i have had great luck with pf changs. i went there this weekend and the manager came out and said they double check everything about 3 times to me :)

but i do always walk away from a restuarant and go "was it really gluten-free?" i guess we have to go for it and trust. it would only take one person who doesn't care to mess up the order.

i would probably hardly ever eat out, but i feel an unspoken pressure from my husband, and feel like i don't want to be thought of as a "stick-in-the-mud" about yet another thing...

oops-hit the wrong button....

...but i will say i certainly don't enjoy eating out as i did before. in the back of my mind i dread it when it happens. but i do agree with the earlier post that we should try and go out and make ourselves visible, otherwise, the food industry would feel even less pressure to evolve to our needs :rolleyes:

I know this is going to make me unpopular, but you guys need to stop being so damn shy. Restaurant staff are paid to wait on you. They are paid to answer questions, and help you decide on a meal that won't make you sick.

Better more upscale places actually train their staff on various food allergies and which products to avoid.

If the staff refuses to help or seems somewhat less than knowledgeable then LEAVE!!

      Test result confusion high Immunoglobin A

      I haven’t been diagnosed formally. My doctor always called it eczema but over the years I have figured out it isn’t.  I’ll do some research on iodine. Thanks for that info.

      I would not think abstaining from commercially processed food would have any effect on dermatitis herpetiformis. What can help with dermatitis herpetiformis is reducing iodine in your diet and, of course, you must completely abstain from gluten.  Many who suffer from dermatitis herpetiformis cannot find relief until they get on a med called Dapsone. It seems to be pretty effective but stresses the liver. So, anyone taking it must have their liver enzymes monitored regularly. By the way, celiac disease is the only know cause for dermatitis herpetiformis. Has your rash been officially diagnosed as dermatitis herpetiformis? It can be a challenge to find a dermatologist who knows how to properly biopsy dermatitis herpetiformis when seeking a diagnosis.

      I was eating gluten at the time it was done. I do not eat commercially processed food and we make it all from scratch so I wonder if that might cause an issue.

      When you had the blood draw done for the antibody testing, had you already been practicing a gluten free diet? If so, that would also sabotage the results of the tTG-IGA.

      The rash on my hands is the little blisters or  dermatitisherpetiformi you are referencing. They itch like crazy and no doctor has ever been able to get them to go away. When I remove gluten from my diet they go away. I decided to do the test for that reason. It’s really my only symptom but my sister has celiac disease and the same hand rash. her doctor recommended I get tested.
