Any other young adults in the New Haven CT area that would be interested in getting together with another recently diagnosed PhD student for support and doing fun things that are 'celiac friendly'?

Maybe. Would be a roadtrip. E-mail me on the board if you'd like to discuss. I'm probably near your age.

I go to school in Fairfield and I'm living up here for the summer. Know any details yet?

Hi! I'm moving to New Haven to start a Ph.D. next month and I would love to meet up to find some celiac friendly restaurants or cook.

Hello. I have just moved in to New Haven to start a PhD as well. I have found the local restaurants sorely lacking, unfortunately. I would love to get together with other local celiacs (particularly other grad students) to cook and discuss. Let me know when you get into town. I would be happy to help to organize something a little more formal as well, if you're interested.

In New Haven, Foster's is pretty accommodating (they will even do gluten-free birthday cake with advance warning), but there are knowledge gaps, last time we were there no one seemed to realize miso often (or perhaps always, depending on your view & the source of info) contains gluten.

Ibiza did a great job with warning when I was part of a group meal there this spring. They seem very aware of food issues, someone else at our table had a shellfish allergy but didn't realize until he sat down that it was an issue with the night's menu, they were able to make him a substitute course on the fly.

Cafe Istanbul- I ate cleanly there at a drop-in meal. The waitperson wasn't familiar with celiac but picked up very quickly & I felt comfortable.

A recent (July 30) post on 'Please Don't Pass the Nuts' blog said Clair's Corner Copia has a gluten-free menu.

Happy eating! I am semi-close by, in Fairfield.

I just moved to New Haven for grad school as well, and was diagnosed about a week before I moved here. Any out there willing to pass along info/meet to chat about living and eating gluten free?
