hi, Ive just realize that dennys restaurants are a good choice to go with my son. the hostess told us that they dont make the pankes in the same grill as the eggs or bacon.

-can my baby eat Hydrolyzed protein or it contains gluten?

- I want to know about your experiences there and wath did you ask?

thx for sharing this info!!

I ate there not too long ago. I had chocolate milk, eggs, sausage links, bacon and hashbrowns. I got sick before I got home. I have a "restaurant guide" that I used and it had all those things listed except the bacon. I just thought the bacon would be okay too. That may have been where I made my mistake.

I considered eating at Denny's a big mistake before I was Dx'd, I would consider it a bigger one now. Food poisoning is for everyone.

I have eaten there also. I've had a hamburger patty with fruit, or a baked potato, and the veggie omelet. I never got sick, but I also gave specific instruction to my server and the manager. With places like denny's I believe it is a serious risk, even if you do talk to the staff. I think I just gambled and got lucky.

eating out anywhere, especially a place like Denny's, is a risk due to cross-contamination. It often depends on the specific staff. I do not eat at Denny's.

I have to travel for work quite frequently and often eat at Denny's. I have never had a problem and have found the staff to always be very accomodating to my requests. I order food that is naturally gluten free and very carefully explain what I need. So far so good with Denny's

I haven't eaten at dennys since dx, however I have been at a couple of breakfast places (small town type) and so long as you are specific with things, they're okay. I know big food chains like Ihop add pancake batter to their scrambled eggs, so don't order that!! I usually just make sure everything can be made w/ fresh ingredients, and on a clean grill. Mostly, I like to make breakfasts at home. I love canned potatoes fried w/ butter for hash browns, and Van's waffles or Pamela's pancake mix!

YES YES YES YES YES

Isn't it nice to hear a yes?

I have NEVER gotten a reaction from Denny's. I just ate there Sunday. I eat the Ultimate Breakfast Bowl.

It has potatoes on the bottom and eggs, cheese, ham, etc. on the top and bacon on the side.

The pancakes come on a separate plate and I gave them to someone else.

I explain that no pancakes or bread or anything can touch my food and that's it. VOILA!

YES YES YES YES YES

I love the breaskfast bowl!!! I only eat the ham bowl when I go to Denny's. I have never gotten sick. I do not eat at Denny's on a regular basis though, sometimes I do not feel the place is always that clean.

We do eat at Denny's. It's one of the few places that both my husband and cousin (both have celiac dis) like to go for breakfast. They order the meat-lovers breakfast, minus the toast. I can think of three separate Denny's we've gone to, ordering for them. So far (about 5 years for my cousin) so good.

Take care!

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      Medication

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the community! Generally, for a gluten challenge before celiac disease blood tests, Tylenol (acetaminophen) is considered safe and should not interfere with your antibody results. The medications you typically need to avoid are those like ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve) that can cause intestinal irritation, which could potentially complicate the interpretation of an endoscopy if you were to have one. However, it is absolutely crucial that you confirm this with either your gastroenterologist or your surgeon before your procedure. They know the specifics of your case and can give you the definitive green light, ensuring your surgery is comfortable and your celiac testing remains accurate. Best of luck with your surgery tomorrow

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      Thank you for the advice. I’ve actually never checked for nutritional deficiencies, but for as long as I can remember, I’ve always taken vitamin and mineral supplements — otherwise my symptoms get worse. This week I stopped eating gluten to confirm whether my symptoms are really caused by it. Starting next week, I’ll reintroduce gluten — it’s sad to go back to how I was before — but at least I’ll be able to take the necessary tests properly. I think the diagnostic process will be long, but at least I’m happy that I finally decided to address this doubt I’ve had for years.
