Morton's has an "au juice" that they put on all their steaks and it is NOT gluten free. I've been stung there before because their own staff wasn't aware so you have to order your steak without the sauce.

My steak came on top of a giant piece of bread all soaked in au jus.

Since I had already explained my allergy to the waiter, I was shocked. He said it was a crouton.

It was New Year's Eve.

So I ate the steak and ordered Volcano Cake and ate that too.

And my honey rubbed my back all night long.

I'll never forget our expensive New Year's dinner.

I went to Morton's a few months ago for my anniversary and our waiter was not only hysterically funny, but also very helpful and thorough in making sure all my food was ok.

He checked on everything for me. He suggested that my steak be cooked without their seasoing because he couldn't guarantee it was ok. My husband wanted to order the hashbrowns but he said the lyonaise potatoes which are almost the same type of thing, might be a better choice (I forget why, but he was hesitant about the hash browns). At first he thought the godiva chocolate souffle was flourless, but after checking on it, realized they do add a tiny bit of flour.

So I had a filet mignon with bernaise sauce, asparagus (which I also love to put the bernaise sauce on), and lyonaise potatoes. It was delicious; and fun meal.

Looks like it's time for a current 2009 update on Morton's Steakhouse.

I was diagnosed a Celiac 5 years ago, and make a point of checking here and the restaurant listings before I go anywhere. I had an unavoidable business function at the Morton's in Hackensack NJ, and based on what I read here I was concerned.

What a pleasant surprise to find that Morton's is fully functional as a gluten-free-friendly restaurant, on a global basis.

They have a gluten-free menu, the wait-staff and kitchen staff are all trained to handle gluten-free (and other food allergies as well). Their vegetables and meats are all tremendous, and they have at least one gluten-free dessert available for any given sitting.

They have made a corporate global policy of addressing gluten-free needs, and will be making an official corporate statement at some point in the very near future.

Meanwhile, it's a great place for a great gluten-free steak experience.

      I’m terrified it’s too late for me😭

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Cathijean90! I went 13 years from the first laboratory evidence of celiac disease onset before I was diagnosed. But there were symptoms of celiac disease many years before that like a lot of gas. The first laboratory evidence was a rejected Red Cross blood donation because of elevated liver enzymes. They assume you have hepatitis if your liver enzymes are elevated. But I was checked for all varieties of hepatitis and that wasn't it. Liver enzymes continued to slowly creep up for another 13 years and my PCP tested me for a lot of stuff and it was all negative. He ran out of ideas. By that time, iron stores were dropping as was albumin and total protein. Finally, I took it upon myself to schedule an appointment with a GI doc and the first thing he did was test me for celiac disease. I was positive of course. After three months of gluten free eating the liver enzymes were back in normal range. That was back in about 1992. Your story and mine are more typical than not. I think the average time to diagnosis from the onset of symptoms and initial investigation into causes for symptom is about 10 years. Things are improving as there is more general awareness in the medical community about celiac disease than there used to be years ago. The risk of small bowel lymphoma in the celiac population is 4x that of the general population. That's the bad news is.  The good news is, it's still pretty rare as a whole. Yes, absolutely! You can expect substantial healing even after all these years if you begin to observe a strict gluten free diet. Take heart! But I have one question. What exactly did the paperwork from 15 years ago say about your having celiac disease? Was it a test result? Was it an official diagnosis? Can you share the specifics please? If you have any celiac blood antibody test results could you post them, along with the reference ranges for each test? Did you have an endoscopy/biopsy to confirm the blood test results?

      I’m terrified it’s too late for me😭

      By Cathijean90 · Posted

      I’ve just learned that I had been diagnosed with celiac and didn’t even know. I found it on paperwork from 15 years ago. No idea how this was missed by every doctor I’ve seen after the fact. I’m sitting here in tears because I have really awful symptoms that have been pushed off for years onto other medical conditions. My teeth are now ruined from vomiting, I have horrible rashes on my hands, I’ve lost a lot of weight, I’m always in pain, I haven’t had a period in about 8-9 months. I’m so scared. I have children and I saw it can cause cancer, infertility, heart and liver problems😭 I’ve been in my room crying for the last 20minutes praying. This going untreated for so long has me feeling like I’m ruined and it’s going to take me away from my babies. I found this site googling and I don’t know really what has me posting this besides wanting to hear from others that went a long time with symptoms but still didn’t know to quit gluten. I’m quitting today, I won’t touch gluten ever again and I’m making an appointment somewhere to get checked for everything that could be damaged. Is this an automatic sentence for cancer and heart/liver damage after all these symptoms and years? Is there still a good chance that quitting gluten and being proactive from here on out that I’ll be okay? That I could still heal myself and possibly have more children? Has anyone had it left untreated for this amount of time and not had cancer, heart, fertility issues or liver problems that couldn’t be fixed? I’m sure I sound insane but my anxiety is through the roof. I don’t wanna die 😭 I don’t want something taking me from my babies. I’d gladly take anyone’s advice or hear your story of how long you had it before being diagnosed and if you’re still okay?

      diagnostic testing variance

      By trents · Posted

      Genetic testing cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease but it can be used to rule it out and also to establish the potential to develop celiac disease. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop it. To develop celiac disease when you have the genetic potential also requires some kind of trigger to turn the latent genes "on", as it were. The trigger can be a lot of things and is the big mystery component of the celiac disease puzzle at this point in time with regard to the state of our knowledge.  Your IGA serum score would seem to indicate you are not IGA deficient and your tTG-IGA score looks to be in the normal range but in the future please include the reference ranges for negative vs. positive because different labs used different reference ranges. There is no industry standard.

      Since nearly 40% of the population have the genes for celiac disease, but only ~1% end up getting it, a genetic test will only tell you that it is possible that you could one day get celiac disease, it would not be able to tell whether you currently have it or not.

      so much to it.  the genetic testing will help if i don’t have it right? If theres no gene found then I definitely don’t have celiac?  I guess genetic testing, plus ruling out h.pylori, plus gluten challenge will be a good way to confirm yes or no for celiac.
