Gluten In Scrambled Eggs Prepared By Restaurant

My office supplied breakfast to us employees yesterday. The selections were home fries, scrambled eggs, bacon and sausage and gluteny biscuits.

I want to concentrate on the scrambled eggs as this restauarant catered the food and the foods were in the aluminum trays over the little burners to keep it warm. When I looked at the scrambled egg tray I noticed that the restaurant had lined the aluminum tray with a "tortila wrap" and I couldn't say if it was a Gluten Free wrap or not. Someone asked the caterer why they did that and the reply was to soak up any water/liquids that comes from the eggs.

So just want to throw this out there to warn all of you so that if you are involved in getting what is conceivably gluten free foods catered, instruct the caterer not to line the pans with a "wrap" or anything else that's full of gluten.

OH!! And I went to IHOP for breakfast with the whold family... and hubby and I were going to split an omelet cuz they are usually huge.. but after reading what was in it... AAAAHHH they mix pancake batter with the egg so it is lighter and more fluffy!!!!!! Whats with that.. so be careful with omelets too!!!

this has nothing to do with eggs, but since we are talking about 'gluten' hiding you won't believe what I saw on the Rachel Rae show on Friday (I think it was)

It was a 'tip of the day people send in as videos'.....

This woman was saying she had the perfect way to keep salads fresh until they are served..make ahead and cover with saran wrap....BUT GET THIS...SHE SAID...."And to keep the salad fresh and to not allow moisture to forum..LAY A SLICE OF BREAD OVER THE SALAD..AND WO-LA-- FRESH AND CRISP EVERYTIME.

SAT with my mouth open and thinking ..my god..what will they think of next ..now we have to ask people if they put a slice of bread on their plain salad greens.

The regular IHOP omelets do indeed contain pancake batter, but you can also order an omelet that does not use that mix.

      Is it gluten?

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      Trip to Anaheim/Disney

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
