Invited Out To Dinner At A Spaghetti Factory!

We have just decided yesterday to put our baby girl on a gluten free diet since our elimination of dairy had not helped her 100%.

We had previously been invited to a birthday party at the Old Spaghetti Factory!

I checked their menue and besides chicken fingers and french fries, which I assume would have batter my daughter can't eat a thing!

I am thinking of making my own rice pasta and sauce and brining it with us.

What would you do?

I don't know where you are from but most of the spaghetti factories offer gluten free pasta (corn) with some sauces that are safe. We just got back from dinner out at OSF. The marinara sauce is safe, as well as the mushroom sauce and Mizithra. The pesto salad dressing is safe as well. They do have a gluten free menu list, you just need to ask for it and clarify that the meals are gluten free when you order.

We eat at OSF occasionally and have never had a problem. I do make a point to tell the waitstaff WHY we're ordering the rice pasta and ask that an allergy alert be placed next to our order. From my observation, I always ask now for the bread to be sliced in the kitchen before brought to the table--unless you can avoid the bread altogether. The bread is very crusty and crumbs fly EVERYWHERE!

If you dont want to go to the rice pasta way, they will make a side of broccoli with their brown butter and cheese if you ask. Make sure you mention that it needs to not be cooked in the same water as the pasta. They were able to make that for me as well as a chicken breast with marinara sauce.

      Lymph nodes

      By Soleihey · Posted

      Has anyone experimenced enlarged lymph nodes with celiac? Both in the neck and groin area. Imaging of both areas have said that lymph nodes are reactive in nature. However, they have been present for months and just wondering how long this may take to go down. Been gluten-free for about two months. Blood counts are normal.

      Hmm interesting I just assumed that any “IGA” tests including the DPG iga would be negative in a person who is IGA deficient but maybe that is not the case for the DPG test.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      If you were just diagnosed I can say that if you go 100% gluten-free should should see dramatic improvement of your symptoms over the next few months, but the hard part is to stay gluten-free. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      From the article I linked above: DGP-IgA and DGP-IgG (Deamidated Gliadin Peptide) Blood Tests for Celiac Disease These tests measure the levels of antibodies in the blood, but specifically targets deamidated gliadin peptides, which are a type of gluten protein that can trigger an immune response in people with celiac disease. The test is not always included in adults, but should be in cases with IgA deficiency.  I'm not sure if this is a grammatical error or not but in the context, two tests are being spoken of together so it could be intended to say, "These tests". I'll ask Scott about that.
