We had lunch at Chili's Sunday and my daughter hasn't had any kind of reaction yet... we all order from the g.f. menu.. she had the kid's size ribs and I had the steak.. it was really good.. I was surprised. The staff there (Knoxville, TN) were very accomadating also. I am sure we will be back!

I've had consistently good meals and no reactions at the Lincoln Nebraska one as well. The manager was outstanding, came to my table and went thru the menu with me the first time. It was one of the better restaurant experiences I've had. Hu Hot in Lincoln is excellent as well.

Glad it worked well for you too!

We had a great experience at the Chili's in Lancaster, PA also. The meal was great and I didn't get sick at all afterwards. :)

That's great to hear!

Do they have an actual gluten-free menu at the restaurant or do I have to print out their menu online and bring it with me to show the waiter?

I always get the Old Timer Burger, no bun, mashed potatoes (no gravy) and a bowl of baked potato soup...

Every time we head up there to eat they never have the baked potato soup! :angry: No Fair! I usually get the margarita lime chicken with no tortilla strips, its pretty tasty.

the one in Lincoln gave me print out sheets that listed all allergens (peanuts, eggs, milk, wheat, etc.) plus a specific one for gluten free foods. The manager took them back after I ordered and said they get updated ones every two to three weeks so each time I come in, to ask for their allergy lists.

I really like their honey bbq sirloin.

Me too! When do they have this soup?!

I usually get the burger no bun and steamed broccoli, but the last 2 times I got the margarita chicken and it was really good.

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.
