Took my partner tonight out for a birthday dinner. It's the first time we've been out to eat since we were diagnosed a year ago. Actually the second time but the first, last year, was a disaster.

It was wonderful! It was the one on rt 611 in willow grove right near the tpk and it is in a strip mall with a Staples (hard to see the sign). I asked for the manager (Mike I think) when we first walked in to explain our situation. Before I had gotten more than a few words out he said ' Oh, no problem. Let me seat you with these regular menus so you can start looking and I will bring over our gluten free ones.' I was so surprised. He was more than prepared. He explained some of the differences in the menu to us and let us know he would alert the kitchen. The menu was another surprise. 3 of the 4 fish sauces they have are gluten-free, some chicken and meat dishes, some delectable appetizers and the salad. We were able to have a real meal (except for dessert) He also alerted our waitress Liz, who said she would personally make sure our meals were properly prepared. It turns out her mom is a celiac. We thought that was the reason for her wonderful service and knowledge. Nope! It seems the staff is actually trained that way. When 2 different servers brought out some of our dishes, we had a few questions. They said 'wait, don't touch anything yet and let us check'. They were back almost instantly from the kitchen with the answers we needed.

From the moment we walked in the service was superb and all the staff seemed well educated about celiacs. Since it was a birthday meal we pigged out and tried lots of things and neither of us got sick. Here's what we had...

Bacon wrapped scallops (there were 4 and huge!) Saucey Shrimp (our favorite and enough for 3) house salad w/ house vinegarette (comes automatically with pine nuts and not croutons) All our fishes were nicely grilled, VERY fresh(I'm fussy) and we also had the lemon sauce andthe mango salsa with them. The garlic mashed potatoes were out of this world, the honey ginger squash tasty, and steamed fresh veggies were done just right. Another friend had the non gluten-free pork chops and loved them and they were also huge.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED and next sunday we are trying jules in doylestown.

Ciao :D

      Blood Test for Celiac wheat type matters?

      I'm not saying that some celiacs won't need it, but it should be done under a doctor's supervision because it can cause lots of problems in some people.

      Hello, just popped in my head to ask this question about medications and celiac? I have always had refurse reaction to meds since I can remember  of what little meds my body is able to tolerate. I was taking gabapentin 300mg for a week,  in past I believe 150? Any ways it amps me up not able to sleep, though very tired.However I did notice it helped with my bloating sibo belly.I hate that my body is that sensitive and medical doesn't seem to take seriously. Im STILL healing with my skin, eye, and now ms or meningioma ( will know in April  which)and dealing with this limbo nightmare. I did write my name, address ect on the reclamation but im not tech savvy and not sure if went through properly. I called my city representative in Stanislaus County and asked if theres a physical paper i can sign for proclamation for celiac and she had no clue about what I was saying, so I just said I'll go back on website.

      trents:  Why some can tolerate european bread but not american bread.     I take 600 mcg a day.  Right in the middle of the safe range.   Groups at Risk of Iodine Inadequacy Though though the NIH does not specifically list Celiac Disease in this group, they state: "Iodide is quickly and almost completely absorbed in the stomach and duodenum. Iodate is reduced in the gastrointestinal tract and absorbed as iodide [2,5]."  That would certainly include malabsorption of Iodine due to Celiac Disease with resultant Iodine Deficiency. Vegans and people who eat few or no dairy products, seafood, and eggs People who do not use iodized salt Pregnant women People with marginal iodine status who eat foods containing goitrogens Deficiencies of iron and/or vitamin A may also be goitrogenic [51] https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/Iodine-HealthProfessiona   1
