There is a place called DB's Mongolian Grill, Everything Gluten Free is clearly labeled, and everyone there is very knowledgeable if you have any questions...and it was delicious!! They just opened near me in Minnesota, but they appear to be all over the top/east half of the US. Just so everyone knows, it was really good!!! Here's the website....

Do they use a separate cooking surface, or are all their ingredients gluten-free? That would be just great! I miss eating at the "mongolian grill" in our town. They clean their grill (common cooking surface) with only hot water, so it's not safe for us.

They offer to take your food in the back to cook it, and they even come show you that their utensils are clean. Not all ingredients are gluten free, but the ones that are gluten free are clearly labeled. The sauces that are gluten free are elevated above the other sauces so nothing an drip in or anything. It was great!

:D Excellent! I love it when restaurants are helpful and accomodating. I went to a xmas party @ Cheesecake Factory this weekend. The waitress flat out told me they didn't have anything gluten free when I asked what I could order--she seemed to think gluten-free as a "fad" diet.

Awesome! I see there's one that's not too far away from my house. I'll take a look at their menu! Thanks!

I hate when people act like that.... :( If I could eat gluten I would have at it like I always did before!!

I am so happy to hear that about the Mongolean Grill!!!! That's our favorite place to eat. I have to go over to UofM hospital in Ann Arbor about 4 times a year and we always stop there for lunch before we head home.

Thanks for the help. I'm new at this so I've been reading a lot about it lately.

Wanted to add my props for BD's Mongolian Grill as well. I was eating out with friends and they suggested this place. I was mortified, of course, because I'm hesitant to eat at any new place that I don't already know is safe. but they did the research and wrote down the gluten free items for me, etc., so I went with. I winced at the fact that the chicken on the food bar was right near the pasta, and I winced at the sauces being near each other and chose a gluten free one that sat at the top (thus the others wouldn't drip into it), I winced when they took my food back to the secret 'grill for people with allergies' since I couldn't watch them like a hawk...I winced at a lot of things...but at the end of the day, I didn't get sick from it. I thought the food was very very good and flavorful. I need to go back so I can enjoy it more. Each scrumptious bite I took, at the time, was laced with my secret fear that I'd be getting sick from it later. But now that I came out unharmed...I want to go back, lol.

So yey. Basically you just choose raw meat and raw veggies and they fry it for you separate. I avoided the spices and any meat that was already seasoned, and obviously chose a gluten free sauce. I also ventured to eat the white rice they brought out and didn't get sick.

One caution about BD's: the one near me keeps ALL their sauces on a bar in their labeled containers, and it's VERY easy for the the gluteny sauces to drip in the safe ones when people are ladling them out (a common problem at any buffet-style restaurant). I advised my server that this was kind of risky to have all the sauces next to each other and suggested that they put the gluten-free ones in a designated spot. She said it's because of space limitations that they have keep them all together on the bar. That was kinda odd to me, since they make such a big deal about being allergy conscious :blink: ....but anyway, she said that I could always ask them to get my sauce separately from the kitchen so I didn't have to worry about "drippings". Just a word to the wise....

Good idea. I purposely chose a gluten free one that was resting at the top for the drippage reason. But next time I might just ask for it from the back to be safe.

FYI: Not everything is "clearly" labeled. Their crab meat is artificial and has gluten in it.

Hopefully you talked to the manager and did not let this just go.

Email them a complaint at least.

      Low iron and vitamin d

      A low tTG is great news, but it doesn’t always mean the small intestine has fully healed yet—iron and vitamin D absorption can lag behind for months or even years, especially in young children. Many kids need supplements for a period of time while the gut repairs itself, and that doesn’t necessarily mean it will be lifelong. Morning stomach pain is also ...

      Healthy Gluten Free Foods low sugar that you found?

      A lot of gluten-free packaged foods do rely on extra sugar, starches, or sodium to replace texture and flavor, so focusing on simpler options makes sense. Many people do better with naturally gluten-free proteins like eggs, plain yogurt, nuts, seeds, hummus, beans, and minimally processed protein bars with lower added sugar and higher fiber. Pairing those...

Clearer labeling would help reduce accidental gluten exposure and make it easier to identify hidden sources of gluten in foods. I encourage everyone here who is affected by celiac or gluten sensitivity to read the announcement and submit their own suggestions — real lived experience matters and can influence policy changes that benefit the whole community.

      Low iron and vitamin d

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      A low tTG is great news, but it doesn’t always mean the small intestine has fully healed yet—iron and vitamin D absorption can lag behind for months or even years, especially in young children. Many kids need supplements for a period of time while the gut repairs itself, and that doesn’t necessarily mean it will be lifelong. Morning stomach pain is also commonly reported in celiac kids and can be related to slow healing, reflux, motility, or even low iron itself. It sounds like the supplements are clearly helping, which is reassuring, and ongoing monitoring with her doctor can help determine when (or if) doses can be reduced as absorption improves. The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs.

Many people do better with naturally gluten-free proteins like eggs, plain yogurt, nuts, seeds, hummus, beans, and minimally processed protein bars with lower added sugar and higher fiber. Pairing those with whole foods can help you feel more “normal” without triggering symptoms. Subscription boxes can be hit or miss, so checking labels carefully and using them as an occasional supplement—rather than a staple—often works best.

      Accuracy of testing concerns

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @McKinleyWY, For a genetic test, you don't have to eat gluten, but this will only show if you have the genes necessary for the development of Celiac disease.  It will not show if you have active Celiac disease.   Eating gluten stimulates the production of antibodies against gluten which mistakenly attack our own bodies.  The antibodies are produced in the small intestines.  Three grams of gluten are enough to make you feel sick and ramp up anti-gluten antibody production and inflammation for two years afterwards.  However, TEN grams of gluten or more per day for two weeks is required to stimulate anti-gluten antibodies' production enough so that the anti-gluten antibodies move out of the intestines and into the bloodstream where they can be measured in blood tests.  This level of anti-gluten antibodies also causes measurable damage to the lining of the intestines as seen on biopsy samples taken during an endoscopy (the "gold standard" of Celiac diagnosis).   Since you have been experimenting with whole wheat bread in the past year or so, possibly getting cross contaminated in a mixed household, and your immune system is still so sensitized to gluten consumption, you may want to go ahead with the gluten challenge.   It can take two years absolutely gluten free for the immune system to quit reacting to gluten exposure.   Avoiding gluten most if the time, but then experimenting with whole wheat bread is a great way to keep your body in a state of inflammation and illness.  A diagnosis would help you stop playing Russian roulette with your and your children's health.
