Bless these people, because they mean well. And I am quite the carnivore so I love these types of steakhouses when they keep bringing meats to the table.

But, I just received a direct mail piece that says:

"Rodizio Grill is America's First Brazilian Steakhouse and the only Brazilian Steakhouse 90% Gluten Free"

Again, they mean well, but I almost see a comedy skit when the waiter/waitress comes up to us Celiacs and says:

"Try our soup, it's okay, it's 90% gluten free"

"Want one of our beers on tap? It's okay, it's 90% gluten free"

I'll send them a note.

They might actually be referring to their menu. I've had several restaurants locally who said they were "mostly" gluten-free, and then proceeded to explain it in reference to their menu. :)

I absolutely agree with you. I just think they need some coaching in terms of how WE Celiacs read things.

It's almost like saying "At ValueJet, our planes don't crash 99.98% of the time"

I'll call their Marketing Director.

LOL! Isn't that the truth? We have a local pizzeria that is really great, but their ad said, Gluten Free Pizza, and directly beneath it, Whole Wheat Crusts. What they meant was, we now offer Gluten free pizza AND whole wheat crusts. ;) Oops! I avoided them for a year until I was referred by someone else who had asked the pertinent question and discovered their advertising boo-boo.

Since we are on the roll of misinterpretations in advertising, I thought you would like this TRUE story.

I actually worked on the advertising team that created the tagline "Pork. The Other White Meat". NO, I'm not the guy who came up with it, but I do know who it was.

Anyway, "The Other White Meat" was the national campaign. Every once in awhile a state association or a province in Canada would run outdoor campaigns that played off of the national campaign.

They ran a bunch of billboards that said "Pork the one you want".

I really wanted to enjoy these Brazilian places, but I found that the training and the ability to communicate with some employees was a problem.

If I'm paying $50-60 per person to eat, I want to be SURE that I'm not going to pay for it again later.

Tried Rodizio and another chain here in Denver. Didn't have an issue at either, but I avoided most everything after I got mixed signals at both. Hard to enjoy a meal that way....

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By cristiana · Posted

      I think sometimes the pain described here can be a result of a sort of 'perfect storm' of contributing factors.  Recently I had an appalling bout of lower back pain, lower burning gut pain and what felt like cramps.  I then started to think about what could have caused it and I realised it was several things that had set it off: I'd been carrying heavy luggage (back strain); I had been sitting down in a car for too long and wearing a tight belt (I have pudendal nerve issues and sacroiliac issues and this exacerbates the pain), and I had bloating and burning pain in my colon caused by eating too much soy, latte and caffeine, I guess putting further pressure in the lower abdomen.  I had this same pain prior to my diagnosis and a couple of years post-diagnosis, I'd quite forgotten how unpleasant it was.

      Have this rash forming on the back of my legs. Looking for relief outside of going to the doctor.

      HI @Kirbyqueen That's great news your insurance will be kicking in soon.  Sorry to see that you have been dealing with this for six months now, but I do hope you have managed to find some relief with some of the suggestions in the meantime. Perhaps come back and let us know what the doctor says. Cristiana

      I agree, and hopefully your doctor will contact you soon about the next step, which will likely be an endoscopy to confirm your diagnosis. Do you have celiac disease symptoms?

      By Kirbyqueen · Posted

      Still dealing with this rash on my legs. I've eliminated ringworm (through use of topical ointments). And I also know it's not shingles, as I've never had chickenpox before and I'm still fairly young. Through a lot of online research, I'm leaning more towards dermatitis herpetiformis, eczema, or psoriasis. I've actually got a doctor's appointment in May (finally got some insurance) and I'm going to bring it up then. I'm feeling really hopeful and excited to maybe be getting some relief soon.   Big thanks to everyone for the suggestions and positive thoughts!

      Trying to read my lab results

      You have three celiac disease specific antibody tests that are positive: Endomysial  Antibody IGA (aka, EMA), tTG-IGA, and tTG_IGG. Furthermore, your Immunoglobulin A at 55 is low, meaning you are IGA deficient. This one is not an antibody test for celaic disease per se but a measure of "total IGA" levels and if low (yours is low) it can suppress the individual antibody scores and even cause false negatives. So, yes, it definitely looks like you have celiac disease.   Do not yet begin a gluten free diet as your physician may refer you to a GI doc for an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining for confirmation of the antibody testing. This may help:
