Great Gf Dining, New England

I just read an old post from "Concerned Chef" urging epople to spread the word when we have a great dining experience. Here's the best I've experienced in Massachusetts and Vermont.

Simon Pearce Restaraunt: Quechee, VT (Near Woodstock, VT and Hanover, NH)

Knowledgable servers, at least 2-3 entrees to choose from that just "happen to be" gluten-free. Very fresh ingredients, homemade sauces and marinades. I always mention when I make a reservation that I require a gluten-free meal and it is never an issue.

Bravo: Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, MA

Went to a Holiday party/sit down meal here. Very good. Spoke with the manager in advance. Coincidentally, one of the options for dinner was gluten-free (Procuitto wrapped chicken breast with risotto and creme brulee for dessert!). They were very helpful, went through every ingredient with me to be sure, and the meal was excellent.

FYI: You do not have to buy a ticket to the museum to have dinner there

Enjoy!

I have been gluten free for 11 months. I don't enjoy eating out like I used to. However, I have had a few positive experiences with restaurants in Massachusetts. Legal Seafoods is great. (Boston, Framingham, Braintree) I've never had a waiter that hasn't known about Gluten Intolerance. I've also never gotton sick there. The Naked Fish has been very accomodating in Boston, Natick and Westboro. There is the Outback Steakhouse with a gluten-free menu. PF Changs in Boston has been accomodating. I find the chain restaurants such as The 99 and TGIF Fridays to be too risky. I have also had bad luck at Joe's American Bar and Grill.

      I would ask for a total IGA test (aka, Immunoglobulin A (IgA) and other names as well) to check for IGA deficiency. That test should always be ordered along with the TTG IGA. If someone is IGA deficient, their individual celiac IGA test scores will be artificially low which can result in false negatives. Make sure you are eating generous amounts of gluten leading up to any testing or diagnostic procedure for celiac disease to ensure validity of the results. 10g of gluten daily for a period of at least 2 weeks is what current guidelines are recommending. That's the amount of gluten found in about 4-6 slices of wheat bread.

      There was not a total IGA test done, those were the only two ordered. I would say I was consuming a normal amount of gluten, I am not a huge bread or baked goods eater

      Were you consuming generous amounts of gluten in the weeks leading up to the blood draw for the antibody testing? And was there a Total IGA test done to test for IGA deficiency?

      Thank you for the reply. It was the TTG IGA that was within normal limits

      Welcome to the forum, @jlp1999! Which IGA test do you refer to as being normal? TTG-IGA? Total IGA? DGP-IGA? Yes, any positive on an IGA or an IGG test can be due to something other than celiac disease and this is especially true of weak positives. Villous atrophy can also be cause by other things besides celiac disease such as some medications, parasitic infections and even some foods (especially dairy from an intolerance to the dairy protein casein). But the likelihood of that being the case is much less than it being caused by celiac disease.
