Experience With Buca De Beppo?

I've had good gluten-free experiences at Mangiano's and some smaller family owned pasta places (Ellensburg Pasta Co. for one) but haven't been to Buca before. Didn't think I would ever go there but apparently they have a gluten-free menu and I'm going there for a client thank-you lunch tomorrow. (My client went online to research for me - hooray for understanding non-gluten-free people!)

I'm about to call and talk to the manager or chef, so I'll report back after the lunch. I guess I could just have a salad if I need to...

I called the restaurant (when they weren't busy) and asked to speak to someone about allergies. The woman asked what and I said celiac/gluten and she said "Me too!"

The don't serve gluten-free pasta but they are planning to do so in the future. That's ok because I'm dieting and don't need pasta anyway. She went over which chicken and fish dishes were ok, which sauces too. Told me that they give extra veggies to replace the pasta, which is great.

She said that the servers were educated and will take care of me. Wish me luck!

Wow, that is great to know! I used to love their food before I was diagnosed, but have not been back since. I love Maggiano's too! Good luck, and let us know how it goes!

I just realized that I spelled it wrong ...should be Buca di Beppo!

      Is it gluten?

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      Trip to Anaheim/Disney

      By Seaperky · Posted

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
