Maryland Gluten Free?

We have been advised not to eat out for awhile until we feel comfortable with the gluten-free lifestyle in our own homes. Is there any restaurants in Maryland people know about? Not like PF changes because frankly i don't trust them. My fiance is very sensitive to gluten so any tips would be great. Do you call the restaurant ahead or bring the celiac disease card with you when you go out to eat?

Out Back Steakhouse worked for me.. That was my first meal out @ a restaurant, since going gluten free back in early June. It never was my favorite spot to eat, but it did allow me to take my wife out for her birthday.. I will do it again.....

btw, What about this celiac disease card?

Hi, just love Balrtimore and have had good luck there. Husband dx over 23 yrs ago and is gluten-free except for mistakes, and I am gluten free 95% of the time. It's much easier to plan menus , cook and generally have a normal relationship with food that he must eat. If you get to Balt. try Roy's (hawian fusion) Down by the waterfront. Don't be turned off by the catagory. They offer wonderful things and have a gluten-free menu that is the best I have ever seen. Most of the time I order from that one also. Don't miss the Choc signature dessert. They are expense but offer a 3 course fixe pixe dinner that is always wonderful also. Very knowledgeable. They have rest. in a lot of the very lge cities. I will also try to find the site i used that lists gluten-free in Balt. Also a place called the Zee mean bean(Spelling) quaint, slavik and wonderful. Hope this gets you started. Most good rests will accomodate your needs if you ask nicely and don't expect a 16 course meal. Good luck,Enjoy

hi again, I found the post that i wrote seeking help, and today I found a much better way to do it. Go to the google custom search box on this site and type in Baltimore maryland gluten free restaurants . You will get my answers plus a number of web addresses that relate to the topic. Specific to baltimore. I opened all them and they 're great. You will end up with about 30plus rest names between all of the sites. Sorry about the typos. I can spell , just can't type !!!Happy eating, you will enjoy life more now that you are free to go a rest of your choice. !! Let us know now you make out with your dining exper. and if you find any more to add to my list, send them along plse.

      I don't see how cornstarch could alter the test results. Where did you read that?

      For pain relief I take a combination of Thiamine (Benfotiamine), Pyridoxine B 6, and Cobalamine B12.  The combination of these three vitamins has analgesic effects.  I have back pain and this really works.  The B vitamins are water soluble and easily excreted.   Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your results!

      Welcome to the forum, @Xravith. I experienced similar symptoms before my diagnosis.  Mine were due to the loss of vitamins and minerals, essential nutrients we must get from our food.  With Celiac Disease, the intestinal lining, made up of thousands of villi, gets damaged and cannot absorb essential vitamins and minerals, especially the eight B vitamins.  The loss of Thiamine B 1 can cause muscle loss, inability to gain weight, edema (swelling), fatigue, migraines and palpitations.  Low thiamine can cause Gastrointestinal Beriberi with symptoms of nausea, abdominal pain and bloating.   Thiamine is only stored for a couple of weeks, so if you don't absorb enough from food daily, as the thiamine deficiency worsens physical symptoms gradually worsen.  If you're eating lots of carbs (like gluten containing foods usually do), you need more thiamine to process them (called high calorie malnutrition).  Thiamine works with all the other B vitamins, so if you're low in one, you're probably getting low in the others, too, and minerals like iron, magnesium, zinc, and calcium, as well as Vitamin D..  Talk to your doctor about checking for nutritional deficiencies.  Most doctors rarely recognize vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially in thiamine. Get a DNA test to see if you carry any Celiac genes.  If you do not have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably IBS.  If you do have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably Celiac.  I was misdiagnosed with IBS for years before my Celiac diagnosis.   Keep us posted on your progress. P. S. Deficiency in thiamine can cause false negatives on antibody tests, as can diabetes and anemia.

      No she didn't because if I want to ask I have to pay 700$ for 1 hour appointment so I couldn't even ask. I read that fillers like cornstash can alter the result and tylenol contains it so that's why I tried to find someone who can answer.

      Did the GI doc give you any rational for stopping the Tylenol during the gluten challenge? I have never heard of this before and I can't imagine a good reason for it. Ibuprofen, maybe, because it is an anti inflammatory but acetaminophen?  I don't see that it would have any impact on the test results to take Tylenol.
