what exactly should I ask them?

I would recommend calling the restuarant. While one would think that there would be nothing wrong with a char-grilled tenderloin, without seeing the ingredients no one can really give you an answer. Hopefully the restaurant prepares all or most of their food there, and will be able to give you some suggestions.

I'm new to the gluten-free lifestyle. I'm going out tonight & saw the restaurant's menu online. They have a char-grilled tenderloin. Obviously I would get it with no bun, but does anyone know if that would be gluten-free?

thanks

well you are definitely not alone. i just got diagnosed last week & i'm struggling as well.

I'm sure i'll get sick of salad & other foods that I know are gluten-free soon.

Grocery shopping was very depressing.

You are right, all we have to do is change our diet, but it's FOREVER and that's very intimidating.

Bummer about no rice & peanuts...that would make it that much harder.

You are not alone. Hang in there.

I feel your pain

Hey

I was diagnosed a couple months ago. I have been having a very hard time getting a handle on what I can eat. Have other people found it difficult to get a hang of it. I mean, I just feel so overwhelmed and completely depressed about this. I feel silly even saying I'm depressed about it because, I mean, all I have to do is change my diet. There are so many people that would like to be able to 'cure' themselves by chaning what they eat and here I am having a hard time with it.

I'm a vegetarian, but have introduced fish to my diet. I was eating a lot of rice bread/pasta and just found out that I"m allergic to rice, peanuts, tomatoes, citrus and everything in the pepper family. When I take out rice, I'm just not sure what to eat (if I stay vegetarian). I"m also lactose intollerant.

Feeling very discouraged...it's like a full time job just trying to figure this out. I will feel pretty good for a few days and then feel ROUGH again for the next few. I must be messing up or maybe it was the rice allergy.

I feel very isolated with this.

thanks. I'll see if my toaster has that option. I tried the bread i bought that was frozen. defrosted first then toasted. it wasn't awful. i wish it was bigger & fewer calories.

I use to put the frozen slices in the microwave for a couple seconds... then the toaster I got (I think a lot are like this now) has a frozen or defrost button on it and WOW that worked soooo much better then trying to defrost it some in the microwave first.

I haven't found a store bread yet that I care for so when I want bread I make my own and cool/freeze it, majority of the time now though I prefer just heating up in a pan a white corn tortilla. Make it a little crispy not burnt and it is pretty good for anything (quick pizza, wraps, sandwiches, tacos/burritos etc).

Good Luck. Bread is defanately trial and error in the beginning.

Hello.

I just got diagnosed last Thursday. I'm still a little achey myself but hopeful & doing really well so far. I really don't see myself cheating---knowingly anyway. It's seeming to be very hard to learn what to eat & not eat, but i'm getting the hang of it. Good luck to you.

I was diagnosed with Celiac on Monday, I've been 3 days without gluten, today I woke up today not feeling well. Had a lot of pain, cramps. I was feeling much better since today. When should I start to feel ok not perfect but ok

Congratulations. I just got diagnosed last Thursday. I hope I have your success. i would like to drop about 5 lbs. Obviously the goal is to stay gluten free, but a little lb loss would be fine!

Amazing, I have been gluten free for almost two months now and I have noticed something nice. I am eating less and very gradually losing weight. I almost always used to get 2-3 portions, at least two at each meal. Now I find I can stop after one serving! It occurred to me that this could be that I am getting my nutrients that I long was without. I am taking a multivitamin too, but this has been nice. I am down about 10lbs, and it is just very slowly going down.

Have other people experienced this? Just curious, but happy.

This one was pre-sliced but already frozen. I"ll get my hammer ready. i'll keep your name handy for more questions, which will certainly come up!

When I get bread I'm going to freeze I slice it if not already sliced, then I put a piece of paper between the slcies . This makes for easy seperation . If not you usually will have to use a knife & hammer to get it seperated!!!!!

You can thrw it in the fridge or I just nuke it for a few seconds to soften it up a bit, then toast or if making a sandwich I thraw the whole way.

Whole Foods has a small gluten-free bakery by their reg bakery. The WF white or sundried tomato/garlic bread makes yummy grilled cheese....

Anna's bread mix is a good mix if you decide to want to make your own

Please feel free to ask questions....

Thanks I"ll try it.

Do I just take it out of the fridge & toast it???

My favorite bread at Whole Foods is the Prairie Bread. I think most of us toast the bread.

I just got diagnosed with celiac disease a few days ago so I'm virtually clueless about the diet...learning though.

I bought some Gluten-Free bread from Whole Foods in their frozen food section. Obviously I keep it frozen, but what do I want to do when I want to eat it? I don't want soggy bread.

THANKS to anyone who can help.

Hello.

I live in Indianapolis & just got diagnosed with Celiac on Thursday. Looking for help as well!
