I trust you guys more than the restaurant-finders online.

Can y'all help me compile a list of places in the Northern Virginia/D.C. area?

From the search I did on this site, I already have:

Legal Seafoods ... Spartan's

Austin Grill ... Maggiano's

Bonefish Grill ... Essential Grille (Rte 7)

Rustico ... Mike's American Grill

Z Pizza ... Silverado

Noodles & Co. ... Carlyle Grand (Shirlington)

Don Pablos ... Coastal Flats

McCormick & Schmick's... Buffalo Wing Factory (dedicated fryer)

WingN ... Ruth's Chris

Clyde's ... Artie's

Blue Iguana(Fair Lakes) ... Sweetwater

Cashions Eat Place ... Bangkok 54 (Columbia Pike)

Jaleo...Oyamel

Zaytinya...Cafe Atlantico

California Tortilla...lilit cafe

The Tombs...Pho 75 (Rosslyn)...Ted's Montana Grill

and obviously there will be the nationwide chains like Outback and Chili's and Olive Garden, etc.

But, out in California, they are all WHOLE GRAIN crazy and so I think the East Coast will have MORE to offer! I'm excited!

I'm in your new part of the country but not close enough to give info. Going by your list, I've been to Maggiano's and Bonefish in our area and I recommend them. I have multiple allergies and Maggianos will go totally off the menu and make whatever I want, within reasons, as long as they have the ingredients on hand. They're well trained. I have been to Don Pablos in our area and I will no longer go there. I had serious problems with product changes and the staff not initially being aware of it until I really grilled the manager and learned more. Plus they make tortillas in the front. I'm just too sensitive and there are too many opportunities for CC IMHO.

pf changs

panera bread

buzz bakery (this is next door to rustico and owned by the same people. their brownie is YUMMY!)

zpizza is decent (they charge an extra $4 for gluten-free and you can only get the small sized pizza...but decent if you're craving pizza)

five guys (no bun obv. and the fries are safe from CC since nothing else is fried)

MOM's organic store on mt vernon ave in alexandria is awesome. they have more and more gluten-free items everytime i go in there.

I don't live in that part of VA, but I'm jealous. DC has TONS of gluten free restaurants. You will also have Whole Foods and Trader Joe's for gluten free grocery shopping.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.

      Is it gluten?

      @par18, no, Scott's use of the term "false negative" is intentional and appropriate. The "total IGA" test is not a test used to diagnose celiac disease per se. The IGA immune spectrum response encompasses more than just celiac disease. So, "total IGA" refers to the whole pie, not just the celiac response part of it. But if the whole pie is deficient, the...

      This may be the problem. Every time you eat gluten it is like giving a booster shot to your immune system, telling it to react and produce antibodies again.

      Scott, I am mostly asymptomatic. I was diagnosed based on high antibodies, low ferritin (3) and low vitamin D (10). I wasn't able to get in for the biopsy until 3 months after the blood test came back. I was supposed to keep eating gluten during this time. Well why would I continue doing something that I know to be harmful for 3 more months to just get...

The IGA immune spectrum response encompasses more than just celiac disease. So, "total IGA" refers to the whole pie, not just the celiac response part of it. But if the whole pie is deficient, the spectrum of components making it up will likely be also, including the celiac disease response spectrum. In other words, IGA deficiency may produce a tTG-IGA score that is negative that might have been positive had there not been IGA deficiency. So, the tTG-IGA negative score may be "false", i.e, inaccurate, aka, not to be trusted.

      Scott, I am mostly asymptomatic. I was diagnosed based on high antibodies, low ferritin (3) and low vitamin D (10). I wasn't able to get in for the biopsy until 3 months after the blood test came back. I was supposed to keep eating gluten during this time. Well why would I continue doing something that I know to be harmful for 3 more months to just get this test? So I did quit gluten and had the biopsy. It was negative for celiacs. I continued gluten free with iron supps and my ferritin came back up to a reasonable, but not great level of around 30-35.  Could there be something else going on? Is there any reason why my antibodies would be high (>80) with a negative biopsy? could me intestines have healed that quickly (3 months)?  I'm having a hard time staying gluten free because I am asymptomatic and i'm wondering about that biopsy. I do have the celiacs gene, and all of the antibody tests have always come back high. I recently had them tested again. Still very high. I am gluten free mostly, but not totally. I will occasionally eat something with gluten, but try to keep to a minimum. It's really hard when the immediate consequences are nil.  with high antibodies, the gene, but a negative biopsy (after 3 months strict gluten-free), do i really have celiacs? please say no. lol. i think i know the answer.  Asa

      I have had a long year of testing unfortunately still not diagnosed , although one thing they definitely agree I'm gluten intolerant, the thing for me I have severe back troubles they wouldnt perform the tests and I couldn't have a full MRI because I'm allergic to the solution , we tryed believe me  I tryed lol , another was to have another blood test after consuming gluten but it makes me so bad I tryed it for only a week, and because I have a trapped sciatic nerve when I get bad bowels it sets that off terribly so I just take it on myself now , I eat a gluten free diet , I'm the best I've ever been , and if I slip I know it so for me i have my own diagnosis  and I act accordingly, sometimes it's not so straight forward for some of us , for the first time in years I can plan to go out , and I have been absorbing my food better , running to the toilet has become occasionally now instead of all the time , i hope you find a solution 🤗
