Grilled Meat

Does anyone know what is in the grill baste that is used in restaurants. I am not talking about marinated meat that could have soy sauce. Just seasoned and grilled. Sometimes I order a plain grilled chicken or steak and get very sick. I'd like to be able to ask the waitstaff what to ask the kitchen specifically, since they don't always understand what "gluten free" means.

I read on this forum once that some restauants spray Baker's Joy on their steaks to keep them from sticking and that contains gluten.

Don't know about most restaurants, but Carabba's has a gluten free menu and you have to oder WITHOUT the grill baste.

A good rule of thumb is "when in doubt, don't". When restaurants just don't get it, that's when you order a salad without dressing/croutons and drag out your own dressing out of your purse/pocket.

Another possibility is the seasoning that a restaurant may use. I've seen restaurant kitchens where the chefs make their own seasonings (very well gluten free ones at that) but they are using their fingers to sprinkle on the seasonings after just assembling a hamburger with bun. Its best to say no seasonings and carry your own. You can eat out but always ask questions and as Lisa says "when in doubt do without". I've snuck in my own sandwhiches etc. to many restaurants just incase (i carry a VERY large purse ;) ) I don't feel comfortable. The servers rarely notice since I get a salad with dressing on the side and no croutons, plus I usually order a very nice glass of wine so they are usually fine with me.

      Celiac getting dentures

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.

      Fighting for a name

      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.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.
