My one foray to a restaurant was an eye opener

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. 🙂

      Inconclusive biopsy results

      By trents · Posted

      In the time leading up to the blood draw for the antibody testing, attempt to consume at least 10g of gluten daily, about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. Concerning the two antibody tests I suggested, the "total IGA" is not a test per se to detect celiac disease but to check for IGA deficiency. If you are IGA deficient, the test scores for individual IGA tests will be artificially low and can generate false negatives. The TTG-IGA test is the most popular test ordered by physicians when checking for celiac disease, and considered to be the centerpiece of celiac disease antibody testing, but it is not the only one. Ideally, others would be ordered but cost containment in medicine being what it is, physicians seldom order a "full celiac panel" at the outset. Here is an overview of the tests that can be run:

      Thanks for the reply, I will ask for the antibody test. FODMAP does not eliminate gluten so it shouldn’t affect the results.

      I would ask to have celiac antibody blood tests done. These tests would not be valid, however, unless you were eating normal amounts of gluten for weeks or months leading up to the blood draw. So, not sure how the FODMAP diet figures into that. Ask for a minimum of 1. total IGA and 2. TTG-IGA. "Villi are swollen, congested, and shorter." "Moderate chronic duodenitis with loss of villi." These two lab findings you list are classic signs of celiac disease but can also have other causes.

      Inhaler problem

      I never said anesthesia. Medical companies can of course change their ingredients at anytime. What may be listed as gluten free on a website may not be updated so always good to check with pharmacy or the medical company itself.

      So there can be gluten in pain meds, but I've never heard of it in anesthesia before. Do you have any more info on this claim, perhaps a link to a source?
