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.

      Thankyou so much for your words.Its a hard battle when a supposed well known hospital whose celiac " specialist " has down played me because my colon looks fine and put it in my medical and so pcp doesn't take seriously. In their eyes we all carry that gene.Im having alot of bad days trying to be positive because of it.

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.
