Eating Out For Breakfast

I am slowly making progress with eating out on occasion. My biggest issue is speaking up, but I'm working on it!

So what do you all do when faced with eating out for breakfast? How do you order? I really miss Sunday mroning breakfast with my family at the local dive... Okay, well I suppose a "dive" is not an ideal palce to ask for gluten free, lol, but seriously, if I'm at a decent place, how do I instruct them? Any feedback would be great.

Thanks!

We always ask for an omlette (dd likes just cheese) in a clean pan, not put on the grill. I always specify the allergy, explain as easily as I can to make them understand and scare them-just a little on how sick she gets. We always ask for a side of fruit instead of the other sides. I don't trust the hashbrowns anywhere. If we're trying a new place, I will call ahead to see if they can accomidate us. We have found a few places nearby that have been really good to us. I always thank them profusely (sp?) and tip really well. I know each time we've eaten at Elmers, she's gotten sick, so that's out. I think it's just trial and error. I always try to talk with a manager though, that seems to help.

I order Egg-Beaters as they are usually cooked seperately from the regular breakfast foods (More likely to get them cooked in a clean pan versus regular eggs). Skip the bacon / sausage / hash browns and opt for the fruit. Not much for choices but it beats the alternative of getting sick.

Best of Luck

I think breakfast is one of the easiest meals to eat out for. I love omelettes!

I always ask for fried eggs, lol. That way I can SEE what's in them and I figure they need a fairly clean grill for that. I also ask if it's possible that they use oil instead of butter (because of my casein issues). I ask for fresh fruit instead of any breads or potatoes, etc. I basically say that I can't have gluten or dairy, but I don't go into much more than that usually. Now, I will also say that I don't have violent reactions to gluten, if I did I would probably be much more diligent, and I also don't have confirmed celiac...just intolerance.

Be careful when ordering an omlette... I found that some place mix in a bit of pancake batter to make it more "fluffly" so if you do order an omlet be sure to ask if they do this. Otherwise do the egg beaters or fried eggs!

That's what I get too.

I'd probably make more adverturous egg selections if I could have butter though.

      Nausea

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again. When it happens I eat less and lose weight. My gastroenterologist suggested ginger or peppermint tea. I don’t know if that will work or not because I haven't had the problem since she...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet. I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now. He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs. It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc. It's literally neurological inflammation. Not to be taken lightly here. We...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-F...

      Nausea

      Hi all I was diagnosed Coeliac a few years ago and follow a gluten free diet. The list of foods that I can eat without a problem grows shorter on a weekly basis. [I also have diabetes and asthma also]. BUT the reason I am posting this is because I seem to struggle with nausea quite a lot, which is really quite debilitating, and I was wondering...

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you
