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.

      I wish Dr’s would have these discussions with their patients. So frustrating but will continue to do research. Absolutely love this website. I will post any updates on my testing and results. Thank you

      Small Bowel Resection 12 inches

      Losing 12" of your small bowel is going to present challenges for you in nutritional uptake because you are losing a significant amount of nutritional absorption surface area. You will need to focus on consuming foods that are nutritionally dense and also probably look at some good supplements. If indeed you are having issues with gluten you will need to...

      There are two gluten-related disorders that share many of the same symptoms but differ in nature from each other. One is known as celiac disease or "gluten intolerance". By nature, it is an autoimmune disorder, meaning the ingestion of gluten triggers the body to attack it's own tissues, specifically the lining of the small bowel. This attack causes...

      I have always eaten gluten and never stopped until my recent episode. I started more wheat products as my Dr. requested for the Tissue Transglutaminase Iga Antibody. mye result Value <1.0 Value interpretation: <15.0 Antibody not detected > or =15.0 Antibody detected I do not understand any of it. After eating all that wheat product my body...

      Losing 12" of your small bowel is going to present challenges for you in nutritional uptake because you are losing a significant amount of nutritional absorption surface area. You will need to focus on consuming foods that are nutritionally dense and also probably look at some good supplements. If indeed you are having issues with gluten you will need to educate yourself as to how gluten is hidden in the food supply. There's more to it than just avoiding the major sources of gluten like bread and pasta. It is hidden in so many things you would never expect to find it in like canned tomato soup and soy sauce just to name a few. It can be in pills and medications.  Also, your "yellow diarrhea, constipation and bloating" though these are classic signs of a gluten disorder, could also be related to the post surgical shorter length of your small bowel causing incomplete processing/digestion of food.

      There are two gluten-related disorders that share many of the same symptoms but differ in nature from each other. One is known as celiac disease or "gluten intolerance". By nature, it is an autoimmune disorder, meaning the ingestion of gluten triggers the body to attack it's own tissues, specifically the lining of the small bowel. This attack causes inflammation and produces antibodies that can be detected in the blood by specific tests like the TTG-IGA test you had. Over time, if gluten is not withheld, this inflammation can cause severe damage to the lining of the small bowel and even result in nutrient deficiency related health issues since the small bowel lining is organ where all the nutrition found in our food is absorbed.  The other is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just "gluten sensitivity") which we know less about and are unsure of the exact mechanism of action. It is not an autoimmune disorder and unlike celiac disease it does not damage the lining of the small bowel, though, like celiac disease, it can cause GI distress and it can also do other kinds of damage to the body. It is thought to be more common than celiac disease. Currently, we cannot test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out to arrive at a diagnosis of NCGS. Both disorders require elimination of gluten from the diet.  Either of these disorders can find their onset at any stage of life. We know that celiac disease has a genetic component but the genes are inactive until awakened by some stress event. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% develop active celiac disease. The incidence of NCGS is thought to be considerably higher. I hope this helps.

      I have always eaten gluten and never stopped until my recent episode. I started more wheat products as my Dr. requested for the Tissue Transglutaminase Iga Antibody. mye result Value <1.0 Value interpretation: <15.0 Antibody not detected > or =15.0 Antibody detected I do not understand any of it. After eating all that wheat product my body exploded with all sorts of symptoms. I stop gluten ASAP. I am still in the healing process. I started having issues after my surgery.
