There's PF Changs, as well as Cafe Baldo in I believe Seaford or Massapequa and Mamma's in Oakdale. I think there are reviews of both on this board if you search through old posts.

Mama's in Oakdale is one of my favorite restaurants (and I live in Westchester).

I Love Gluten Cafe is in Wantagh (but in my opinion, not that great).

Other than PF Chang's and Outback those are the only ones I can think of, but I know there is a bbq place also in Westbury (something with Dave's in the name) that is very aware of gluten.

And there are a lot of great health food stores on LI that carry products you can't find in Whole Foods. In Plainview there is Dr. B Wells and Get Healthy America (right near each other but I think they both have some things that the other doesn't).

Hope this helps.

Outback Steakhouse in Westbury is great. The wait staff really gets it. I haven't been to it yet but Legal Seafoods also has a gluten free menu.

Please check with Famous Dave's (the bbq place mentioned above) before eating there. We used to eat there all the time prior to my being gluten free and when I emailed to ask if I could eat there safely as a celiac they basically told me no. I think I have the email at home. If I can find it I will post their response. I emailed them a couple of months ago so maybe their policy has changed which would be great because I love that place.

Yes, I ditto MAMAS in Oakdale (631) 567-0909 (there are 2 Mamas in Oakdale, this is the number to the gluten-free one!), CAFE BALDO (not Gluten Cafe) in Wantagh, Carrabas in Smithtown (and I believe Lindenhurst? or somewhere else on the Island), You mentioned Outback, Chilis... PF Changs in Westbury. I have also had luck at Grand Luxe Cafe in the Roosevelt Field Mall (I got an omlet and salad, but the wait staff was extremely helpful). I also heard that Chipotle Grill has gluten-free menu (but have never tired it), there is one just opposite the Nassau Coliseum (by Hofstra), and one by the Broadway Mall on Rt. 107. I also *risk* panara's salad in a pinch. Pizzeria Uno also has a gluten-free menu, I have gone to the one in Lynbrook, and have been OK. Also, Charlie Browns in Lynbrook, Commack/Smithtown/Mineola has a gluten-free menu. I have eaten at Laguna Grill in Westbury and Locust Valley, and was able to get a steak salad (no seasoning), and they were very accommodating.

I have also heard good things (I think even a gluten-free menu) about Long River Chinese in West Islip on Union Blvd, Oystermens in Sayville on Foster Ave, and Grecian Caf

My sister and I (both Celiacs) need to get a Gluten Free pizza from Cafe Baldo in Wantagh every week or two. The owner/manager is a Celiac herself, so she takes it seriously.

Cafe Baldo

2849 Jerusalem Ave

Wantagh, NY

The crust needs work (it's a bit limp), but it's the best Gluten Free pizza we've ever had.

However, it ain't cheap.

It goes about $22 for a pizza, and toppings are very expensive.

We usually just get a regular pie, and toss some olives on it when we get home :o

The also have a full gluten free menu, from pastas to chicken parmagiana, and the portions for the pasta and entrees are pretty huge.

For the non-celiacs, they serve adequate italian food as well.

However, I just love the pizza. That's one of the things I have the hardest time with :(

Just want to add that in Rockville Centre, there's a restaurant called Open Original Shared Link, that has a Gluten Free menu.

One of the owner's family is Celiac, so they have a dedicated kitchen within the establishment for Gluten Free cooking to avoid cross-contamination. That includes a deep fryer, for big steak fries :D

Redbridge beer in bottles, altough I think most stuff like pasta's/bread, etc. are simply store bought, frozen then cooked. However, they do offer lots of regular dining options that you can feel safe with.

Pretty good restaurant all around.

there are 2 Mamas in Oakdale

Correction, there are 2 Mama's...one in Oakdale, which is raved about, and the other is in Sayville. No one has mentioned as to whether the Sayville location serves gluten free, or not. I think I heard that it isn't.

Mama's caters our support group's Christmas party every year.

      those are spring roll wrappers and will not work for true egg rolls; they kept  fall apart.  But thank you for your reply.

      Swollen Lymph Nodes

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your experience with a persistently swollen lymph node is understandable, especially given your autoimmune diagnosis. It’s reassuring that the ultrasound showed no suspicious features and your doctor attributes it to your autoimmune condition—this is actually quite common. Many people with autoimmune disorders (like celiac disease, rheumatoid arthritis, or lupus) report swollen lymph nodes as their immune system remains in a heightened state of activity. Since your node hasn’t changed significantly in years and imaging supports its benign nature, cancer is unlikely, but your concern is valid. If the node grows, becomes painful, or develops other worrisome changes (like hardness or irregular shape), pushing for a biopsy would be reasonable. However, given your stable history and medical reassurance, monitoring it may be the best approach for now. That said, if anxiety persists, discussing a biopsy with your doctor for absolute peace of mind is never wrong—your comfort matters too. Others in autoimmune communities often share similar stories of "reactive" nodes that linger indefinitely, so you’re not alone. Trust your instincts, but also take comfort in the ultrasound results and your overall stability since diagnosis. Keep your doctor updated if anything shifts!

      Months of diarrhea - Testing question

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your experience sounds incredibly challenging, and it’s clear that your body is reacting severely to gluten, whether it’s due to celiac disease or a worsening gluten intolerance. Given your recent symptoms—especially the intense diarrhea, chills, and systemic inflammation—it does align with celiac disease, particularly since your doctor noted these as hallmark signs. The fact that even trace amounts (like soy sauce) are now triggering such extreme reactions suggests your sensitivity has escalated significantly. Since you’ve been gluten-free for a week (aside from the soy sauce), your doctor is right that the blood test might still detect antibodies if your gut is highly inflamed. However, for the most accurate results, celiac testing typically requires consistent gluten consumption (the "6-week challenge"), as antibodies diminish when gluten is avoided. Given how sick you’ve been, though, reintroducing gluten now could be unbearable. If the blood test is negative, you might need to discuss with the gastroenterologist whether further testing (like another endoscopy) is worth the toll of a gluten challenge. Your prior negative test 3.5 years ago may indeed have been a false negative due to insufficient gluten intake, so this time, proper testing is crucial for a definitive answer. For now, proceed with the blood test tomorrow—if positive, it could spare you further gluten exposure. If negative, you’ll need to weigh the risks of a controlled gluten challenge versus accepting a strict gluten-free lifestyle based on symptoms alone. Either way, your resolve to avoid gluten is wise given the severity of your reactions. Prioritize healing with your bland diet and follow up closely with your doctor.
