Semolina's Pasta

I just got back from a divine dinner date at Semolina's, where I ate gluten free, without any trouble whatsoever.

The Rice Sticks pasta is gluten free, according to the company, and I had the best dinner. You can sub it for the pasta in any other dish, and they will go to any lengths to ensure that you do not get cross contaminated food.

The Rice Sticks pasta is not gooey or too hard, and actually picks up the flavors of your dish better than a semolina pasta. The dish it is in on the menu is Pad Thai. They use peanuts, soy products, rice, & seafood in this dish. The sauce is a sesame-ginger-lime vinaigrette, tossed with bean sprouts, shiitake mushrooms, peanuts, grilled tofu, and of course, Rice Sticks. Bring your own gluten-free soy sauce, salad dressings, and bread. The company gladly heats your bread in a convection oven, wrapped in foil or your provided oven-safe container.

Currently, there are no gluten free appetizers or desserts. If you bring your own bread, the appetizer issue is self-solved, as the appetizers are all dips of some denomination. Ask for the bread to be left out, and eat the sauce with your own for a great starter. Desserts are all gluten-laden, and must be avoided. The bar stocks several great liquors and can mix up a gluten free sweet treat for the over-21 crowd, or virgin versions for those who wish for a treat without the alcohol. Where our local Semolina's is located, it is better to go next door for a sundae or upstairs to catch the latest release in the theater with your date. Either way, Semolina's is a perfect meal for a nice night out.

You do not need to call ahead to eat safely at Semolina's, but do let your server and the chef know that you have Celiac/wheat intolerance. The manager on duty will always make the rounds, so please be sure to thank them for a great job serving our community.

Prices vary, but expect to pay about $15-20 per person. Gratuity is added for groups of 6 or more, and reservations are recommended for large groups. Locations span southeastern Louisiana.

Thanks to Semolina's Adventures in Pasta at 4436 Veterans Memorial Blvd, Metairie, Lousiana for te great service and info.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  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.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      CT with contrast.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
