Bibibop

I was wondering if anyone else had negative experiences with Bibibop.  It’s 100% gluten free and so I’ve tried it a few times.  I love the sweet potato noodles in particular but every time it makes me feel awful!  I’ve had terrible heartburn all day, diarrhea, felt sick after eating.  I thought it was just happenstance but as it’s happened 3 times, I am going to swear off.  I just wondered if anyone else had this experience eating there.  I read another site suggest soy was an issue so I can explore that but I’m eating soy from other meals without issue.

I haven't had that specific company's version of sweet potato noodles, but it's a bit hard to believe that in a restaurant setting they could guarantee that any dish is 100% gluten-free, due to cross contamination issues in the restaurant setting. Do they use soy sauce in other dishes? Do they also have wheat noodle and other wheat dishes? If so, cross contamination is very possible.

The entire restaurant menu is supposed to be 100% gluten free Nutrition

Is it possible you have other food intolerances?

It could be possible, I’m sure.  I probably need to try tamari sauce at home more to see if it makes me feel bad.  I didn’t think I had any issues with soy but then, I didn’t realize gluten was a problem either.

I think any restaurant, even ones that claim to be 100% gluten-free, can still have issues from time to time. As you can see here by the number of recalls for "gluten-free" foods, stuff happens:

It might also be a good idea to take a break from eating there for while, and when you go back pay attention to see if you have any issues.

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      A lot to think about here. Does anyone have any recommendations for third party laboratories that will do full panel celiac screens private pay in the U.S.?

      You don't need an official diagnosis to request a gluten-free diet in either a hospital or nursing home--this can be requested by anyone. The higher costs associated with existing conditions for life insurance is a reality, and regardless of your politics, it could become a reality again for health insurance in the USA. For many this could make health insurance unaffordable, thus, everyone who is undiagnosed should understand such potential consequences before they go the official diagnostic route. As mentioned, once it's on your medical record, it won't go away.
