DId I read that someone had a positive experience there? I was wondering if anyone located a gluten-free menu for CF online?

hey-

I ate their once a few months ago, no gluten-free menu. The chef came out and spoke with me, but I still ended up eating yr basic salad with no dressing ( I don't eat meat either). So I wouldn't really recommend it, but you can try!

I've had their shrimp over angel hair with tomato sauce, except I get it over rice. It is very good when it is made correctly but due to the large volume of customers they have I usually have to send it back a few times.

There are several CFactories in 60 miles or so from our place and I've been able to eat at both, successfully!

When I go in, before we sit down, I tell the host(ess) that I need to speak to the mgr. I have a celiac card made up ahead of time with what I can NOT eat, and when the Mgr comes to the table, I explain that I can't eat anything on this card.

The 4 or 5 times we've been there, he goes back to consult with the chef and then comes back and tells me what they can do for me, going through the menu one item at a time. The past 3 times, I've ordered the Baja Chicken Tacos. The chef prepares it gluten-free and I've been symptom free each time I've eaten. I'm not sure if this is gluten-free already or if he does something in particular but, wow, it's SO YUMMY!! lol.

Basically, if you're going to a nicer place, like CF, just speaking to the mgr should get you what you want. In our small town, we're limited to RTuesday, Chili's, and a steakhouse. We eat there so often that I made a point of going in for lunch one time in the later afternoon when it was kind of dead (in each place) and explaining to the Mgr my limitations. In all 3 places they were very understanding and took the time (30 minutes or so!!) to go over all the menu items and even bring out labels when we weren't certain.

It never hurts to ask and if you're super nice about it, I can't see that you won't get what you want. You can catch a whole lotta flies w/honey! ;)

Someone at our local celiac meeting told us that their Godiva cheesecake is gluten-free. She said the crust is made of chocolate. I would double check but if so, that's very good news!

The Cheesecake Factory was one of the first places I ate after finding out I was a celiac. They could not have been any nicer. My waitress got the chef and he told me what menu items he could make gluten free. They did recomend that I not eat any of the cheesecake. He said they couldn't avoid contamination in the factory where they were made. Also their french fries where not gluten free.(Maybe due to fryer use?)

      Its been a complete nightmare dealing with all these health issues one thing after another and being told many different things.I am looking for a new primary care physician considering when I told my past doctor of 25 years I was diagnosed before any foods eliminated from my diet and now this year at age 54 no longer able to push considering Im always exhausted, leg pain , stomach,skin and eye issues,high blood pressure to name a few all worsen because I was a  school bus driver and few years until my immune system went to hell and was fired because of it.Im still struggling now, Im sibo positive and been told im not celiac and that I am.I have a hernia and dealing with menopause. Its exhausting and is causing depression because of non medical help. Today I saw another gastrointestinalist and he said everything im feeling doesn't add up to celiac disease since my ITg levels are normal so celiac disease is under control and it's something else. I for got I had Barrett's esophagus diagnosed in 2007 because recent doctors down played it just like my celiac disease. Im currently looking for a pcp in my area because it is affecting me personally and professionally. Im told since celiac looks under control it's IBS and I need to see a therapist to control it. Gastrointestinalist around here think only food consumption and if ITG looks normal its bit celiac disease it's something else. Is this right? This is what im being told. I want medical help but told its IBS.Im feel lost by " medical team "

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By trents · Posted

      My migraines generally have their onset during the early morning hours as well. Presently, I am under siege with them, having headaches all but two days so far this month. I have looked at all the things reported to be common triggers (foods, sleep patterns, weather patterns, stress, etc.). Every time I think I start to see a pattern it proves not to pan out in the long run. I'm not sure it's any one thing but may, instead, be a combination of things that coalesce at certain times. It's very frustrating. The medication (sumatriptan or "Imatrix") is effective and is the only thing that will quell the pain. NSAIDs, Tylenol, even hydrocodone doesn't touch it. But they only give you 9 does of sumatriptan a month. And it doesn't help that medical science doesn't really know what causes migraines. They know some things about it but the root cause is still a mystery.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Just a gluten free diet is not enough.  Now you have to identify and replenish your malnutrition.  Celiac disease is co-morbid with malabsorption syndrome.  Low vitamin D, Low Thiamine caused Gastointeston Beriberi, low choline, low iodine are common the general population, and in newly diagnosed Celiacs in the western culture its is more likely.  It takes time to heal and you need to focus on vitamins and minerals.  Gluten free foods are not fortified like regular processed foods.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By Sarah Grace · Posted

      Dear Kitty Since March I have been following your recommendations regarding vitamins to assist with various issues that I have been experiencing.  To recap, I am aged 68 and was late diagnosed with Celiac about 12 years ago.  I had been experiencing terrible early morning headaches which I had self diagnosed as hypoglycaemia.  I also mentioned that I had issues with insomnia, vertigo and brain fog.   It's now one year since I started on the Benfotiamine 600 mg/day.  I am still experiencing the hypoglycaemia and it's not really possible to say for sure whether the Benfotiamine is helpful.  In March this year, I added B-Complex Thiamine Hydrochloride and Magnesium L-Threonate on a daily basis, and I am now confident to report that the insomnia and vertigo and brain fog have all improved!!  So, very many thanks for your very helpful advice. I am now less confident that the early morning headaches are caused by hypoglycaemia, as even foods with a zero a GI rating (cheese, nuts, etc) can cause really server headaches, which sometimes require migraine medication in order to get rid off.  If you are able to suggest any other treatment I would definitely give it a try, as these headaches are a terrible burden.  Doctors in the UK have very limited knowledge concerning dietary issues, and I do not know how to get reliable advice from them. Best regards,
