Re: blue cheese & pasta pomodoro (wasSan Francisco GF Eats - 1st draft)

[Guest guest]

My gi told me about pomodoro deciding against a gf menu a couple of months ago. I don't know if that's changed.

As for blue cheese - according to my gi (who is very knowledgeable and acts as the gi expert for a camp for kids with celiac), it is completely and totally fine for a gf diet. I've been eating various blue cheeses without any problems. American blue cheeses (even artisanal brands) tend not to be started with bread mold; but even for those that are, my gi assured me that it is unlikely gluten would be transferred in the mold... Of course, everyone should do what feels right to them, but so far my gi has never steered me wrong!

Blue cheese is usually a no-no because the mold used is grown on bread

I think I might have talked to the pasta pomodoro chef you are

referring to at that celiac event last december. They stopped doing gf

because they were having cc issues and needed to nail down more

logistics and training (collanders for the pasta etc). At the time he

said they were still working on bringing back a gf menu but that was a

while back... Have you heard this news recently? That would be a

bummer.

Is your GI doc in San Francisco? And someone you would recommend for adults or

kids of both? If so, would you mind sharing his/her name & contact info?

Thanks,
