So even though Texas Roadhouse doesn't have a gluten free menu anymore, I had a great experience at the one in Manchester, CT last night. The manager himself had celiac, so he was very knowledgable and helpful. It was the first time in ages I've eaten out and felt totally OK! If you live nearby, check it out.

I'm glad you had agood experience because myTexas Roadhouse in West Haven was completely different. All their BBQ sauce has gluten in it according to the server. So I opted for a grilled steak. I thought I would be safe with a baked potato, but the server informed me that the potatoes are rolled in salt, then deep fryed to get the skins crunchy. I didn't feel like getting cross contaminated from the fryer, since they cooked other things in the fryer also. So needless to say, I could have gone anywhere for a steak (like outback), so we won't be going back there anytime soon. Maybe the Manchester place has a differnent menu/options.

I don't think the menu was different, I just think the manager knew what he was talking about (well at least I would hope so if he's a celiac himself) and had the kitchen take appropriate precautions :-)

      High blood test numbers - with scales. Any advice?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @RMJ, you have multiple positive tests so celiac disease is likely.  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.

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By trents · Posted

      One small study found that 50% of celiacs react to the dairy protein "casein" like they do to gluten. It is also common for celiacs to be lactose (the sugar in milk) intolerant, though that often disappears in time as the villi heal. About 10% of celiacs react to the oat protein "avenin" like they do gluten.

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By K6315 · Posted

      Thank you so much Trents (Scott?)! I have started working with a dietitian and did a deep research dive as soon as I got the diagnosis. I am aware of what you mentioned in the first two paragraphs, and was not aware of anything in the third, so I am grateful for that information, and will talk to the dietitian about that. I think I was most interested in the withdrawal process - it gives me hope that, although I have felt unwell recently, I just need to be patient (not a strong suit). I have printed the article you sent and will look at it more closely. Thanks again!

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @K6315! Gluten withdrawal typically lasts for a period of a few weeks. But there is a real learning curve involved in actually attaining to a gluten free dietary state. Much more is involved than just cutting out major sources of gluten such as bread and pasta. It's all the places that gluten is hidden in the food supply that is difficult to ferret out, like soy sauce and canned tomato soup, canned chili and canned pork n' beans, some "lite" pancake syrups, potato salad, flavorings, etc., etc. Gluten-containing grain products are hidden through alternate terminology and found in places you would never expect.  There is also "cross contamination" where naturally gluten free foods come into contact with gluten-containing grains during farming, transportation, storage and manufacturing processes. Then there is the issue of "cross reactivity" whereby you may be having gluten-like reaction to food proteins whose structure is similar to gluten. Chief among these are dairy, oats (even gluten-free oats), soy, corn and eggs. I am including this article that you might find helpful:
