Personally I have some other issues and only found I can eat at a dedicated place called Across the Pond up in Richardson Texas in the DFW area. I used to enjoy eating a few other places but one has shut down and the other changed cooking methods so it is no longer safe for me. >.< it got to the point I started up my own Paleo based catering business and have been selling at vendor stalls in the local farmers market.

I ( and many of us) use the 'find me gluten free' app - you plug in the address of where you want to eat and the app will bring up potential restaurants in the area with reviews from actual people who ate there.  it's for real, I review on it all the time.  that being said, not many restaurants are perfect, choose wisely, ask questions and don't be shy when you're ordering out.  I tell people I am on a medically necessary diet and i'm not just trying to be healthy or lose weight.  I have had pretty good luck once you know what to look out for ;) 

some places, I just look at the menu and order a drink, lolz - one place in NJ was all kinds of fried, breaded, just mostly gluten filled menu.  just gave the menu back to the server and ordered a wine, lolz - no sense in tempting fate!!  good luck!!

I've been fine eating at Qdoba if I ask them to change gloves and use clean utensils. 

I've worked with our local Applebees too. They will clean the grill, change gloves...ect for me. So, haven't had any issues there either. 

We have a couple of pizza places that have dedicated stations for gluten-free pizzas and haven't had an issue there either. 

I've eaten out at these places about twice a month for the last several years without an issue. There's only one item on the menu at each that I can have and only because I've very specific with the restaurant staff on how to prepare the food and they accommodate me.

      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.
