The Outback has a gluten free menu upon request

McDonalds and some other fast food chains have gluten free products you can find on their websites.

I just read "Against the Grain: The Slightly Eccentric Guide to Living Well Without Gluten or Wheat" by Jax Peters Lowell. The author gives a ton of suggestions and helpful tips for eating out, cooking at home, etc etc etc. Plus the author has gluten-free cards you can photocopy in the back of the book that are translated into many different languages for those of us who love to travel internationally.

Eating out is always full of "land mines." The best thing to do is get familiar with places you can eat out in around you... For me those places are McDonalds, Fuddruckers & Wendy's. I tend to always order a burger, no bun. Also salads - minus the croutons. I love the fries at McDonalds, but the ones at Fuddruckers are cross contaminated with the onion rings, so I have to avoid those.

Basically, you need to call and ask at restaurants around you, and frequent those you trust! After a while they will get to know you and understand your needs.

Good luck!! :D

P.S. I had an experience at Wendy's last night where I actually FORGOT to order my burger without the bun... when I realized my mistake, it was too late! The boy making my sandwich was just going to remove it from the bun and give it to me, but I told the Manager (luckily standing right there :D ) that I could NOT eat that one since it touched the bun. HE thought I was just doing a "low carb" thing... I explained to him about celiac disease, and he was SO interested!! One more educated person out there!!! :D

Chick-fil-A also has a gluten-free list on their website. Eating out really is a challenge, but slowly you'll learn where the "safer" places are. Just be mindful and enjoy!

Yum...I love Chick-fil-A :P -Julie

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Aussienae · Posted

      Mine is definitely triggered by inflammation and stress! I do also have arthritis in my spine, but the pain is more in my pelvic area. Im sure i have other food intolerances or other autoimmune isues but the more I focus on it and see doctor after doctor, it just gets worse.  Best thing is get of Gluten! (I also avoid lactose). Try to limit stress and anything that causes inflammation in your body.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By ButWhatCanIEat · Posted

      Good morning,   I got an email about replies to this post. Some of my doctors had blamed a slipped disc for the pain I had and that contributes, but after meeting with a gastroenterologist AGAIN and trying some lifestyle modifications, I found out I have IBS and can't tolerate corn or excessive fructose to any degree. Cutting out corn AFTER having cut out all gluten containing products was a real pain but I feel much better now!

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.

      Lymph nodes

      By Soleihey · Posted

      Has anyone experimenced enlarged lymph nodes with celiac? Both in the neck and groin area. Imaging of both areas have said that lymph nodes are reactive in nature. However, they have been present for months and just wondering how long this may take to go down. Been gluten-free for about two months. Blood counts are normal.
