I EAT OUT AT A LOT OF PLACES. PF CHANG'S, LEGAL SEAFOOD AND OUTBACK STEAKHOUSE HAVE GLUTEN FREE MENUS. ALSO CHICK FIL A HAS THE CHARGRILLED CHICKEN SALAD (GO TO THEIR WEBSITE) AND MANY OF THEIR DRESSINGS ARE gluten-free. I ALSO EAT OUT AT BURGER JOINTS, LIKE DUFFY'S SPORTS BAR AND GRILL AND FLANAGAN'S AND THEY ARE VERY ACCOMIDATING. I TELL THEM NO BUN WITH THE BURGER AND GET A BAKED POTATOE INSTEAD OF FRIES. FLANAGANS DOESNT MARINATE OR USE SAUCES ON MANY OF THEIR DISHES.

Yes, there are places we can eat BUT eating out anywhere that serves gluten containing food will always be a risk. So always be careful about cross contamination but enjoy that gluten free food :D .

There are places that are safer than others. For example, places that offer gluten free menus. But eating out at places that also serve gluten should never become a habit since there is a higher risk of contamination. I usually limit myself to one or twice a month.

      hi @knitty kitty I knew there had to be somebody else that liked liver. Hearing of your weight loss/recovery and seeing another half pound gain this morning helps relieve some of the anxieties associated with celiac disease. I never thought that I would get excited about weight gain.  I am going to add a 100 g thiamine tablet at noon time and will add the Benfotiamine for a few months.

      @trents  @Vickey Matteson   Trents makes a very interesting point.  I did not have gastric symptoms initially but about six months before my diagnosis I had very odd liver function test results, iron deficiency and anxiety.  I developed gastric symptoms just prior to my diagnosis - I honestly think that if I hadn't, my doctors would still be wondering what was causing those other issues.

      Welcome to the forum, @Vickey Matteson! What you describe is actually very common in the celiac community. We call it "silent celiac disease". Silent in the sense of not causing significant discomfort or distress. After diagnosis, many silent celiacs look back and realize they did have some symptoms but they were so minor as to not grab their attention or they were symptoms of a nature that they would not have connected with celiac disease. Given enough time, and as damage to the small bowel villous lining progresses, symptoms will eventually appear. Who knows how long before your diagnosis the onset of your celiac disease occurred. The time between onset and diagnosis may have been many years or only a few. You were born with the genetic potential for developing celiac disease but that doesn't mean you had it from birth. Almost 40% of the population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop it. It takes both the genetic potential and some kind of triggering environmental or health event that turns the genes on, such as a viral infection or frequent antibiotic treatments.  So, since you say you can eat gluten and not have a reaction and you have no symptoms, how is it that you got diagnosed with celiac disease? What led to that? There must have been some lab work or health issues that prompted your physician to test you for celiac disease. There are over 200 known symptoms associated with celiac disease and most of them have nothing to do with GI distress. Most people (and unfortunately, many physicians) only think of classic GI symptoms when considering celiac disease. What led to your being tested for celiac disease?

      Hi all, I've been diagnosed Celiac. I don't have symptom's if I eat gluten and the doctor's don't know why. Has anyone heard of this happening?  I am on a gluten free diet because of the diagnosis but it doesn't make any sense if I don't have symptom's. I was diagnosed when I was 60, I am now 70, so what happened my first 60 ? Any thoughts? Thanks, Vickey

      Good point, they should never have cut this from the syllabus.
