Gracie's/shamrock Cafe In Dutchess Co., Ny

Out of utter random coincidence, I stopped on the way from NYC to Vermont off the Taconic Parkway in Dutchess County, New York, in the town of Lagrangeville. There I found a a tiny diner/coffee shop in a kinda hidden shopping center in the absolute middle of nowhere. It was listed as "Gracie's Cafe" on the GPS system, but the sign outside said "Shamrock Cafe".

(Open Original Shared Link)

Sat down at the table, and by accident one of the menus given to us was a Gluten Free menu. I was shocked. It was several pages. Gluten-free sandwiches, breads, pancakes, waffles...

I got an order of chocolate chip pancakes. They tasted like real chocolate chip pancakes, and they were made from scratch. They were delicious. So good that I was convinced they got the order wrong and I was eaten gluten-full.

However, I didn't have any kind of adverse reaction, so it seems like they got it right. I cannot say for certain what pains they take to avoid cross contamination, but I was very, very happy with the experience.

If you're ever heading up the east side of the Hudson 2 hours north of NYC, plan on getting off the Taconic at route 82, and head a few 100 yards north/east. One of the happier accidents you'll encounter :D

OMG!!! I live about 10 minutes from there and never knew they had a gluten free menu.

I ate there when it was Gracie's Cafe and I was still a glutenivore :P , and wasn't too impressed with their food.

But that was several years ago and maybe since the name changed, so did the food.

I am definitely going to head there as soon as i can to peruse that several page gluten-free menu!!

Thanks so much for the post!

Gina :D

      High blood test numbers - with scales. Any advice?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @RMJ, you have multiple positive tests so celiac disease is likely.  This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease.

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By trents · Posted

      One small study found that 50% of celiacs react to the dairy protein "casein" like they do to gluten. It is also common for celiacs to be lactose (the sugar in milk) intolerant, though that often disappears in time as the villi heal. About 10% of celiacs react to the oat protein "avenin" like they do gluten.

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      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:
