This coming weekend is my first time having to eat out - I live in Canberra and going to Sydney, staying in Newtown. My DH is so painful that I'd love to hear about any strict or totally gluten-free restaurants etc in the inner city.

This coming weekend is my first time having to eat out - I live in Canberra and going to Sydney, staying in Newtown. My DH is so painful that I'd love to hear about any strict or totally gluten-free restaurants etc in the inner city.

There are no totally gluten free places in Newtown but The organic pomegranate king st - they have a 10% discount for coeliac society members and are coeliac Society partners, Atomic Thai king st newtown have a separate gluten-free menu and Guzman Y gomez is a traditional mexican place on king st again that does gluten-free options. I haven't yet tried Pomegranate - though I really want too. And I have eat at the other two numerous times and have never been glutened at either.

The Healthy feast is a Totally gluten free bakery (they do cafe type stuff as well) 157 Norton Street Leichhardt, NSW, 2040

I also eat at Guzman and Gomez all the time (It'd have to be at least 100 times by now since I went gluten free) and I've never gotten sick.

A bit further afield - The Winery at Surry Hills were great.

Cafe 2042 - King st Newtown. I forgot about them - they do fab food and are all up on all kinds of allergies and intolerances. If they aren't sure of something they don't guess - they go and look etc!

Thank you all.

I am a bit itchy but not as bad as I use to get in the past.

Newtown is a great place for eating healthy - so many great people willing to help without 'inconvenience' tone and body language.

I had a great meal at the Carlisle Castle hotel - Salmon and veg and yummy!

The only problem was my sisters 40th birthday & I suspect the "cornflour" wasn't just cornflour.

Otherwise my first eating out / travel has been a fun and full one.

:)

Yeah - the carlisle is great - they fry their chips separate - gotta love that. I mean really - at the end of the day - now hard is it? Not very, its a shame more places don't just do it!!

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      Thank you very much @trents! This is super helpful. The only time I wasn’t sick after my diagnosis was when I was ordering and eating certified gluten-free meals from a company. I did that for a few months right after being diagnosed and then I started to try to figure it out how to cool and eat gluten-free meals myself. I think I’m probably getting low levels of gluten exposure and maybe that’s what’s making me ill. Possibly other things also not helping the situation (like dairy). Anyway this gives me something to focus on to see if it helps. So thanks for that!

      Welcome to the celiac.com, @Rejoicephd! 1. "Gluten Free" does not equate to "contains no gluten". According to FDA advertising regulations, it means it cannot contain more than 20ppm of gluten. This is a good standard for most in the celiac community but not good enough for those on the sensitive end of the spectrum. If you find the "Certified Gluten Free" symbol on a package that is even better, indicating that there is no more than 10ppm of gluten.  2. When you are choosing "gluten free" items from a restaurant, realize that it only means gluten is not an intentional ingredient. It does not rule out CC (Cross Contamination) caused by those cooking and preparing the food back in the kitchen who may be cooking it on the same surfaces or in the same pots/pans as they are gluten containing food items and handling it with the same utensils they are handling gluten-containing food. 3. About 8% of celiacs react to the protein avenin in oats as they do the protein gluten in wheat/barley/rye. In addition, some cultivars of oats actually contain the protein gluten. Many celiacs also react to the protein casein in dairy products as they do gluten or they are lactose intolerant. Eggs, soy and corn are also common "cross reactors" in the celiac community but oats and dairy are the most common.

      Hi everyone! I was diagnosed with celiac a year ago (they confirmed it on endoscopy following a positive TTG antibody and positive genetic test). I thought the gluten free diet thing wasn’t going to be that hard of an adjustment, but man was I wrong. I’m a year in and still having issues in terms of accidentally glutening myself and getting super sick (I’m starting to think I need to just bring my own food everywhere I go). And also even when I am eating foods that say they are gluten free, I’m still dealing with an upset stomach often. My GI doc said I should avoid dairy as well, and the internal medicine doc said my gut microbiome might be messed up from all of this. I’m just looking for some answers/ideas/tips on what additional things I can do to feel better. Do you all do avoid additional categories of foods beyond just gluten to help alleviate symptoms? Thanks!

      If your total IGA is low then the values for the other IGA tests cannot be trusted. They will be depressed. Celiacs who have the DQ2 gene typically are on the more sensitive side as opposed to those who only have the DQ8. But keep in mind that having either or both of those genes does not equate to having celiac disease as 40% of the general population have one or the other and only about 1% of the general population develops active celiac disease. Genetic typing can be used for ruling it out, however. Because of the low total IGA, symptoms and the possession of the DQ2 gene, my suggestion would be for you to go seriously gluten free for a few months and see if your symptoms improve. It may be the only way you can ascertain if you are gluten intolerant because of the low total IGA.
