I found a local restaurant in Hamilton, Ontario that SAID they were celiac friendly.

I emailed to confirm and got the following from the chef:

Hello Ada,

We offer a celiac friendly menu and would be happy to look after your dietary needs. Feel free to email or call 905-526-6642 for a reservation. Thank you.

Chef David Lewis

I am beyond excited.

If only there were places like this. The fact that the chef was kind enough to respond and with such news is exciting. I found a place in Kentucky that offers a similar prospect. I asked about the possibility of a condition friendly dish and they brought the chef out who offered to make any dish I desired, on the menu or not, and using whichever ingredients I wanted. They were more than happy to oblige by the clean utensils policy as well and offered many assurances. Now to test them and see if its too good to be true or not.

Foodislife, a very good restaurant should be able to do this. At high-end places flour is rarely used anyway - sauces are usually lighter or reductions/glazes. I almost never use flour to make my pan sauces - not necessary. I've been told this by several places and have successfully trusted them IF I am satisfied with their responses to my grilling on CC, etc. The biggest issue at these places is CC and you are always taking a risk, of course. If it is a serious restaurant (i.e. not a chain) with a good reputation on the line with the chef (trained at culinary school) who clearly knows what he is talking about I trust it.

      4 Years and very little progress

      @knitty kitty Did they give you medication for the Thiamine? I have never heard of that and have never related to symptoms more. My energy is always SO low. Zero drive to get anything done or work out. I used to love being on the go and being active. I am heading to the doctor next week so I will make sure to bring this up! Thank you so much!

      @trents I have had another scope done since being diagnosed. The only thing they told me at that time was my body seems to be healing very well and to continue what I was doing. At that time, I had only been diagnosed 2 years so it may be a possibility that it was healing then but not now maybe. I think you're right that it's about time one was done! I will be bringing that up to my doctor at my apt. next week. Thank you for the suggestions with food. I have tried diary so far. Seems to not be the issue (luckily!). Will have to try the others!

      Welcome to the forum, @maylynn, I had similar symptoms.  I was anemic, lost a lot of weight, felt full after three bites.  I was deficient in vitamins and minerals, especially Thiamine B1.   Thiamine converts our food to energy so our body can function properly.  While deficient in thiamine, the appetite can disappear (not enough thiamine to digest food) or can become ravenous (the body trying to replete vitamins).   I lost a lot of weight.  In thiamine insufficiency, the body burns fat and muscle, so weight loss.  It takes less thiamine to burn fat and muscle than it takes to burn carbohydrates.   Thiamine is needed to make new blood cells.  Thiamine is needed by red blood cells to carry oxygen.  Thiamine helps with fatigue and anemia.  Malabsorption of Celiac Disease affects all eight water soluble B vitamins, vitamin c, and the four fat soluble vitamins.  Supplementing while healing after diagnosis is beneficial.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist about supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals.
