Hi all! I need some help for Sunday night. My inlaws insist on taking us out to dinner on Sunday even though our 4 year old with celiac disease is super picky and I cannot find a restaurant that will work. All I need to know is a place that has gluten-free fries and we will be set! A place like a Fridays, Ruby Tuesdays, etc.

Can anyone help me?? Please!!

Outback fries actually are gluten-free and at many Outbacks they are cooked in dedicated fryers. They are not listed as gluten-free because this isn't true at all and because in some the fryers are too close to each other. You'd have to check with your local Outback.

Pack him his own food if you MUST go. Thats the simplest method. But I have had good luck wth Sante Fe Stake house, and Alabama Grill... but I dont order fries from any one anymore cept ones I make my self.

I will call our Outback, thanks Richard!

I could pack him his own food but really want him to feel "normal" and have something he can order like the rest of us, you know? If there are gluten-free fries out there he would love to eat them!

I am surprised that there are not more places that use separate fryers.

He won't eat mashed potatoes. Or most other food that we could order him that's gluten-free. He's a real pain about trying stuff and we have sllllooooooooowlyy made progress with his diet at home but eating out is another story, he just wants fries or big corn chips. Sigh. Since he eats decent at home I dont mind buying him crap like that for dinner when we occasionally go out, you know?

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

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

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
