Is There A Gluten Free Yelp?

I thought I saw someone on this forum mention that they had posted a review about a restaurant where they got sick. If there is a site where celiacs can post whether or not they got sick from eating supposedly gluten-free food at a restaurant, that would be very helpful! And, of course, if people can post when they DON'T get sick, that's very helpful too. Does anyone know if there's a site like that somewhere?

It was me that posted!

 

I've used Yelp, but I am not aware of a dedicated Yelp site for gluten-free.  I've posted just one review about a local Chinese restaurant who goes out of their way to make gluten-free dishes for our family.  

 

I did use the "Find Me Gluten Free" website to post a review just this week concerning Red Robin.

 

I'm the person who did not have abdominal issues prior to my blood test.  Now, months later after being on a strict gluten-free diet, abdominal symptoms hit me hard (besides body aches, headaches, fatigue) after my recent restaurant glutening.  

 

When it's very nice restaurant and the chef and manager come out to talk to me, I feel pretty confident that my food will be gluten-free and chances for cross contamination will be low.  The same for burger joints (that sell only fries and burgers) where I can WATCH them change their gloves and make my burger!

I think Find Me Gluten Free is your best resource for dining out, rather than yelp,

I post regularly on FMGF as do many others.

Thanks for the responses! I'll go look at "find me gluten free" before we try eating out again. It helps to know when people have already tried a place and NOT gotten sick so you can be pretty confident it's safe!

      Hi yes! I was diagnosed 10 years ago through a biopsy. I’ve been gluten free ever since but no one I’m around is gluten free. I sometimes wore a surgical mask in the kitchen. but I believe particles were still getting through. I’ll definitely look into n95 instead. thanks for the reply.

      Ya I used to react to iodine, but it doesn't bother me anymore after strict adherence to a gluten-free diet for many years now. I am happy to report that for the first time ever in my life, a probiotic formula is not making me break out, but actually seems to be helping. The strains in this formula have been specifically tested to help with skin issues. It is gluten and dairy free also.

      @Whyz, I take a combination of Thiamin (Benfotiamin), B12 Cobalamine and Pyridoxine B6 for my pain and headaches.  Really works well without hurting the digestive tract.  Riboflavin B2 also helps with migraines.  Most newly diagnosed people have vitamin and mineral deficiencies.  Check with your doctor and nutritionist.   If you follow the updated gluten challenge guidelines, you can wait until two weeks (minimum) before your appointment, then eat lots of gluten, like six slices of gluten containing bread or "name your poison".   Here's the Updated Gluten Challenge Guidelines: Recommended intake of gluten should be increased to 10 grams of gluten per day for at least two weeks. Or longer. While three grams of gluten will begin the immune response, ten grams of gluten is needed to get antibody levels up to where they can be measured in antibody tests and changes can be seen in the small intestine.   Keep in mind that there are different amounts of gluten in different kinds of bread and gluten containing foods.  Pizza crust and breads that are thick and chewy contain more gluten than things like cake and cookies.   References: https://www.beyondceliac.org/celiac-disease/the-gluten-challenge/ And... Evaluating Responses to Gluten Challenge: A Randomized, Double-Blind, 2-Dose Gluten Challenge Trial https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7878429/?report=reader  "In our study, limited changes in Vh:celiac disease (villi height vs crypt depth - aka damage to the small intestine)  following 14-day challenge with 3 g of gluten were observed, in accordance with Sarna et al.  While the 3 g dose was sufficient to initiate an immune response, as detected by several biomarkers such as IL-2, the 10 g dose was required for enteropathy within the study time frame. Based on our data, we would suggest that gluten challenge should be conducted over longer durations and/or using doses of gluten of ≥ 3 g/day to ensure sufficient histological change can be induced." Keep us posted on your progress!

      I don't believe that existing life insurance policies require such notifications--health checks are typically done before such policies are obtained. I believe it would primarily affect any new policy you get, and perhaps any policy renewal.

      You could go gluten-free now, and then start eating lots of gluten for at least 2 weeks before your endoscopy--just be sure to tell your doctor about this beforehand. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, it is further evidence of celiac disease and/or non-celiac gluten sensitivity.  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.
