Not sure if you have already had your trip or not, but I thought I'd chime in. There is a Carrabba's a few miles off of 36 which would be your most likely route from Denver to Estes Park. I have not had any experience yet with eating gluten-free in restaurants, but in my opinion Carrabba's has incredible food (I am especially fond of their chicken Marsala...

I have found one or more onion rings in with the french fries I purchased at several BK restaurants FYI. But they have the best french fries...

Even before I suspected that I was gluten intolerant I sometimes used crushed Crisped Rice cereal for bread crumbs, although now that I think of it you should probably make sure that it doesn't have malt flavor added if you use it. I just put some in a plastic freezer bag and roll a glass over it to pulverize it. I use this for making meatloaf too!

ARCHIVED Corn Flakes

Argh, this is going to be harder than I thought! Does anyone know of a gluten-free corn flakes brand? That's my favorite breakfast cereal, and it's oh-so-close but darn that malt flavoring! -

I wasn't aware that you could have prolonged symptoms and not immediate symptoms though. What I am thinking of doing is eliminating gluten from my diet right now and see if I can notice... -
ARCHIVED Blood Test Positive

I think he said it was transglutaminase antibody , he didn't say what the levels were (not that it would have meant anything to me) but he said that they were "just a little high". I really don't have any idea what this is supposed to mean other than that he indicated previously that a positive test on this would mean a biopsy. -
ARCHIVED Blood Test Positive
catfish posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Wheat products have never, ever been a trigger for my IBS symptoms. I recently was blood-tested for Celiac as a part of the IBS diagnosis routine, which apparently is just standard procedure. Now the blood test came back positive, but what exactly does this indicate? The Dr. says that the next step is a biopsy to test for Celiac, but my question is "why...
