Glutin-free Restraunt

Ok, I'm sure there are a million reasons why no one has done it, but why hasn't someone opened up a gluten-free restraunt? If one in every 133 people have this disease even thought they may not know it, it seems like people would eat at chain of gluten-free restraunts. People love to be trendy, why not start a new trend, a gluten-free food chain! Even people without celiac disease would eat there if you told them eating gluten-free can reverse the signs of aging! Am I just dreaming here, or has anyone else ever wished for this?

There are a few around, but they aren't chains. Their used to be one in seattle, but now it is a mocha stand/some baked gluten-free foods. Very yuppiesh, not my taste at all.

I loved getting gluten-free chicken strips etc. Now they have lavender cake or deep dish pizza with tons of crap in it. I like just plain ham w/ cheese on my pizza not with hearts of artichokes and klamato olives, etc.

Do you live near Chicago? I've been trying to convince my husband we should open one but he thinks no one "else" will come if we market it as a gluten free restaurant. but seeing as how just one of our local support group has over 750 memebers i don't think it would be that big of a deal if we were centrally located!

Oh, I think that's a fanatstic idea!!! I wish someone would do it! A restaurant where you would have NO worries about cross contamination...

And it would be best if they had a good selection of foods, not just fancy "yuppie-ish" ones. Like someone else said, artichoke hearts on pizza? Some people like it, I'm sure, but my kids would gag. Someplace that had everything from chicken nuggets, to pizza, pasta, deserts, steaks and chicken with marinade you don't have to worry about... Like a gluten-free Applebee's!!!

If there was a restaurant that was strictly gluten-free, not just with a gluten-free menu, I think people would be willing to drive a distance to it.

My mother has Celiac, and both my kids are now on a gluten-free diet, and I would LOVE it if there was a strictly gluten-free restaurant.

      Healthy diet leading to terrible bloating

Now I know what it is I shall try to resume the healthy diet - the symptoms are annoying rather than painful, and I think it was doing me a lot of good,...

      Healthy diet leading to terrible bloating

      Stegosaurus, One size doesn't fit all. Most celiacs do fine with oats and other non-gluten cereal grains. Grains can contribute important nutrients to the diet and are a relatively inexpensive food energy sources. I don't agree with the position that all celiacs should eliminate all grains from their diet. This line of thinking has been promoted for years...

      Osteoporosis: Does the body start rebuilding bones after starting a gluten-free diet?

      While it's true that lifting heavy weights is a good bone builder, it may not be advisable for those with certain medical conditions like heart disease, arthritis and for the elderly or for those who don't have access to the equipment. Bone building drugs like Fosamax slow down the disposal of worn out osteoclasts (bone cells) and so help maintain/restore...

      Quick update.  I saw the title of this thread and forgot that I'd actually started it!  Oh dear! It seems my new healthy diet was the cause of these symptoms,  I had a clear colonoscopy, thankfully. Now I know what it is I shall try to resume the healthy diet - the symptoms are annoying rather than painful, and I think it was doing me a lot of good, I certainly lost some pounds around the waistline (pity they piled back on again at Christmas!)

      Stegosaurus, One size doesn't fit all. Most celiacs do fine with oats and other non-gluten cereal grains. Grains can contribute important nutrients to the diet and are a relatively inexpensive food energy sources. I don't agree with the position that all celiacs should eliminate all grains from their diet. This line of thinking has been promoted for years by books like Dangerous Grains which make the case on logic rather than actual real world data. Like many biological phenomenon, what would seem to be logical doesn't pan out to be true in the real world.  But if you are one of those in the minority of celiacs who cannot tolerate cereal grains at all, I'm glad that you were able to sort that out.
