I ate at The Winery yesterday, it's on Crown Street in Surry Hills in Sydney. It was a group event and we had a fixed menu. I called the restaurant in advance and so did the person who organised it and the staff were fantastic. The server came over to speak with me and went through the options I could have. From the shared platters to start there was only one item I couldn't have and they served that on a different plate. I had a choice of two of three mains; they were already gluten free by ingredient. They made me a special desert. It was all delicious, the server was super knowledgable about what I could and couldn't have, I wasn't constantly reminding them and by the way they served things I could take my servings first and not worry about cross contamination (I didn't have seconds of the shared platters though as by then there was the risk of my friends contaminating me).

The meal was absolutely safe, I didn't have a single glutening symptom. I thought they were fantastic and I'll be writing to the manager/owner to say so. I've eaten out a bunch of times and mostly been fine, but even places like PF Changs and Outback which have a dedicated menu worry me a little when a different person brings the dishes than took the order - I feel like I have to be super aware (like at outback last week they tried to give my gluten free house salad to my dad before I snatched it back. How hard is it to make a note on the order that the gluten-free meal belonged to the female adult customer? At the Winery I was one of about 16 people and all the servers all knew who the gluten free person was.

I LOVE Sydney! I felt so safe there when I was visiting my daughter....and I'm planning another visit in November. I wish the restaurants in the U.S. could take a lesson from the restaurants there...

      Eye irritation 2.5 months into gluten free diet

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I didn't have the issue until ~25 years after I went gluten-free. It's possible that our dry eye issues are not related to celiac disease...difficult to know for sure.

      Can food allergies like milk and soy flatten villi?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Ok, sorry...do you eat oats? Around 10% of celiacs react to oats, even certified gluten-free oats. You may want to cut out oats and dairy/casein for a while to see if this helps.  Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful:   Here is some more info on seronegative celiacs.  You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not very common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/

      Eye irritation 2.5 months into gluten free diet

      By aperlo34 · Posted

      I have been using the eye drops every hour and at night the gel drops as well as the heating mask. I have been traveling and kind of slowed on this routine, but it seems to be back a bit more now that I'm back at work (on the computer).  It seems strange to me that I would start getting this after a couple of months into the gluten free diet. Between this, the muscle twitches, the anxiety... I am quite overwhelmed. I can't find much on people whose eyes start getting dry AFTER gluten free.

      I found a lot of stuff on Amazon when I searched for, "Gluten free Christmas cookies".
