We just got back from the Gluten-Free Summit in Providence, and I wanted to share the restaurants we dined at while in Rhode Island and Massachusetts. The Summit was phenomenal, and we enjoyed all of the chefs cooking and baking for us!

The Grille on Main - 50 Main Street, East Greenwich, RI - undeniably the most incredible restaurant we have dined at since being diagnosed! We would eat at this restaurant every night for a week if we didn't live in California!. Chef Russell and the Eric the manager treated us like royalty! We had the absolute best pizza we have ever eaten (including gluten pizza), buffalo wings, sweet potato fries, shrimp & chicken stir fry, scallops with fried goat cheese and apple chutney, a huge peanut butter cookie sandwich with vanilla ice cream in the middle and creme brulee. Our party left very full and satisfied after this delicious meal!

Smokey Bones - 31B Universal Blvd., Warwick, RI - great Gluten-free BBQ menu! We had BBQ ribs and loaded mashed potatoes!

Pei Wei - 4 Chapel View Blvd., Cranston, RI - sweet and sour chicken with rice! Yum! There are no Pei Wei's yet in Northern California yet.

Rancho Chico - 52 Washington Street, Plainville, MA - the most delicious Mexican food we have eaten since being diagnosed. We had nachos, fajitas and enchiladas. Even the tortilla chips were Gluten-free!

Burton's Grill - 1363 Boylston Street, Boston, MA - salmon with baked potato and broccoli, roasted chicken on a carrot and green bean risotto and warm chocolate torte.

Boynton Pizza - 117 Highland Street, Worcester, MA - their pizza was absolutely delicious because their crust was crisp on the bottom, very cheesy and a little bit of grease that we miss so much on our pizzas. We actually drove down from Boston the next day to enjoy their pizza again for lunch! They also had a Gluten-free chocolate mousse cake "to die for!"

Four Seasons Hotel (The Bristol) - 200 Boylston Street, Boston, MA - Chef Angel at The Bristol made us Gluten-free french toast, blueberry muffins and Gluten-free almond currant scones! Just give the chefs some notice and they will make you anything - even Gluten-free pancakes!

The only restaurant we did not get to was Alice's Diner at 2663 S Main Street, Fall River, MA. We were so full from a great dinner the night before, we just could not eat breakfast that morning! Alice's has a Gluten-free menu for breakfast and lunch.

Enjoy!

Sue

Although I did not attend the gluten-free Summit, I have been to many of the restaurants you have mentioned here as I live in Massachusetts and I dine out with a dining group from R.I. You are correct, these places are excellent and well worth a visit. It's a really good place to live, as far as being gluten-free! :D

I took my DD to the Boynton Restaurant today for pizza and found out that they put Wheat Starch in it. There is a disclaimer at the bottom of the gluten-free menu stating that they use small amounts of wheat starch in the pizza, and yet they are certifying it as gluten free. The waitress even told us about it before taking our order to be sure we saw it. How can this be? Don't celiacs have to avoid wheat starch? Needless to say, we left the restaurant and ate elsewhere.

I would like to add to the great list for eating gluten-free in RI.

Providence: Kabob and Curry Restaurant, Waterplace Restaurant (a Pinelli Mara restaurant... all their restaurants have gluten-free menus, even though they are not on line), Pizzaria Unos, Red Stripe in Wayland Square (has gluten-free french fries and Redbridge Beer, all their food is fab and even a manager is gluten-free herself), Apsara Thai Food on Hope Street.

Pawtucket: Rasoi Indian Restaurant (same owner as Kabob and Curry, but much better atmosphere). Great menu with all items marked as to gluten free, vegan, spicy, etc.

Newport: Tucker's Bistro.... loved this place as a really nice night out. gluten-free bread on the table, every item on the regular menu is available gluten-free (except a few desserts). We ate four courses and loved them all.

