Hello guys!

I'm an Italian celiac girl. On Sunday August 16th I'll flight to the USA and i'll stay there for 10 days for an organized tour with some friends of mine in these cities: New York, Amherst, Toronto, Sayre, Beltsville, Washington, Miami.

It is an organized tour, breakfasts and dinners are organized but the lunch is free.. so I ask to you if you can suggest to me any restaurant, bar or something like this where can I eat for the lunch en each Town that I wrote in the title...

I would to know also if in those cities there are some stores, markets or shops specialized to sell celiac foods, if you know any of these, please give me the address so I can buy something to eat during the transfer from-to the cities by bus..

I'm looking forwar to hearing from you soon

Best regards

Daniela

Good gravy, Daniela, that's quite a trip! Here's some past threads on those places, and some other information:

New York:

https://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/index.php?showtopic=60176

Amherst:

https://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/index.ph...&pid=342147 (See the reply, marked #2. This is from 2007, but hopefully some of this still applies.)

Toronto:

https://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/index.php?showtopic=38695 (also 2007)

Sayre:

I guess this is Sayre, PA. There's a health food store in Elmira, NY, 40 miles away: Open Original Shared Link Sorry, best I could do.

Beltsville:

There's a pho place there; these are usually gluten-free, but you have to ask to be sure: Open Original Shared Link

Washington:

https://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/index.php?showtopic=14866 Thread started in '06, but there are some excellent newer posts on the second page. Personally I recommend very strongly Mitsitam Cafe at the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian: Open Original Shared Link (scroll to the bottom)

Miami:

https://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/index.php?showtopic=60127

Miami might be a problem, based on the replies in that thread; anyway, they have a few Whole Foods Markets locations: Open Original Shared Link

The Whole Foods homepage (linked repeatedly at the link above) has a store locator, so you can find out where there are Whole Foods Markets near the other places you're visiting. Whole Foods is very good because they have a good selection of gluten free foods (though you may have to ask for help, as it can be hard to find) and also hot food buffets with each item's ingredients clearly marked. You can eat there at tables provided.

Hope this helps.

      You are welcome! We frequently get similar comments. Knowledge about celiac disease in the medical community at large is, unfortunately, still significantly lacking. Sometimes docs give what are obviously bum steers or just fail to give any steering at all and leave their patients just hanging out there on a limb. GI docs seem to have better knowledge but typically fail to be helpful when it comes to things like assisting their patients in grasping how to get started on gluten free eating. The other thing that, to me at least, seems to be coming to the forefront are the "tweener" cases where someone seems to be on the cusp of developing celiac disease but kind of crossing back and forth over that line. Their testing is inconsistent and inconclusive and their symptoms may come and go. We like to think in definite categorical terms but real life isn't always that way.

      Hey @Morgan Tiernan, Sounds just like my experience. I was diagnosed with dermatitis herpetiformis over 10 years ago. It appeared suddenly as a very itchy rash which looked like Eczema. When a steroid cream didn't clear it up, my Dermatologist (who had come across it before) suspected dermatitis herpetiformis and performed a skin biopsy which came back positive for dermatitis herpetiformis. The important thing is to get a definitive diagnosis of dermatitis herpetiformis. What you've described sounds like classic dermatitis herpetiformis though. Hopefully, your Dermatologist has come across dermatitis herpetiformis before and performs the skin biopsy correctly as trents mentioned. I've had the blisters on the knees, hips, forearms/elbows or anywhere that pressure is applied to the skin ... from clothing or otherwise. They itch like nothing on earth, and yes salt from sweat or soaps/shower gels will irritate a lot. I've been on Dapsone and it is very very effective at eliminating the dermatitis herpetiformis itch, and improved my quality of life in the early stages of getting on top of dermatitis herpetiformis while I adjusted to the gluten-free diet. But it does have various side effects as trents said. It can effect the red blood cells, lowering hemoglobin and can cause anemia, and requires regular blood monitoring whilst on it. You would need to consider it carefully with your Dermatologist if you do have dermatitis herpetiformis. Here's a very informative webinar from Coeliac Canada discussing everything dermatitis herpetiformis related.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PAdmsNiyfOw I've also found this recent interview with a Dermatologist about dermatitis herpetiformis to be educational.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZnLeKutgUY Keep the chin up and keep advocating for yourself for a proper diagnosis. Though it sounds like you're on top of that already. Are you in the UK or Ireland? I'm curious because your surname is Irish.

      Thanks again everyone! Twenty mins on here way more helpful than both Dr's combined 😅

      I would go for four weeks to ensure a valid test, if you can tolerate it, that is.
