The Winery, Sydney, Australia

I ate at The Winery yesterday, it's on Crown Street in Surry Hills in Sydney. It was a group event and we had a fixed menu. I called the restaurant in advance and so did the person who organised it and the staff were fantastic. The server came over to speak with me and went through the options I could have. From the shared platters to start there was only one item I couldn't have and they served that on a different plate. I had a choice of two of three mains; they were already gluten free by ingredient. They made me a special desert. It was all delicious, the server was super knowledgable about what I could and couldn't have, I wasn't constantly reminding them and by the way they served things I could take my servings first and not worry about cross contamination (I didn't have seconds of the shared platters though as by then there was the risk of my friends contaminating me).

The meal was absolutely safe, I didn't have a single glutening symptom. I thought they were fantastic and I'll be writing to the manager/owner to say so. I've eaten out a bunch of times and mostly been fine, but even places like PF Changs and Outback which have a dedicated menu worry me a little when a different person brings the dishes than took the order - I feel like I have to be super aware (like at outback last week they tried to give my gluten free house salad to my dad before I snatched it back. How hard is it to make a note on the order that the gluten-free meal belonged to the female adult customer? At the Winery I was one of about 16 people and all the servers all knew who the gluten free person was.

I LOVE Sydney! I felt so safe there when I was visiting my daughter....and I'm planning another visit in November. I wish the restaurants in the U.S. could take a lesson from the restaurants there...

      Confused about my results

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hurrah for an official diagnosis!   You may want to put the whole family on gluten free, as a preventative measure for the ones not testing positive right now.  Remember, exposure to gluten triggers the Celiac genes your kids have inherited from you.  Keeping them gluten free now, even though they don't test positive right now, can delay triggering Celiac Disease development in them.

      Dealing with celiac and menstrual cycle

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @annirosex, Get your Vitamin D level checked.  Low Vitamin D can mess up menstrual cycles.  Vitamin D at healthy levels (80-100) acts as a hormone and regulates your immune system.  Thiamine Vitamin B 1 is needed to activate Vitamin D, so adding thiamine in the form Benfotiamine would be beneficial.

      Thank you! I saw a different provider this week who took one look at all my medical information and declared it was celiac in the first 5 minutes of the appointment. I am still a bit in shock but so very thankful to have an official diagnosis. The doctor told me to have my children tested and one of them came back with a "weak positive" TTG IgA! Not sure what to think about that! This week has been a wild ride. Thankfully this website has such great information! I've been going through all the do's and don't's of cross contact etc.

      Still unsure.....

      Good job! Brave astronaut! The other B vitamins can be stored in the body longer than thiamine.  You won't mess them up.

      I took my first 100 mg this morning. Let's see what happens. Still a bit nervous of messing up my other B vitamins since I don't have a B complex at the moment. Thanks for your replies Knitty Kitty!
