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

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.