Narragansett: Blue Wave Pizza Call ahead b/c gluten-free crust takes one hour. Owner makes each one to order from scratch. yummy!!!

If you're in the city, Nice Slice on Thayer St. (providence) has gluten free pizza! I recommend anything with BBQ sauce! I can't get enough of it!!

      Options - 7 year old boy - Helicobacter pylori and serology

      By Kathleen JJ · Posted

      @cristiana First of all I want to thank you for your clear and gentle approach to my questions and emails. I was quite in shock because we were totally not expecting this scenario. We're 2 weeks later now and things have settled more. After the biopsie came back positive the rest of our family got tested as well but non of us have it. But now we know what we're up against, we told him. We laid out a table with crisps he likes (and are gluten-free) and had a little festive Friday-night moment and then told him that we finally had the results of his test. We had explained the gastroscopy to him that the doctor had found some substances in his blood and wanted to look at this tummy from the inside. We told him that he had seen that there was a little wound there, explaining the horrible pains he had had. That it was easy to cure this wound and make that it never would come back: leaving out some type of foods. Both our children had been asking us for a long time to take a packed lunch to school instead of eating at the cafeteria so we ended with the 'good news' that they now can bring a packed lunch. Our daughter was over the moon, our son at first as well but then he was really sad about leaving his friends behind at the dinner table (children who eat hot meals and packed lunches are different dining areas) and that he would not be able to sit with his friends who take packed lunches as the seats are set and he's the last one in and would have to sit alone. So that was quite sad [I went to the headmaster and asked her to maybe have a shuffle of the diner tables after New Years so he also can sit with a friend and she was going to look into it]   We are now trying out different types of foods. I at this point have no idea what to put in his packed lunch as before I'd take some sandwiches and put cheese or ham on them, but the gluten-free bread I've found so far doesn't really allow for that (it breaks and falls apart). So now I'm on a hunt for nicely tasting things to put in his lunchbox.   I've been shocked somewhat to see that a lot of gluten-free products are indeed gluten-free and thus healthier for him, but are also contain much more fats and sugar then their gluten full counterparts... I didn't expect that to be honest...   Anyway, you mentioned that your daughter and her friends love your gluten-free cake. I'm very interested in a recipe. It is customary in Belgium that if a child has his birthday, they give a treat to the rest of the class, and that treat is most often cake or cupcakes. He will not be able to taste anyones treats anymore so I asked the teacher for all the birthdays and am planning to bake some for him right before those birthdays, give to the teacher so she can give to him. But this entails I have a good cake recipe 🤭. Would you be so kind to share this with me?   Kind regards, Kathleen

      gluten-free and continued upper left side pain after drinking wine

      By Raquel2021 · Posted

      Yes stress can .make the pain worse. That being said it is taking years for my body to heal. I am not able to eat out as 98 % of restaurants do not know how to cook for celiacs.  I only eat out on special occasions. Any time I eat gluten I feel there is a tourch going through my digestive system specifically in the area you have mentioned.  Like where the deudenal is . I am very sensitive to cross contamination so any small amount of gluten makes me sick.

      Gluten free diet - are these symptoms normal?

      By trents · Posted

      @Ems10, celiac diagnosis normally involves two steps. The first one is serum antibody testing which you may have already have had done and are waiting on the results. The second step involves and endoscopy (aka, gastroscopy) with biopsy of the small bowel lining. This second step is typically ordered if one or more antibody tests were positive, is a confirmation of the serum antibody testing and is considered the gold standard diagnostic test for celiac disease. Now hear this, you should not be eating gluten free weeks or months in advance of either kind of testing. Prematurely going on a gluten free diet can and will sabotage the results of the endoscopy/biopsy should you get a referral to a GI doc who would want to do that. Eliminating gluten from the diet causes causes inflammation to subside which allows the small bowel ling to heal such that the damage they would be looking for is no longer 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.

      It might make sense for you to find out if they've run a celiac disease test on you, and if not, consider planning for it.
