Gluten Free Menu In Montana

Hi everyone,

This is my first post and I know I may be breaking the rules by posting here, but please understand that I'm just trying to help people and I won't plug my restaurant here again if I upset people.

I have emailed several celiac support groups in Montana multiple times in regards to me serving gluten free meals at my restaurant, and I have never heard back from anyone, so I am trying this forum. I have been reading this website for personal use for a year or two now.

I am a celiac, and have a 3 year old son with potential celiac and DH, (he was tested last week-just waitng for the results)

I have a degree in culinary arts and being a celiac, I needed to create tasty food because I am bored with food.

I have been serving gluten free pizza's and desserts for a year now, and I'm substituting gluten-free flours in wheat recipes on some of our current menu items.

I run dinner specials along with pizza's on Wednesday and Friday evenings, such as Shrimp Alfredo, Thai Chicken Kebabs, Enchilada's, and so on. The pizza's and desserts are selling very well to non-celiacs too, but I would like to draw in larger crowds of Celiacs and get there input on my food offerings.

I am very close to having a clubfoot (sandwich) bun created, but I want taste testers to tell me what they think. I prefer the taste of good french bread just like most other celiacs, so I want something tasty that will bring great satisfaction.

For those of you who don't know of Staggering Ox please check out our website listed below. There is no mention of gluten free items on the web page yet. I wanted to have an awesome well tested bun created

first since we are a sandwich shop.

I am willing to create a larger gluten-free menu, but I need gluten-free customer support and taste testers.

If you live in the Helena area, please email me and I will get back to ya.

      Finding out I’m coeliac whilst pregnant

      I am not a medically qualified person, but I think in your shoes I would do the same.     If you are in the UK, there are some really good gluten-free aisles now.  The largest range near where I live, currently, appears to be in Tesco's.

      @cristiana I’ve got an appointment with the midwife next week so will speak to her then. Waiting for gp to get back to me. I’ve made the decision today to cut gluten out regardless due to the risks I’ve read about

      Hi Katie I am so sorry you had two miscarriages in the past.  Try not to worry, though, because it could be that they were unrelated, perhaps? Well done for contacting your GP.  Is it possible that you can speak to your midwife in the meantime for a chat?    Cristiana

      @cristiana hi!  the things I’ve read online about having untreated coeliac disease whilst pregnant has really scared me and made me very hesitant to continue eating it. I feel like the best option might be to eliminate gluten from my diet now and then continue with testing after I’ve given birth. I’ve got in touch with my gp and am due to get a phone call back on Monday. Really worried now as I’ve had 2 miscarriages in the past

      @Katiec123 Welcome to the forum. I started to have symptoms related to coeliac disease (mouth ulcers, aura migraines etc) but no gastric symptoms during my first pregnancy.  That went to term, in fact, I was 10 days over and had to be induced.  But my second baby, born 21 months later, arrived at 33 weeks.  He's now doing well, and taller than all of us - it was just an earlier than expected arrival! I agree, it would not be wise to eat gluten  if there is any suspicion that you have coeliac disease during a pregnancy.   It would of course be good to know for sure, one way or another, because I believe coeliacs receive extra monitoring during pregnancy in many countries.   I think it may be well worth asking your GP if you can be referred to a gastroenterologist for a formal diagnosis asap.   By the way you spell 'coeliac' I'm guessing you are posting from the UK?  If that is the case, the NHS may rush things along for you, I suspect they will.  If it appears that they cannot refer you urgently, if you have the money for a private consultation it might be well worth it, as there is a trend here in the UK (I'm British) to diagnose coeliacs without the need for an endoscopy if the blood test results are compelling. Sounds like this is the case for you.  If you can see a gastroenterologist privately s/he might be able to diagnose you there and then (make sure you take a printout of your blood tests). Generally, there is a lot of support for coeliacs through the NHS, with a nutritionist, annual reviews and blood tests to check for diet compliance and health related issues, DEXA scans to check bone density, extra vaccinations where indicated and in some areas, certain gluten free food available on prescription.  So for lots of reasons, if you can get a diagnosis it's worth it. I hope all goes well with your appointment, let us know how you get on.
