Restaurants with Gluten Free menu options

Umm... gluten is a protein found in wheat and products derived from wheat (bread, pasta, etc.) I would hope that all the marinated meat that you buy from anyone would be gluten free. It is meat-not wheat

She said marinated meats. Some marinades contain soy sauce which has gluten.

Gluten is also present in rye, oats, barley, beer and other food additives. I just recently discovered that it can also be present in caramel coloring found in cola drinks. If you are interested you can check this out: http://www.celiac.com/articles/182/1...nts/Page1.html

Tavern 27 is a great tapas place and has gluten free options...

So what is Gluten anyway?

[beagle]

It gives the elasticity or stretch to dough. Since it is a protein, you can form an allergy to it just like you would to peanuts; sometimes a person's body reacts to gluten as if it is a foreign invader and responds to it like it would to a bacterial infection. It is tough to find a replacement for it in all kinds of baked goods especially bread. Also, wheat derived additives are put into many types of food that you wouldn't think have wheat in them. That's why most people find it hard to go gluten free.

How about places that have options for a vegetarian that is gluten free? My daughter usually makes do with salad - no croutons - but I'd love to find other options for her in a place that the rest of the family can also be happy.

For those who may not be aware, there are many people who have wheat allergies (gluten allergy) with the most severe cases being those with Celiac Disease.

As someone with a severe wheat allergy and eating gluten can and has put me in the hospital.

A gluten free diet does tend to me much more of a bland diet but luckily many restaurants offer gluten free foods. Even Olive Garden has a gluten free menu.....

It's more common than people think but some only have mild symptoms. If you have acid reflux, dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), or chronic cough ask your doctor to get an allergy panel.

Crepes Ooh La La in Wolfeboro offers gluten free crepes.

[Rattlesnake Gal]

Offers gluten free bread and waffles. Unfortunately the waffle iron and toaster is not dedicated for only gluten free items, so it my be risky for some.

Are the crepes made on a gluten free dedicated device or is it cleaned well before cooking the gluten free crepes?

Another problem that keeps me from partaking in ice cream other than soft serve these days is contamination from one flavor to another... Nuts.

Our griddles are heated and kept to a constant 440 degrees F. Any gluten residue is burned off. We use a different T trowel to spread the gluten free crepes. I specialized as an allergy nurse for 9 years and take food allergy and intolerance very seriously. My staff is properly trained and informed as to this important issue. We look forward to serving you a delicious gluten free crepe and we are equally careful about our serving ice cream to those who have nut allergies.

If you are here in the lakes region and will be staying for more than the weekend you can venture up to Plymouth Tenney Mountain Highway just past Walmart on the left is a Gluten Free bakery strictly Gluten Free she makes nothing else, her stuff is amazing right down to her homemade lasagna.

With My wife I have learned that the idea of burning off gluten residue doesn't always work. This has caused us grief a few times in our own home, as well as restaurants. A burned piece of batter, is just as dangerous. Things like griddles etc. always need to be cleaned and wipe down to remove any and all crumbs.

[Kara's Cafe and Cakery]

Kara's Cafe just started offering cookies, muffins and gluten free bread for sandwiches. We are open for breakfast and lunch seven days a week! Special order gluten free celebration cakes are also available.

Warm Regards,

Kara

I am a bit new to gluten free. Not exactly sure if I have Celiac's Disease or if I am allergic to wheat and barley. Either way, it is mostly the same result and restrictions.

Can a person with Celiac's eat french fries that were cooked with other foods that contained gluten? Thanks.
