We're looking to take a short trip, one possible destination is Bangor Maine.

I can't seem to find anything online about gluten-free or Celiac-friendly restaurants there?

Can anyone help me?

I usually go to the restaurants that have gluten free info on their websites. Here are a few:

Applebee's

Uno's

Chili's

Olive Garden

Denny's

I have to tell you though, Bangor doesn't have the nicest of people. I don't think the waiters even know the size of their own underwear. I mostly have salads no croutons with oil and vinegar. So far, the best place there was Olive Garden. They were very understanding and the dish was amazing. They brought me my own salad. I even brought my own corn chips and ordered their awesome brushetta mix.

You can go on their website and they actually have a few things that are gluten free.

If you like Thai, there is a great one called Thai Siam in Downtown Bangor.

I have looked on Applebee's website, but, cannot find any info on gluten at all. Can you tell me how to find this info? Thanks!

I used to agree with this... but now I'm very concerned with that place! I told a waitress there about my sensitivity a few months ago and she was very helpful... she gave me a rundown of everything on the menu that is safe. Then I was there last night and a woman seated near me had such a horrible experience. She'd told the waitress she was gluten-free when she was seated, questioned the food that was brought out to her and found out that it was made using soy sauce with wheat. The chef and waitress both tried to convince the woman to eat the food anyway, since "only a splash" of the soy sauce was used. The woman asked for steamed chicken/vegetables and the chef told her it was impossible to do that without soy sauce.

Now I have no idea whether or not to trust what the previous waitress had told me. I am Googling around to see if anyone else has had a similar experience so I can decide whether or not to avoid the restaurant, but I can't find anything too helpful!

Applebees is not gluten free friendly.Even the grilled chicken is not safe. Most sport bar type eateries use the same supplier. Most grilled chicken or any chicken is flas frozen with a flash glaze that we can not have!

Chili's is ok & Texas Roadhouse is ok for grilled chicken....

      Diagnosed w Celiacs, but reacting to gluten-free Digiorno Pizza AND Kraft Zesty Italian Dressing

      By John767 · Posted

      DiGiornos gluten free pizza at one point was  made from a dough derived of wheat starch...yet they were able to call it gluten free probably because it came in at under 20ppm for gluten.  Apparently the recipe was changed and the pizza not longer contains a wheat starch derived crust.  As for the Heinz dressing, it could be an issue with cross contamination with wheat barley and or rye somewhere during the production process.  If you read how Frito-Lays (on their website) designates items gluten free, you will understand the variances in the lengths companies go through in deciding when to put on a gluten free label and when not--Frito-Lays is pretty solid.  Also being in Canada, they may follow a common international rule of less than 20ppm of gluten is all that is required to be labeled gluten free regardless of the grains used to manufacture the product (common in Europe, Central, and South America)...it took a couple of really rough mornings after consuming some Dura Damm (labeled as gluten free outside the USA) for me to realize that it was a gluten reduced beer. Same with Mahou Beer which actually says in Spanish "suitable for celiacs", unfortunately it is not suitable for this celiac and of course the following day was really rough as well...really take the time to read the ingredients because had I read the ingredients of  Mahou's "suitable for celiacs" "sin gluten" beer I would have noticed that it was made from cabada (Spanish for barley)...hope this helps...

      Here is an article that explains test results and what they mean.  Testing for Celiac Disease is so elusive, any positive, unless a lab error false positive, is evident of Celiac.  It is easier to be in denial, tnan committing to gluten free.  Like not believing a pregnancy test.  Denial will lead to more suffering. Are You Confused About Your Celiac Disease Lab Results?

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      I believe that what triggers acute Celiac Disease is vitamin D deficiency.  When we have stress it depletes our already low vitamin D, (40% to 60% of us in the industrial world are deficient) allowing the Celiac genes and the immune system to run amuck.  At 93 ng/ml 25(OH)D blood level, the last time I accidentally glutened myself, all that I got was a runny nose and burning eyes three days later.  It took 8 years, taking 10,000 IU a day to get to this blood level. Vitamin D Is Not as Toxic as Was Once Thought Possible Role of Vitamin D in Celiac Disease Onset So true.  If I am working on something I'm enjoying, I put off eating because after I eat I mostly feel worse.  Not so much anymore, but it's been a life long struggle with the anorexia.  M&M Peanuts is a good go-to snack.  For the dairy Kosher Dill pickles, brine fermented, not vinegar quick pickles (vinegar kills the bacteria), will repopulate your gut with Lactobacillus that exretes lactase, the reason adults are not lactose intolerant.  Also, grassfed milk has less omega 6 fatty acids than commercial grain fed dairy. Grassfed omega 6:3 ratio is 1:1; Organic milk 3:1; Commercial Dairy 5:1.  Omega 6 causes inflammation.  The typical western diet is 14:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  A good reason not to eat gluten.  Here is a list: High omega-3/low omega-6 I find it interesting that the new diagnosis of Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity was created 10 years after Norman Borlaug, "the father of the Green Revolution" and our modern grain crops, received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1970.

      Thanks for your reply. She has been given a date for her endoscopy, 28th of this month, so hopefully she’ll know for sure if she definitely has coeliac. Needless to say she’s dreading it!!!!

      That is more than 10x the standard range, so a strong positive. In the UK for children and adults under the age of 55, at least 10x the standard range is sufficient to be diagnosed without having an endoscopy. The NICE guidelines are are different for children in that a referral to a gastroenterologist is also recommended for diagnosis. https://www.coeliac.org.uk/healthcare-professionals/diagnosis/how-to-test/ https://www.coeliac.org.uk/healthcare-professionals/diagnosis/diagnosis-in-children/
