I always order the curry of the day at Thai Stop on N. May and Memorial and tell them "gluten free".  Great food that is gluten free.   Lunch for two with two drinks is around $17.00 which is a bargain in my book.  Try it!

In an article in the New York Times on Febrary 3, 2010, Dr. Sheila Crowe, a professor in the division of gastroenterology and hepatology at the University of Virginia, discussed the effect of Celiac Disease on fertility, which can affect both men and women.

Unexplained infertility, lower sperm count and mobility are a few of the side effects of untreated Celiac Disease.  Menstraul abnormalities, reduced ovulation, hormonal issues and miscarriages also affect women with untreated Celiac Disease.

If infertility affects you or someone you love, get the facts and discuss them with your health care provider.

Voted as "Tulsa area's favorite Italian restaurant" by Tulsa People magazine, Gina & Guiseppe's offers gluten free pizza and pasta.  Although I have not personally eaten there, I have heard it is great.  If you have any comments or reviews, please let me know, I would love to hear about your experience.  For now, I am just excited to have another Oklahoma option for dining out.

Take a look at the menu--it looks awesome!

Lonelyplate.org was launched by Sharona Schwarts, who up until a year and a half ago, was a News Coverage Manager at CNN's Washington Bureau which included producing stories on food allergies and working with chief medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta.   She is also a Mom of a daughter diagnosed with multiple food allergies, including wheat, peanuts, fish and more.

At this website, individuals dealing with food allergies and Celiacs can write reviews about restaurants they visit.  There are fantastic online resources reviewing restaurantes and hotels (Tripadvisor, Yelp, VirtualTourist; etc.), but when Sharona could not find one that consolidated our unique experiences in an easy, interactive, national platform, she launched her own!

Check out this interactive database to review restaurants, hotels, airlines, and kid-friendly venues. Wouldn’t it be great to give a shout out to a place that did a great job helping you have a safe meal or to warn others to stay away at all cost?
