Grilled Meat

Does anyone know what is in the grill baste that is used in restaurants. I am not talking about marinated meat that could have soy sauce. Just seasoned and grilled. Sometimes I order a plain grilled chicken or steak and get very sick. I'd like to be able to ask the waitstaff what to ask the kitchen specifically, since they don't always understand what "gluten free" means.

I read on this forum once that some restauants spray Baker's Joy on their steaks to keep them from sticking and that contains gluten.

Don't know about most restaurants, but Carabba's has a gluten free menu and you have to oder WITHOUT the grill baste.

A good rule of thumb is "when in doubt, don't". When restaurants just don't get it, that's when you order a salad without dressing/croutons and drag out your own dressing out of your purse/pocket.

Another possibility is the seasoning that a restaurant may use. I've seen restaurant kitchens where the chefs make their own seasonings (very well gluten free ones at that) but they are using their fingers to sprinkle on the seasonings after just assembling a hamburger with bun. Its best to say no seasonings and carry your own. You can eat out but always ask questions and as Lisa says "when in doubt do without". I've snuck in my own sandwhiches etc. to many restaurants just incase (i carry a VERY large purse ;) ) I don't feel comfortable. The servers rarely notice since I get a salad with dressing on the side and no croutons, plus I usually order a very nice glass of wine so they are usually fine with me.

      PS - Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS. You mentioned that your bowel movements may be a bit more regular, so this could be another indication of NCGS.

      You did not mention your age, but depending on how old you are it makes a big difference on how important it is to get a flu vaccine.

      Yes no gluten in my diet. I get so sick that I have to go to the ER for fluids and medicine. I was diagnosed in 2017 but was told I probably have had it my whole life. (Went to Mayo in 2019 to confirm diagnoses and address all other autommune issues ect.) Also intolerance to sugar alcohols and chicory root. Try to eat clean and stay away from processes foods...

      Dawn, are you diligent with the gluten free diet? When were you diagnosed with celiac disease?

      Your situation is not straightforward, so it’s understandable why you’re seeking clarity. Your elevated thyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPOs) and thyroglobulin levels suggest autoimmune thyroid involvement, possibly Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, even though your thyroid function currently appears normal. The link between autoimmune thyroid disease and celiac disease is well-documented, but your celiac panel results are inconclusive, with only the deamidated gliadin IgA elevated. As you doctor correctly mentioned, this could indicate non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) rather than celiac disease, especially since you lack classic GI symptoms. However, the absence of improvement after four months gluten-free is notable. While some non-GI symptoms like fatigue and brain fog can take longer to resolve, the lack of progress raises questions about whether gluten is the primary driver of your symptoms. It might be worth revisiting the possibility of a biopsy (after a gluten challenge) to rule out celiac definitively, or exploring other potential contributors, such as nutrient deficiencies, other autoimmune conditions, or even dysautonomia, given your temperature regulation and energy issues. Have you had your thyroid levels retested since going gluten-free? If not, I would do that before resuming a regular gluten diet. It would be interesting to see if there has been any normalization in those levels while on a gluten-free diet.
