Another Great Experience At Chilis

I know you all must be getting tired of seeing me with a thread like this. I had another great experience. I just get so excited when I have these I have to share them with everyone.

It was at the Chilis in Toms River, NJ. Again the hostesses know nothing about the gluten free menu. I got the manager and he knew enough about celiacs to impress me. I explained it in detail to him. How the grill must be totally clean. The pans they use to make my food. The utensils. How nothing can touch my food or I will get violently ill.

He was so accomadating. He said he will personally be in the kitchen standing next to the cook that would be preparing my food.

I had no reaction whatsoever. It is such a great feeling.

Thanks for reading my rants again!

I had the Honey BBQ Sirloin. Their BBQ sauce is gluten free. I had the loaded mashed potatoes, which my son loves. And I had the broccoli, plain, no garlic sauce. I am not sure if we can have the garlic sauce or not, I just like my broccoli plain, so I left it at that.

I really like this steak too. The BBQ sauce is yummy!

TinkerBell,

I enjoy reading all of the comments about encounters with restaurants. Keep them coming! I had a bad experience with Red Robin today and had to leave to go to another restaurant. I also had a good experience with Chili's where the manager gave me a printout of glue free items.

Thanks again.

Shaaron

      The discovery of the vitamin D receptor in multiple immune cell lineages, such as monocytes, dendritic cells, and activated T cells credits vitamin D with a novel role in modulating immunological functions and its subsequent role in the development or prevention of autoimmune diseases.  The Implication of Vitamin D and Autoimmunity: a Comprehensive Review

      Definitely get vitamin D 25(OH)D.  Celiac Disease causes vitamin D deficiency and one of the functions of vitamin D is modulating the genes.  While we can survive with low vitamin D as an adaptation to living in a seasonal environment, the homeostasis is 200 nmol/L.  Vitamin D Receptors are found in nearly every cell with a nucleus,while the highest concentrations are in tissues like the intestine, kidney, parathyroid, and bone.  A cellular communication system, if you will. The vitamin D receptor: contemporary genomic approaches reveal new basic and translational insights  Possible Root Causes of Histamine Intolerance. "Low levels of certain nutrients like copper, Vitamins A, B6, and C can lead to histamine build up along with excess or deficient levels of iron. Iodine also plays a crucial role in histamine regulation."

      I forgot to mention my suspicion of the high amount of glyphosate allowed to be used on wheat in USA and NZ and Australia. My weight was 69kg mid-2023, I went down to 60kg in March 2024 and now hover around 63kg (just after winter here in NZ) - wheat-free and very low alcohol consumption.

      Hi Jess Thanks so much for your response and apologies for the long delay in answering. I think I must have been waiting for something to happen before I replied and unfortunately it fell off the radar... I have had an upper endoscopy and colonoscopy in the meantime (which revealed 'minor' issues only). Yes I do think histamine intolerance is one of the problems. I have been lowering my histamine intake and feeling a lot better. And I do think it is the liver which is giving the pain. I am currently taking zinc (I have had three low zinc tests now), magnesium, B complex, vitamin E and a calcium/Vitamin C mix. I consciously think about getting vitamin D outside. (Maybe I should have my vitamin D re-tested now...) I am still 100% gluten-free. My current thoughts on the cause of the problems is some, if not all, of the following: Genetically low zinc uptake, lack of vitamin D, wine drinking (alcohol/sulphites), covid, immune depletion, gastroparesis, dysbiosis, leaky gut, inability to process certain foods I am so much better than late 2023 so feel very positive 🙂

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      Hi and thank you very much for your detailed response! I am so glad that the protocol worked so well for you and helped you to get your health back on track. I've heard of it helping other people too. One question I have is how did you maintain your weight on this diet? I really rely on nuts and rice to keep me at a steady weight because I tend to lose weight quickly and am having a hard time envisioning how to make it work, especially when not being able to eat things like nuts and avocados. In case you have any input, woud be great to hear it! Friendly greetings.
