Well, I was doing so well. Until this weekend. :( My mom usually takes our family out to dinner on Friday nights. Well, I thought I did good, then she wanted to go Saturday for lunch, and THEN we went after church Sunday night. Oh my, I thought I chose the right things, but I feel awful. Bloated again and such. I am just upset with myself. I didn't want to inconvience anyone. Sunday, we went to Cracker Barrel and I think that is the only place I was ok. I had a BLT salad with no croutons. The other places should have been gluten free, but must not have been. I am just not eating out anymore. I hate it anyway. Never did like doing that. So what do I do when everyone else is eating and I'm hungry too. Do I bring my own? Is that proper?

Thanks

I hate eating out too. It is so risky. I usually only eat out if they have a gluten free menu. If they don't, I just eat before we go - that way I am not hungry watching everybody else eat. Hope you feel better soon!

Either you eat beforehand, or bring something of your own. I always talk with the chef themselves or a manager, never just a waiter...and sometimes they are well up to date with cooking safely for me, in which case I can eat there, and if they can't guarantee a safe meal for me they usually don't have a problem with me eating my own snacks while the people I'm with order something.

But in the beginning of the diet, like you are, I would definitively give eating out a break. You need to figure the diet out for yourself before trying to explain it to other people, and your body needs time to heal.

Mostly I eat beforehand and then just have a cup of tea while the other eat. I like to talk everybody's ears off anyway so I'm happy when I don't have to shut up to chew. ;):lol::rolleyes:

Thanks, everyone. I'm feeling a little better. I'm still pretty sleepy. My bloating has gone down some, too. I think I figured out some of it. I ordered a talapia and vegetable thing in parchment paper (which I thought was good since it was in it's own bag) But, I found out the seasoning on the fish had gluten in it, and it was covered.

I will be more careful, and give eating out a break for sure. Thanks

it is hard. and eating out that often... the chances for contamination just keep coming at you. I hope you're feeling better soon.

but yes, either eat before, or bring something with you. keeping yourself healthy is ALWAYS appropriate. asking someone to eat poison is never appropriate.

      Thank you and I am aware that I should be eating a "normal" diet until tested it's kind of been trial and error for my diet or more like just ERROR! I about 1-3 bites a meal I'm to a point that 99 percent of the time I'm having trouble swallowing just about everything occasionally I find either something or a very small window of time that allows me to get very little of something! I am basically getting zero nutrition what so ever because I take one bite of the meal that I usually just slaved over just to end up tossing it when it's all said and done...did anyone else ever experience anything like this?  I am more then open to suggestions! It is taking a very extreme toll on me and my body forsure

      No! Do not start the gluten free diet until you know whether or not you will be having an endoscopy/biopsy to verify the blood antibody test results. Starting gluten free eating ahead of either form of diagnostic testing can invalidate the results. You don't want to allow the villous lining of the small bowel to experience healing ahead of testing by removing gluten.

      We offer a ton of recipes here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-recipes/ and have done some articles on fast food places, but keep in mind that eating out is a common source of gluten contamination: https://www.celiac.com/search/?q=fast food&quick=1&type=cms_records2 Many colleges now offer allergen-friendly, and sometimes gluten-free options in their student cafeterias: https://www.celiac.com/search/?&q=colleges&type=cms_records2&quick=1&search_and_or=and&sortby=relevancy PS - Look into GliadinX, which is a sponsor here, but many studies have been done on it which show that it may break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines.
