!!!!! I can't stress it enough, it's like crack, you just want more and more and more! Not to mention the first time i ate there and HAD pizza in public i cried! I'm a nerd but it's so exciting! You HAVE to get dessert too! I vote for the carrot cake. If there are a few of you in your group I also recommend being VERY bossy and tell people what to get, make sure everything is different and then pass all the plates to you so you can try everything! That's the rule with my friends when we go out. Just come VERY hungry, did i mention the all you can eat breadsticks?! AND PS there is a girl there that is really cool and if you take some of your meal home she will slip in a few extra sticks and not charge you! I think I'm going there for dinner tonight now that I think about it....

I like baby cakes, but to go to a bakery and actually EAT something is just a beautiful thing! The staff doesn't get excited with you, that kind of sucks.

To be honest i live in the city and the only place I go to is Rissoteria...I just love it too much to try something else...

I tried Rice and got SICK SICK SICK! So I say don't go there.

There is always the outbacks too. But REALLY go eat and have a WONDERFUL trip!

PS There isn't a lot around Times Square, so don't try.

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By K6315 · Posted

      Thank you so much Trents (Scott?)! I have started working with a dietitian and did a deep research dive as soon as I got the diagnosis. I am aware of what you mentioned in the first two paragraphs, and was not aware of anything in the third, so I am grateful for that information, and will talk to the dietitian about that. I think I was most interested in the withdrawal process - it gives me hope that, although I have felt unwell recently, I just need to be patient (not a strong suit). I have printed the article you sent and will look at it more closely. Thanks again!

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @K6315! Gluten withdrawal typically lasts for a period of a few weeks. But there is a real learning curve involved in actually attaining to a gluten free dietary state. Much more is involved than just cutting out major sources of gluten such as bread and pasta. It's all the places that gluten is hidden in the food supply that is difficult to ferret out, like soy sauce and canned tomato soup, canned chili and canned pork n' beans, some "lite" pancake syrups, potato salad, flavorings, etc., etc. Gluten-containing grain products are hidden through alternate terminology and found in places you would never expect.  There is also "cross contamination" where naturally gluten free foods come into contact with gluten-containing grains during farming, transportation, storage and manufacturing processes. Then there is the issue of "cross reactivity" whereby you may be having gluten-like reaction to food proteins whose structure is similar to gluten. Chief among these are dairy, oats (even gluten-free oats), soy, corn and eggs. I am including this article that you might find helpful:

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By K6315 · Posted

      Prior to being diagnosed, I had a gluten heavy diet. I stopped all gluten exactly a week ago and have continued to feel sick in the ways I did prior to going gluten free - primarily on and off nausea, brain fog, and fatigue. Wondering if this is normal and, if so, how long can I expect to feel this way?
