My friend is having a birthday party here and I have never been here before. I know that obviously everything with beer is off limits but anyone eaten here before?

Thanks for the help.

I ate there in New Orleans. One of my most fondly remembered meals. They were very helpful and made me a salad with poached salmon on top and then steamed vegetables on top of the salmon. All mixed in with the lettuce. It may sound wierd but the flavor was great and I loved it. It was one of those times when I gave the server my card, who got the manager, who talked to the chef and then came back to me and said "anything on the menu is out, but this is what we can do for you". They couldn't have been nicer. :)

Sure, there are dining cards. You can find many that are free and you can laminate, or buy the ones I found work best. They are triumph dining cards and they have them for every kind of ethnic food you can think of. They are written in the language that applies, for example, the thai card is written on one side in English and the other side in thai and targets the type of foods served in a thai restaurant saying what you can and cannot eat. It addresses cross contamination and is all around a great card and not expensive at all. Their website is www.triumphdining.com . Some people make their own cards, especially those with additional food intolerances not covered on the standard cards. If you want an example of what to write yourself, go to www.gluten free.com and search under restaurant card.

THANKS! Even though I feel pretty savvy dealing with celiac disease when I eat out, every little bit to reduce the possibility of being glutenated helps! I love this forum!

I was a bartender at GB.

They use the beer in many sauces and salad dressings (yes, beer is used in some of the salad dressings :)

Having said that, I used to have the NY strip w/ mashed potatoes (no gravy). They can also do a green salad with veggies (no croutons) and oil and vinegar on the side.

Also, call ahead and ask the chef about the gluten content of:

1. Chicken Marsala (over mashers)

2. Half Roasted Chicken

3. Ahi Tuna (with mashers substituted)

4. Salmon (no marinade - grilled or steamed).

Hope this helps,

Bronco

I just got my triumph dining cards and they are looking pretty cool! I have to say I am impressed - I didn't want to pay but my brother is getting married to a Chinese girl and her family does lots of eating at Chinese restaurants and the reception will likely be at a restaurant, as well (her brother's was, too). So I thought I'd cover my bases and see if there was a chance a cook there would accomodate me - otherwise it will be all white rice for me. I'll let you know how it goes... haven't had to use them anywhere yet.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Just switching to gluten free diet will answer your question without involving anyone else.  Your sister was diagnosed, that puts you at 40% risk of having it also as a first degree relative.  If you improve on a trial gluten free diet, you either have Celiac Disease (autoimmune) or Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (not autoimmune).  In any case it is important to address nutritional deficiencies like vitamin D.  Gluten free processed foods are not required to fortify.  The reason gluten foods are fortified is our western diet is deficient in them to the point where the government had to step in and require fortification.   Once you start GFD you'll realize it was the gluten you were afraid of all along, but nobody told you.

      Maybe celiac but maybe NCGS that was misdiagnosed as IBS morphing gradually into celiac. Is NCGS a new category to you? It shares many of the same GI symptoms with celiac disease but does not damage the small bowel lining like celiac.

      Thiamine has antifungal properties.  The body uses thiamine to keep bacteria and yeasts from overgrowth in the digestive system.   Fluconazole use can cause thiamine deficiency.   Supplementing with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine would be beneficial as Benfotiamine promotes intestinal healing.   Thiamine and the other B vitamins tend to be low in Celiac due to malabsorption.  Talk to your doctor about supplementing vitamins and minerals.

      Nutrient deficiencies despite normal MARSH and strict gluten-free diet

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome @Natalia Revelo, your experience is profoundly difficult and, sadly, not entirely unique within the celiac community. It's the frustrating reality of "silent" or ongoing damage that isn't captured by the MARSH score alone, which only measures active villous atrophy. Your normal biopsy suggests your diet is preventing the classic autoimmune attack, but it doesn't mean your gut has fully healed or that other issues aren't at play. The inflammation from your newly discovered milk and egg allergies is a huge clue; this constant allergic response can create a low-grade inflammatory environment that severely hampers nutrient absorption, effectively creating a "leaky gut" scenario independent of celiac damage. This is likely why your iron stores deplete so rapidly—your body is both unable to absorb it efficiently and may be losing it through inflammation. While the functional medicine path is expensive, it's clearly providing answers and relief that traditional gastroenterology, focused solely on the gluten-free diet and biopsy results, is missing. To move forward, continue the gut-healing protocols your functional doctor recommends (perhaps exploring alternative options to glutamine that won't irritate your cystitis), maintain your strict avoidance of all allergens and irritants, and know that true healing is a multi-faceted process. You might seek a second opinion from a different gastroenterologist who is more knowledgeable about non-responsive celiac disease and the complex interplay of food allergies and micronutrient absorption, but your current path, while costly, seems to be leading you toward the steady health you need.

      Have you had a DNA test to look for Celiac disease genes?  If she doesn't have any celiac specific genes, look for another explanation.  If she does have Celiac genes, assume they are turned on and active Celiac disease is progressing.  All first degree relatives (mother, father, siblings, children) should be genetically tested as well.   Sometimes blood tests are ambiguous or false negatives if one has anemia, diabetes or thiamine deficiency.  Certain medications like antihistamines and steroids can suppress the immune system and result in false negatives or ambiguous results on antibody tests.
