Applebees was so unknowledgeable about cross contamination and safe Gluten free food preparation that I left without eating there.

Outback is safe for Celiacs.

I haven't been to Carrabas, but have heard it is good for gluten-free.

When I last looked at Appleby's gluten-free menu, it wasn't really very gluten-free. For example, it listed fries as gluten-free. If you read the small print in another part of the menu, it mentioned that the fries are cooked with all the gluten coated chicken nuggets, onion rings, etc. That means, the fries are gluten-free if you eat them before they are cooked (fried).

Carrabas is gluten free familiar and they are very good about your meal. It's a great treat for me. :) But, an hour and a half away..thus the treat. :)

I would not recommend Appleby's as being safe.

From a squib on the 'net, Carrabas appears to have some knowledge about gluten, and Open Original Shared Link.

I found a listing a while back of restaurants that have gotten very good reviews for their gluten handling, but cant' find my way back to the page! Here is another, from Travelsite.com...they have a listing of numerous restaurants that can be navigated by gluten-free eaters.

PF Chang's is supposed to be good, Bonefish and Legal Sea Foods get really high marks as well.

These apply to the chain restaurants. You could probably look up large local eateries and find a menu online (google for the restaurant name and "gluten free menu"). Or call ahead and ask, you can learn from a phone call whether they will be trustworthy or not. Saves a lot of stress.

Carraba's is part of the Fleming Restaurant group, so they will know their gluten-free business. I've eaten at Carraba's and the waitress was well educated.

      Outgrow celiac?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Testing can't alone be trusted.  Else why would it take so many years of testing and retesting and misdiagnosis to finally be told, yes you have Celiac Disease. As to what to eat, I like pre 1950 style food.  Before the advent of TV dinners.  Fresh food is better for you, and cooking from scratch is cheaper.  Watch Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals for how to cook.  Keep in mind that she is not gluten free, but her techniques are awesome.  Just use something else instead of wheat, barley, rye. Dr Fuhrman is a ex cardiologist.  His book Eat to Live and Dr Davis' book Wheatbelly were instrumental in my survival.

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch--thanks for the tip about Dupixent, and I've added it to the article:

      I just want to clarify that what I posted is a category of research summaries we've done over the years, and nearly each one shows that there is definitely a connection to celiac disease and migraine headaches. The latest study said: "the study did indicate some potential causal associations between celiac disease and migraine with or without aura, as well as between migraine without aura and ulcerative colitis...this study did not find evidence of a shared genetic basis..." Anyway, there is definitely a connection, and you can go through more of the articles here if you're interested: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/migraine-headaches-and-celiac-disease/

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By SusanJ · Posted

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was bad I could not do anything. I just lay in bed covered in ice packs to ease the pain/itching and using way too Clobetasol. Dapsone is also very good for dermatitis herpetiformis (and it is generic). It helped me and the results were immediate but it gave me severe anemia so the Dupixent is better for me. Not sure if it works for everyone. I cannot help with the cause of your stress but from experience I am sure the severe stress is making the celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis worse. Very difficult for you with having children to care for and you being so sick. Would this man be willing to see a family therapist with you? He may be angry at you or imagine that your illness is a psychosomatic excuse not to take care of him. A therapist might help even if he won't go with you. Also do you have any family that you could move in with (with the kids) for a short time to get away? A break may be good for you both.

      @tiffanygosci, Thiamine deficiency is a thing in pregnancy for "normal" people, so it's exponentially more important for those with celiac disease and malabsorption issues. I studied nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I was curious what the vitamins were doing inside the body.  See my blog.  Click on my name to go to my page, scroll to drop down menu "activities" and select blog.   So glad you're motivated to see the dietician!  We're always happy to help with questions.  Keep us posted on your progress!
