Casey's

So I had lunch out with a friend today...always a gamble, I know. I decided to call Casey's after hearing on another site that they are gluten-friendly.

Big.

Fat.

Lie.

I called them and spoke to a hostess who told me they are able/willing to accommodate for gluten-free diets, and have "lots of options" to choose from. Yeah...

I got the the restaurant and asked to see the menu, and asked the server to point out the gluten-free options. She said "gluten-free options? I don't know about that." Ugh. She got the manager, and the manager came over to the table with the allergy list. Based on the list, there were exactly 5 items on the menu listed as "wheat/gluten-free." 1 item was on the children's menu, 1 was seafood, 1 was dessert, so I had a choice between a cobb salad and the nachos. I had the cobb salad.

After lunch I met some other friends at a local coffee shop for coffee and a chat. About 30-45 minutes later, I had a full-on sinus migraine, bloating, and was running to the bathroom with D.

I called Casey's and spoke to the manager, who assured there's "no chance" of any cc, but I doubt it. That lunch was the first meal I'd eaten today, so it wasn't anything else I'd eaten beforehand. At the coffee shop later I had vanilla ice cream, but I seriously doubt it was the ice cream as I have plain ice cream all the time without issue.

Long and ranty, I know ... being glutened brings out the grump in me. Ugh.

      Can food allergies like milk and soy flatten villi?

      By Matt13 · Posted

      Hi Scott and Knitty! Thanks for the answers! You are very kind! Let put it this way: 1.I am now confirmed seronegative celiac. My Last push gastroscopy concluded that there is no atrophy and everything is ok in that regard. 2. From diagnostics perspective so far i have done multiple intestinal TUS, Mr Enterography, Multiple wide spectrum blood tests, Normal gastroscopy, Push gastroscopy(duodenum and jejunum)., Multiple X rays,Swallow test barium....i mean the whole package... 3. from doctors perspective i am in touch with 2-3 gastroenterologist, immunology and rheumatology doctor and general physician...and with psychiatric doctor. My problem is that i am still feeling like "s$#&" EVERY DAY even now when i am on GFD and i am still losing weight with very little energy through day. When i lay down, i do not feel pain or discomfort but during the day i feel bloated, intermitten pain in abdomen(usually upper QD and around belly), discomfort throught whole abdomen and other parts of body and with very little energy. I am trying my  best to be 100 % GFD but i am on very light mediterian food diet. I am currently on gfd  13 months (with small mistakes) Currently i am on ppi 20mg in the morning, now drinking ensure plus because of muscle and weight loss. My diagnose procedure is now lasting almost 3 years and since then i have lost 13-15kg. Please but please i am currently losing my mind...is there anybody who is going through this kind of hell like me? What more can i do? Thanks in advance, Kind regards, Matt

      Food Tasting Salty

      I appreciate the input and that would make sense to irritation/mouth sores. I'm more asking directly to the taste of the food being too salty as opposed to being irritated by salt.

      I doubt very much that it contains any gluten. It works by producing an artificial blood clot, mixing 2 or more proteins found in the natural blood clotting cascade. These are refined from human blood donations. It comes in 2 vials that are mixed immediately before use and clot quickly.

      Food Tasting Salty

      By nanny marley · Posted

      This literally happened to me today I had gluten after not eating it for over 6 months doing the elimination diet has I'm trying to get help with a diagnosis I ate gluten a few days ago and then stopped  because I went for my blood test today unfortunately it's not enough has I've now learned from some helpful people on this forum it has to be a lot longer before a test but my food today was really salty I just thout it was me because I'd deviated off my diet but I definitely tasted my  food  salty so that's a very intriguing investigation for me now thankyou for the post
