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.

so ive got a copy of their allergens info from internet, but I want to ask you 2 questions:

-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!

      I agree, there can be contamination at many points--milling is another possible source of contamination for any flours.

      Keep in mind that with manufactured food products, "gluten free" doesn't equate to no gluten. Things that are naturally gluten free can be cross-contaminated with gluten in the field, in shipping and in processing. In the U.S. companies can use the gluten free label as long as the product doesn't exceed 20ppm of gluten. That amount still may cause a reaction in some people.

      Dd10 was tested for celiac four years ago bc two siblings were dx’d (positive labs and biopsies). Her results at the time were positive ema  and ttg (7x the UL), but a negative biopsy. We checked again three months later and her ttg was still positive (4x the UL), but ema and biopsy were negative. Doc said it was “potential celiac” and to keep eating gluten, but we were concerned about harming her growth and development while young and had her go gluten-free because we felt the labs and ema in particular were very suggestive of early celiac, despite the negative biopsies. She also had stomach aches and lethargy when eating it. We just felt it’d be better to be safe than sorry. Now, four years later, she doesn’t want to be gluten-free if she doesn’t “have to be,” so underwent a 12 week gluten challenge. She had labs done before starting and all looked great (celiac panel all negative, as expected.) Surprisingly, she experienced no noticeable symptoms when she began eating gluten again, which we felt was a positive sign. However, 12 weeks in, her labs are positive again (ttg 4x the UL and ema positive again as well). Doc says that since she feels fine and her previous two biopsies showed nothing, she can just keep eating gluten and we could maybe biopsy again in two years. I was looking up the ema test and the probability of having not just one but two false positives, and it seems ridiculously low.  Any advice? Would you biopsy again? She’s old enough at this point that I really feel I need her buy-in to keep her gluten-free, and she feels that if the doc says it’s fine, then that’s the final word — which makes me inclined to biopsy again and hope that it actually shows damage this time (not because I want her to have celiac like her sisters, but because I kind of think she already does have it, and seeing the damage now would save her more severe damage in the long run that would come from just continuing to eat gluten for a few more years before testing again.)  Our doc is great - we really like him. But we are very confused and want to protect her. One of her older sibs stopped growing and has lots of teeth problems and all that jazz from not catching the celiac disease sooner, and we don’t want to get to that point with the younger sis. fwiw- she doesn’t mind the biopsy at all. It’s at a children’s hospital and she thinks it’s kind of fun. So it’s not like that would stress her out or anything.

      Thanks for the replies. I already use a gluten-free brand of buckwheat flakes I occasionally get itchy bumps. I'm still reviewing all my food products. I occasionally eat prepackaged gluten-free crackers and cookies, so I'll stop using those. I use buckwheat flakes and Doves Farm flour as a base for baking. Would you recommend eliminating those as well? It's a constant search.

      Gluten free food is not fortified with vitamins and minerals as regular food is.  Vitamin deficiencies are common especially in recently diagnosed persons,  Get a 25(OH)Vitamin D blood test. And work on raising it.  The safe upper blood level is around 200 nmol/L.    "Low serum levels of 25(OH)D have been associated with increased risk of autoimmune disease onset and/or high disease activity. The role of vitamin D in autoimmune diseases   🏋️‍♂️Good job!   I find the commercial milk will give me mild stomach burn at night, while pasture/grassfed only milk does not bother me at all.  While you are healing, listen to your body.  If it hurts to eat something, eat something else.  You may be able to eat it later, or maybe it is just not good for you.  Lower your Omega 6 to 3 ratio of what you eat.  Most omega 6 fatty acids are inflammation causing.    The standard american diet omega 6:3 ratio is estimated at upward of 14:1.  Thats why fish oil works
