Ate Out Tonight

After we went to a nephew's first b'day party and a niece's baton solo we went out for supper. When I ordered I specifically told the waitress "Please do not give me any of the garlic bread, I can not eat anything with wheat, please write this on my ticket." She smiled and told me she did and left to take our order to the kitchen. She gave back a few seconds later and asked if I wanted my shrimp grilled or buttermilk battered? I smiled and politely said grilled I can not eat anything with wheat or wheat products. She left again but returned a few seconds later with my hubby's salad and placed it in front of me. She said I know you can not have bread but these are croutons. My hubby said that the salad is mine and the croutons are fine for me. She asked him if he would like my bread, he said sure and she brought it out for him. We are chuckling over this when my meal arrives. The grilled chicken looks tasty, the shrimp delicious, the plain potato fine, and the fresh steamed broccoli nice and green and covered with bread crumbs. I got her attention and asked if she could take my meal back to the kitchen and do something about the bread crumbs all over my plate. She left and returned a few minutes later with a new plate. It was fine and we ate and left. I chuckled because I found it so humorous. :lol:

Yeah, there's a lot of people that have NO idea what is in food. Unfortunately most of them work in restaurants.... I had to explain to someone what wheat is recently.

Oh my!! LOL!!! I highly suggest the Triumph Dining Cards (or some dining card that gets your point across). You just give them to your server or manager to take back to the chefs/cooks so that they understand the seriousness of your condition. I have been very pleased with how easy eating out has become with these cards now. Of course there is always a risk when eating out.

BTW, I don't work for Triumph Dining Cards or get paid by them, I just love their product!!

Everyone knows white bread isn't made from wheat...that's why all the restaurants ask if you want wheat bread or white bread.

( :lol: I couldn't even type that with a straight face. :P )

Isn't it scary how some people eat that crap every day and never have the thought, "hmm. I wonder what white bread is made out of" :blink:

Or even what white flour is made out of...

"oh brave new world that has such people in it" :rolleyes:

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By trents · Posted

      Your DGP-G is also high. The thing to do now would be to trial the gluten-free diet for a few months to see if there is improvement in symptoms.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Roses8721! How long were you off gluten before getting the celiac blood testing done? The testing is not valid after having been gluten free for a significant period of time. Many of your symptoms align with celiac disease.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By rei.b · Posted

      Hello, I am feeling frustrated. I have hEDS and lifelong digestive issues but my GI PA is very focused on my celiac panel and I just want to make sure that she should be focused on that because completely changing my diet seems to have worsened my symptoms.  Symptoms are constipation, diarrhea, and acid reflux with spicy foods and certain foods like tomatoes, bell peppers, and onions. I also don't have a gallbaldder as it was removed almost a year ago. This also exacerbated my symptoms. I did have joint pain from hEDS but that was already treated with low dose naltrexone about 4 months prior to going completely gluten free. Endoscopy was abnormal but inconclusive; basically showed some inflammation - which common with hEDS. I don't have any vitamin deficiency.   Celiac Panel Results: TTG-A <0.5 U/ML Reference Range: 0.5-14.9 U/ML NEGATIVE: <15 POSITIVE: =>15 DGP-A 72.0 U/ML Reference Range: 0.2-14.9 U/ML NEGATIVE: <15 POSITIVE: =>15 TTG-G <0.8 U/ML Reference Range: 0.8-14.9 U/ML NEGATIVE: <15 POSITIVE: =>15 DGP-G 24.0 U/ML Reference Range: 0.4-14.9 U/ML NEGATIVE: <15 POSITIVE: =>15 IgG-A-M Results: IMMUNOGLOBULIN A, QN, SERUM 165 MG/DL Reference Range: 87-352 MG/DL IMMUNOGLOBULIN M, QN, SERUM 164 MG/DL Reference Range: 26-217 MG/DL   What are your thoughts, internet? Are there any questions I should be asking the PA? Thanks!

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By Roses8721 · Posted

      Help. I’m spiraling. Years of extensive symptoms:  What could this be? Years of: Mildly elevated alk and alt Fatty liver Random days of feeling like I’m coming down w flu but no fever and nobody else in house sick Intermittent diarrhea Severe abdominal distension Long history of cavities and enamel deficiency Sound sensitivity Anxiety and depression Low libido Sun skin allergy Frequent fatigue ended up seeing PCP because I looked 8 mo preg. Started gluten-free diet then celiac serology negative. SW GI Dr dx me w celiac as I had been in bed for 3 days after eating gluten after cutting. GI said not to do biopsy because it was clear what was going on and added to chart. My spiral is not seeing anywhere this is done and want to see if anyone else has dealt w this. If not celiac idk what else I will do. Family history or celiac as well as a death related to this.
