When we made reservations, we said one of us has Celiac.. can you handle that? Their answer was a definite yes.

When we arrived tonight the first person we talked to said " Oh, you have Celiac. I will take care of that."

The waiter said " I understand that you have celiac. What do you like from the menu? We will see how to work it."

I had a fabulous dinner!!! I totally recommend this place!!!!!

This post totally gives me hope that in the future, I'll be able to eat out again. So glad to hear that you had a success!

That is great to hear. I'm so scared to go out to eat with my family for the first time. I'm expecting eye rolls and sighs. I hate being a bother. But I sure don't want to eat any gluten.

      Advantages vs. Disadvantages of having an official Celiac diagnosis

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I don't believe that existing life insurance policies require such notifications--health checks are typically done before such policies are obtained. I believe it would primarily affect any new policy you get, and perhaps any policy renewal.

      Feeling ill

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You could go gluten-free now, and then start eating lots of gluten for at least 2 weeks before your endoscopy--just be sure to tell your doctor about this beforehand. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, it is further evidence of celiac disease and/or non-celiac gluten sensitivity.  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      How many grams is there in one slice of wheat bread?

      By JA917 · Posted

      If I'm not mistaken, you need to count by the grams of GLUTEN, not the gram weight of the bread.  So, instead of counting each slice of bread as 35 grams, it would be counted as 2 grams, so that's why the recommendation is 5 slices a day = 10 grams.  One of the moderators can correct me if I'm wrong on that!

      Advantages vs. Disadvantages of having an official Celiac diagnosis

      By JA917 · Posted

      Question re: life/health insurance: if you're already under these policies, do you have to notify them if you receive an official diagnosis, or is that only for new policies?  I have had two active term life insurance policies for many years that I pay a set amount into.  And my employer covers my health insurance.  So, do I need to let them both know if I do become officially diagnosed?  I'm glad I read this, because that would certainly be marked off in the "disadvantage" box for me!

      My 5 months of Struggle

      By JA917 · Posted

      I'm new here so I'm not sure if I'm allowed to recommend doctors?  But I am in Manhattan and see Dr. Lauren Schwartz at Manhattan Gastroenterology.  I am still in the process of (potentially) being diagnosed and she has been wonderful.  She has experience in Celiac and has a very calming bedside manner.  I feel confident I'll get the right diagnosis with her.  Give her a try if she takes your insurance.  Good luck!
