I went to Bonefish Grill last night in Secaucus, NJ. It was a pretty good experience. They had a good selection of gluten-free meals and the waitress didn't look at me like I had three heads when I told her my meal needed to be gluten-free. She offered to bring me the gluten-free menu and was upset I had a print out. I had printed out my own from the website.

She went on to say how everything was prepared from scratch so I felt confident the chefs knew what they were doing to prepare my meal gluten-free. I had the Saucy Shrimp appetizer and the Mahi Mahi meal in the lemon butter sauce. Both were good although the sauce on the Mahi mahi was a little bland. They have other gluten-free sauces so when I go back I will try a different one.

The only two problems were small. The waitress offered up my shrimp app. as a good sauce to dip bread in. Which no one did until I was done with the shrimp. I know, a very small error on her part but it goes to show how others don't totally get it.

Also, the Creme Brulee was listed on the website as gluten-free and it wasn't. This was actually a plus on the waitress' part as she went in to check to see if it was gluten-free. She suspected it wasn't. Something to do with the vanilla extract they use made it not gluten-free.

Well, I did get a dessert as my friend who's son has celiac disease brought me a gluten-free black & white cookie from the gluten-free bread basket in Chester, NY. She didn't even know it was one of my favorite cookies - just a coincidence. My wife didn't even know. Anyway it was very good as I thought I would never have one of those suckers again. She also brought me a snickerdoodle cheese cake from the same place and that was good as well. My non celiac wife even agreed. It was my very unhealthy breakfast this morning. I know but we had to indulge when we get these treats - right?

And I concur, their food is amazing... my mom just came out to visit me at college this weekend for my gymnastics meet and brought a cooler full of food for me. Talk about spoiling me:-). I'm not typically a person that likes chocolate, but lately I've been craving it-- the chocolate bundt cake is to die for. It's quite rich though, it's going to last me quite a while (in the freezer of course). I'm savoring my peanut butter cookies, it was all I could do not to eat all of them in one sitting. The bagels of course are great, and I'm really excited to eat my muffins (chocolate chip, pumpkin, and banana this time), and speaking of those black and white cookies... when my mom went to buy all the food, the owner of the bakery said she simply couldn't go to visit me without a black and white cookie... and she didn't even know that those were probably my favorite cookie as a kid!

I'm going to be on a sugar high for the next week...... and enjoying every minute of it!

I also have nejoyed Bonefish Grill. They are owned by the same company that owns Outback and Carrabas.

I did not like Carrabas as well - thought the menu was too limited. Claire

I love Bonefish too, I've never had a problem them but I go over everything when I order and when the food is delivered. I agree that the staff there has been briefed on gluten issues, every time I've ever been in a Bonefish they have always known about gluten-free.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By trents · Posted

      My migraines generally have their onset during the early morning hours as well. Presently, I am under siege with them, having headaches all but two days so far this month. I have looked at all the things reported to be common triggers (foods, sleep patterns, weather patterns, stress, etc.). Every time I think I start to see a pattern it proves not to pan out in the long run. I'm not sure it's any one thing but may, instead, be a combination of things that coalesce at certain times. It's very frustrating. The medication (sumatriptan or "Imatrix") is effective and is the only thing that will quell the pain. NSAIDs, Tylenol, even hydrocodone doesn't touch it. But they only give you 9 does of sumatriptan a month. And it doesn't help that medical science doesn't really know what causes migraines. They know some things about it but the root cause is still a mystery.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Just a gluten free diet is not enough.  Now you have to identify and replenish your malnutrition.  Celiac disease is co-morbid with malabsorption syndrome.  Low vitamin D, Low Thiamine caused Gastointeston Beriberi, low choline, low iodine are common the general population, and in newly diagnosed Celiacs in the western culture its is more likely.  It takes time to heal and you need to focus on vitamins and minerals.  Gluten free foods are not fortified like regular processed foods.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By Sarah Grace · Posted

      Dear Kitty Since March I have been following your recommendations regarding vitamins to assist with various issues that I have been experiencing.  To recap, I am aged 68 and was late diagnosed with Celiac about 12 years ago.  I had been experiencing terrible early morning headaches which I had self diagnosed as hypoglycaemia.  I also mentioned that I had issues with insomnia, vertigo and brain fog.   It's now one year since I started on the Benfotiamine 600 mg/day.  I am still experiencing the hypoglycaemia and it's not really possible to say for sure whether the Benfotiamine is helpful.  In March this year, I added B-Complex Thiamine Hydrochloride and Magnesium L-Threonate on a daily basis, and I am now confident to report that the insomnia and vertigo and brain fog have all improved!!  So, very many thanks for your very helpful advice. I am now less confident that the early morning headaches are caused by hypoglycaemia, as even foods with a zero a GI rating (cheese, nuts, etc) can cause really server headaches, which sometimes require migraine medication in order to get rid off.  If you are able to suggest any other treatment I would definitely give it a try, as these headaches are a terrible burden.  Doctors in the UK have very limited knowledge concerning dietary issues, and I do not know how to get reliable advice from them. Best regards,

      @rei.b,  I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be.  I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse.  My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet.  It makes a big difference.   Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies.  So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms and reveals the underlying discomfort.  SIBO can cause digestive symptoms.  SIBO can prevent vitamins from being absorbed by the intestines.  Thiamine insufficiency causes Gastrointestinal Beriberi (bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or constipation).  Thiamine is the B vitamin that runs out first because it can only be stored for two weeks.  We need more thiamine when we're sick or under emotional stress.  Gastric Beriberi is under recognised by doctors.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test is more accurate than a blood test for thiamine deficiency, but the best way to see if you're low in thiamine is to take it and look for health improvement.  Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because the body can't utilize it well.  Try Benfotiamine.  Thiamine is water soluble, nontoxic and safe even at high doses.  I thought it was crazy, too, but simple vitamins and minerals are important.  The eight B vitamins work together, so a B Complex, Benfotiamine,  magnesium and Vitamin D really helped get my body to start healing, along with the AIP diet.  Once you heal, you add foods back in, so the AIP diet is worth doing for a few months. I do hope you'll consider the AIP diet and Benfotiamine.
