Keene, NH:

Fritz's Fries: A little college town eatery on main street, offering AMAZING french fries. They just recently got gluten free bread and will make their sandwiches/panini on it. I just had an Italian Stallion, which is italian meat and cheese and it was delicious. approx. $6.50 for a sandwich.

Across the street is a salad joint, I dont know the name. They bake gluten free foccacia and will make salads for you. Focaccia was delicious, comes in two flavors.

Portsmouth, NH

There are MANY chains here, but Popovers on the Square has gluten free sandwiches and deserts. DELICIOUS mousse, though pricy, and boutique grill sandwiches. Very yummy. Located right downtown in the tourist/shopping area.

I posted a couple weeks ago about Popovers on the Square in here as well, I highly recommend it. The gluten-free bread they use for their sandwiches is really good, I keep meaning to go to the Portsmouth Health Food Store to check it out, that is apparently where they get it. It's called Millets Special or something but I don't know the actual brand name, I think it's from a local bakery. Anyways, just thought I'd share.

Fritz's Fries is great, though the type of gluten-free bread they offer changes. They have been getting a delicious baguette from a company in Brattleboro VT called Against the Grain but availability (or deliveries?) has not been consistent. When they don't have the baguette they've been using a white rice bread (can't remember the brand but available on the shelf at grocery stores) that my 4-yo daughter loves grilled with PB&J. They are supposed to use foil on the panini presses to prevent cross -contamination, but a friend suggested you may want to remind them. (They forgot on hers.)

The place across the street is the Keene Fresh Salad Company, and they also offer a gluten-free muffin each day.

Awesome! Thanks for the heads up, I may be looking to moving to keene NH in the future, if not somewhere close to there. Just another reason for me too look forward to it ;).

There is a new restaurant in Portsmouth run by Traci Anello. The cafe is entirely gluten-free. She used to have a little bakery in Wells ME and opened the one in Portsmouth very recently. This is the website: Open Original Shared Link I haven't been there personally since I live in NYC but the bakery in Wells was a little piece of heaven, and I am sure the new cafe is great. She does mail order of her focaccia roll mix and baked goods.

Yes! This place is fantastic. I did post about this joint a few months ago, anybody searching for threads under my name should find it. Highly recommended.

Yay! and we're heading that way for the 4th. Thanks for the reminder! I stopped by Anello's in Wells last summer, but they were closed. Peered through the window and haven't stopped thinking of lemon bars since.

      Welcome to the forum, @ABP! We can't comment on the test numbers you give as you didn't include the range for negative. Different labs use different units and different ranges. There are no industry standards for this so we need more information. If your daughter doesn't have celiac disease she still could have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which some experts believe can be a precursor to celiac disease and is 10x more common than celiac disease. However, there is no test for it yet but it does share many of the same symptoms with celiac disease. Both require complete abstinence from gluten.  It is seldom the case during testing where all tests are positive, even for those who do have celiac disease. This is no different than when diagnosing other medical conditions and that is why it is typical to run numbers of tests that come at things from different angles when seeking to arrive at a diagnosis. It seems like you are at the point, since you have had both blood antibody testing and endoscopy/biopsy done, that you need to trial the gluten free diet. If her symptoms improve then you know all you need to know, whatever you label you want to give it. But given that apparently at least one celiac antibody blood test is positive and she has classic celiac symptoms such as slow growth, constipation and bloating, my money would be on celiac disease as opposed to NCGS.

      My nine-year-old daughter has suffered with severe constipation and bloating for years as well as frequent mouth sores, and keratosis Polaris on her arms. She also has recently decreased on her growth curve her % going down gradually.  After seeing a gastroenterologist, her IgG GLIADIN (DEAMIDATED) AB (IGG) was 22.4 while her IGA was normal. Her TISSUE TRANSGLUTAMINASE AB, IGA was 11.9.  Most recently her genetic test for celiac was positive.  After an endoscopy her tissue showed inflammation of the tissue as well as , increased intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) but there was no blunting of the change in the villi.    It seems that every result that we get one out of two things positive rather than all leading to an inconclusive diagnosis. While we do have another appointment with the doctor to go over the results. I'm curious based on this information what others think.    I would hate to have her eliminate gluten if not necessary- but also don't want to not remove if it is necessary.    Signed Confused and Concerned Mama

      I guess using "GF" instead of "PL" would have been too easy! 😉

      I was wrong, however, about there being no particular health concerns associated with high total IGA: https://www.inspire.com/resources/chronic-disease/understanding-high-iga-levels-causes-impacts/ So maybe the physician's "borderline" remark is relevant to that.
    • trents
      Sometimes that is the case but what is curious to me is the remark by your physician about being "borderline". I assume he was referring to the total IGA score but it just seems like an irrelevant remark when it is on the high side rather than being deficient.
