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....

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.

      Is it gluten?

      @par18, no, Scott's use of the term "false negative" is intentional and appropriate. The "total IGA" test is not a test used to diagnose celiac disease per se. The IGA immune spectrum response encompasses more than just celiac disease. So, "total IGA" refers to the whole pie, not just the celiac response part of it. But if the whole pie is deficient, the...

      This may be the problem. Every time you eat gluten it is like giving a booster shot to your immune system, telling it to react and produce antibodies again.

      Scott, I am mostly asymptomatic. I was diagnosed based on high antibodies, low ferritin (3) and low vitamin D (10). I wasn't able to get in for the biopsy until 3 months after the blood test came back. I was supposed to keep eating gluten during this time. Well why would I continue doing something that I know to be harmful for 3 more months to just get...

The IGA immune spectrum response encompasses more than just celiac disease. So, "total IGA" refers to the whole pie, not just the celiac response part of it. But if the whole pie is deficient, the spectrum of components making it up will likely be also, including the celiac disease response spectrum. In other words, IGA deficiency may produce a tTG-IGA score that is negative that might have been positive had there not been IGA deficiency. So, the tTG-IGA negative score may be "false", i.e, inaccurate, aka, not to be trusted.

      Scott, I am mostly asymptomatic. I was diagnosed based on high antibodies, low ferritin (3) and low vitamin D (10). I wasn't able to get in for the biopsy until 3 months after the blood test came back. I was supposed to keep eating gluten during this time. Well why would I continue doing something that I know to be harmful for 3 more months to just get this test? So I did quit gluten and had the biopsy. It was negative for celiacs. I continued gluten free with iron supps and my ferritin came back up to a reasonable, but not great level of around 30-35.  Could there be something else going on? Is there any reason why my antibodies would be high (>80) with a negative biopsy? could me intestines have healed that quickly (3 months)?  I'm having a hard time staying gluten free because I am asymptomatic and i'm wondering about that biopsy. I do have the celiacs gene, and all of the antibody tests have always come back high. I recently had them tested again. Still very high. I am gluten free mostly, but not totally. I will occasionally eat something with gluten, but try to keep to a minimum. It's really hard when the immediate consequences are nil.  with high antibodies, the gene, but a negative biopsy (after 3 months strict gluten-free), do i really have celiacs? please say no. lol. i think i know the answer.  Asa
