Panera For My 2 Year Old

My 2 year old was diagnosed in May. I'm very wary of eating out with her but have done some research and want to try. Anyway, went to Panera Bread today with a print out of 'safe' menu items, got flustered when ordering and ended up with the Fuji Chicken Salad for me and her to share. The 'chef' got kind of mad with my husband when he insisted she change gloves etc....long story short, when it came it had gorgonzola cheese???? Isn't the blue 'mold' in cheese made using wheat??

So I ate the salad and she had 4 yoghurts and potato chips.

Can anyone fill me in on the cheese thing?

The consensus is that most blue cheeses do not contain wheat, but some do.

I would email Panera to confirm their gorgonzola is gluten-free, just ask them the name of the company that supplies them with the cheese.

Also, there are several soups on the menu that are gluten-free.

I have a two year old who is gluten-free and when we go I either go on a day where the gluten-free soups are served, or I bring his lunch with. I strongly suggest in investing in a small soft sided cooler and a couple of Lock&Lock sectioned containers for carrying around food. I don't leave the house with my celiac two year old without some sort of snack.

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      By trents · Posted

      @dmallbee, about 8% of celiacs react to the oat protein avenin like they do to the wheat protein gluten. In addition, there are some cultivars of oats that apparently do actually contain gluten.

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      By dmallbee · Posted

      I was diagnosed at 18 months old with celiac and lived without wheat, rye, oats, and barley as instructed by my doctor, Dr. Katz at Boston Children's Hospital in the 60's and 70's. I don't agree nor recommend doctors removing oats from restriction, certified gluten-free or not.  I have eaten certified gluten free oats and have had the usual reactions to gluten.  Please reconsider this with newly diagnosed patients.

      European travel with Celiac Disease

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's great to hear that the trip went well, and the general consensus I hear about gluten-free travel in Europe, including my own experiences, is that it is much easier done in comparison to traveling and eating gluten-free in the USA.

      Safely home from my recent trip to the UK. I had zero gut issues while traveling around this pretty country. Our tour leader was very good at making sure the 2 of us with gluten issues on our tour were well taken care of.  We often got our meals before the rest of the group and adaptations to the menu for us were well thought out and very tasty. I just wish restaurants here in the USA took as much pride in making food that everyone can enjoy. Many of the hotels and pubs we ate at had numerous options that were safe for us with wheat/gluten restrictions to eat.
