I Finally Ate Out.

I just want to share my happiness - I am sure you can all relate! I have been gluten free for about six weeks, and have had so many ups and downs. Usually when I go anywhere, I bring tonnes of snacks to avoid eating out.

Well, my mom and I were spending a whole evening out and we decided to take a risk and eat at Carraba's (and as a treat, because we don't have one close to our house).

Guys, I didn't get sick. I AM SO HAPPY!!!!!!! How enlightening, eh? DOesn't that make you just feel like 100000000$?

It's been so long since I haven't come home from a restaurant in pain and tears.

I'm glad that you didn't get sick! I've eaten out lots of times without getting sick; however, there have been a few bad experiences <_< . Now I just know which places to avoid :)

I ate out three times last week (celebrated getting a job, date with my husband, and lunch with my friend...usually don't eat out that much though!) at Pf Chang's, Don Pablo's, and a local restaurant and I had great experiences all three times-and I'm ultra sensitive and will know it very shortly after eating any gluten. Makes you feel a little more normal and it always puts me in such a good mood! I probably won't eat out for a week though as with my luck, I'd get 'glutened' the next three times! I have yet to try Carraba's so I'm happy to hear that!

I wish I had PF Chang's around here. I would love quality Chinese food from a place with an actual educated menu and staff.

Any other recommendations of places?! Now I'm on a roll.

      And the fact is, no two celiacs will necessarily respond the same to gluten exposure. Some are "silent" celiacs and don't experience obvious symptoms. But that doesn't mean no harm is being done to their gut. It just means it is subclinical.

      Thank you, Trents.  I appreciate your helpful and friendly reply. It seems more likely to be a bug.  It has been a pretty severe bought. I feel that I don’t have enough experience to know what signs my little one shows after exposure to gluten.

      Hannah24, be aware that if you are on a gluten free diet, you will invalidate any further testing for celiac disease (except genetics) and would need to go back to eating significant amounts of gluten for weeks or months to qualify for valid testing.

      Hello, @Hannah24 Have you had a DNA test done?  Celiac Disease is genetic.  You must have at least one gene to develop celiac disease.  You don't have to be consuming gluten for a genetic test.   Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can cause false negatives.  Some lucky people are seronegative, but still have celiac disease.  Peripheral neuropathy, tingling in hands and feet are symptoms of vitamin deficiencies.  Vitamin C, Thiamine B1, Niacin B3, Pyridoxine B6, and Cobalamine B12 can each cause peripheral neuropathy.  These same vitamins are needed to produce blood cells.  Most undiagnosed Celiacs suffer from nutritional deficiencies. The DNA test would be helpful.

      We do hear of cases of remission but they generally eventually revert back. I wouldn't push your luck.
