Gluten Free Diners?

Being both vegan and gluten free makes it extra hard for me to enjoy the foods I liked when I ate meat, and now all the alternatives to meat I cant eat either because most have wheat/gluten in them.

I was at this diner called Vertical Cafe here in Utah and the waitress has celiac's also. She showed me that half the food on the menu is un-contaminated gluten free food! I loved it!

Anyone else have stories like this, that you found a new place to eat catering to our special diets?

Not quite. I heard about a restaurant that is about 40 minutes away that is vegetarian and actually has things that are gluten, dairy, egg, and soy free or can be made that way. I haven't tried it yet ... still convincing my husband that the extra time is worth it. Given my experiences recently in a vegetarian and a Thai restaurant, they will give you something without soy, but then it has no flavor <_< I wish I hadn't have had that soy intolerance test :lol:

I may have to actually start cooking more. Oh dear :( What I'm worried about is a vacation next summer where I'm going to be on a river cruise, eating either on this small ship or in assorted non-English speaking cities. I can have international dining cards to deal with the gluten issue. But they say on there that I can have meat, dairy, egg, soy, etc. and I either don't want to or can't.

Sorry -- you wanted happy experiences :rolleyes: I did find two dishes at local restaurants where the dishes didn't have to be changed and were tasty. I have some other ideas as well. (I'm still relatively new at all this and so still scoping out local places.) I discovered a coop store close to where I live that has a lot of gluten-free vegan items.

Actually, I'm finding the soy thing a lot harder than eating vegan, and then adding gluten-free to that. I'm glad Enterolab doesn't have a test for corn B)

      How long does it take to gain weight?

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      I had no idea there is a "Louisville" in Colorado!😉 I thought it was a typo because I always think of the Kentucky city--but good luck!
