I was thinking of asking for a private room/table and bringing my on gluten free tamari. i think the soup i have to avoid- and most likely the salad since i am sure their ginger dressing had gluten-soy sauce, but the filet and fried rice with my tamari should be fine right?

any tips to help me pull this off, if its possible are appreaciated.

I have triumph cards on the way, but am anxious to go. we were twice a week regulars and im in withdrawels <_<

You dining cards should be a great help.

With the two restaurants in our small town, duh, that's not one of them, so not too much help from me.

Try going during a non hectic time and discuss your options with the manager. Often, they are very helpful. But, as you know, outside of your own kitchen, there is always a risk. <_<

Shushi, with your own tamari, sounds good.

I hope that you can find something wonderful. :) And if you do, please share.

I've had great success a few times at a local hibachi place by me using my triumph dining cards.

I bring my San-J Wheat Free Tamari, give them my dining card and ask them to make my food in the back with a clean pan and clean utensils.

I sit at the hibachi table with everyone else, and they just bring my food out to me.

My favorite thing to get is the hibachi steak and shrimp and the fried rice.

Unfortunately, as you thought you can't have the soup or salad (atleast not with the ginger dressing. They usually bring me oil and vinegar). But I love going!!

i also went to a hibachi place near me and I also had success. i did the same thing as jkmunchkin. They made my food in the back with my soy sauce. It was really good. i got the hibachi chicken with fried rice. It was amazing!!!!!

      Sorry for rambling on so much. It was not clear to me from you first post that, although you have known for several years that gluten had been causing you distress, that you had already eliminated it from your diet.

      Because a close friend has had Celiac for years - I've eliminated gluten after the ER said all I had was a huge pocket of gas several years ago.  The gluten will be my 4th autoimmune disease.  Thanks so much for all your input!!!

      @ainsleydale1700, the additional test information you provided is very significant! Here is the important part: "This test detects IgG antibodies to tTG (tissue transglutaminase), and was performed because your IgA level is below normal. The immune response that occurs in celiac disease often leads to IgG antibodies against tTG." It looks to me that you may be a "seronegative" celiac. The frontline diagnostic tests for celiac disease are IGA tests, especially the tTG-IGA. However, another IGA test ("total IGA") was done to check you for IGA deficiency and you were found to be deficient. That means that the usual IGA tests done to diagnose celiac disease, such as the tTG-IGA, would not be reliable. That is why the IGG testing was done "reflexively" (which means in response to the results of a previous test, i.e., the total IGA test.). The IGG tests are not quite as reliable as the IGA tests for diagnosing celiac disease, meaning, there are more "other" possible causes for elevated IGG test scores. The IGG test did give a borderline positive result, however, so the physician ordered the endoscopy with biopsy to check for damage to the small bowel lining that would be caused by untreated (continuing to consume gluten) celiac disease. The biopsy showed no damage so the doc concluded you do not have celiac disease. However, the monkey wrench in the gears of the doc's conclusion is that he gave you permission to proceed with the gluten free diet which would have allowed for healing of the small bowel lining to commence. How long were you gluten free before the biopsy was taken? And how much damage to the small bowel lining was there to begin with? If the damage was minimal, it might have been fully healed by the time the biopsy was done. And the symptoms you describe involving vitamin and mineral deficiencies, tooth enamel loss, cessation of menses, neuropathy, constipation alternating with diarrhea . . . IMO all scream of celiac disease as opposed to NCGS.

      Yes, other health challenges and even severe prolonged emotional distress are thought to be potential triggers for the latent celiac genes. Let me encourage you to get tested for celiac disease as soon as possible so that you can get on with eliminating gluten from your diet, which itself will involve a considerable learning curve in order to become consistent at it. Even pills and meds can contain gluten because wheat starch can be used as a filler. It's important to know if you have celiac disease for two reasons. First, it damages the lining of the small bowel and, over time, wears down those billions of little fingers that make up the lining and produce a huge surface area for absorbing nutrients from the food we eat. The small bowel is essentially the place where all of our nutrition is absorbed. Long term undiagnosed/ignored celiac disease therefore results in nutritional deficiencies even when we are eating well. You don't need that with the other health issues you are dealing with.  Second, many or most people find it difficult to be consistent with the gluten free diet if they don't have a formal diagnosis of celiac disease. It is just too inconvenient and limiting and they begin to rationalize that, "Well, maybe my problems are due to something else." Human nature has a remarkable capacity to rationalize. It can be argued that you can cheat a little bit on the gluten free diet with NCGS because it only creates a little discomfort and distress but not damage. That doesn't work with celiac disease. So, I feel it is important to know which you are dealing with, especially in the case where you have not yet begun the gluten free diet and you are a good candidate for beginning testing. Many people make the mistake of experimenting with the gluten free diet before they get tested for celiac disease and then they have to go back on gluten for weeks or months, the so-called "gluten challenge", in order to achieve valid test results. By the way, autoimmune diseases tend to cluster. When you get one, it is very common to develop others in time.
