Looking for advice on restaurants here in St. John's that are familiar/helpful with meals for celiacs. I have Swiss Chalet's gluten-free menu & have heard that The Keg was a good choice. Also heard mention that Zapatta's, India Gate, Magnum & Steins, Bianca's & Cabot Club were possibilities but nothing definite. Any townies out there with experience here in St. John's? I had a positive blood test a few months ago & after a few days to a week gluten-free many symtoms I had lived with for years just vanished (very dry skin, cold feet at night, thick nasal phlegm-esp at night, stinky BM's, tiredness etc). I never really felt sick as such but I feel so much better now. The diet is more a nuisance than anything, especially with restaurants & travel. I HATE drawing attention to myself at restaurants by trying to explain my problem. But I do eat MUCH better now & feel healthier just because of that. As well, i have heard mention of a card that is avaiable somewhere than can be presented at restaurants explaining the disease & precautions that need to be taken by the cook. Where can I get those?

Swiss Chalet is great place for celiacs. I always eat there when I travel. But it is always annoying knowing there is a change of getting sick. Even at the most safe places. There will always be mistakes.

      I think most of us, when we first got our diagnosis, imagined that going gluten free would be the magic the bullet that would restore us to perfect health. We soon find out that it usually isn't quite that simple and that celiac disease has long fingers.

      Thanks! I still have much to learn, I'd hoped going gluten-free would be a magic bullet and I'm learning my system is still very sensitive which is overwhelming and discouraging at times. Thanks for the yogurt tip! There is comfort in knowing that this is common during early healing and I'm not alone!

      Thanks so much for the response. Are you usually able to pinpoint a trigger when you get the pain again? What I didn’t share in my earlier post is that I also usually eat out on weekends (though I share celiacs/needs to be gluten-free) and I’ve also been under a lot of stress lately in my personal life. While I’m speculating that it’s the wine it could certainly be a number of things. Do you ever notice the pain more when you are stressed? Learning so much about the brain/gut connection and celiacs. Thanks, there is comfort in hearing others have experienced similar symptoms.

      This was my main symptom. I still get it from time to time. Also feels like a burning pain on the upper abdomen. I think the wine could definitely cause the pain to be worse. There are do many things I still can't eat.

      Yes and this is true of gluten free ready made, processed and prepackaged foods in general. In particular, hard to digest polysaccharides are commonly used in these products that give many celiacs issues and I personally don't handle some emulsifiers well. IMO, reactions to these ingredients are often mistaken for a gluten reaction.
