I was in Atlanta last week, and we actually ate there twice!!! The food was SO DELICIOUS, and I was felt like a normal person eating in a restaurant.

One word of caution: The first time we ate there I ordered the chocolate flourless cake, and they cautioned me that they would have to serve it without ice cream because their ice cream is not gluten free. That was fine, and it was wonderful! We ate there again a few days later. I ordered the chocolate flourless cake (they knew I was gluten free for medical reasons) but it came with the ice cream on top. I asked the waitress to please verify that I could have it and briefly explained why I was questioning it. She took it away, and came back with a fresh dessert (sans ice cream) and was VERY apologetic. She said that indeed their ice cream is not gluten free, and didn't understand how the mix up happened...they pride themselves in doing a superb job with allergies, intolerances, etc. etc. I think it really was a very honest mistake. I only describe my experience to say: YES, dine at Wildfire, it's AMAZING, but keep your gluten radar on high (as we should anywhere we dine away from home).

I had the steak tenderloin sandwich. Imagine that! A sandwich in a restaurant, oh was I ever in the clouds. The steak was very tender, the kinnikinnick bun was toasted, and all served with shredded lettuce and tomato. EXCELLENT! The kind of sandwich you get in a "nice" restaurant.

I would also like to throw out a caution, as with every restaurant. I went a few weeks ago and really enjoyed it, however, our waiter was not familiar with gluten free and had to ask the manager about the blue cheese on the salad. I ordered the gluten-free cake and it came out looking suspicous (was 3 layers and very tall - not at all like a flourless cake would look), but since it wasn't on the "normal" menu or on the dessert tray that they took around I figured it had to be the gluten-free cake. Well, come to find out it was NOT gluten-free, so I was served (and ate) a regular cake. I will still go back there again though, as the rest of my meal was great, but I will definitely question things if there is any doubt in my mind (I'm still new to this so mistakes are bound to happen).

My Brother, Mother, and I went here for lunch today and it was delicious! I love the portabella mushroom sandwich.

That's strange ... or else their gluten-free menu is ... ice cream is on the gluten-free menu. :blink:

Hahaha! I didn't have a menu in my hands at the moment, but that's what I was told at lunch one day and then confirmed at dinner a couple of days later. I thought it would be unusual that the vanilla ice cream wasn't gluten-free, but I certainly was going to argue or question? Hmmmm....wonder what the real story is???

Might be worth an e-mail inquiry to corportate.

      An early incubation and inoculation

      You say "Consumption of gluten continues to have no effect," but when was your last endoscopy/biopsy? Without doing a regular biopsy, there is no way for you to be sure that eating gluten has no effect on your health.

      Is it gluten?

      @Woodster991, were you eating lots of daily gluten in the 6-8 weeks leading up to your blood test for celiac disease? If not, then your results could be false negative. Many of your symptoms are identical to mine before I was diagnosed, with the exception of constipation. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a...

      Is it gluten?

      Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Indeterminate transglutaminase iga

      Welcome to the forum, @Kipman! When you say your Iga is low I assume you are referring to total IGA. Can you confirm this? If so, the antibody test score for the transglutaminase iga (what we generally refer to as tTG-IGA) test score cannot be trusted. Low total IGA (i.e., being "IGA deficient) will drive down the scores in the tTG-IGA test and can cause...

      Is it gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      @Woodster991, were you eating lots of daily gluten in the 6-8 weeks leading up to your blood test for celiac disease? If not, then your results could be false negative. Many of your symptoms are identical to mine before I was diagnosed, with the exception of constipation. 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. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

In order to properly test anyone for celiac disease you need to be eating lost of gluten everyday for 6-8 weeks before being screened, otherwise your results could be false negative.

      Indeterminate transglutaminase iga

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Kipman! When you say your Iga is low I assume you are referring to total IGA. Can you confirm this? If so, the antibody test score for the transglutaminase iga (what we generally refer to as tTG-IGA) test score cannot be trusted. Low total IGA (i.e., being "IGA deficient) will drive down the scores in the tTG-IGA test and can cause false negatives. Ask your physician to run a more complete celiac antibody panel which would include the DGP-IGA test as well as the DGP-IGG and TTG-IGG tests as well as the total IGA and the tTG-IGA. You must not be engaging in the gluten free diet until all testing is completed, both the serum antibody testing and the endoscopy/biopsy, if the phyiscian should refer you for a GI doc consult who may want to do that procedure. Being on a gluten free diet or a reduced gluten diet will sabotage any testing. Here is an article presenting an overview of the various tests that can be run when checking for celiac disease: From the above article:  IgA Levels/Deficiency Blood Test This should always be included in any blood panel for celiac disease, but it does not test directly for celiac disease, and is done to determine the accuracy of the other blood tests. People who are IgA deficient may score lower, of have no measurable levels on certain celiac disease blood tests. This test measures the levels of Immunoglobulin A (IgA) in the bloodstream. IgA is an important antibody that plays a significant role in the immune system, particularly in protecting the body's mucosal surfaces (e.g., respiratory and digestive tracts). Low IgA levels can indicate IgA deficiency, a condition where the body does not produce enough IgA, leading to an increased risk of infections and other health issues. The IgA Levels/Deficiency Test helps healthcare providers diagnose and monitor IgA-related conditions. Other Names for the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test: Immunoglobulin A (IgA) Test Total IgA Test Serum IgA Test IgA Serum Levels Test IgA Blood Test IgA Quantitative Test IgA Antibody Test IgA Immunodeficiency Test
