Welcome to the forum, @Mia George!

You neglected to mention what city you need recommendations for.

Thanks for pointing that out! I'm looking for recommendations in Washington DC. Any gluten-free friendly spots would be greatly appreciated!

Hello,

im from Rhode Island and looking for gluten-free restaurants is tricky unfortunately I was diagnosed 5 months ago and just started to go out to eat found one place so far there menu’s are gluten-free it’s called 110 grill it’s the best so far . I’ve tried a few other places and have gotten sick . And going on a vacation has got to be tricky I’m not ready yet for that.

good luck peace lily

The problem with restaurants that have gluten-free menus is that it doesn't eliminate cross contamination in the way they cook and handle the food back in the kitchen where they are using the same grills, pots and pans and utensils they are using to cook and handle wheat containing foods. The food may start out as gluten free but get's cross contaminated in the prep and handling. This can make a real difference if you are a sensitive celiac.

      Help with blood test result

      By trents · Posted

      I was wrong, however, about there being no particular health concerns associated with high total IGA: https://www.inspire.com/resources/chronic-disease/understanding-high-iga-levels-causes-impacts/ So maybe the physician's "borderline" remark is relevant to that.

      Sometimes that is the case but what is curious to me is the remark by your physician about being "borderline". I assume he was referring to the total IGA score but it just seems like an irrelevant remark when it is on the high side rather than being deficient.

      Waiting Too Long to Brush Teeth after Gluten

      By StrongerThanCeliac · Posted

      Hi,  I’ve noticed that it usually takes me about 5-6 days to recover from a glutening. I was just thinking and maybe I’m going crazy. Long story but I wasn’t able to brush my teeth for a couple days after being glutened. Is there a way the gluten could be like stuck in my teeth still and still causing some sort of reaction because I waited too long to brush? Or is that insane

      Gluten Free ADHD medications

      By cristiana · Posted

      @Gluten is bad Hi!  I just caught this post, and am writing on the off-chance that you might be based in the UK.  If so, I was told some years ago by a pharmacist that in the UK that if a medicine has a Product Licence printed on the packaging, which will appear as the letters PL plus a long number.... for example....  PL 4525908 (making that number up!) it will be gluten free.   I have just checked this on an NHS website, and indeed it appears to be true.  According to the same website, all medications prescribed by GPs in the UK are gluten free. https://www.nhsinform.scot/healthy-living/food-and-nutrition/special-diets/gluten-free-diet/#medicines The same NHS website also makes a very good point.  You might take a gluten-free medication prescribed by a GP that might set off symptoms very similar to a glutening.  Like some meds cause stomach pain or diarrhea, but that doesn't mean they contain gluten. Obviously, if you are purchasing medication from overseas, the above might not apply. Hope this is helpful, and that you can get your medication soon - I have an acquaintance who has had to wait some time. Cristiana

      I wonder if the tTG-Iga result isn't back yet as there is nothing next to that one, perhaps it takes a little longer.
