I love to eat at Joe's and I don't remember the last time that I went. Is there anything that we can eat at Joe's?

We've eaten there. They were very nice and prepared our son a seasoned free meal. Lots of steamed veggies, a bunless burger. Nice, nice, nice folks worked at our local Crabshack.

Actually, it's my opinion that a person with Celiac can assume they can eat just about anywhere (excluding fast food joints), because there's a great effort on the part of the food industry to provide food to all customers. I always smile and tell it to the waiter/ress straight up without going into too much medical speak. I never apologize. I just say thanks. You can also ask to have meats cooked in tinfoil/naked and brought to you still wrapped. I do that to eliminate any doubt in my mind that the food has been contaminated. I've never had a bad time in a restaurant.

I know I can order plain food but that is what I eat at home. When I go out with a group I don't mind doing that usually I just get a salad. But if I go out with my dh then I want a good meal that I wouldn't make at home. That is the fun part about going out to eat.

Then go to Outback Steakhouse or PF Changs. They have gluten free menus. Most restaurants do NOT have gluten free menus but will do their best to make a safe meal. As of this time, I do not believe people with Celiac Disease are doing their best to make their numbers and needs known to the food industry. Knowing that Joe's does NOT have a gluten free menu and asking them to consider this in the near future is a productive start.

Jenn was going out with friends not long ago and they were headed to Joe's. Since she is not quite ready to be bold in front of friends yet, I took her the night before and talked with the manager. They provided crab legs, veggies, and a salad that were all gluten-free. Jenn had something else but I cannot remember what the other side was. Yes, they left some seasonings off, but they were also able to use some as well. They were helpful and we ate safely. I am supersensitive, so that is a positive statement.

Sounds like you had a great experience and maybe that should be the start of a letter campaign to Joe's Crab Shack.

celiac3270 should be on vacation, so what's Kaiti up to?

I have to eat at Joe's Crab Shack next month for work. I just e-mailed them through their website. I will report back and let everybody know if they were helpful.

I had a salmon meal at Joe's last week and didn't have any problems. A lot of their food has gluten but not all of it. The menu was pretty limited but I survived.

I'm not familiar with Joe's ..... is it a chain?

I really understand with the poster that said, when I go out I want food I can't/won't cook at home. Me too! I've found here on Cape Cod that in our better restaurants... one of my favorite being Grill 16 in Hyannis, first off the chef makes most of his sauces by the reduction method, he does not thicken with flour at all so most of the sauces I can safely eat there. Not only that when I do find a dish there I want, say the salmon and it has something on it that might gluten me, he just takes it out (when possible) or takes a plain piece of salmon and doctors it up for me with things I can have.

Needless to say I don't go there on Friday or Saturday evenings because I'm sure I would not be able to get this sort of service.

Thanks, Susan

      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...

      yes i do take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

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.
