Don Pablos

I just went to dinner at Don Pablos in Moorestown, NJ last night and had a wonderful experience. I printed off the gluten-free items from their website and brought it with me to the restaurant. I didn't even have to tell the waitress anything about my disease since it was all spelled out on the menu and the items didn't need any substitutions. I got taquitos for an appetizer and Mamma's skinny enchiladas for dinner. Also had corn bread on the side. Everything tasted SO good and the fact that it was so easy made it taste even better. I was a little hesitant about eating there at first but I did not have any reaction at all (and my body has become very sensitive to gluten since going gluten-free). I did not eat the chips since the website said there is a chance of cross contamination with them so I would suggest staying away from anything with chips but everything else they listed was great. I will definitely be going back! :D

I went to the one in Virginia where I live and had their low carb salad and chips. He said they had a dedicated chip fryer and another fryer for their other fried things. He said when it gets super busy, sometimes they will have to use the chip fryer as well for regular food but he checked for me and said it hadn't been used that day, so I could have the chips. I also asked if they added soy sauce like On the Border does, and he said absolutely not. The one drawback to their food is the incredible amount of sodium in their dishes. Some of them are well over our daily limit, but yes, it was a good experience. :)

I went to the Don Pablos in Alexandria, VA, last night. Overrall, it was a good experience, but I was very surprised, when talking with the manager, to find that she didn't know anything about gluten-free dining. I explained it to her, giving her a brief overview of Celiac Disease. ALthough the place was packed, she was very patient & responsive. She checked with the kitchen & they prepared the Mama's Skinny enchiladas with red sauce for me. While waiting for the food, the kitchen chef came over to my table & asked further questions about preparation. I was delighted. The food was great & I'd recommend anyone try them out, but print up their menu first & bring it with you!

      And the fact is, no two celiacs will necessarily respond the same to gluten exposure. Some are "silent" celiacs and don't experience obvious symptoms. But that doesn't mean no harm is being done to their gut. It just means it is subclinical.

      Thank you, Trents.  I appreciate your helpful and friendly reply. It seems more likely to be a bug.  It has been a pretty severe bought. I feel that I don’t have enough experience to know what signs my little one shows after exposure to gluten.

      Hannah24, be aware that if you are on a gluten free diet, you will invalidate any further testing for celiac disease (except genetics) and would need to go back to eating significant amounts of gluten for weeks or months to qualify for valid testing.

      Hello, @Hannah24 Have you had a DNA test done?  Celiac Disease is genetic.  You must have at least one gene to develop celiac disease.  You don't have to be consuming gluten for a genetic test.   Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can cause false negatives.  Some lucky people are seronegative, but still have celiac disease.  Peripheral neuropathy, tingling in hands and feet are symptoms of vitamin deficiencies.  Vitamin C, Thiamine B1, Niacin B3, Pyridoxine B6, and Cobalamine B12 can each cause peripheral neuropathy.  These same vitamins are needed to produce blood cells.  Most undiagnosed Celiacs suffer from nutritional deficiencies. The DNA test would be helpful.

      We do hear of cases of remission but they generally eventually revert back. I wouldn't push your luck.
