100% Gluten Free Food Trucks

My mom, brother and I have been diagnosed with celiac for a while now (3+ years) and my mom has seriously MASTERED cooking gluten free (and she actually has corn, soy and sugar allergies as well).  She seriously is an amazing cook.  As you know eating out, even the many "gluten free" options, isn't fun.  You never know if you are going to go home feeling sick for weeks because of cross contamination.  I have found a few restaurants that I can eat at without feeling sick, but everywhere else we either eat before hand or bring our own food.  You know the deal.  

Anyways, we want to offer a solution to the "gluten free" option by starting a certified gluten free food truck with some of my mom's best recipes.  The food truck idea is taking off here in salt lake city and I was just wondering if you know of any 100% gluten free food truck businesses that have been successful since you know a lot of the gluten free scene.  I have been trying to do some research to see if this has been done before and if it can be successful.  Obviously I think it can be successful because if I knew of one in my area I would go there all the time just for convenience and for not having to make my food ALL the time.  It gets so old.

What a super idea. I would really like to know how you are doing your first year.  I used to attend the SLC GIG group and what a great group! I wish you the best of success.

I do not know of any gluten-free truck food but I think it is brilliant and you should give it a go. That is something I miss....being able to eat this type of food because, very often, it looks so good. I see them all the time around Fenway Park before a ball game and they also have some food truck events around here so they are popular.

Great idea!

In my opinion, the way to do it is offer delicious, fresh food that just happens to be gluten free.  The Celiac community will find out about it (and you certainly can say it on the truck, but don't highlight it), Your market of customers will simply be people who want to eat good, healthy, delicious food. Here in NY one of my favorite 100% gluten-free lunch places has a line out the door and I'll bet 80% of the customers have no gluten medical issues (I've run into friends there who I know can and do eat gluten).

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  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.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      CT with contrast.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
