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. 🙂

      Importance/Necessity of a gluten-free kitchen??

      By trents · Posted

      Eating out at restaurants is the single most risky environment for cross contamination.  Shared oven racks should be thoroughly cleaned after being used for cooking/baking of gluten containing foods. Better yet, purchase a second set of racks that are used only for one or the other.

      Importance/Necessity of a gluten-free kitchen??

      By Brandy969 · Posted

      This is an expanding question on this topic, I’m not sure where to put it…. I get mixed answers on this but sense I’m Coeliac and my husband isn’t we do still use the same kitchen and cooking utensils-for the most part. I was told by dietitians and GI dr that only soap and water will “kill” the gluten. I am still so confused about this topic, even after being gluten-free for 3 years. I’m sure I’ve accidentally gotten cross contamination, but haven’t knowingly put anything with gluten in my mouth! I probably get more contamination from eating out than in our “shared kitchen”. I make all my bread in a gluten-free bread machine, and he generally uses a toaster oven to heat up gluten containing items. I bake both regular and gluten-free items in our oven, (Not at the same time). I’m constantly wiping down counters and cabinets with soap and water. I keep gluten-free items in a separate cabinet. I don’t seem to be super sensitive to gluten. I was confirmed by blood and on colonoscopy about 15 years ago, but continued eating Gluten not really knowing the damage I was doing to my body.  Can anything besides soap and water “kill” gluten? How hot would an oven have to be before killing it? So any kind of soap and any temp of water omit the gluten? That makes no sense to me if a 500 degree pizza oven won’t kill it. How can a dab of soap and lukewarm water do what heat can’t do?   thank you for putting this where it needs to be if this is the wrong spot!  sincerely needing advice, Brandy J

      I would say the tTG-IGA would be sufficient.

      I think I don't have any symptoms now. I have some fogginess but I'm not sure whether it's gluten. I think the gut related problems I described above were caused because I had giardiasis. It was treated and now I feel much better. However I started a gluten free diet after the parasite treatment so it's a bit unclear what was the reason. I'm going to repeat the tests after 2 months from now eating gluten to be sure it was giardiasis. Is it enough to do just "Deamidated gliadin peptide IgA" and "The Tissue Transglutaminase IgA antibody"? Because my Immunoglobulin A result is normal IgG tests are not necessary if I understand it right. By the way, Merry Christmas!
