I like it when restaurants have this - lol :)

I am going out to Chili's tonight for dinner, and I went to their website and they have allergen info, including Gluten Free.

Just thought I'd let you all know.

I think it is great too that restaurants are now posting gluten free food items on their sites.

I have looked at Chili's list so many times but have not made it in the restaurant yet... I have called and spoken to one of the managers about what to do whenever we do decide to go eat there, so that was nice and a 1st step.

Pretty much what we talked about was to bring a copy of the Gluten Free Food List in from their site and if I feel comfortable then just order with the waiter or show them the paper and ask for the manager and order with them. I am scared about CC so I think that is why we haven't gone yet. I am thinking about getting it to go so if I did have CC problems then I would be at home with "my" bathroom.

GOOD LUCK -- Will have to let us know what you got and if you felt okay later :)

We went with my son a couple of weeks ago- he ordered off the gluten-free menu and had the potato soup, plain salad

with NOTHING on it (they dont seem to get the croutons/breadstick/ and I don't trust the shredded cheese) and a plain hamburger patty. Of course they have the gluten free menu and my server had an aunt w/ celiac disease, I was so happy-but then they brought his burger on a bun!!!

We have also had success at TGIF- he ordered a plain salad (the first one came w/ a breadstick on top-sent that back) plain flat iron steak and mashed potatoes w/ steamed broccoli. In that restaurant they were so happy to tell me one of the servers has celiac (not in on that day) but like I said the breadstick on the salad! Both times I asked to speak w/ the manager first, discussed cc ect.

I would love to just stay home and cook for him-but both my son's play travel ice hockey and we travel to various places at least once per month-stay in hotels and I am going crazy searching for places he can eat SAFELY! I now have a mini micro and bring stuff w/ me to be safe-but that is not always an option!

I think Chili's is linked w/ a few other restuarants that list gluten-free ingredients, if you go to their websites they have the same webtype listing and menu listing.

Good luck!

      Blood results

      Maybe celiac but maybe NCGS that was misdiagnosed as IBS morphing gradually into celiac. Is NCGS a new category to you? It shares many of the same GI symptoms with celiac disease but does not damage the small bowel lining like celiac.

      Oral thrush question

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Thiamine has antifungal properties.  The body uses thiamine to keep bacteria and yeasts from overgrowth in the digestive system.   Fluconazole use can cause thiamine deficiency.   Supplementing with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine would be beneficial as Benfotiamine promotes intestinal healing.   Thiamine and the other B vitamins tend to be low in Celiac due to malabsorption.  Talk to your doctor about supplementing vitamins and minerals.

      Nutrient deficiencies despite normal MARSH and strict gluten-free diet

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome @Natalia Revelo, your experience is profoundly difficult and, sadly, not entirely unique within the celiac community. It's the frustrating reality of "silent" or ongoing damage that isn't captured by the MARSH score alone, which only measures active villous atrophy. Your normal biopsy suggests your diet is preventing the classic autoimmune attack, but it doesn't mean your gut has fully healed or that other issues aren't at play. The inflammation from your newly discovered milk and egg allergies is a huge clue; this constant allergic response can create a low-grade inflammatory environment that severely hampers nutrient absorption, effectively creating a "leaky gut" scenario independent of celiac damage. This is likely why your iron stores deplete so rapidly—your body is both unable to absorb it efficiently and may be losing it through inflammation. While the functional medicine path is expensive, it's clearly providing answers and relief that traditional gastroenterology, focused solely on the gluten-free diet and biopsy results, is missing. To move forward, continue the gut-healing protocols your functional doctor recommends (perhaps exploring alternative options to glutamine that won't irritate your cystitis), maintain your strict avoidance of all allergens and irritants, and know that true healing is a multi-faceted process. You might seek a second opinion from a different gastroenterologist who is more knowledgeable about non-responsive celiac disease and the complex interplay of food allergies and micronutrient absorption, but your current path, while costly, seems to be leading you toward the steady health you need.

      Blood results

      Have you had a DNA test to look for Celiac disease genes?  If she doesn't have any celiac specific genes, look for another explanation.  If she does have Celiac genes, assume they are turned on and active Celiac disease is progressing.  All first degree relatives (mother, father, siblings, children) should be genetically tested as well.   Sometimes blood tests are ambiguous or false negatives if one has anemia, diabetes or thiamine deficiency.  Certain medications like antihistamines and steroids can suppress the immune system and result in false negatives or ambiguous results on antibody tests.

      That was just the visual report, so need to wait for confirmation or otherwise from the results. They did take a biopsy from the upper end of the duodenum(D1). D2 looked unremarkable on the camera. Just wish we didn’t have to wait so long for the results as she’s naturally a very anxious person. But thanks so much for taking the time to answer me
