My family took me to Bone Fish Grille tonight for my birthday. I researched the restaurant before I went, they had a gluten free menu. I went over it with our waitress. It is a top of the line restaurant so I thought I was safe. I started with their gluten-free garden salad w/citrus herb vinegarette dressing, it was lucious. Then I had the gluten-free filet mignon, I took 3 bites and had to go to the restroom - my night was over from there. That was almost 4 hours ago and I'm still sick. Where did I go wrong? Could it have been the salad dressing? If anyone has any insight to this I would sure appreciate it. I go to the gastroenterologist on Tuesday. I'm ready to give up...

They might have mixed the salad in a contaminated bowl. With that chain (outback, bonefish etc) I know at least outback mixes their salads in a bowl usually. You have to ask them to use a clean one so that there are no crouton crumbs that get into your salad. Sorry you are sick.

Thank you so much Jessica. I have been going through websites trying to break down all the ingredients seeing if there was something I missed. I appreciate your thoughts. Janet

The other possibility might be that the steak was cooked on a grill that hadn't been cleaned. Most of the issues I've had eating out seem to have come from that kind of cross-contamination problem -- I was skeptical about being that sensitive at first and wasn't careful about mentioning the cross-contamination issues to the server, but two rather traumatic glutenings finally got me to wake up and smell the coffee.

I am so sorry you got sick :( Eating out is always risky, no matter where you go. My guess would be cc with the salad or the steak (susupect salad since you hadn't had much of your steak). I have had horrible experiences eating out and great ones. I feel like I am in Vegas whenever I eat out!

I hope you feel better soon.

I agree about the cross-contamination too. It's 12:11am and I am still sick. I think my days of eating out are over. The table next to us the folks stared at me - I was so humiliated! Hez, that made me laugh...I can't eat at a fine restaurant but I know I can digest the #7 combo at Burger King <_<, how wierd is that! Janet

Sorry to hear that you are sick! I know how that goes.

As far as Bonefish goes, the main issue seems to be that they don't train their employees on the gluten free menu and how to prepare the food properly. The staff seems to have no clue that they even have the menu.

P.F. Changs seems to do a much better job with education on the issue.

The last time I was at Bonefish, the manager told me not to eat the mashed potatoes even though they are maked on the menu as gluten free. She thought there might be something in them that I shouldn't have.

I have to eat out a lot because I travel for work. I usually try to get stuff as plain as possible, no sauces or dressings, even at places like Outback and Bonefish. I seem to be pretty sensitive and I've definitely gotten sick numerous times. :( I use a restaurant card, which seems to help quite a bit.

Hi S,

I can't imagine traveling with this...I had a really good, gluten free day and am feeling much better. I made a dish out of my Gluten free gourmet comfort food cookbook and loved it, so did my family but tomorrow at work it's water and fruit - that's it for me!

Have a good one!

Hez,

:lol: The #7 combo at BK is the chicken fries, how healthy is that!!!

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
