Eating Out In Toledo, Ohio

Hi Everyone, I am brand new to this message board (I was diagnosed with Celiac on September 6, 2005) and I am very excited to talk some of you who probably know so much more about this than I do. So far I haven't had too much of a problem shopping and making meals at home, but eating out really scares me. I've had some really good experiences and some not so good ones. I live in Toledo, Ohio and so far have only found Outback Steakhouse as the only "safe" restaurant to eat at. However, this restaurant is a little on the expensive side. Where do you guys eat and what dishes do you order?

Also, what are some safe candies to eat? I've been craving sweets but most seem to irritate my stomache. What are some good suggestions?

One more thing....is pop safe to drink? It seams like some of the dark sodas bother me.

Thanks for your help.

-Angie

Angie,

You can eat at Carrabas

Here are the locations...

Toledo (419) 861-2200

3405 Briarfield Blvd., Maumee, OH 43537 Menu 0.00m

Southgate (734) 284-5339

14805 Dix-Toledo, Southgate, MI 48195

Steakhouses are good choices...

Seafood can be ok too (just ask for food to be grilled or cooked in a separate pan with lemon, olive oil and butter)

Baked potatoes are almost always ok -- so are steamed veggies (no seasoning)

Hope this helps....

Biaggis and Blue Pacific Grill at Levis Commons have gluten free menus!

Also Applebees although I'm not convinced they're very thorough because I've had problems there.

For sweets pretty much any soft serve ice cream is good and Wendy's has a lot of gluten-free options including frostys!

Oh and some dark pops have caramel coloring that contains gluten. Pepsi sometimes bothers me but Coke does not. When in doubt call the company or check their website. Kroger's website has an extensive online list of which of their products are gluten-free.

You are responding to a really old post. The posters probably haven't been on this site in years.

Soda may bother you but it does not contain gluten. This is a post about restaurants. Check the Product Section for info on pop or other products. Check the date on posts as product info can change over the years.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.

      Is it gluten?

      @par18, no, Scott's use of the term "false negative" is intentional and appropriate. The "total IGA" test is not a test used to diagnose celiac disease per se. The IGA immune spectrum response encompasses more than just celiac disease. So, "total IGA" refers to the whole pie, not just the celiac response part of it. But if the whole pie is deficient, the...

      This may be the problem. Every time you eat gluten it is like giving a booster shot to your immune system, telling it to react and produce antibodies again.

      Scott, I am mostly asymptomatic. I was diagnosed based on high antibodies, low ferritin (3) and low vitamin D (10). I wasn't able to get in for the biopsy until 3 months after the blood test came back. I was supposed to keep eating gluten during this time. Well why would I continue doing something that I know to be harmful for 3 more months to just get...

The IGA immune spectrum response encompasses more than just celiac disease. So, "total IGA" refers to the whole pie, not just the celiac response part of it. But if the whole pie is deficient, the spectrum of components making it up will likely be also, including the celiac disease response spectrum. In other words, IGA deficiency may produce a tTG-IGA score that is negative that might have been positive had there not been IGA deficiency. So, the tTG-IGA negative score may be "false", i.e, inaccurate, aka, not to be trusted.

      Scott, I am mostly asymptomatic. I was diagnosed based on high antibodies, low ferritin (3) and low vitamin D (10). I wasn't able to get in for the biopsy until 3 months after the blood test came back. I was supposed to keep eating gluten during this time. Well why would I continue doing something that I know to be harmful for 3 more months to just get this test? So I did quit gluten and had the biopsy. It was negative for celiacs. I continued gluten free with iron supps and my ferritin came back up to a reasonable, but not great level of around 30-35.  Could there be something else going on? Is there any reason why my antibodies would be high (>80) with a negative biopsy? could me intestines have healed that quickly (3 months)?  I'm having a hard time staying gluten free because I am asymptomatic and i'm wondering about that biopsy. I do have the celiacs gene, and all of the antibody tests have always come back high. I recently had them tested again. Still very high. I am gluten free mostly, but not totally. I will occasionally eat something with gluten, but try to keep to a minimum. It's really hard when the immediate consequences are nil.  with high antibodies, the gene, but a negative biopsy (after 3 months strict gluten-free), do i really have celiacs? please say no. lol. i think i know the answer.  Asa
