Just wanted to give a head's up. Went to Pasta Pomodoro last night. Have been going there for a while now for the gluten free pasta and the portobello sauce, up till last night they were very helpful and always mad a separate dish for me and fresh gluten-free sauce. Last night I was informed that not only did they not know what gluten was (interestiing, since it is on the menu), but they had never heard nor could make a sauce without gluten. I was very p.o.'d and embarassed, they had the whole management staff at my table basically making a federal case out of it! So, we left and went to Cedar Creek in Laguna Niguel, who have ALWAYS been very accomodating! Ya live and learn!

I spoke with the manager Pasta Pomodoro in Irvine, CA about two months ago. He was not aware that the gluten free pasta should be cooked in separate water from the regular pasta. He also told me I should not eat out. With this level of ignorance, it is my opinion, they should not even bother the have gluten free pasta available.

The manager is right, you shouldn't eat out. In fact, you shouldn't eat anything that you did not grow on your own farm. You also shouldn't drink anything but bottled water. If you would be so kind as to seal yourself into a bag with just some carrots to tide you over, it would be a REAL convenience for all the "normal" folks out there.

Sheesh! What an insensitive moron that guy is. I want to hear what corp. has to say about your email. Let them know that gluten-free IS NOT A FAD!

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      CT with contrast.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?

      Chances of being coeliac

      @JettaGirl, "Coeliac" is the British spelling of "celiac". Same disease.

      This may sound ridiculous but is this supposed to say Celiacs? I looked up Coeliacs because you never know, there’s a lot of diseases related to a disease that they come up with similar names for. It’s probably meant to say Celiacs but I just wanted to confirm.
