Hey,

Just had dinner at Carrabas last night

Open Original Shared Link

I had

1. Mama's Chicken Soup (no pasta)

2. Cesar Salad (no croutons. dressing on the side, extra parmesan)

3. Pollo Rosa Maria (chiken dish stuffed with provolone, prosciutto and covered in a lemon basil butter sauce (yummy!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

All of this for $19.00

I highly recommend Carrabas (ask for the gluten free menu from the waitress, follow the directions on the menu, then enjoy your gluten-free meal!)

I have enjoyed Carrabas gluten free menu, but do not have the garlic potatos! They assured the ingredients for the potatos were gluten free, but I had the gluten reaction. There is too much cross contamination risk. Go for the steamed vegetables instead.

Laura,

I had the garlic mashed potatoes and didn't have a reation.

They were great too. I'm sorry they had a malevolent effect on you :(

The best part of the meal was the pollo rosa maria. (The soup and salad were no slouches either)

I have been eating at Carrabbas on a regular basis but I had a bad experience the last time I went. I got the Mama Maria's chicken soup and asked for no pasta. I checked through it before eating it and didn't see any. Then after my 3rd spoonful I found a small piece of pasta. The manager apologized but that was it. I actually wrote an email to Carrabbas telling them that if they are going to offer the soup on the gluten free menu that they have to be extremely careful in the kitchen and make sure everything is separate. The manager said he will discuss this with the kitchen staff to make sure that everyone is knowledgable about the disease and that it won't happen again. They also sent me a $45 gift certificate.

What a shame! At least they gave you a GC.

Oh well, the way I look at it, we have to deal with "humans", so they are going to make mistakes -- we just have to frequent the ones who make less mistakes than others.

In any event, I do love their food. Especially for the money.

I also love that soup....I hope I never find pasta in mine :(

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      A lot to think about here. Does anyone have any recommendations for third party laboratories that will do full panel celiac screens private pay in the U.S.?

      You don't need an official diagnosis to request a gluten-free diet in either a hospital or nursing home--this can be requested by anyone. The higher costs associated with existing conditions for life insurance is a reality, and regardless of your politics, it could become a reality again for health insurance in the USA. For many this could make health insurance unaffordable, thus, everyone who is undiagnosed should understand such potential consequences before they go the official diagnostic route. As mentioned, once it's on your medical record, it won't go away.
