We're looking to take a short trip, one possible destination is Bangor Maine.

I can't seem to find anything online about gluten-free or Celiac-friendly restaurants there?

Can anyone help me?

I usually go to the restaurants that have gluten free info on their websites. Here are a few:

Applebee's

Uno's

Chili's

Olive Garden

Denny's

I have to tell you though, Bangor doesn't have the nicest of people. I don't think the waiters even know the size of their own underwear. I mostly have salads no croutons with oil and vinegar. So far, the best place there was Olive Garden. They were very understanding and the dish was amazing. They brought me my own salad. I even brought my own corn chips and ordered their awesome brushetta mix.

You can go on their website and they actually have a few things that are gluten free.

If you like Thai, there is a great one called Thai Siam in Downtown Bangor.

I have looked on Applebee's website, but, cannot find any info on gluten at all. Can you tell me how to find this info? Thanks!

I used to agree with this... but now I'm very concerned with that place! I told a waitress there about my sensitivity a few months ago and she was very helpful... she gave me a rundown of everything on the menu that is safe. Then I was there last night and a woman seated near me had such a horrible experience. She'd told the waitress she was gluten-free when she was seated, questioned the food that was brought out to her and found out that it was made using soy sauce with wheat. The chef and waitress both tried to convince the woman to eat the food anyway, since "only a splash" of the soy sauce was used. The woman asked for steamed chicken/vegetables and the chef told her it was impossible to do that without soy sauce.

Now I have no idea whether or not to trust what the previous waitress had told me. I am Googling around to see if anyone else has had a similar experience so I can decide whether or not to avoid the restaurant, but I can't find anything too helpful!

Applebees is not gluten free friendly.Even the grilled chicken is not safe. Most sport bar type eateries use the same supplier. Most grilled chicken or any chicken is flas frozen with a flash glaze that we can not have!

Chili's is ok & Texas Roadhouse is ok for grilled chicken....

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      Well, that's interesting. I am lactose intolerant and have been managing that for years. I'd be interested in seeing if that changes once I feel better from not eating gluten (one thing at a time for now, though). Helpful to hear about the avenin. I will do some digging and pose that to the dietitian. Grateful for your feedback.

      High blood test numbers - with scales. Any advice?

      I agree with @RMJ, you have multiple positive tests so celiac disease is likely. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease.

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      One small study found that 50% of celiacs react to the dairy protein "casein" like they do to gluten. It is also common for celiacs to be lactose (the sugar in milk) intolerant, though that often disappears in time as the villi heal. About 10% of celiacs react to the oat protein "avenin" like they do gluten.

      Thank you so much Trents (Scott?)! I have started working with a dietitian and did a deep research dive as soon as I got the diagnosis. I am aware of what you mentioned in the first two paragraphs, and was not aware of anything in the third, so I am grateful for that information, and will talk to the dietitian about that. I think I was most interested in...

I learnt adults butterfly chicken cooked on a grill purely for chicken.  This is fine and what we ordered however nandos need to take note of your practises for the safety of celiac children. my daughter has been ill from their nandinos chicken before and i emailed head office and they wouldnt accept responsibility

I think I was most interested in the withdrawal process - it gives me hope that, although I have felt unwell recently, I just need to be patient (not a strong suit). I have printed the article you sent and will look at it more closely. Thanks again!
