Always Gluten-free Eating Out?

I was thinking, if I ever get caught eating out would it be a good risk to just order romaine lettuce with chicken on it and oil and vinegar....

It probably wouldn't be that great, but at least I don't have to worry too much about gluten? Because wouldn't even the ranch sauce, ceasar sauce etc most likely have gluten?

the only way I can think of that having gluten is with CC or the chicken. maybe if I just make sure it's plain chicken without any seasoning?

Depends on where you go. Some restaurants use pre-marinated chicken.

DH is a chef, he often has people ask specific questions about seasonings/ marinades etc... May restaurants now have a Gluten free menu, which is basically just items on there current menu and how to order them gluten-free. Just ask the manager/ Chef, DH actually likes it and takes pride in when he can help someone with a very specific request. GL

Be sure to tell your waiter you can't have Gluten...explain what that is.

Remember they may grill chicken on a grill that they just grilled a bun on...I ask them to do my stuff on a clean pan, instead of directly on the grill.

Also alot of resturants toss their salads in the same bowl.....so the bowl they tossed your salad in may have just had croutons in it!!

Eating out generally goes ok, if your clear about what you want. If I know I'm going somewhere during busy hours....I call ahead and ask questions in advance.

I've found that chicken isn't always a good thing. Of course we do have additional food allergies, but unless the restaurant cooks from scratch, the chicken may have stuff added to it that you don't want. Burger patties are usually a better bet, and most places have them. I know of one place that does pork chops from scratch. I like to dine there because they are familiar with our allergies and will make stuff specially for us.

Gotta go with dragonmom.......steak, baked potato and a salad works for me. Steak is usually cooked on a charcoal grill which self cleans from the heat and I carry my own salad dressing packed in individual packets so that if I am not happy with the salad dressing selection at the restaurant, then there is not problem there. If you are super sensitive, then also watch the sour cream for the baked potato too, could have gluten. Baked fish, or seafood is a good choice also. Barbara

Ditto on the Steak and Potato, that is always my "safe" meal out.

      Outgrow celiac?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Testing can't alone be trusted.  Else why would it take so many years of testing and retesting and misdiagnosis to finally be told, yes you have Celiac Disease. As to what to eat, I like pre 1950 style food.  Before the advent of TV dinners.  Fresh food is better for you, and cooking from scratch is cheaper.  Watch Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals for how to cook.  Keep in mind that she is not gluten free, but her techniques are awesome.  Just use something else instead of wheat, barley, rye. Dr Fuhrman is a ex cardiologist.  His book Eat to Live and Dr Davis' book Wheatbelly were instrumental in my survival.

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch--thanks for the tip about Dupixent, and I've added it to the article:

      I just want to clarify that what I posted is a category of research summaries we've done over the years, and nearly each one shows that there is definitely a connection to celiac disease and migraine headaches. The latest study said: "the study did indicate some potential causal associations between celiac disease and migraine with or without aura, as well as between migraine without aura and ulcerative colitis...this study did not find evidence of a shared genetic basis..." Anyway, there is definitely a connection, and you can go through more of the articles here if you're interested: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/migraine-headaches-and-celiac-disease/

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By SusanJ · Posted

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was bad I could not do anything. I just lay in bed covered in ice packs to ease the pain/itching and using way too Clobetasol. Dapsone is also very good for dermatitis herpetiformis (and it is generic). It helped me and the results were immediate but it gave me severe anemia so the Dupixent is better for me. Not sure if it works for everyone. I cannot help with the cause of your stress but from experience I am sure the severe stress is making the celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis worse. Very difficult for you with having children to care for and you being so sick. Would this man be willing to see a family therapist with you? He may be angry at you or imagine that your illness is a psychosomatic excuse not to take care of him. A therapist might help even if he won't go with you. Also do you have any family that you could move in with (with the kids) for a short time to get away? A break may be good for you both.

      @tiffanygosci, Thiamine deficiency is a thing in pregnancy for "normal" people, so it's exponentially more important for those with celiac disease and malabsorption issues. I studied nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I was curious what the vitamins were doing inside the body.  See my blog.  Click on my name to go to my page, scroll to drop down menu "activities" and select blog.   So glad you're motivated to see the dietician!  We're always happy to help with questions.  Keep us posted on your progress!
