Beware Of Bakers Joy

I have mentioned before that my husband and I own restaurants. My husband is also the local restaurant association president so we see alot of kitchens. Alot of steak houses will spray the steaks so they won't stick to the grill with a restaurant supply source that is like Pam but some also use the bakers joy (contains wheat). Not trying to scare anyone, the restaurants that are known for gluten free menu's such as carraba's and outback do NOT use this practice. Just want to give a heads up on something you should ask about if going to a steak house that is not gluten savvy.

Yes, I agree that there isn't a good reason to do this. Bakers Joy is usually used for the Pantry Chef for Dessert items so again if ordering a dessert make sure they don't use bakers joy. Don't know of anymore tricks but can suggest a couple of things. Chefs are always proud of their kitchens and their food, always ask for them if you can or call ahead to talk to them. They don't mind (unless your calling them during the peak of business) talking about the preparation of your food infact, they usually enjoy it (the good ones). I would never just ask to see the manager because the front of the house usually doesn't get involved with the food preparation and may misunderstand. Also, always try to dine when its not as busy such as before the rush or after the rush then chances of accidental cc are fewer or hopeful nil. Your more expensive restaurants with a culinary chef are always your best bet since almost everything is made from scratch and they know exactly what goes into every item. My fine dining chef just ordered me some chestnut flour that he's excited about, I don't know what I'm going to do with it yet...I'm not anything close to a chef :lol:

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
