The employees I spoke with were so knowledgable. I called to ask about the gluten-free menu first before I talked with my DH and ordered. The girl said "We take this very seriously. When we type in gluten free, there is a special notice that comes up with instructions for the cooks in the back. All of us are trained to deal with the gluten free menu."

When I got the food it was SO good. After eating my sweet and sour chicken, I realized there was a coating on it and panicked thinking I had been given the wrong thing. I called and (calmly) asked the manager about it to make sure I had gotten the right order. He was so nice and said they coat it in a potato starch to give it the right texture and flavor.

Yay! I ate it 3 hours ago and I feel totally fine. When I get glutened I get anxiety and D right away, so I'm pretty sure I'm not poisoned!

      Why Celiac Diagnosis Still Takes Years—and How to Change That

      Our understanding of that is very incomplete at this time. There are theories and it seems to involve multiple factors. We know there is a genetic component but that is far from the total answer since 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only 1% actually does. Other suspects are the indiscriminate use of antibiotics...

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
