There are tons of things to to besides go out to eat. I actually preferred stuff like going to Starbucks over eating out on dates before I had celiac.

Arcades are fun if you can find them... here in New England we still have a lot of old fashion ones that have Skeeball and such, tons of fun. My BF and I love day hiking and of course we carry food for that so its easy. We picnic, that way you can enjoy food and wine and know its perfectly ok to eat (needless to say you pack the basket). I love kayaking, wallking on the beach, an art fair. I've often ended these types of dates with coffee or a glass of wine so they seem like any other date and not focused around what I can and can't eat.

Just out of interest: do you guys (sorry, and girls...I meant it as a general term) usually date in food situations or do you avoid, say, dinner, and go to a movie instead, etc.?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

A couple "low-food" ideas:

* bowling

* mini-golf/driving range

* concert

* hiking

* picnic (ok, food related, but you bring your own food)

* museums/art shows

* at-home video night

* canoeing/kayaking

* something crafty (painting, pottery, etc...)

BOWLING RULES (I had my last birthday party at a bowling alley. I called ahead and they let me bring in gluten free cupcakes!)

Movies - I think its fun to "sneak in" my own snacks

Making dinner together - I really like to cook, so I realize this is not everyone's thing and a bit harder for a first date

Seeing a band/show - this is fun because there is down time between sets and you have something to talk about, the music

Doing a "touristy" thing in your own town/city - something you wouldn't normally do, but can be fun (I had a friend who did a duck tour as a joke, but had a good time)

Thrift store shopping - I think this is oodles of fun (can work with yard sales)

Apple picking! (or other seasonal thing outdoors - like a fair or carnival)

Pumpkin Carving!

I have a handful of places that I do feel comfortable eating at, so if it is a food thing, I suggest a place that is on my "turf"

(mostly mexican or thai)

Coffee or tea or a cafe setting can work - as others have suggested. (if it is a place with magazines, sometimes its fun to look at them together and use the covers to start conversations

I want to date a celiac girl now that I'm gluten-free. Is it wrong to narrow my search by allergy?

On another note, I think it would be cool to have a gluten-free meet-up spot, restaurant or club. Maybe I'll be the one to start it. Just to cut-out all the extra-work when you go out to eat and drink, a dedicated gluten-free establishment.

Soon to come.

I think it makes a lot of sense.

I definitely second that.

A side benefit would be that it would be an object lesson for non-celiac friends and family. A while back, the owner of a local gluten-free bakery addressed our support group. He mentioned that his customers not only included celiacs but also some of the top hotels in Phila. He sold his baked goods to them not as "gluten-free" baked goods but as "regular" baked goods. Hotel patrons were eating gluten-free breads, cakes and pastries and never knew the difference.

With a little effort, gluten-free food can be as good as if not better than regular fare. Consider turkey stuffing. If you forgo the packaged stuffing mix, you can try some really mouthwatering stuffing recipes that don't require wheat bread. Not only will you have gluten-free stuffing but you would probably get rave reviews.

      I'm pretty sure that in stores, you can find plenty of gluten-free options. But they are usually a bit more expensive.

      Hello @BunnyBrown and welcome to the forum. I cannot say that I have had the procedure you describe, but recently I did have general surgery and was routinely intubated.  That pain was what troubled me most after the operation, far more than the operation site.  It took a few days to really settle down, I was quite badly bruised. It was taking so long I was a bit concerned so asked the question on another forum. A few patients came back to me and said they had suffered the same.  I imagine in my own case possibly the throat got bashed about a bit,  maybe they had difficult inserting the tube?  I've suffered with a painful throat post-endoscopy too, but never as long as the intubation pain.   I hope you will be feeling better very soon.   PS BTW - love the name!  I saw this today in an Easter display in a shop and your name reminded me of it.🙂

      This wonderful, Anne. I think you have a point about why people disappear off forums.  I found the first few years post diagnosis a real struggle and frankly wondered if I would ever feel better (not to dishearten people, but just to say it can take a while longer for some folk to heal).  However, once my antibodies were back within normal range it really has made a big difference to my health.  I've chosen to stick around because I'm a Mod, otherwise I might have been one of those that disappeared, too!
