I was in Atlanta last week, and we actually ate there twice!!! The food was SO DELICIOUS, and I was felt like a normal person eating in a restaurant.

One word of caution: The first time we ate there I ordered the chocolate flourless cake, and they cautioned me that they would have to serve it without ice cream because their ice cream is not gluten free. That was fine, and it was wonderful! We ate there again a few days later. I ordered the chocolate flourless cake (they knew I was gluten free for medical reasons) but it came with the ice cream on top. I asked the waitress to please verify that I could have it and briefly explained why I was questioning it. She took it away, and came back with a fresh dessert (sans ice cream) and was VERY apologetic. She said that indeed their ice cream is not gluten free, and didn't understand how the mix up happened...they pride themselves in doing a superb job with allergies, intolerances, etc. etc. I think it really was a very honest mistake. I only describe my experience to say: YES, dine at Wildfire, it's AMAZING, but keep your gluten radar on high (as we should anywhere we dine away from home).

I had the steak tenderloin sandwich. Imagine that! A sandwich in a restaurant, oh was I ever in the clouds. The steak was very tender, the kinnikinnick bun was toasted, and all served with shredded lettuce and tomato. EXCELLENT! The kind of sandwich you get in a "nice" restaurant.

I would also like to throw out a caution, as with every restaurant. I went a few weeks ago and really enjoyed it, however, our waiter was not familiar with gluten free and had to ask the manager about the blue cheese on the salad. I ordered the gluten-free cake and it came out looking suspicous (was 3 layers and very tall - not at all like a flourless cake would look), but since it wasn't on the "normal" menu or on the dessert tray that they took around I figured it had to be the gluten-free cake. Well, come to find out it was NOT gluten-free, so I was served (and ate) a regular cake. I will still go back there again though, as the rest of my meal was great, but I will definitely question things if there is any doubt in my mind (I'm still new to this so mistakes are bound to happen).

My Brother, Mother, and I went here for lunch today and it was delicious! I love the portabella mushroom sandwich.

That's strange ... or else their gluten-free menu is ... ice cream is on the gluten-free menu. :blink:

Hahaha! I didn't have a menu in my hands at the moment, but that's what I was told at lunch one day and then confirmed at dinner a couple of days later. I thought it would be unusual that the vanilla ice cream wasn't gluten-free, but I certainly was going to argue or question? Hmmmm....wonder what the real story is???

Might be worth an e-mail inquiry to corportate.

      ttg iga high (646 mg/dl) other results are normal

      @kpf, Were you eating ten grams or more of gluten daily in the month preceding your antibody blood tests? TTg IgA antibodies are made in the intestines. Ten grams of gluten per day for several weeks before testing is required to provoke sufficient antibody production for the antibodies to leave the intestines and enter the blood stream and be measured...

      Fiber Supplement

      Thanks, I'm not a big fan of prunes but did add them back after stopping the Benefiber. Hoping for the best while I wait to hear back from Nutritionist for a different fiber supplement. Thanks again

      Has anyone had terrible TMJ/ Jaw Pain from undiagnosed Celiac?

      If you were wondering why milk protein bothers you with Celiac Disease. Commercial dairies supplement the cow feed with wheat, which becomes incorporated in the milk protein. Milk omega 6 to omega 3 ratio: Commercial Dairies: 5:1 Organic Milk: 3:1 Grass fed milk: 1:1

      Has anyone had terrible TMJ/ Jaw Pain from undiagnosed Celiac?

      My TMJ ended when I lost a middle lower molar. I had an amalgam filling from youth (1960s) that failed and the tooth broke. I had what was left pulled and did not bother to replace it. My bite shifted and the TMJ went away. I just had to be careful eating M&M Peanuts because they would get stuck in the hole.

      Yes, I wondered about the units as well. That large number sure looked more like what we're used to seeing in connection with total IGA scores rather than TTG-IGA. The total IGA test is given to determine if you are IGA deficient. In the case of IGA deficiency, other IGA tests will b skewed and their scores cannot be trusted. Elevated total IGA can point...

      @kpf, Were you eating ten grams or more of gluten daily in the month preceding your antibody blood tests? TTg IgA antibodies are made in the intestines.  Ten grams of gluten per day for several weeks before testing is required to provoke sufficient antibody production for the antibodies to leave the intestines and enter the blood stream and be measured in blood tests. If you had already gone gluten free or if you had lowered your consumption of gluten before testing, your results will be inaccurate and inconclusive.   See link below on gluten challenge guidelines. Have you had any genetic testing done to see if you carry genes for Celiac disease?  If you don't have genes for Celiac, look elsewhere for a diagnosis.  But if you have Celiac genes, you cannot rule out Celiac disease. You mentioned in another post that you are vegetarian.  Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  The best sources of the eight essential B vitamins are found in meats.  Do you supplement any of the B vitamins as a vegetarian? Deficiency in Thiamine Vitamin B 1 is strongly associated with anemia which can cause false negatives on antibody tests.  Fatigue, numbness or tingling in extremities, difficulty with coordination, headaches and anemia are strongly associated with thiamine deficiency.  Other B vitamins that contribute to those symptoms are Riboflavin B 2, Pyridoxine B 6, Folate B 9 and B12 Cobalamine.  The eight B vitamins all work together with minerals like magnesium and iron.  So your symptoms are indicative of B vitamin deficiencies.  You can develop vitamin and mineral deficiencies just being a vegetarian and not eating good sources of B vitamins like meat.  B vitamin deficiencies are found in Celiac due to the malabsorption of nutrients because the lining of the intestines gets damaged by the antibodies produced in response to gluten.

The total IGA test is given to determine if you are IGA deficient. In the case of IGA deficiency, other IGA tests will b skewed and their scores cannot be trusted. Elevated total IGA can point to other health issues, some of them potentially serious, or it can mean nothing. But it doesn't look like you have celiac disease.
