Finally I got to try this place for lunch and oh my.....it was without question the best gluten-free lunch I've had in town post dx. I could not get over how good it was. Only 2 of about 12 sauces are gluten free - pesto and sweet/sour. I had the pesto along with rice, many fresh veggies and chicken. If you have allergies, you put an allergy stick in your bowl and they make your stir fry meal in a clean wok! I could not get over how great my bowl was after being cooked. They also had Asian rice noodles but as I hadn't inquired if they were gluten-free I just had the rice. Next time I'd check on the noodles for something different. You can have shrimp, chicken or beef I think as your meat or no meat of course. It's $7.99 for lunch and that is a steal for a down town lunch. They do dinner also so DH will be going back to try that out. They have a website but you need to google as I had a hard time finding it and now I can't remember it. The set up is a salad bar type thing so if that would make you anxious, you should probably skip the place. Or you could probably order from their reg. menu which I didn't bother looking as since I knew I wanted to try the stir fry bar. The only downside is that apparently it's an all you can eat place so when I coudn't finish my only bowl of food, I was informed there are no take out containers for guests dinging there. Next time I'll not get more than I can eat as I hate throwing food away when people are dying every day from hunger.

Thanks for sharing! My parents live in ATL. It's always great to hear of new places that are safe to eat at down there. A great thai place that my parents go to often and that I MUST go to everytime i'm in town is:

Phuket Thai Restaurant (everyone makes fun of the name b/c it sounds like a dirty word :o )

(404) 325-4199

2839 Buford Hwy Ne

Atlanta, GA 30329

The shopping strip thingy where it's located isn't exactly the nicest looking and may scare some initially but I promise it's a great, clean and Gluten Free place to eat. The food is DELICIOUS!! The owners are wonderful too!! My parents are "regulars" and so are their gluten-free friends....Check it out sometime!

Thanks for the recent visit review on The Real Chow Baby. I had a good media lunch there last year, and actually sent an email to the culinary head to ask about gluten-free sauces and stuff, and they told me they would have to research it but never got back to me. Also, that's great about the "allergy stick" thing- I was concerned about recommending them as a gluten-free dining spot only because of the possible cross-contamination the Mongolian grill style cooking can present. But that's good to know they cook it in a clean wok.

      How many people here are aware that there are 9 types of gluten that Celiacs should be aware of?

      By DebD5 · Posted

      I would like to say you saved me. I’ve been so sick the last few years, celiac since 1997. And reading your post about the other glutens/grains that can be sensitive to celiacs, is the only thing that has ever helped me. Since going off a carbohydrates/grains, even gluten-free ones, My chronic pain is  85% better. I’m actually losing weight which, that’s a long story but was impossible. I definitely am like you. Thank you so very much for posting. For some of celiacs I do believe this is the magic key.

      Curious if I should quit my job

      By DebD5 · Posted

      I 100% believe if you were sticking gluten items, especially flour, and breathed it in you could be glutened. I’m a celiac for almost 30 years. For the first ten years as a celiac I’d help my polish family make pierogis at Christmas time. I would only cook them at the stove and I didn’t touch anything with my hands using spoons. But the flour is in the air. And I’d get violently ill for 1-2 weeks after the last few years I did it. Wearing a back is a great suggestion and washing your clothes and showering when you get home. Good luck. And I’m so sorry your parents are emotionally supporting you.

      Dealing with celiac and menstrual cycle

      By DebD5 · Posted

      Have you had your thyroid checked? I was diagnosed at 24 with celiac. Lost my period permanently at 32. Found out six months after I lost my period that I had 1 ovary with 1 follicle. I had a child already but wanted more. Ended up having two more children with one ovary and one follicle. But my doctors theories are if I would have gotten my thyroid checked sooner and fixed through medication, maybe things would look different. Who knows. I only share my experience so you question your doctors and advocate. Always see an endocrinologist for thyroid care fyi. Actually always see the specific Dr for your specific ailments. I’d also consider seeing a gynecologist that specializes in female hormones/menopausal symptoms. Early ovarian failure happens in celiacs so I read  on the celiac disease center in Chicago website.

      Advice please

      By DebD5 · Posted

      This. Scott said it beautifully. Document and start a trial gluten-free diet. I can also recommend an inflammation dietitian I saw last summer if interested. She’s the only one who helped me on a path to healing through an elimination diet. Which is tricky with your little one. But I completely trust her, she’s very expensive though. I figured out I’m sensitive to so many things and follow a gluten-free diet religiously. Just had an upper and lower endoscopy/colonoscopy and zero signs of celiac disease so they said. I’m a celiac since 1997. But my 33 yr old daughter is very gluten intolerant since 20 yrs old.

      I so appreciate you talking about this. Honestly I’m so sick the most part of the last 15 years, I’m going to cross reference your list with my own. Celiac since 24 yrs old diagnosed in 1997. I just saw a specific celiac GI specialist at the celiac disease center in Chicago and when I told her all the food reactions I was having she said she believed me but there was no clinical evidence to support my reactions(I felt so unseen, she recommended I see a gut psychologist, what the heck). I react with severe body aches to bloating and dizziness to exhaustion:  most lectins except berries and low lectin veg, no eggs, no nightshade veg, no dairy, all carbohydrates including no gluten-free carbs or grains, though a little coconut flour seems ok now, need to test other non grains, certain alcohols that say gluten-free but looking into their process further I get horribly sick if distilled through a gluten grain example Costco vodka….. Because I had an upper and lower GI in 1997(I was 24 and 84#s) and my GI doc came back with celiac disease, this new doc suggested I may not be a celiac. Is running some blood test. Omg. I can’t even. I’m so beyond frustrated.
