Just wanted to share, Big Bowl now has several entrees that can be made gluten-free. I was there this weekend and had the gluten-free pad thai--it was great! And my first pad thai in a restaurant since going gluten-free. If you're interested, their website is here: Open Original Shared Link Read about gluten-free under "letter from chef." Their food is great, thai/asian. Locations are in IL, MN, VA. Several in Chicago...

Ha ha Karen :) Big Bowel definitely sounds like a place where they would serve lots of gluten!

I went to a Big Bowl in Schaumburg, IL (near Woodfield Mall) and they had about 3 items on the menu, but said they could whip up a stir fry for me with what ever I wanted. At any rate, the server said that they are getting back to putting more gluten-free items on the menu.

Their Kung Pao Chicken is completely gluten-free. And it was Yummy! The server was very helpful and attentive. Loved it there, we will go back!

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
