Son Undx'ed And Going To Ihop With Class

Hey everyone! :)

I am a brand-new member who just joined today. I have celiac disease and have been gluten-free for just over 2 years. My 16 yo son (high-functioning autistic) has been tested and was neg, but now I'm almost certain he's gluten intolerant and am in the process of making his diet gluten-free. We are about 85% there and are getting cooperation with the school, too. :) I have set 3/1 as the date to get him completely off.

I found out his class is going to IHOP tomorrow. His teacher was kind enough to call and give me a heads-up, and he says he just wants bacon and hash browns.

Would this be okay? Are their hash browns completely gluten-free?

I appreciate any input! Thanks so much!

LIZ, Drew's mom :)

I am betting they are fried in the same oil as something that has gluten in it...I never ate there before I was diagnosed though so don't know what else is on menu.

Call Ihop or go over and ask them. Judging by the one here, I wouldn't eat any of it. They are too disorganized to be careful with my food. I have heard that they put pancake batter in the eggs to make them fluffy. Not sure they don't cook the hash browns on the same griddle as the pancakes, but ask.

Thanks to you both! :)

I just called them, and the girl I talked with knew the class was coming. I explained to her, and she said they cook the hashbrowns separately and to have the teacher remind the wait staff to make sure all the food is prepared so that there is no cross-contamination. :)

'Preciate the help! :)

      She used to take supplements, but her abdominal pain is so debilitating that she hasn't been able to continue.  Her primary care team has been suggesting liquid supplements rather than pill form to help.  They just drew a lot of blood Friday and we are slowly getting all that work back.  I will definitely check into thiamine!  Thanks!

      They have not done that yet.   We are looking at some other treatments to help. And you are correct.  The tickborne illness has been a wild ride.  Our whole family has been battling different tickborne illnesses.  Its expensive and exhausting.

      I cannot tolerate it at all - triggers burning and nausea, ditto aspirin.  Here in the UK I take Paracetamol.

      For back pain, I take a combination of Cobalamine B12, Pyridoxine B 6, and Thiamine B 1 (in the form Benfotiamine), which have an analgesic effect.  These three B vitamins together work way better than those over the counter pain relievers.  Theses are water soluble B vitamins that are easily excreted via the kidneys if not needed.  Thiamine will also help the nausea.

      @stephaniekl, welcome to the forum, Is your daughter taking any nutritional supplements?   Weight loss and failure to thrive are two symptoms of thiamine insufficiency.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms are not recognized as such by doctors.   I experienced similar symptoms when I became malnourished.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms can become worse quickly, and can affect one emotionally and mentally.  Although blood tests for thiamine aren't accurate, do have your daughter checked for nutritional deficiencies.  Thiamine B 1 works with the other B vitamins and magnesium.  Thiamine and Niacin B 3 help improve Gerd.  All the B vitamins are frequently low due to malabsorption.  Vitamin D will help calm the immune system.  Thiamine helps the immune system fight off viruses like those tick borne illnesses.   Thiamine Mononitrate, which is in many vitamin supplements, is not bioavailable.  I was taking a multivitamin containing thiamine mononitrate and still became deficient in thiamine. Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing.  A form called TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) is also excellent for correcting thiamine deficiency.  A combination of Thiamine, Cobalamine B12, and Pyridoxine B 6 has analgesic properties.  I take it for back pain.   Keep us posted on your progress!
