Personally I have some other issues and only found I can eat at a dedicated place called Across the Pond up in Richardson Texas in the DFW area. I used to enjoy eating a few other places but one has shut down and the other changed cooking methods so it is no longer safe for me. >.< it got to the point I started up my own Paleo based catering business and have been selling at vendor stalls in the local farmers market.

I ( and many of us) use the 'find me gluten free' app - you plug in the address of where you want to eat and the app will bring up potential restaurants in the area with reviews from actual people who ate there.  it's for real, I review on it all the time.  that being said, not many restaurants are perfect, choose wisely, ask questions and don't be shy when you're ordering out.  I tell people I am on a medically necessary diet and i'm not just trying to be healthy or lose weight.  I have had pretty good luck once you know what to look out for ;) 

some places, I just look at the menu and order a drink, lolz - one place in NJ was all kinds of fried, breaded, just mostly gluten filled menu.  just gave the menu back to the server and ordered a wine, lolz - no sense in tempting fate!!  good luck!!

I've been fine eating at Qdoba if I ask them to change gloves and use clean utensils. 

I've worked with our local Applebees too. They will clean the grill, change gloves...ect for me. So, haven't had any issues there either. 

We have a couple of pizza places that have dedicated stations for gluten-free pizzas and haven't had an issue there either. 

I've eaten out at these places about twice a month for the last several years without an issue. There's only one item on the menu at each that I can have and only because I've very specific with the restaurant staff on how to prepare the food and they accommodate me.

      Current careteam is still up in the air about my celiac thanks to me googling "celiac specialist" what popped  up was once known as a good name hospital back in the days. I went in for answers for my declining health, it was the autoimmune part that did me in, being a former bus driver.I read that in my medical records so easily downplayed, i refused the gluten challenge! Why the hell would I eat Gluten when im Celiac coming to them for answers when my body is falling apart? Glutenfree since 1994. They did unnecessary colonoscopy KNOWING im glutenfree. A celiac specialist would know that would be pointless to do if not eating gluten and it was done!Im so angery with that hospital for not explaining celiac disease and withholding information, Downplaying my ailments , mental distress,  causing more health issues, ect. All this could have been avoided If medical records were sent, when asked, explained and done properly. Im so angery.I do have the celiac dietitian on here in June and linked her up to my current health care yesterday, fingers crossed hopefully with that, the understanding of celiac is explained it's not just a food allergy will be understood.

      Thank you for sharing your experience, Florence. It’s important to clarify, though, that proteins like zein in corn, panicin in millet, and kafirin in sorghum are not considered gluten and have not been shown to trigger the same autoimmune intestinal damage seen in celiac disease. Some people with celiac disease do report symptoms with certain gluten-free grains, oats, or other foods, but that reflects individual intolerance or sensitivity—not a proven “gluten-mimic” effect that damages the small intestine. Certified gluten-free oats are considered safe for most people with celiac disease, though a small subset may react to avenin. If specific foods consistently cause symptoms for you, it makes sense to avoid them personally, but it’s helpful for readers to know that these foods are still medically classified as gluten-free and generally safe for the broader celiac community.

      It’s true that awareness of celiac disease can vary among physicians, particularly outside of gastroenterology, and many patients end up educating their own providers. Reaching out to someone you trusted for 25 years makes sense if you felt heard and supported. That said, celiac disease management often benefits from a team approach, including a knowledgeable primary care provider and, when needed, a gastroenterologist or dietitian familiar with gluten-related disorders. Advocating for yourself is not unreasonable—it’s part of managing a chronic condition. If your current provider relationship isn’t working, it’s appropriate to seek care where you feel respected and properly supported.

      I understand why that feels concerning. Some Schär products use specially processed wheat starch that has had the gluten removed to meet strict gluten-free standards (under 20 ppm in the U.S. and EU), which is why they can legally and safely be labeled “gluten free” for people with celiac disease. However, wheat must still be listed in the ingredients and allergen statement because it is derived from wheat, even though the gluten protein has been removed. For individuals with a true wheat allergy, these products are not appropriate—but for those with celiac disease, properly tested gluten-free wheat starch is considered safe under current medical guidelines. That said, it’s completely reasonable to prefer products made without wheat starch if that gives you greater confidence, and clearer front-of-package communication could certainly help reduce confusion for shoppers.
