I was recently diagnosed with Celiac disease a little over a month ago. I am still adjusting to the gluten free diet, but have tried to take a very optimistic outlook on it all. I will be traveling to Montreal in a couple of weeks to visit my boyfriend and would love any help on restaurants that either have gluten free menus or are aware of Celiac disease. My boyfriend has already found where I can purchase my gluten free products, but I am more concerned about eating out. I found some information online, but not a whole lot. He lives in Laval and I would love it if anyone could let me know some great places to eat at in Laval or the surrounding area.

However, if you don't have any ideas for me, I would still love your input on eating out. I have only eaten out a couple times since my diagnosis and it went pretty well. I had curry at a Thai restaurant and sushi where I brought my own soy sauce. They have a wide variety of cusine in Montreal, but I am not sure what places are safer than others. I am positive that there will be more than one night that we will go out with all of his friends to eat, therefore, what would be a safe option?

Congratulations on your optimistic attitude about eating out and joining in with firends. Eating out always poses a risk for Celiacs but I believe it is a risk worth taking to insure you enjoy the full spectrum of life and of relationships. i eat out frequently and rarely have a problem. i would suggest to you that the simpler the better especially in the beginning. Many of the chain restaurants have gluten-free menus...Steak houses are my personal choice becouse the food is easy to prepare simply and is often delicious without fuss..a grilled steak or fish with a baked potatoe , steamed veggie and a great glass of red wine makes a wonderful evening out. Have fun!!

      Oats gluten free?

      Thank you for sharing your perspective. It's true that many grains contain proteins that are technically classified as "glutens" (like zein in corn and orzenin in rice), but it's important to clarify that these proteins are not the same as the gluten found in wheat, barley, and rye, which contains gliadin and glutenin. These specific proteins are the ones...

      Oats gluten free?

      I disagree, Lori. Gluten is a particular protein, not a category of proteins. It is found in wheat, barley and rye. Other cereal grains have proteins that resemble gluten to one degree or another but are not gluten. Gluten is gluten. Avenin is avenin. But yes, it is true, that informally speaking, some have used the term "gluten" to refer to the proteins...

      Oats gluten free?

      In fact ALL grains contain different forms of gluten that go by different names. Corn contains Zein and Rice contains Orzenin. We all need to realize that a very small amount of any of these grains can cause continued systemic inflammation which is not optimal for allowing the body to heal itself.

      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.

      Search “deamidated gliadin Abs, IgG is 26.6/abnormal high” online for articles on your exact question above, and I’m sure this forum has an expert in explaining your test results as well.

      Oats gluten free?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you for sharing your perspective. It's true that many grains contain proteins that are technically classified as "glutens" (like zein in corn and orzenin in rice), but it's important to clarify that these proteins are not the same as the gluten found in wheat, barley, and rye, which contains gliadin and glutenin. These specific proteins are the ones that trigger an autoimmune response in people with celiac disease. For individuals with celiac disease, the primary concern is avoiding gluten from wheat, barley, and rye, as these are the grains scientifically proven to cause damage to the small intestine. While some people with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity may also react to other grains, this is not universal and varies from person to person. For most people with celiac disease, grains like corn and rice are considered safe and are widely recommended as part of a gluten-free diet. That said, you raise an important point about systemic inflammation and individual tolerance. Some people may indeed have sensitivities to other grains or find that eliminating additional grains helps them feel better. However, it’s crucial to differentiate between celiac disease, which requires strict avoidance of wheat, barley, and rye, and other conditions or sensitivities that may involve broader dietary restrictions.

But yes, it is true, that informally speaking, some have used the term "gluten" to refer to the proteins found in these other cereal grains. It's like the term "kleenex" has come to refer to all facial tissues.
