Olive Garden

I went to Olive Garden in San Antonio yesterday. It was my DD birthday and she wanted to go there. This is the first time I have tried to eat out at a nice place since being diognosed. I checked out the web site and asked ya'll for your advice. The web site said to ask for a manager if you were needing gluten free food. So I asked the waiter if he had been trained in gluten free food and he gave me a blank stare and said no. So I told him I have very bad food allergies and that the website said to ask for a manager. He came back not with the restaurant manager but the culinary manager. He had on his hat and chef shirt looked like Chef Ramsey. I loved it. :lol: This guy knew all about gluten free told me what was on the menu. I choose the pork fillatino which came with grilled onions and bell peppers, and tuscan potatoes. I was told that he would have to make the pork without the demiglaze as it had a thickener in it. I also asked about the romano cheese that is put on the salad (I love that). :rolleyes: He wasn't sure and went back to check and brought me the label so I could be sure as well. He also told me that he would instruct my waiter on how to fix my salad in a seperate bowl without the crutons. Everything was delicious. I was so impressed. The best part, I wasn't glutened. It was a wonderful experience and so nice to know I can go somewhere and eat out again. YEAAAAA!!!! Thanks for all your advice and help. :D

      I haven’t been diagnosed formally. My doctor always called it eczema but over the years I have figured out it isn’t.  I’ll do some research on iodine. Thanks for that info.

      I would not think abstaining from commercially processed food would have any effect on dermatitis herpetiformis. What can help with dermatitis herpetiformis is reducing iodine in your diet and, of course, you must completely abstain from gluten.  Many who suffer from dermatitis herpetiformis cannot find relief until they get on a med called Dapsone. It seems to be pretty effective but stresses the liver. So, anyone taking it must have their liver enzymes monitored regularly. By the way, celiac disease is the only know cause for dermatitis herpetiformis. Has your rash been officially diagnosed as dermatitis herpetiformis? It can be a challenge to find a dermatologist who knows how to properly biopsy dermatitis herpetiformis when seeking a diagnosis.

      I was eating gluten at the time it was done. I do not eat commercially processed food and we make it all from scratch so I wonder if that might cause an issue.

      When you had the blood draw done for the antibody testing, had you already been practicing a gluten free diet? If so, that would also sabotage the results of the tTG-IGA.

      The rash on my hands is the little blisters or  dermatitisherpetiformi you are referencing. They itch like crazy and no doctor has ever been able to get them to go away. When I remove gluten from my diet they go away. I decided to do the test for that reason. It’s really my only symptom but my sister has celiac disease and the same hand rash. her doctor recommended I get tested.
