Mongolian Bbq?

Would you trust eating at Monoglian BBQ (where you make your own stirfrys, and theres a big pit where they grill it up in front of you. Im in the beginning stages and not a lot of food agrees with me so I'm eating the basics- fruits,vegetables, and lean protein (soy and gluten seem to both give me a problem). When ive gone there in the past i usually just get vegetables and meat, so that way it works out- but it seems like a major cross containmination risk? I plan on callin them tomorrow...my friend is involved in a relay for life event there tomorrow night to raise money and my boyfriend really loves it...i was jus wondering if you guys have had problems there?

I bet the sauces have soy sauce which contains wheat. :(

If you are a recently diagnosed celiac or just starting the gluten-free diet, you need to stay away from restaurants for a few months -- those places will be pure poison for you and you need to give your intestines a chance to heal.

Also, it seems like you could be soy intolerant as well, you will need to avoid that for awhile (if not forever...)

Eat at home, eat safe meals and keep the meals simple (Baked Chicken with Olive Oil, Salt and Pepper), Steamed Rice (NO SOY SAUCE) and green leafy veggies (cooked).

Raw veggies will probably mess you up during the first few months of healing also.

Keep it simple until you get better and don't feel quite as many symptoms...

there is a mongolain bbq i used to go to and they were super careful about keeping the grill clean.. beacuse of most of the people that ate there were vegetarian .. so they would have half the grill for meat and half vegetarian..have seperate sticks for frying the veg and meat.. and they also scraped it and washed it down when ever someone asked...this was an independently owned place. not a chain.. so i dont know how a chain would be about cc.

and none of their sauces had wheat except their soy sauce and id just bring my own.

so maybe just ask on the phone if they are willing to wash the grill..or also some places are willing to just take your bowl in back and cook it in a pan.

I agree about not eating out for awhile till you start feeling better. However, when you do finally dare try Mongolian BBQ again - you can put your own sauces on your mix - just find out which ones have gluten and which ones don't. I'm sure a lot of them don't have gluten in it....and even using little or no sauce would be okay (they'd just add lots of water to cook with). I agree about having them clean off the grill before cooking your mix. (Make sure you go when it's not too busy though....unless you like getting evil stares from other customers! haha!) My hubby Loves Mongolian BBQ - so whenever we go visit my family, he always wants to eat there (usually gets it to-go though). I've eaten there a couple times - and never noticed any negative effects (however - I'm not very sensitive...so don't take my word on that). Good luck!

I think there is too much risk for CC there. They would cook your food on the same grill as everyone elses, with wheat based noodles, wheat sauces, etc. I doubt that they could clean the grill well enough to avoid any CC issues...

And I agree, avoid restaurants, at least until you are healthy, and have a strong grasp on the diet!

I eat at the same type place called genghis grill, I agree you might want to take a few months off eating out. Genghis grill has a bar of raw food and if you want sauces you add them, I never use them just salt and pepper , then I ask them to put a clean pan on the gril rather than cooking it on it to prevent cross contamintation, this helps the noddles stay out of my food, then serve it only plain brown rice..

The last time I checked Mongolians website there were only 2 of their new sauces we could have; the lemon and the spicy buffalo. Just make your plate and then tell the waiter that you have an "allergy bowl." They will take it to the back and cook it in a clean skillet. I just ate there last week..no problems.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      I had no idea there is a "Louisville" in Colorado!😉 I thought it was a typo because I always think of the Kentucky city--but good luck!
