My sons (ages 5 & 3 1/2) have celiac disease, they each have a celiac gene (from dad) and a wheat sensitivity gene (from me). They've had all kinds of symptoms which have cleared up since being gluten-free, but no biopsy. Hubby has had a difficult time accepting all of this (approx 2 1/2 yrs since initial diagnosis).

Well, he's (hubby) finally decided to go gluten-free!!! :D

He works in downtown Dallas and usually brings his lunch but does have many occassions where he has to go out for lunch for business.

I am compling a list but need some additional help. This is what I have thus far:

www.chickfila.com, Taco Cabana, Outback Steakhouse, Carrabbas, PF Chang's, Pei Wei, Flemings Steakhouse, McDonalds, Wendy's, First Watch, Chipotle, Jack in the Box, Denny's will bring out a list of stuff and go over it with you so you know just what is in every thing.

I will also be posting a similar request for downtown Houston - he travels there a lot.

Thank you very much!

I have to eat out more often than I like, and I live in Dallas, there are several options f)or him.

1) Chuy's on Knox-Henderson is very accomodating. If you ask the server, he will double check all ingredients. Chips and Nachos are OK, Enchiladas are OK (Handmade corn tortillas) make sure the sauce is not thickened with a roux.

2) El Chico has gluten free menu options-though I have not tested them yet

3) Kozy Kitchen, co-owned by a Celiac. Again, not tested website is Kozykitchen.net

4)Rockfish-had two great dinners this week. Today at lunch the chef came out to my table to make sure all was OK.

5) Cowboy Chicken on Greenville ave- Corn tortillas filled with white rotissirre (sp) chicken with the "light green/white" sauce. I have not tried it, but another member of the forum has had it.

6) If he is in Plano, Delicious n Fit is all gluten free

7) Free birds on Greenville also has all the allergens listed on their website

I hope this helps you. There is also a Chuy's in Houston, but I don't know where. Most of the above are chains so you might be able to search their sites for locations.

The above link helps me a lot.

      Gluten Free Soy Flour - Where to buy?

      By Jules87 · Posted

      Hello!  I like to use soy flour for baking and recently discovered that Bob's Red Mill has discontinued its soy flour product. I've been able to find it at a few local international grocery stores but I have some concerns about cross contamination. Wondering if anyone knows a company / brand that specifically calls out their soy flour is gluten free? Or at least cleans the line before producing it? Thank you for any suggestions in advance!

      Can food allergies like milk and soy flatten villi?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Did you get a blood screening done for celiac disease? If so, feel free to share your results here. Normally this is done before a biopsy, and after a positive blood test. For people with celiac disease hidden gluten in their diets is the main cause of elevated Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibodies (tTG-IgA), but there are other conditions, including cow's milk/casein intolerance, that can also cause this, and here is an article about the other possible causes:

      Can food allergies like milk and soy flatten villi?

      Hi, @Matt13, About half of people with Celiac Disease react to Casein, the protein in dairy, in the same way as to the protein Gluten.  They have similar segments of polypeptides which trigger the autoimmune response of Celiac Disease. Damage to the Villa lining the intestines can be patchy or beyond the reach of the endoscopy equipment.   Hope this helps!

      Indeterminate transglutaminase iga

      Nutritional deficiencies caused by undiagnosed, untreated Celiac Disease can cause symptoms like you describe.  Malabsorption of nutrients is caused by damage to the intestinal lining which makes absorbing essential nutrients difficult.  We need to absorb sufficient vitamins and minerals from our diet everyday to make sure our body functions properly. Different vitamins and minerals can be stored for different amounts of time, but usually one of the first to become insufficient is Thiamin Vitamin B 1.   Every cell in our bodies uses Thiamin as an energy source to do cell functions, especially the brain.  Our brain just sitting and thinking uses as much thiamine as muscles do running a marathon.   Emotional trauma and physical trauma can each precipitate thiamine deficiency disorders.   Thiamine deficiency disorders can manifest as sudden weight loss (without trying to lose weight),  OR sudden weight gain.  Pins and needles (paresthesia, neuropathy), muscle aches and cramps, forgetfulness and brain fog, insomnia, frequent urination, constipation and/or diarrhea, and abdominal pain are all symptoms of deficiencies in Thiamine and other B vitamins.   Gastrointestinal BeriBeri  is caused by Thiamin deficiency with the symptoms of nausea and abdominal pain.   Doctors are not well educated in nutritional deficiencies, so deficiency symptoms are often brushed aside and ignored or attributed to other things.   Blood tests are not accurate measures of thiamine or other B vitamin deficiencies.  The best way to determine a thiamine deficiency is to take thiamine and look for improvement of symptoms. Symptoms should improve within hours or days.  Doctors can administer thiamine intravenously for faster results, but over-the-counter Benfothiamine (an active form of thiamine) works just as well.  Thiamine is not harmful to be administered because thiamin is water soluble, meaning excess is easily excreted by the kidneys.  Thiamine is nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps with PTSD and C-PTSD.  PTSD happens after one traumatic event or series of events.  C-PTSD happens after being chronically traumatized, day after day, frequently starting in childhood.  An example of Chronic PTSD would be a child being told their stomach aches were faked to get out of going to school because the child was really just lazy, when in reality the child has undiagnosed active Celiac Disease and diverticulitis.  My blog on this site has more information on my journey and thiamine deficiency. Do talk to your doctor and nutritionist about correcting nutritional deficiencies that accrue in Celiac Disease.  Ask about Gastrointestinal BeriBeri.
