Boston Market

We have eaten there 3 times since diagnosed and two times no problems at all and my son is thrilled- it is a favorite even before being dx w/ celiac disease. Then we went to a different location wed. eve- thurs he had a horrible headache followed by throwing up. We are not sure if it was Boston Market or something else- we ate at my sister's house for lunch that day-supposed safe meal there.

Has anyone had any experience? I read the website listing and the chicken should be safe-no crazy injections, potatoes fine-that is all he ate. Thanks-

mzcippy,

I can't eat at Boston Market. I tried it once and had problems with it. It is the coating and spices they put on the chicken. There are several other resturants that I can't eat at either and I am not very sensitive.

We go there and have had no problems with it. Don't eat the gravy, it has wheat in it. The chicken and mashed potatoes are gluten-free, though there's always the risk of CC anywhere you go. We've been fine so far.

      In general, and I've visited many boutique cheese manufacturing facilities here in Sonoma County, CA, there is no wheat anywhere near them. Dairies generally don't process wheat products, and in cheese making cleanliness is next to godliness--they tend to keep things very clean to the point of sterile so their cheeses won't get contaminated with bacteria that might ruin them.

      Is the blood test required before endoscopy? Can it just go to endoscopy to test. Or would you need to be in gluten diet either way. Can you also be gluten sensitive but not sensitive to cross contamination? Thanks

      Based on the units (g/L) and the normal range having both upper and lower limits, I would think this result is total IgA, not the celiac-specific tissue transglutaminase IgA.  Is there another result for that?

      Agree with everything your wrote. Just to clarify my earlier comment, I was specifically focusing on cross-contamination risk, as opposed to identified, obfuscated, or occult ingredients. I've noticed that Costco does like many other manufacturers and errs on the side of caution by putting the major allergen exposure label on products that are actually safe. My first bump into this was buying their Kirkland quinoa online, where the website says it is gluten free but the package says it was/might have been/ made in a facility that processes wheat. They were able to tell me that the package I bought was certainly safe, but they explicitly stated that that could change at any time (so don't count on their answer today being relevant for next month's purchase).

      The reality is, returning to gluten consumption makes some people so ill that they cannot complete the gluten challenge. There is no shame in that. Nonetheless, they must live with the ambiguity of not knowing whether they have celiac disease or NCGS. Another reality is that at the end of the day, both conditions require complete abstinence from gluten and other "cross reactive" foods. One thing you can do is to get genetically tested to see if you have one or both of  the genes that have been linked to the development of celiac disease. This doesn't require a gluten challenge. However, the gene test cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease since 40% of the general population have one or both of the genes but only 1% of the general population ever develops celiac disease. But it can be used to rule out celiac disease. If you don't have either gene but you are certain that gluten causes distress then you know you have NCGS. And, to answer your previous question about the gluten challenge causing further damage to the SB villous lining, the answer is "yes" if you have celiac disease. However, a few more weeks of damage on top of months/years of existing damage is not likely to do irreparable harm.
