Beware Of Bakers Joy

I have mentioned before that my husband and I own restaurants. My husband is also the local restaurant association president so we see alot of kitchens. Alot of steak houses will spray the steaks so they won't stick to the grill with a restaurant supply source that is like Pam but some also use the bakers joy (contains wheat). Not trying to scare anyone, the restaurants that are known for gluten free menu's such as carraba's and outback do NOT use this practice. Just want to give a heads up on something you should ask about if going to a steak house that is not gluten savvy.

Yes, I agree that there isn't a good reason to do this. Bakers Joy is usually used for the Pantry Chef for Dessert items so again if ordering a dessert make sure they don't use bakers joy. Don't know of anymore tricks but can suggest a couple of things. Chefs are always proud of their kitchens and their food, always ask for them if you can or call ahead to talk to them. They don't mind (unless your calling them during the peak of business) talking about the preparation of your food infact, they usually enjoy it (the good ones). I would never just ask to see the manager because the front of the house usually doesn't get involved with the food preparation and may misunderstand. Also, always try to dine when its not as busy such as before the rush or after the rush then chances of accidental cc are fewer or hopeful nil. Your more expensive restaurants with a culinary chef are always your best bet since almost everything is made from scratch and they know exactly what goes into every item. My fine dining chef just ordered me some chestnut flour that he's excited about, I don't know what I'm going to do with it yet...I'm not anything close to a chef :lol:

      Weak positive blood test and marsh type 1

      By Philly224 · Posted

      Labcorp on demand has the test for 120 bucks which is pretty cool, that's what I did last time so I'll probably do that's again. I've been eating gluten for over a year again, if I increase my intake for two weeks and retest is that long enough?

      Yeah I suggested doing another blood test and they basically said no they don't want to do it until after the diet which makes no sense to me either. Maybe I'll just pay for it myself.

      As Scott said, if you go on a gluten free diet ahead of testing you can expect the test results to be negative. If you remove gluten from your diet, the inflammation in the lining of the small bowel will subside, antibody levels (what the blood tests are checking for) will drop and the mucosal lining will experience healing such that a biopsy will be normal. So, it makes no sense to me to start the gluten free diet now unless your doctor wants to see if the weak positive disappears in response to a gluten free diet. Your Marsh 1 score indicates little to no damage has been experienced in the lining of the small bowel to this point. Two slices of bread daily might not be sufficient to produce unequivocal test results. Recently revised "gluten challenge" guidelines are recommending at least 10 g of gluten daily (about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least 2 weeks leading up to the day of testing, whether it be the blood antibody testing or the biopsy. It makes more sense to me for you to increase your gluten intake for several weeks and get retested. It is not likely that doing so for that limited amount of time will produce any serious health consequences but may give you unequivocable test results and more clear direction. If you decide to do this, make sure that in addition to the tTG-IGA test, you request a "total IGA" test order to check for IGA deficiency. If you are IGA deficient, your tTG-IGA score will be artificially low. Those are, at the very minimum, the two tests that should always be ordered when a blood draw is done check for celiac antibodies. There are other tests which can be ordered as well that check for evidence in the IGG immunes response spectrum. Here is an overview:
