Going Out To Eat?

SO my college graduation is next saturday and my mom is coming out. She's wants to go out to eat afterwards, but there is really nowhere in this town I can eat out at...and nowhere under 30 mins away that will cater to gluten-free.

it's basically all fast food places with applebees, denny's being the only real sit down places and some locally run resturants that are really expensive (which might cater gluten-free) but to me its not even worth it b/c of price (like $20 meals!) and the risk of not feeling well. Plus they require reservations- blah! we definitly cant afford that...

I thought it would be better if I just made a nice dinner for my mom, but I dunno if that seems wierd (since I am the one graduating) but I really like cooking for other people...so i dunno...It would be nice to go out to eat, but like I said its not worth it. And I have talked to several resturants in the town before- they all have heard of gluten, but really dont understand it....just not worth the risk for me....

I understand where you are coming from, but it sounds like a great idea just to have dinner at your place. Since none of the restraunts you mention tend to have any food you can eat. And no, it is not wierd to make dinner even if you are the one graduating. Tell your ma about it so she can bring something that she has made, or she may even want to make dinner and bring it all her self, seeing that you are the one graduating. I don't know your ma so you would know how she would be. If you want to make dinner for starters, how about a salad, steak, baked potato. Just to give you an idea. Congrats on your graduation!

thanks! yeah. my mom still hasnt grasped the whole CC thing. I went over there for mothers day yeterday and couldn't eat the BBQ chicken my brother made b/c the sauce had wheat in it and he put the chicken on a baking tray that has been used to bake cookies with for years... They said "we can just wash he BBQ sauce off for you, theres not that much in there." I didnt get upset b/c I just assumed somehting like this would happen and brought my own noodle salad to eat. My family inderstands gluten-free but not CC...its just one of those things that will take forever for them to comprhend..if they ever do. but I dont bother them with it b/c I dont like causing stress or making people go out of the way for me. I just rather enjoy company and being happy rather than worrying about food....my family is based around food all the time lol

anyways...I'm just rambling...

Congratulations on your graduation!! My daughter graduated 2 weeks ago and we went back to my son's place and grilled some chicken. It was beautiful weather and we all just enjoyed being together. This Saturday she is coming here and we're throwing her an open house just for her in her hometown. I'm the one with celiac disease so I won't really have any special food for me as it's just cake and punch. I usually don't have time to eat at those occasions anyway.

I agree with you that the best thing is just being together and not stressing about the food.

well I suggested to my mom that I could make something at my apt. and she doesnt like the idea and still wants to go out to eat-lol. A friend suggested to a me a coffee shop in the town that I may be able to eat at. I looked at thier menu online and its basically salads and sandwiches. so I e-mailed them about the salads. its a privately owned place and the person who owns it went to culunary school....so maybe.....

if not. I saw grilles at wal mart for $9, I was thinking of buying one and just grilling chicken like you mentioned above :lol: sounds way more fun to me!

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions...

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      My question I have proposed to the FDA through their website is why Prescription and OTC drug manufacturers are not required to list what binding ingredients were used to bine the drug? They list this on Capsules which are made of cellulose but not on pills? As it stands I or my pharmacist must contact the manufacturer to find out and my list is long from...

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!
