Hi,

I suggest not eating at any restaurants for the first 6 months.  It takes time to learn the gluten-free diet.  Also healing is not instantaneous and can take months to years.   The less exposure to gluten in your diet the faster you will heal/recover.  If you have to go to a restaurant take some food with you to eat.  Things like apples, oranges, hard boiled eggs, peanuts, etc are fairly easy to carry around.

If you can stick with whole foods you cook yourself at home it's best.  Gluten is in many of the processed foods at stores.  Some are now labeled gluten-free but they are usually $$$ and not as good for you as the original gluteny foods are.  Some things that work well for gluten-free are Mission corn tortillas and Aldi brand gluten-free wraps.

Everything the GFinDC said.  ?. Go to McDonalds and just order a soda or coffee for now.    Enjoy your grandkids.  

Keep eating gluten until ALL testing is complete.  This is critical!

What the others have said!

All restaurants are risky places for sneaky gluten to contaminate your food. If they still have apple slices you can eat those! I think the plain vanilla soft serve is also ok if you can eat dairy.

Some celiacs eat the fries because they’re done in their own fryer but many have gotten sick that way.

      From their website I see "organic barley leaf powder" as an ingredient. Keep in mind that the gluten is in the kernel, and not in the leaves. https://drinkag1.com/about-ag1/ingredients/ctr

      Before the rise of social media we were well known by a lot of doctors and were recommended by many, especially our Safe & Forbidden Lists, but as doctors get younger and younger this is probably not happening as much as before.

      Thanks Scott I will definitely check my vitamins and minerals to see what I am missing so then I can supplement. I was very concern about my Meniers syntoms and i tryed to find some alive. Now im just realizing that my celiac is provably the root cause of my Meniers none of the 12 doctors I saw told me anything about this.  This web site is so helpful, thanks to people like you we can get answers.

      Vitamin D deficiency can contribute to rib pain. Chest pain stemming from the ribs ccould be costochondritis, which involves inflammation of the cartilage connecting the ribs to the breastbone. This pain can range from mild to severe, potentially mimicking heart attack symptoms, and is often worsened by breathing or movement. Other potential causes include muscle strain, rib fractures, or even referred pain from other conditions.  It will also help to chose vegetables low in omega 6.
