I found this link and thought I'd share.

Open Original Shared Link :o

By David Zinczenko, editor-in-chief of Men's Health and author of Eat This, Not That

Just a few clues in case you ever wondered why America has become so fat and unhealthy . . . . :angry:

This might also make you feel better about not wanting to eat out. Your inner excuse is cross-contamination. Your excuse you give people is info like this. And ask them why they want to eat this stuff! :ph34r:

Yuck.

Thanks for the link.. that was a fascinating read. I'm in Texas, so there is no hope of forcing places here to provide that data.

On the bright side, most of this doesn't apply to us. Pecan Chicken Crusted Salad? Sounds like it has gluten. Mozzarella sticks? Totally breaded.

And any place that won't disclose nutritional info, including ingredients, Celiacs shouldn't want to patronize anyway. ;)

I just dont eat at those places...havent in over 12 years.....when I became a "health nut"....LOL

Yeah...there is a lot of nasty food out there folks!

I think it a no-brainer that anything consumed at those restaurants would not be good for you, even without the nutritional information.

Portion sizes are so big, it's ridiculous. Being diagnosed with celiac disease is actually a good thing as it prevents most people that follow the diet from even thinking of eating there. I don't know why there is all this discussion about what is causing obesity in this country.....too much food and too little movement.

      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.    
    • Scott Adams
      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?

      @JettaGirl, "Coeliac" is the British spelling of "celiac". Same disease. 
    • JettaGirl
      This may sound ridiculous but is this supposed to say Celiacs? I looked up Coeliacs because you never know, there’s a lot of diseases related to a disease that they come up with similar names for. It’s probably meant to say Celiacs but I just wanted to confirm.

      I was told it was to see how much damage has been caused. But just told CT with contrast not any other name for it.
