Feeling Frustrated And Frazzled

I am feeling frustrated and frazzled, and dumbfounded that Houston - which is a very large city, one of the largest in the US, seems to have very little in the way of gluten free dining (especially at an affordable price.) Surely, there has got to be more than what I've come across. I've gone to the gluten free directory lists, and see that they are 3,4,5 pages long, YET ... the majority of those pages are the same restaurant just the 389472 locations in the city :angry:

So I am going out tonight, and I get to pick the place (Need it to be cost effective, I'm on a budget. The person I am going with does not want Mexican, we recently had Chili's, and neither of us want Souper! Salad) so... what's a gluten free newbie gal to do?

Help, anyone?

Hi Jessica.

Here are a few other places: Pei Wei and Outback. Ask for the Gluten Free menu.

Also, I believe, but you may want to check to make sure they have a gluten-free menu, Carrabas and Carinos if you want Italian.

Have fun!

      Gluten-Mimicking Proteins that can affect some Celiac individuals.

      Thank you for sharing your experience, Florence. It’s important to clarify, though, that proteins like zein in corn, panicin in millet, and kafirin in sorghum are not considered gluten and have not been shown to trigger the same autoimmune intestinal damage seen in celiac disease. Some people with celiac disease do report symptoms with certain gluten-free g...

      Current careteam is still up in the air about my celiac thanks to me googling "celiac specialist" what popped  up was once known as a good name hospital back in the days. I went in for answers for my declining health, it was the autoimmune part that did me in, being a former bus driver.I read that in my medical records so easily downplayed, i refused the gluten challenge! Why the hell would I eat Gluten when im Celiac coming to them for answers when my body is falling apart? Glutenfree since 1994. They did unnecessary colonoscopy KNOWING im glutenfree. A celiac specialist would know that would be pointless to do if not eating gluten and it was done!Im so angery with that hospital for not explaining celiac disease and withholding information, Downplaying my ailments , mental distress,  causing more health issues, ect. All this could have been avoided If medical records were sent, when asked, explained and done properly. Im so angery.I do have the celiac dietitian on here in June and linked her up to my current health care yesterday, fingers crossed hopefully with that, the understanding of celiac is explained it's not just a food allergy will be understood.

      Thank you for sharing your experience, Florence. It’s important to clarify, though, that proteins like zein in corn, panicin in millet, and kafirin in sorghum are not considered gluten and have not been shown to trigger the same autoimmune intestinal damage seen in celiac disease. Some people with celiac disease do report symptoms with certain gluten-free grains, oats, or other foods, but that reflects individual intolerance or sensitivity—not a proven “gluten-mimic” effect that damages the small intestine. Certified gluten-free oats are considered safe for most people with celiac disease, though a small subset may react to avenin. If specific foods consistently cause symptoms for you, it makes sense to avoid them personally, but it’s helpful for readers to know that these foods are still medically classified as gluten-free and generally safe for the broader celiac community.
