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.

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      You’re raising a very real and very well-documented problem, and you’re absolutely right to be frustrated. Medication labeling is a major blind spot for people with celiac disease, because unlike food, drug manufacturers are not required to clearly disclose the source of binders, fillers, or excipients—even when they may be derived from wheat. That puts ...

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies c...

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease. Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
