My friends want to meet there for lunch next weekend (I don't think they know about my celiac disease dx yet) so I thought I'd check here first. I saw a gluten-free menu floating around on here but didn't know if anyone had actually had any success with eating there. Thanks!

Yes, I have eaten there many times. I believe you can get their gluten free menu on line at www.panera.com. If you can't find it, let me know.

They will also let you look at their ingredients book. I have found them very nice to deal with.

Hi there! I looked online and only saw their regular menus. Do you have a link? Thanks so much!

I'm obsessed with the Fuji Apple Chicken salad: no onion, no salad dressing. The whole thing is gluten-free, but the salad dressing has corn in it, and I like it better without the dressing anyway. And since there is no dressing, there isn't any reason to toss it in a salad bowl, so I don't have to worry about the salad bowl being clean. They just stack the ingredients on a clean plate.

I go there 2 times a week, on average, and almost always during lunch. The guy who calls out the names of the dishes ready to be picked up always recognizes me, as does the manager. I always stand by the "window" and watch them make it so I can be certain it's ok.

One time last week, a girl was making it. She started to throw the ingredients into a dirty (well, pre-used, not exactly "dirty") salad bowl to toss it with dressing. I about had a heart attack and the guy that calls out the names (his name is Polo) told her he would make it for me. And he did. :D

I guess the main point of that long winded story was I eat there a lot, the food is good, and I don't get sick. AND the people are really understanding about celiac and cc.

      Welcome to the forum, @marinke! "Type 1a diabetes (DM1) is associated with an increased risk of celiac disease (celiac disease) (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/35/10/2083/38503/IgA-Anti-transglutaminase-Autoantibodies-at-Type-1 "The prevalence of celiac disease (celiac disease) in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is 5.1%, and it is often asymptomatic (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/48/2/e13/157637/Diagnostic-Outcomes-of-Elevated-Transglutaminase So, this is 5x the rate found in the general population.

      Hi James47, You are less than 2 years into your recovery from Celiacs.  Tell us more about the problems you are having. Do you just want to get rid of belly fat or are you still having symptoms like gas and bloating.    For symptoms you may need to change your diet and take various supplements that you cannot adsorb from the foods you eat because of the damage caused by the autoimmune reaction in your small intestine.

      My daughter (4 years old) has type 1 diabetes since she was 1. Therefore, every year a screening is done. We live in the Netherlands. Every year the screening was fine. This year here ttg is positive, 14, >7 is positive. IGA was in range. Could the diabetes cause this positive result? Or the fact that she was sick the weeks before the brood test?

      @DayaInTheSun what were the shortness of breath symptoms for you ? And did they come on all of a sudden or was it a gradual increase in said symptoms?
    • DayaInTheSun
      I had shortness of breath so much so I went to a lung doctor. I told him I get short of breath wirh certain foods, he said “Food doesn’t affect hour breathing.” I told him maybe it was an allergy  he cut me off then said “Food allergies don’t cause shortness of breathe.” I beg to differ as soon as I figured out what foods were causing my shortness of breath it went away. I also never saw him again as he was rude, condescending? And refuse to listen to me kept dismissing my problems as “you’re young.” I cut out Soy, dairy, sesame, eggs, and of course gluten. I stopped being short of breath, going on a two years now. No thanks to the doctor I saw. Figured it out on my own.
