I had to share this with everyone because it was a wonderful find. The other day, my mother (who does not have Celiac) was looking through the Washington Post's Food section which had an article on gluten free baking. While rooting around the paper, she found that a local restaurant, Chima Steakhouse in Tysons Corner, is hosting a gluten free dinner! The local Celiac organization here in Northern Virginia called tonight to confirm our reservation and see how many family members had Celiac Disease. I was totally blown away! The dinner is coming up, the beginning of next week I think, but if you live in the area and would like to go, feel free to email me at wheeleks@jmu.edu and I can send you the information to get signed up. The Chima Steakhouse line number did not offer any help in making the reservation, it is specifically through the local Celiac group. I am beyond excited for a great gluten free dinner and knew that only people in this group would fully appreciate the magnitude of this event!!! Happy eating to all!!!

My family and I attended this dinner last night. It was a great event and the price was superb (1/3 the regular price). Kudos to the group for organizing it.

      Thanks, jmartes, for answering the question. You believe you still have active Celiac Disease. Right? You wrote that you are WHEAT free. Are you also BARLEY free and RYE free?I am asking this because to have an active reaction you must be putting gluten into your body, There are a few other foods that may cause some autoantibody production. Ask KnittyKitty...

      Hi jmartes, In 1994, when you were in your 30s you were diagnosed with Celiac Disease at Kaiser. You went on a gluten free diet and still avoid eating wheat, barley and Rye. It seems that you recovered and you no longer have active Celiac Disease at age 54. If you started eating the gluten grains again you might again get back the symptoms and problems...

      Celiac is too common to be "rare" under the standard definition. Does this group do anything with Celiac?

Are you also BARLEY free and RYE free?I am asking this because to have an active reaction you must be putting gluten  into your body, There are a few other foods that may cause some autoantibody production. Ask KnittyKitty about this. In 2007 you had more food issues. Many Celiacs have this development and I think it is because while they hadthe active celiac disease and damage to their small intestine food allergies were caused because of the damage  while you had the active disease and not identified until years later. It is necessary to eliminate those foods from your diet. Scott Adams wrote that some people can start eating those foods after their intestine has healed. I have not been able to add any foods I react to back to my diet.

      Hi jmartes, In 1994, when you were in your 30s you were diagnosed with Celiac Disease at Kaiser. You went on a gluten free diet and still avoid eating wheat, barley and Rye. It seems that you recovered and you no longer have active Celiac Disease at age 54. If you started eating the gluten grains again you might again get back the symptoms and problems you had when you were in your 30s. The only cure for Celiac Disease is being strictly gluten free.  Your medical providers are correct in telling  you that you do not have active Celiac Disease. Do you understand that? You may have some other developing health problems and I can write  more if you  answer the question.                         the only cure for celiac disease is being  gluten gree.
