Hello.

My daughter and I are already finding it difficult to have the treat of eating somewhere when we are out. (I'm not strictly gluten free until after my biopsy this week, but I am doing this while I am out and about for her sake and for practice!). Anyway, it's not that we want to eat out all the time, but we would just like to have that option sometimes.  She is really noticing a problem when she is out with friends.  She went to IKEA where they said they had some gluten free dinner options, and she got a bad stomach ache afterwards.  She really feels it was from eating there.  She had said the woman who served her seemed really knowledgeable so she trusted it.  Does anyone have any suggestions for a teen who would just like to have that treat once in a while with friends? She did find that Five Guys has fries that she can enjoy once in a while when she is out. They cook them separate in a fryer, and there isn't gluten in them.  So at least she has one place so far for a small treat.  She also had a plain salad at Applebee's that didn't give her any problems, but sometimes she just doesn't want a salad.  Any ideas of places that you would consider pretty safe? Especially for a lunch out?

This really come down to locations, use the FindMeGluten Free app and see about places with good reviews from celiacs, and always inform your waiter, and perhaps talk to the manager. There is also the Nima Sensor a portable gluten test kit, if you get get a good sampling it works...but depends on what you order and the sample.  GlidenX can shorten symptoms...your still going to damage yourself but at least it shortens/minimizes the misery with CC issues.

I personally only eat at 2 places that are not 100% gluten free, I order certain items I have seen cooked and due to method are hard to CC. IE they roast fish and veggies on a conveyor oven on disposable foil sheets....and transfer to my plat. Or our local sushi restaurant uses JUST fish, no sauces and fix and cut it right in front of me.

There are also 100% dedicated gluten free restaurants, I run a catering business and bakery for gluten free myself. But sometimes I head to this 100% gluten free British pub in Dallas, that the owner knows his stuff as his children have the disease. There is also a 100% gluten and grain free cafe in San Antonio that I visited on vacation there.
Really is a bonus when you find one with a owner or manager that has celiac.

Oh for in home treats check these out.

      My bone structure is disintegrating and I’m having to have my teeth removed

      There’s a Cosco in Auckland in New Zealand. It’s a bit away from where I live but it’s worth the travel for me. Very appreciative of your advice.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      It seems you have proven that you cannot eat gluten.  You've done what your doctors have not been able to do in 40 years. That's your low vitamin D, a common symptom with Celiac Disease.  Zinc is also a common defiency.  Its an antiviral.  that's why zinc gluconate lozenges work against airborne viruses.  Vitamin D and the Immune System+ Toe cramps, I find 250 mg of Thiamine helps.   When I started GFD I counted 19 symptoms going back to childhood that improved with Gluten Free Diet and vitamin D. I still take 10,000 IU a day to maintain 80 ng/ml and get it tested 4 times a year. Highest was 93 ng/ml and that was at end of summer.  Any excess is stored in fat or excreted through bile.   The western diet is deficient in many nutrients including choline and iodine.  Thats why processed foods are fortified.  Celiac Disease causes malabsorption of vitamins and minerals from the small intestine damage.  GFD stops the damage, but you will still have symptoms of deficiency until you get your vitamins repleted to normal.  Try to reduce your omega 6:3 ratio.  The Standard American Diet is 14:1 or greater.  Healthy is 3:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  Potatoes are 3:1 while sweet potatoes are 14:1.  So those sweet potatos that everyone says is better than Russet: they are increasing your inflammation levels.

      Weird Symptoms

      My mother also has celiac disease, and one of her symptoms for many years before her diagnosis was TMJ. I believe it took her many years on a gluten-free diet before this issue went away.

      Weird Symptoms

      By Jeff Platt · Posted

      Ear pain and ringing your entire life may or may not be TMJ related but could be something else. A good TMJ exam would be helpful to rule that out as a potential cause from a dentist who treats that. I have teens as well as adults of all ages who suffer from TMJ issues so it’s not a certain age when it shows up.

      Weird Symptoms

      By cristiana · Posted

      Not sure if related to coeliac disease but my ear ringing  has stepped up a notch since diagnosis.  Even since a child silence really hurts my ears - there is always a really loud noise if there is no other noise in a quiet room - but my brain has learned to filter it out.  Since diagnosis in my forties I also get a metallic ringing in my ears, sometimes just one, sometimes both.  But it comes and goes.   My sister also suffers now, we are both in our fifties, but she is not a coeliac, so for all I know it could just be an age thing.  I do get occasional stabbing pain in my ears but that has been all my life, and I do appear to be vulnerable to outer ear infections too.  So not a particularly helpful reply here, but I suppose what I am trying to say is it might be related but then again it could just be one of those things.   I think in the UK where I live doctors like you to report if you get tinnitus in just the one ear.  I reported mine but no cause was found.  Most of the time it is nothing but sometimes it can have a cause that can be treated, so perhaps worth reporting to your GP.
