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....

If you have this place near you, I highly recommend it!

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.

      Could this be celiac?

      It was 1 short episode at night.  I was fine eating my dinner several hours before this.

      Vomiting - celiac or constipation

      Many celiacs are what we call "silent". That is, they don't have classic GI symptoms but begin developing other medical problems such as you describe with your husband.  Also, it is unfortunate that many doctors, and in some cases their hands are tied by stingy healthcare system protocols, do bare minimum testing for celiac disease which would consists of a single test known as the tTG-IGA. This may be the best single test for celiac disease (and inexpensive) but in reality it can miss some who actually do have celiac disease for a variety of reasons, including being IGA deficient. The tTG-IGA should never be ordered apart from the "total IGA" test (for IGA deficiency). There are also other IGA celiac antibody tests available and there are several IGG antibody tests available and a full celiac panel would include all of these. Makes me wonder if when you were tested at 20 if the results would have been different if a full panel had been ordered. Here is an article outlining celiac disease blood antibody testing:

      Vomiting - celiac or constipation

      Thank you. Yes I’d looked into both of these causes. My only thoughts on a triggering event were when my daughter was born and she had breathing difficulties so was in NICU.    It’s all quite fascinating. My husband shows signs of celiac. Low immune system, b12 deficiency, peeling skin and more recently severe and intermittent allergic rhinitis.    We will all get testing, I’m sure.

      Even though you were tested for celiac disease at 20 and it was negative, you can develop celiac disease at any stage of life. Developing active celiac disease requires to elements.  The first element is the genetic potential. There have been two primary genes connected to the development of celiac disease, HLDQ 2 and HLDQ 8, and some secondary variant genes. About 40% of the population possess one or more of these two genes or their variants but only about 1% of the population ever develops active celiac disease. So, having the genetic potential is insufficient as a standalone diagnostic measure. But not having the genetic potential can be used to rule out celiac disease. Which brings me to the second element: The second element is some kind of triggering stress event that turns the celiac genes on such that the latent potential is activated. It can be a viral illness, a prolonged emotional/psychological stress event or almost anything. This is kind of the mystery part of the process. So, in science this is known as epigenetics or how genetic potential is influenced by external factors. So, most who have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease never do because the sufficient external triggering stimulus doesn't happen. There is something else you should be aware of regarding gluten disorders and that is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). NCGS shares many of the same symptoms of celiac disease but does not damage the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. There is no test for it. A diagnosis for NCGS depends on first ruling out celiac disease. It is 10x more common than celiac disease. Some experts feel it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Eliminating gluten from your life is the antidote for both.

      Shampoo/Body Wash

      I have long hair and tend to get it in my mouth so I make sure there are no gluten ingredients in my shampoo.  I don’t worry about something that just goes on my skin, away from my mouth.
