Gluten-free In North Jersey?

i'm looking for restaurants in the northern new jersey area (sussex & morris county) that have a gluten-free selection.

i already know of outback steakhouse, and longhorn steakhouse is in the midst of developing a gluten-free menu as we speak.

any suggestions?

and feel free to name any restaurants in the upper-half of the state. i just choose to stay more local when i'm going out to dinner with friends.

thanks! :)

hi! i'm in northern jersey too - i grew up in bergen county, and i'm in hoboken now.

there's a GREAT restaurant in Ho-Ho-Kus called Janice's - the food is EXCELLENT, a lot of it is gluten free (they will tell you what is/isn't, it seems like most is) and they have gluten free bread. it's great if you want to go somewhere beyond chain restaurants (that said, i am going to outback tonight!)

i also like legal seafoods at the garden state mall, and there's a PF chang's at riverside in paramus. in hoboken there's a melting pot, which i've read on here does gluten-free but ihaven't tried it yet. if you're feeling really fancy, there's ruth's chris (parsippany and near hoboken, weehauken i think?) and morton's in riverside sq. mall (paramus) - i've had great meals there (though very expensive)

let me know of any you find!

We often go to the Legal Seafood at the Short Hills Mall . . . they have a gluten free menu.

Also, we found a new pizzaria, Calabria Pizzeria & Restaurant that serves gluten free pizza and pasta. We haven't been there yet, so I would ask a lot of questions about cross contamination at the outset, but we are definitely planning to try it.

Pals Cabin has been able to accommodate us. Grilled chicken and baked potato & veggies are great . . . they do a good grilled steak as well.

In Montclair, there is a Japanese restaurant, DaiKichi, where we keep our own bottle of wheat free soy sauce and they accommodate us as well. Good chicken teryaki and sushi.

Also in Montclair, Tinga Taqeria on Bellvue Ave. is a good Mexican restaurant. Their hard corn tacos with beef or chicken are fine and so are their tortilla chips.

good luck!

If you are ever in Cape May, the Belle Vida serves great gluten free food. I loved it there.

      Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Have you been able to see a doctor or rheumatologist about this? Inflammation like that could point to something like celiac complications, an autoimmune response, or even reactive arthritis, and you deserve relief and answers. In the meantime, gentle heat/cold therapy or anti-inflammatory foods and over the counter meds might help a little, but I hope you can get proper medical support soon.

      None of your test results suggest celiac disease but your symptoms suggest either celiac or NCGS.  There is another test mode for celiac disease that might be pursued and that is an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining to check for the damage caused by celiac disease inflammation. This is the gold standard test for celiac disease and is usually done even when blood antibody test scores are positive. However, you might not find a physician willing to do the procedure in the absence of negative celiac antibody test scores. The absence of any positive celiac antibody test scores suggests that damage is not occurring to the lining of the small bowel. The endoscopy/biopsy would involve a referral to a GI doc. One question about your rash. Are there pustules in the bumps? This is characteristic of the rash associated with celiac disease known as dermatitis herpetiformis. My suggestion for you at this point would be to trial the gluten free diet for three months and see if your symptoms improve. If so, you likely have NCGS. If not, then you need to look in a different direction for answers to your health issues. If you do go on a gluten free diet, realize that you would need to go back on gluten for several weeks if you ever want to get tested for celiac disease again. Current guidelines for the "gluten challenge" recommend the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (the amount in about 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks prior to testing. But I would certainly give it more than two weeks to be certain of valid testing. I would also talk to your physician about your high immunoglobulin A Qn score. It may mean nothing but it can also be an indicator of some potentially serious health issues. You should google it. Here is a primer for getting off to a good start with eating gluten free:

      This is what the exact results say…  Immunoglobulin A Qn -high 419 off chart  Deamidated Gliadin ABS, iga -2 (normal range)  T-transglutaminase (ttg) igg- 5 (normal range) T- transglutaminase (ttg) iga -2 (normal range) I was still consuming gluten when this test was done with tons of symptoms such as sick to stomach and throwing up daily no matter what I eat, random rashes and itching, painful joints, no energy and fatigue, gas, constapation, bloating, just overall unwell.
