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.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after eating them. If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      By trents · Posted

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.
