I Got Sick

I came home from school yesterday and was ready to break out my toaster to make some gluten-free waffles for dinner and my mom stopped me and said that I bought you a Greek salad from where they got there pizza from. Now i have orded from here before and know that I am okay with eating there salad. well, I was finishing the last couple of bites and what do i find at the bottom of my salad a SOGGY CRUTON. I totally flipped and I am really paying for it now. It really sucks.

But needless to say my mom called and spoke with the manager and they made me a new salad and delivered it to my house. Restaurants just really dont understand how careful they need to be. But what is somthing that I could do in this case? I def. dont want this to happen again and I have eaten there many of times before and had no problems.

But I am def. hesitant about eating the new salad that they made me. Anyone have any ideas, maybe I could print out that card and give it to them and maybe that will give them a better understanding. Because they know my family in this pizza parlor, because we order from the qite offen. I need some Help!! thanks :)

P.S. celiac3270 not sure where I was supposed to post this??? hope its in the right spot B)

As much as I'm willing to occasionally deal with eating in a restaurant, I will NEVER eat food someone else ordered for me from a restaurant. (I had to turn my boss down when he did this for me one night a bunch of us worked late. I know he didn't understand, but I'm not going to get sick over it.) If _I_ can't be there to explain the situation, and guage how well the person I talked to understands my request, I ain't eatin' it. ;-) But that's how I deal with the situation... Maybe I'm just a control freak. :-) :-P

I don't think we are control freaks, ok well maybe we are, but it's because we HAVE to be in order to stay safe. I feel the same way. If I didn't order it, I am not eating it!!

Yea I understand your position, but this was my mom and she is extremely carefull and explained everthing to them. I still live at home and she goes to all of my doctors appts. with me and has been there for me the entire time, so it is def. there fault. because when she ordered the food she explained to them and that is why i guess they made me a new salad and delivered it to my house. But she is very knowledable about the diease and understands my needs because I live at home. I just think that the resaurtant just slipped up, but they took responsibility and made me a new one.

I was just looking for an idea on how better educated the pizza parlor, just so that they are extra careful everytime! Thanks :D

Haha...Well, whether you posted it in the "dining/eating out section" or you initially posted it there, that's fine :D.

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      Autoimmune diseases tend to cluster. Many of them are found close together on the chromosomes.

      Just giving another update... I was referred to rheumatology, and they suspect that I may also be dealing with fibromyalgia (it has not been formally diagnosed, but just suggested at this point).  So, I am continuing with the anti-inflammatory diet and vitamins and still working to keep getting rid of all these hidden gluten sources, but I also do have another possible explanation for some of the issues that I'm dealing with.

      I would pressure the lab to do the IgA control test for free so that you won't write a poor review about their testing services. You could get this done at any time, whether or not you are gluten-free, however, the celiac disease Tissue Transglutaminase tTG-IgA test must be done after you've been eating lots of gluten for around 6 weeks. This way you could salvage the results of your tTG-IgA test, as long as you were eating lots of gluten beforehand.

      celiac, chocolate and alcohol

      Given your strong reactions it would be wise not to eat things offered to you without reading the ingredient labels. It's possible there was indeed gluten or some allergen in the chocolates--barley malt is a common ingredient in some chocolates.

      Yes, an IgG panel is the logical next step. However, you would still need to be consuming normal amounts of gluten to ensure valid IgG testing. Since it has only been a week that you have been off gluten, there is still likely time to restore antibodies to detectable levels before the blood draw. IgG antibody tests are not quite as specific for celiac disease as are the IGA tests but they are certainly valuable in the case of IGA deficiency. They also seem to have a little more "staying power" in the sense of detecting celiac disease in the case of those who may have already started a gluten-free diet as long as they haven't been on it for an extended period of time. But don't rely on that. Get back on gluten if you can possibly endure it if you intend to go forward with IgG testing. This might be helpful:
