It seems like in NYC cupcake cafes are emerging everywhere (Magnolia's, Billy's, Crumbs, etc.), unfortunately they are off limits to people with Celiac Disease and other food allergies. However, I was reading this week in Time Out New York magazine that there is a new cupcake cafe called, Babycakes. All of their cupcakes are gluten free, egg free, dairy free, and free of refined sugars. They are made with very healthy ingredients too. The bakery is open fairly late (until about 10pm) and is located on 248 Broome Street (between Ludlow and Orchard Sts.). I haven't tried it yet, but I most likely will soon. You can see pictures of the cupcakes at Open Original Shared Link . They look very good! Has anyone tried this place yet? If so, what did you think?

OH MY GOD!!!!!! :D

Im so happy I joined this site!!! You learn new things all the time. I was soooo happy to read about a gluten-free Cupcake bakery!!!!!!!!! I havent had a true cupcake in 7 years!!! How did they taste???

I live in NYC. I love Broome St/Bleeker, etc... Will def. go check it out asap. BTW, theres a place close by called Risotteria and they have lots of gluten-free food (including a killer brownie!!!!). Try it out if possible.

I found about this through a web site called CeliacChicks.

This is soooo awesome to exchange gluten-free places in NYC........

Ive heard of a few others, never tried them though.

Lately Ive been eating the gluten-free food at PF Changs. UNBELIEVABLE gluten-free food---what a feeling eating gluten-free Chinese food that doesnt taste gluten-free at all!!!!!!! :o ).

Im so excited :lol:

To mandigirl-

Hey, I've been to Risotteria--the best gluten-free restaurant in NYC... Risotteria was trained by the GFRAP (Gluten-free restaurant awareness program). The GFRAP has many other restaurants certified as being trained to cook gluten-free:

Someone else mentioned Happy Happy Happy, a bakery not on this list, but one that serves gluten-free food, nonetheless: Open Original Shared Link

The cupcakes at Happy Happy Happy are awesome, but I'll definately try this one to. Funny you should post this though, I was just thinking today about how much I miss Crumbs.

      Weak positive blood test and marsh type 1

      By trents · Posted

      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.

      How to navigate living with dermatitis herpetiformis

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      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.

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