We haven't found any restaurant with a gluten-free menu, but DiFebo's has offered to cook gluten-free pasta for us if we bring it in.

There's also a nice little health food store in Bethany Beach called Wholesome Habits (Route 1, Beach Plaza 302-537-0567) that has a very good selection of gluten-free items.

I work in bethany-at Bethany Blues BBQ- Not a whole lot of gluten-free on the menu but you can get ribs w/o sauce, mashers, greens, corn (on cob only) kids chix fingers (grilled-no breading), etc etc. (bring your own bbq sauce and salad dressing if you want) there is also an outback in rehobeth, de, as well as many crab houses (yum! and gluten-free) in the area. I did go to mancini's in fenwick island de, they have wonderful italian food (which i miss) and they made me one of their specialties on a bed of spinach in place of pasta. Oh, there is a new gluten-free coffee shop in the "shops of fenwick island" called Too Life-gluten-free smoothies coffee, snacks and a small but wonderful gluten-free shop. the owners there have been gluten-free for alot longer than me and would probably have more suggestions on gluten-free dining in the area. oh-have fun and if you do stop by for BBQ, see if i'm working I'd be able to point you to more gluten-free items on the menu. melissa :D

I just got back from Bethany Beach!

It was a VERY Celiac-friendly vacation spot. Too Life in Fenwick Island was wonderful - I'm so lucky that I literally stumbled upon it my second day there. Not only was I able to get a yummy gluten-free beverage, but I also picked up some muffins from Mr. Ritts while I was there. They also pointed me in the right direction for restaurants - The Big Easy (which is right across from Sea Colony, where I stayed) is a great place for Celiacs. The owner's family are all Celiacs! They can even do a special breading with gluten-free flour if you call ahead!

I too went to Di Febo's (sp?) and they were quite accomodating.

I was pleasantly surprised with Bethany Beach, and I must admit I was skeptical about going on vacation, going out to eat, and staying gluten-free. I'll definitely go back :D

I had just started a new thread in the dinning out section about a week ago telling everyone about to life and the big easy. Too bad you didn't see it before you went, but the fact that you stumbled on it is fantastic. :D Aren't the owners great? Super nice people!! I think their shop will get better and better as time goes on. Since they are so new they wern't stocked up on alot of things, but said they will be soon. While we were there they were even serving homade waffles for breakfast. :P:D

It's nice to know we can go more and more places and have great experiences!!

The last 2 vacations I have been on, have been gluten-free fantastic!!

Now...does anyone know of anywhere in Cape May New Jersey that's gluten-free?

Wendy,

It is really funny that I found this website and these posts after my vacation, but I do feel lucky for To Life. The owners were incredibly nice, and they had waffles the one morning I was there too! I'm a coffee-a-holic, but I usually stick with plain, black coffee, but at To Life I got a mocha latte with no fear! The owners said they had only been in business for 7 weeks and that they plan to start carrying sandwiches soon. I hope they have great luck!

Hi Lauren,

I know...Wow!

Can you even imagine? Eating out in restaurant and getting to order a SANDWICH? Unbelievable! :blink::lol::D

I might even be worth a day trip to the beach (I'm about 2-1/2 or 3 hours away) just to get one. :D

      Indeterminate transglutaminase iga

      By Kipman · Posted

      I did for a week, though that was 4 weeks before I had the test done. The doctor told me the lab rang her and said they hadn't seen results like it in their lab. Them being nearly all indeterminate that is. I also tested positive for a multiple connective tissue disease but when they did further testing it was all indeterminate too (I've only just realised that celuac is a connective tissue disease)

      So, it sounds like you may have already been avoiding gluten before the blood draw was done for the antibody testing. Is this correct?

      Test says no, but body says Yes?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Travel Celiac! The high total IGA does not indicate that your celiac disease is actively flaring up. Total IGA is not a test for celiac disease per se but rather is test given to determine if you are IGA deficient, which you are not. IGA deficient people will experience artificially low individual IGA antibody tests such as the tTG-IGA and can result in false negatives.  The other question is why is your total IGA count high? That can indicate other health issues besides celiac disease so I suggest you research that question and also talk to your physician about it. Here is an article that explains the various tests that can be run to detect celiac disease and the significance of the total IGA test: Having said all that, I gather that for some reason you are under the mistaken impression that, having been diagnosed with celiac disease some years ago, your recent antibody test should still show elevated levels if you actually do have celiac disease, at least when you have accidental gluten exposure. I think you misunderstand how this all works and what the testing is designed to detect.  When someone has celiac disease, the consumption of gluten triggers an autoimmune response that, typically, causes inflammation in the lining of the small bowel. This inflammation produces specific antibodies that can be detected by serum testing specifically designed to look for these antibodies. Upon the onset of celiac disease, it can take weeks or months of consistent exposure to gluten for the serum antibody levels to build up to the point where they are detectable by the tests. Once gluten is  removed from the diet, inflammation begins to subside and antibody levels begin to drop. An occasional gluten exposure will not result in restoring antibody levels to detectable amounts once they have receded to normal levels after going gluten free. Again, it takes weeks or months of consistent gluten ingestion for the antibody counts to reach sufficient levels to produce a positive test result. Yes, you still have celiac disease but it looks like from your recent tTG-IGA test result that you are doing a good job with the gluten free lifestyle.

      Thank you. Yes I was referring to total iga - it came back as <0.15 I've also had the deamidated gliadin peptide IgA and IgG both of which were indeterminate on 2 tests. Third test the IgG was <1. I'm having the biopsy in two days. Pretty much anything I eat apart from vegetables makes me quite sick now.

      Test says no, but body says Yes?

      By Travel Celiac · Posted

      New here, and came for answers to this.  I was diagnosed in the Summer of 2007, at the same time two of my kids also tested positive. Actual doctor, actual tests. Have lived as clean as possible for 17 years, with the inevitable accidents (and symptoms and recovery), none recent, thankfully.  I have accepted that I am celiac and have lived accordingly – as have my now-grown kids. Last week, along with loads of other tests, my primary ordered a Celiac Disease Antibody panel and I just saw the results.  The summary stated "no antibodies detected," although my IgA total was quite high at 425.  The Tissue Transglutaminase IgA was less than <1.0.  My question is whether antibodies would be found in my body after all this time living gluten-free? To be clear, if I get gluten and do NOT know it, I will get sick later no matter what. So any psychological element is right out of it; I get nailed every time if there's gluten in my food. Later, we will trace everything and find it.  Small wonder I work so hard to keep gluten out of my diet. I am a senior citizen, and watch my health very carefully.  But now this test seems to indicate I don't have celiac disease... or do I?  LIke the title says, the test says no, but my body says yes and has for 17 years. Any thoughts on what's going on?  Happy to answer question. Thank you.
