About GlutenFreeLI.com

I was toying with this idea for the past year or so, of creating a website dedicated to being 
Gluten-Free on Long Island, NY and then decided to start with a blog (www.glutenfreeli.blogspot.com *), and in July 2008 I've turned it into a full-blown website so here I am! *blog name updated to be just "LI" from "LongIsland*

I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease in the summer of 2005. Ever since then I have been on my search for the best Gluten-Free foods, places to eat, shop, recipes, and everything having to do with a Gluten-Free Diet (a diet free from Wheat, Rye, Barley and most Oats). I began by compiling a list of places where I shop, eat, find deals, and order GF foods from. When I was first diagnosed it was scary, and most of my "web searches" turned up restaurants in NYC, which was great as I am a frequent visitor to NYC, but I wanted to find more options local, and  would like to help out others on LI to help with some of the "investigation" of GF products!

If you have any great finds that you would like to pass along, please do!  
Send e-mail to : Info@GlutenFreeLI.com 
I will try to be accurate and up-to-date, but I also feel I must offer a disclaimer: None of the information I will be posting should be treated as medical advice. Also, GFLI cannot take responsibility for errors or misinformation that might appear here. I encourage all readers to confirm information to their own satisfaction. I am not responsible for any information found on links I have posted. This site is intended to help simplify any web searching you would do on your own and listing it on one place as well as "successes" that I have found out there. Obviously everyone is different, so please use your own judgment.

And as always, please confirm all information with restaurant managers prior to eating at any of the listed establishments.

Some of the pages are still under construction: Beyond LI and Celiac Info so keep checking back, as I will be updating them shortly!
