Carrabbas Gets A Big Thumbs Up From Me!

I just wanted to share that we went out on a limb and tried Carrabbas in Virginia Beach. We rarely eat out and it is always kind of scary to go someplace new.

So I went in armed with our pre-printed gluten free menu that had disclaimers on it, but when I got in the door, they had a gluten free menu posted and framed up front. That was a good sign.

Then when I told our waiter we would be ordering from the gluten free menu, he said (without looking dumb) No problem, let me know if you want any gluten free paster, and I'll make sure we have some in the kitchen. Woohoo! My son got to eat spaghetti in a restaurant! He was so happy. And I was prepared to have issues with my dinner because it had grilled scallops and shrimp on it. I asked if they could grill it in foil or something. And the waiter says, "No problem, We do this all the time. Never had a problem."

It was so nice to go somewhere that had a grasp on the concept and we didn't have to pay a fortune to eat!

Good stuff!

I didn't know they served gluten free pasta. I looked at their gluten free menu once and didn't see that. Do they all do that? If so, that is great news.

I'm not sure. It wasn't on the menu - It was a pleasant surprise though!

      Symptom treatment of gluten exposure with Anti-inflammatories

      By Bronwyn W · Posted

      Hi, Please can I ask for opinions on using Anti-inflammatories for symptom treatment of inadvertent gluten exposure? Should it be part of a foundational treatment plan, upon inadvertent exposure? Kind Regards,  Bronwyn

      TTG IgA and IGA elevated mildy

      By RMJ · Posted

      In testing for celiac disease total IgA is run just to be sure you’re not deficient (in which case the TTG IgA results would not be reliable). Different labs may have slightly different normal ranges, but the units are usually the same and the results can be compared.  In your case, what is meaningful for celiac disease is that you were not deficient in total IgA for either test. Different labs use different units for the TTG IgA test and there are no conversion factors to turn one into the other. In your case, the labs have another difference - one uses a weak positive category and one doesn’t.  The two results really can’t be compared. In each case you’re slightly into the full positive range for that...

      Does this mean those could raise IgA and TTG IgA in celiacs?

      TTG IgA and IGA elevated mildy

      By thejayland10 · Posted

      One lab said normal range for IgA is 45-325 and TTG IgA anything above 15 means positive for Anitbody    For this one my IGA was 415 and TTG IgA 16.3    The other lab 3 months later said IgA range is 75-425 and TTG IgA anything below 20 is negative, 20-30 weak positive, 30+ positive.  For this one my IGA was 456 and TTG IgA 30.2 CU

      Gluten Free Oats

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum @Mushroom73!  About 8% of celiacs cross react to the oat protein avenin. That means 92% do not. A likely higher percentage probably cross react to CMP (Cow's Milk Protein) https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1810502/. Corn, eggs and soy are also common cross reactors. It would be impossible to eliminate all foods that some proportion of the celiac community cross reacts to and still be able to produce meaningful products. I would also add that it is not true that companies catering to the gluten free community put oats in all their products. That is a gross exaggeration. It is true that oats are found in many gluten...
