you can buy them on amazon .com - just type in Triumph dining in the search and they will come up. I haven't bought mine yet (waiting to order with a few other things), but I've heard they are wonderful.

Love, love, love my Triumph Dining Cards!!! It really does help the restaurant staff to understand our situation and it is so much easier to have them read the card and say a few words about it then it is to try to explain it all without the cards. I ordered my cards and the dining guide right from their website and got it pretty quickly.

Good luck! :)

Thanks! I'm assuming they are specific to anyone with Celiac or Gluten problems, not just for adults. I wanted to order them for when we're out with my 3 year-old.

Yep, I have them too, and they're quite useful. I find, more than anything else, they help break the "I'm a busy server and don't want to listen to everything you have to say" or the "I can't remember everything you just said" barriers. It's a fabulous convenience device, and one that I'd prefer not to do without ever again! ;-)

I love them because it gives the server and chef something to look at, and it saves me time because I don't have to go as in-depth with my verbal explanation.

I just had a great Triumph experience last night. I was at a sushi restaurant which is famous for its appetizers and crazy sashimi concotions. I showed up with my triumph cards and my packets of gluten-free soy sauce.

The server took the card back to the chef, and they volunteered to make one of thier appetizers in a clean pan with my soy sauce. It was amazing, and so dellicious. I never leave home without them.

Love them, but I would recommend you make copies of them to give to waiters. We had a dingbat waiter who misplaced the card for some time before finally finding it. Karen

Thanks for the info on the Tirumph Dining Cards. I just got them in the mail yesterday. The rest. guide is awesome! We're in NJ on the PA border, so there's quite a few rest. that offer gluten-free menus that aren't that far from our house. This will certianly make going out with our little guy easier. I was thrilled to see that Charlie Brown's has gluten-free ice-cream! The only thing that's gonna be tough is the french fry thing. No one lists them as gluten-free b/c of non-dedicated friers...such is life! However, we have a Wendy's down the road from us! What a tremendous help this guide will be. Thanks again!

PS- I found a rest. down in the Outer Banks, from the rest guide, that isn't gluten-free, but will make (or at least attempt! :)) a gluten-free meal for him; we're going there at the end of June. There's also a vegetarian take-out rest. on the Outer Banks that does tons of gluten-free stuff without risk of cc that I found via the internet. I spoke to the owner a couple of days ago; he was very helpful and completely understood Zachary's dietary needs. :)

I am going to get those cards. Where are the places in the outer banks? I go down there to visit. The Outback there gave me croutons on my salad.. Thanks, LLee

      Get tested for vitamin deficiencies. Though neuropathy can be a symptom of celiac, it can also be caused by deficiencies due to poor digestion caused by celiac and could be easier to treat.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much...

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.
