Hi All. So, I've been rocking along and doing really well on my no gluten lifestyle. A couple days ago a good friend and her family came into town and wanted to meet up for dinner at Outback. My wife and I went. I planned to just nurse sodas and eat when I got home. Then I got the genius idea that I could order a steak with nothing else. I thought "What cross contamination could there be? All they grill on the grill are steaks....." . (I can see all of you shaking your heads sadly and tsking. ) The inevitable happened...I thoroughly enjoyed my steak and suffered for it throughout the next day. I have now accepted that I will most probably not be able to eat out. We live in Central Florida in a smallish town and choices are limited. But I feel so much better,both physically and moodwise, that I hardly care.

A few of us here use GliadinX whenever we eat outside our homes, they are a sponsor here, and their AN-PEP based enzymes have been shown in numerous studies to break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines.

Of course it's best to just not eat out, however, for many people this isn't a realistic option.

This may also help:

Thank you, Scott. That was very helpful advice. I plan on getting a bottle of the GliadinX as soon as I can. I'm watching my pennies at the moment. But I really do appreciate your response. Love your site.

Thank you, Darren! I'm saving that to my list of restaurants. So far yours is my first entry. 🙂

      Swollen Lymph Nodes

      By Emma R. · Posted

      Hello my gluten free friends,  I am 2 years out from diagnosis and doing well. A year prior to having any symptoms I noticed a swollen lymph node. This has been 3ish years ago now. The lymph node currently is still swollen. I recently went back to the doctor for it. They did an ultrasound and found it to have “no suspicious activity and benign in nature”. My doctor said it could have been one of the first signs my body was giving me that I had an autoimmune disorder. She said it may go away eventually or could always stay slightly swollen because of the disease. Has anyone else experienced something similar? I don’t know if I should ask for a biopsy to confirm it’s not cancerous.    Emma

      Be careful of pre-sliced cheese, too.  I have been ok getting it cut at deli's.  That, too, can be a gamble, but so far there has been no cross-contamination.  I have heard they use such a small amount of cellulose, they do not have to include it in the ingredients.

      Fushiacat, thank you for your response. i didn’t realize they were adding it to cheese products to prevent it from caking. That explains a lot.

      Many years ago, I discovered that cellulose makes me very sick.  It is often in pre-shredded cheese or the parmesan cheese in the green shaker bottle.  It is used to keep the cheese from sticking and turning into a large lump. Many medicines use this as a filler, so I have been forced to get my rx's compounded, which is never covered.  Check with the drug manufacture before getting something to see if it contains cellulose.  It is usually listed as an inactive ingredient.  Cellulose can be composed of a variety of things, including wheat, so it is a gamble using it if cellulose is a listed ingredient.  I know of one other person with this same problem.  Supplements also have cellulose as fillers or the capsules themselves can have it. If I mistakenly get this, it makes me sick for days.
