99 Restaurant

I've been going to the 99 restaurant because they have a gluten free menu.I always get the gluten free hamburger roll so I know exactly what it looks like.The other day I received a different roll and questioned it.The server said he had verified it was gluten free with the chef before he brought it out.He offered to recheck because I said it looked totally different.He checked and returned to tell me "it's good to go,it's gluten free".I figured they may be using a different vendor.It also looked different from my daughter's "regular" roll so I ate it and was ill the next morning.I emailed the restaurant and received a prompt reply by phone.The manager informed me that he was sorry this happened and didn't know what roll I received!!!He said he'd speak with the staff and send me compensation...Who cares about compensation!I feel like I've "undone" all the hard work.I've given up other social functions,not eaten at cookouts,etc.This totally undoes everything!!!How could this have been avoided?!It's so frustrating!!! I feel like I need to sit at home and never go out!I feel like EVERY time you dine out it's a HUGE risk!!!!!

I went to 99 when I went across country with my boyfriend for a funeral. I had heard bad things about the gluten-free menu. I didn't even bother with it haha I just ordered a salad and loaded up on gluten enzyme pills!

I feel your pain, completely. It's frustrating when you go to the trouble to make sure everyone understands you have serious restrictions, and you get glutened anyway. I swear it's like they think we're just fussy, or on a fad diet. Eating out is terrifying. I got glutened today too, and am suffering for it. I'm supposed to go out for dinner on Sunday to a restaurant that is "known" for it's gluten-free items, but now I'm just feeling anxious about it.

I hope you feel better soon!

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      Interestingly, this thought occurred to me last night. I did find that there are studies investigating whether vitamin D deficiency can actually trigger celiac disease.  Source: National Institutes of Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231074/

      Before being diagnosed coeliac I used to love Guinness. Being made from barley it should be something a coeliac shouldn’t drink. But taking to another coeliac and they can drink it with no ill effects and have heard of others who can drink it too.  is this everyone’s experience?  Can I drink it?  I get dermatitis herpetiformis and don’t get instant reactions to gluten so can’t try it to see for myself.

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.
