I'm thrilled! :) We haven't eaten out as a family in over 6 months. It was not kiddo's first time gluten-free, he's had Wendy's twice but it was still a big deal for him and it was my first being gluten-free/CF AND low carb AND sugar-free. We had a tasty meal that met ALL our restrictions and left me with BG numbers that I am comfortable with. Yay! And I didn't have to cook it or wash the dishes! Kiddo was a little bummed that he couldn't have mac and cheese. He was OK until he saw the regular menu. :( But he really liked what he ordered. Thanks to the online info about gluten, dairy, diabetes and carbs we were prepared to order and our server was well prepared too. Happy dance being done here!

Wow! How wonderful, despite all of your restrictions, that you were all able to eat out successfully :D

Yea! I love when you can eat out and you have a great time and there are no after affects. I'm so glad you had a good dinner. I've had good luck with Outback as well.

Outback is one of my favorites now!

I did ONCE have to send a caesar salad back to the kitchen because it had crumbs in it -- fortunately I saw them (and fed some to my husband for identification) before taking a bite; but the waiter was VERY nice about it appeared just as horrified as I was that his instructions apparently hadn't been followed (looked like they just took the croutons off the top instead of making a fresh salad). He watched over them as they made the replacement salad, and I got the feeling someone had a nice talking-to in the kitchen.

The moral of the story: you still have to be careful, even at Outback -- some people "get it" and some don't. But I feel a lot safer there than I do most places.

They even make a gluten-free flourless brownie... and since I'm allergic to nuts, they've also told me if I call ahead (the day before) they'll make one without the nuts for me. I plan to do that for my birthday this year!!

Outback is awesome. :-)

That's good to know. I'll have to remember that. Kiddo has been wanting to try things that he would not have gotten before, I think because he's still overcoming the feelings of missing out on other stuff. He had the brownie but we may want to eliminate the nuts next time.

Yay! Congrats on the successful meal!

Outback is, thus far, my 'go to' restaurant when we go out - which isn't often, but they do a great job for me. :) We've eaten there several times with no problems [knocking on wood :unsure: ].

The flourless brownie is TO.DIE.FOR. Good to know I can order ahead with no nuts! I don't have a problem with them, digestive wise, but if I can get it without, I'd rather have it that way. :)

And just another FYI........if you order online to do curbside pickup, you can type in explicit instructions for your food (ex. if you order green beans, and need to leave off the seasonings, just type 'no seasoning' in the special instructions box), and everything is labeled in containers (assuming you add labels when you're ordering online) when you get it home, so no guessing as to what food belongs to whom! I was really nervous about this when we tried it, but it worked out great (I ordered the salmon and a baked potato - pretty safe, but still!).

Hooray Outback! :D

That's good to know too! I could order online and have DH pick it up on the way home.

Agreed. Outback is pretty great. And I feel especially safe after the last time I ate there since our waitress was telling us how detailed their Celiac training is for the staff. She said they have to watch a long video with people on it talking about how sensitive they are to gluten and will get very sick if anything non-gluten-free is touching their food.

Everyone, be sure to thank them for their gluten free menu and staff training.

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning?

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning? Hello. I've had another similar episode. I find it very difficult to differentiate between the symptoms of a cold or flu and those caused by gluten poisoning. In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive...

      I'm no longer dealing with constipation. I got my liver test last month and it was in normal range. Two years ago I did have a vitamin D deficiency but I'm know taking vitamin D3 pills. Last month I got my vitamin D checked and it was in normal range. I don't believe I've had my choline checked. However, I do drink almond milk eat Greek yogurt on a daily...

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange.

      Celiac disease symptoms

      If you have hemorrhoids 1x weekly I don't see how you have time to heal from one episode before you experience another one, unless each one is a very minor event. Have you consulted a physician about your hemorrhoid issue? It's not normal to be having an episode every week unless it is really one episode that is not completely healing between weekly...

In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive, to produce symptoms similar to those of gluten poisoning.

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange. Have you been supplementing Iron? How are your liver enzymes? Low levels of ferritin indicate iron deficiency, while  59% transferrin saturation indicates high iron levels.  Possibly indicating Fatty Liver Disease.  Choline is crucial for liver health, and deficiency is a known trigger for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver.  Some experts say that less than 10% eat the the Food and Nutrition Board established Adequate Intake that are based on the prevention of liver damage. Severe constipation and hemorrhoids may be linked to a bile or choline deficiency.  "Ninety-five percent of phospholipids (PLs) in bile is secreted as phosphatidylcholine or lecithin."  Fatty acid composition of phospholipids in bile in man   Deficiency of these bile salts causes the bile to get thick. Some people with Celiac Disease are misdiagnosed with Gall Bladder bile issues.  Removal of the gallbladder provides only temporary relief. Whether or not celiac disease or NCGS are your issues you need to look at your vitamin D blood level.
