The weekend before Christmas we took my stepson to dinner at Open Original Shared Link in Silver Lake. Actually we took almost the whole family and it was for his birthday. Anyways, they do have a gluten free menu but it isn't completely up to date with their current regular menu. The server was very helpful, I didn't ask for a gluten-free menu but she overheard me say something and brought me the menu. She told me what had changed since that one was printed. She also double checked and I was able to eat the spring rolls and the sauce on them. I will admit I didn't check the label, she did. I know that could have been bad, but I ended up eating a wonderful meal and not getting sick at all. NOTHING la la la so happy about that.

Open Original Shared Link on the other hand, I always get sick. The only one we eat at is in Alderwood mall and I always get sick. I can order a plain salad with vinegar oil dressing and get sick. I am not about to tell any server there I am eating the way I am for a reason, they are all young and I don't think they would get it. I didn't want to eat there but we were at the mall and I hadn't eaten and I figured the plainest of foods I might be ok. NOPE it is settled we won't eat there again. SIGH I got so sick. Thankfully it wasn't for days on end but it was not good. I know I have mentioned them before and I know I didn't want to eat there again but now I know, I would rather starve! Oh the irony, it practically is starving after eating there isn't it?

Next time you are at/near the mall, go to the Old Spaghetti Factory on 196th. They have a gluten free menu. You'll have to tell them "no bread", otherwise they will bring it. You might also try A.P. Barbara's, also on 196th. They do not have a gluten free menu but have been good to work with us on our food issues. Daughter usually gets a steak with no seasonings. I get the chopped sirloin. Or we get the hummus appetizer, subbing cucmber slices for the pita bread. We also dine frequently at the Old Country Buffet. We are very careful there, knowing that cross contamination is an issue. We tend to take only things that are freshly put out and we tend to stick to things like vegetables and plain fruit.

      Alcohol

      By Suze046 · Posted

      Hey! I’m recently gluten free and yes I really struggle with alcohol now. I haven’t really drank in 2 months as it just made me feel awful the next day in terms of stomach ache mainly. I’ve had a couple of glasses of white wine here and there (mainly low sulphate) but every time it gives me a gut ache. I think it’s because but guy is so damaged from my journey to discovering my gluten intolerance and hopefully this will improve but honestly I’m just not bothered about having a drink now. I can’t even touch Prosecco or champagne I think the bubbles really upset me!

      I just wanted to share my support for you. Rant away. We all know that, and have experiences like that at some point. I am sorry for that very unpleasant, and emotionally isolating reminder of your medical condition. Which always is exacerbated by the hunger. I will admit many of my family friends, and coworkers found it easier to exclude me than to accommodate me. I also have to be very strict with cross contamination so in hindsight they did me a favor.  The sting however can often still be unearthed when I read experiences like yours.  I am sorry you had that occur. I hope you, and the coworkers can find the easy more accommodating experiences again after this unfortunate incident. Best wishes.

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      By Awol cast iron stomach · Posted

      "...hemorrhoids, constipation and diarrhea" . Heard of indeed. Experienced too. In hindsight, I can remember from age 2 having, and trying to convey my issues. I went 38 years misdiagnosed. So yes one can have these issues. I did have to go back on gluten for a gluten challenge. I failed that challenge and 6 days in they give me permission to stop, and I proceed with my scopes as scheduled. Post those 6 days I had gained 13 intolerances. I had to remove many foods, and reintroduce them back in. Nine years later I have two that remain gluten, and corn. I found it helpful to follow a whole foods diet. I also found autoimmune (AIP) protocol diet/recipes, and Paleo diet/recipes helpful. I still enjoy many of those homemade version recipes. I still continue to make my own salad dressings even if I can find a gluten-free store bought version. Fresh taste best to this palate now.  I did give up many grains I was off many and reverted to coconut flour and almond flour as work arounds .  I still remember the first time my gut experienced the reintroduction of quinoa. It wasn't sure if it wanted to flare or not. In 30 minutes it reported back ok this will pass. Many foods were removed post gluten challenge for me for 2 years and 4 months. At the 2 year 4 month mark is when my body said ok let's eat again, but don't ever feed me gluten again! I wish you the best.

      if you have already learned that Gluten is the cause of your symptoms, of course there is no need to add it back into your diet— your decision could save you a lot of needless suffering. One thing to consider is that if you do have celiac disease, your first- degree relatives may also need to get screened for it, because, like diabetes the disease is genetic, although many of its triggers seem to be environmental factors. You may want to consider getting a genetic test for celiac disease, so you can at least warn your relatives if it turns out that you do carry a celiac gene.
