Has Anyone Ever Asked A Restaurant...

My daughter was a manager at a Macaroni Grill in suburban Philadelphia and they had a family who were "regulars" with a celiac child. They would use a clean pot (beware the constantly boiling restaurant pasta pot) and cook this little girl some gluten free pasta so she could enjoy eating out with her parents.

Has anyone asked? And what's the response you've gotten?

I was out with friends last night and there was a "macaroni gratin" on the menu that I'd have killed for and I thought I should start asking!! The worst they can say is "no," right??

I've never asked, but you're right, all they can say is no :) But YES beware those pots! And not only pots ... forks, spoons etc. I picked up a cup at a coffee shop not long ago with crumbs in it. Dishwasher didn't do a very good job! :blink:

Let us know what reaction you get!

Some state laws do not allow that to be done. It depends on your area.

If this is any help, the Olive Garden in California will prepare your own pasta. But be careful of cross contamination.

Be well

      Let me hasten to add that if you will be undergoing an endoscopy/biopsy, it is critical that you do not begin efforts to reduce gluten beforehand. Doing so will render the results invalid as it will allow the small bowel lining to heal and, therefore, obscure the damage done by celiac disease which is what the biopsy is looking for.

      That’s a really tough situation. A few key points: as mentioned, a gluten challenge does require daily gluten for several weeks to make blood tests meaningful, but negative tests after limited exposure aren’t reliable. Dermatitis herpetiformis can also be tricky to diagnose unless the biopsy is taken from normal-looking skin next to a lesion. Some people with celiac or DH don’t react every time they’re exposed, so lack of symptoms doesn’t rule it out. Given your history and family cancer risk, this is something I’d strongly discuss with a celiac-experienced gastroenterologist or dermatologist before attempting a challenge on your own, so risks and benefits are clearly weighed.

      https://celiac.org/glutenexposuremarkers/    yes, two hours after accidents ingesting gluten I am vomiting and then diarrhea- then exhaustion and a headache. see the article above- There is research that shows our reactions.

      Concerning the EMA positive result, the EMA was the original blood test developed to detect celiac disease and has largely been replaced by the tTG-IGA which has a similar reliability confidence but is much less expensive to run. Yes, a positive EMA is very strong evidence of celiac disease but not foolproof. In the UK, a tTG-IGA score that is 10x normal or greater will often result in foregoing the endoscopy/biopsy. Weaker positives on the tTG-IGA still trigger the endoscopy/biopsy. That protocol is being considered in the US but is not yet in place.
