I am planning to go to Wild Wings Bar & Grill with some friends this weekend. Does anyone know if anything on their menu is gluten free? I checked the website, but the only thing I could figure would be safe was the grilled chicken salad (no croutons). Please help! They already think I have some eating disorder since I have lost so much weight lately, so I really need to eat with them.

You can get the wings, but you have to get the sauce on the side because two of them have gluten and they mix all of them in the same place. You could ask that they mix yours separately, but then you have to trust that they'll do it, and you have to make an issue ... I prefer to just fit in when I can.

The sauces that are not okay are pretty obvious, but I can't remember exactly, it's something like Asian and teriyaki. It's due to soy sauce. I like the honey bbq. I also get a side of celery.

My daughter likes to have the naked chicken tenders w/the honey bbq sauce and potato rounds.

Be careful on the potatoes ... it's only the potato rounds that are gluten-free ... I can never remember which one it is so I usually just skip them. Now that I know, I'll give them a try!

i love the Spicy Garlic, Mild, Medium, Hot and Honey BBQ -- they are the bomb!

Call ahead to the one you are going to and talk to the manager. Take care of it before you get there and then just ask to see him/her when you arrive.

The wings taste better to me when the sauce comes on them (but you have to be vigilant and demand they mix them in a separatebowl -- the normal wings are tossed in a bowl that has had the boneless gluten filled wings tossed in them.)

Yep, Carla's right about the potatos... there are 2 different kinds. The potato ROUNDS are safe!

Every time we've eaten there, the manager comes to the table and actually goes back to cook the food himself. And, they always check back with us several times to make sure her food is ok!

Are you guys referring to the "Buffalo Chips" ?

It was my understanding that those were fryed in the non-dedicated fryers.

I was told they were not gluten free due to the potential for cross-contamination.

I don't know. I've never gotten the potatoes because I can never remember. I just get wings and celery.

I eat at the Buffalo Wildwings frequently as my kids love it. I always get Traditional Wings with Honey Barbecue Sauce and Buffalo Chips with Cheese. The manager always makes sure they mix my wings separately from the gluten containing sauce ones and they fry chips separate from breaded and other foods with gluten.

I have Celiac disease.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Judy M! Yes, he definitely needs to continue eating gluten until the day of the endoscopy. Not sure why the GI doc advised otherwise but it was a bum steer.  Celiac disease has a genetic component but also an "epigenetic" component. Let me explain. There are two main genes that have been identified as providing the "potential" to develop "active" celiac disease. We know them as HLA-DQ 2.5 (aka, HLA-DQ 2) and HLA-DQ8. Without one or both of these genes it is highly unlikely that a person will develop celiac disease at some point in their life. About 40% of the general population carry one or both of these two genes but only about 1% of the population develops active celiac disease. Thus, possessing the genetic potential for celiac disease is far less than deterministic. Most who have the potential never develop the disease. In order for the potential to develop celiac disease to turn into active celiac disease, some triggering stress event or events must "turn on" the latent genes. This triggering stress event can be a viral infection, some other medical event, or even prolonged psychological/emotional trauma. This part of the equation is difficult to quantify but this is the epigenetic dimension of the disease. Epigenetics has to do with the influence that environmental factors and things not coded into the DNA itself have to do in "turning on" susceptible genes. And this is why celiac disease can develop at any stage of life. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition (not a food allergy) that causes inflammation in the lining of the small bowel. The ingestion of gluten causes the body to attack the cells of this lining which, over time, damages and destroys them, impairing the body's ability to absorb nutrients since this is the part of the intestinal track responsible for nutrient absorption and also causing numerous other food sensitivities such as dairy/lactose intolerance. There is another gluten-related disorder known as NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just, "gluten sensitivity") that is not autoimmune in nature and which does not damage the small bowel lining. However, NCGS shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease such as gas, bloating, and diarrhea. It is also much more common than celiac disease. There is no test for NCGS so, because they share common symptoms, celiac disease must first be ruled out through formal testing for celiac disease. This is where your husband is right now. It should also be said that some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease. I hope this helps.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By Judy M · Posted

      My husband has had lactose intolerance for his entire life (he's 68 yo).  So, he's used to gastro issues. But for the past year he's been experiencing bouts of diarrhea that last for hours.  He finally went to his gastroenterologist ... several blood tests ruled out other maladies, but his celiac results are suspect.  He is scheduled for an endoscopy and colonoscopy in 2 weeks.  He was told to eat "gluten free" until the tests!!!  I, and he know nothing about this "diet" much less how to navigate his in daily life!! The more I read, the more my head is spinning.  So I guess I have 2 questions.  First, I read on this website that prior to testing, eat gluten so as not to compromise the testing!  Is that true? His primary care doctor told him to eat gluten free prior to testing!  I'm so confused.  Second, I read that celiac disease is genetic or caused by other ways such as surgery.  No family history but Gall bladder removal 7 years ago, maybe?  But how in God's name does something like this crop up and now is so awful he can't go a day without worrying.  He still works in Manhattan and considers himself lucky if he gets there without incident!  Advice from those who know would be appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.

      Welcome to the forum, @catsrlife! Celiac disease can be diagnosed without committing to a full-blown "gluten challenge" if you get a skin biopsy done during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis, assuming that is what is causing the rash. There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would need to find a dermatologist who is familiar with doing the biopsy correctly, however. The samples need to be taken next to the pustules, not on them . . . a mistake many dermatologists make when biopsying for dermatitis herpetiformis.
