Gluten-Free Menus

I was diagnosed with celiac and several food allergies in April, and am still learning about ingredients, menus, etc. Do you trust special dietary menus? What about the cross-contamination issues? I came very close to ordering salmon at Carmelita's, but could not figure out how they could prepare it safely with so many corn products in the kitchen!

Thanks!

With several allergy's in addition to celiac disease, you probably have to stick to specialty restaurants to be safe. The turnover and training issues at larger establishments will always make cross contact a real possibility.

I have celiac and a severe corn allergy along with a casein allergy and soy. I haven't eaten out in 2 years. It's like playing Russian roulette. It would be very hard if not impossible to find a menu item without corn in some form. Even the bagged lettuces are washed with a citric acid (corn wash) If it's not corn, there is usually soy in it.

Thanks to you both for the information. That pretty much confirms what I was thinking. I also eat mostly at home, and usually have a Muscle Milk as a snack when I am out. I am trying to use a cooler more so I can bring strawberries, etc.

Have you seen King Corn? Wow! I had no idea!

These allergies and celiac have certainly been challenging, but I have also never been on such a healthy diet before!

I guess if there is a bright side to celiac it is that we have the best diets out of everyone we know!

I'm going to watch King Corn this weekend, thanks for that. I saw it show up on my Amazon Prime list recently.

      Hunger, nervous stomach or Hpylori?

      By captaincrab55 · Posted

      Welcome Connie Smitj,  Did you have a follow up test to see if the treatment for H Pylori was successful?  It's possible to catch it again, especially from a partner.  When I contracted it a second time my wife was tested and was positive for two of the bacteria in H Pylori.

      Welcome to the forum, @Connie Smitj! Can you give us a little more history about your celiac journey? How long ago were you diagnosed and how long have your been gluten free? Do you have other symptoms besides quick onset of hunger after eating and gut pain? How long have these symptoms being happening?

      By Connie Smitj · Posted

      I eat a gluten-free diet but hunger pains start within an hour of eating dinner. I  had h pylori infection before I was diagnosed. Occasionally I’ll have bouts of pain. Could it come back or is it just celiac disease?

      Help Understanding Test Results

      By trents · Posted

      Scott, am I missing something? For the TTG-IGA normal is anything 3 or less and his score less than 2. I think that one is in normal range. @Brown42186, if the GI doc is not interested in doing an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining based on the elevated TTG-IGG I would request a repeat on the bloodwork now that you have resumed gluten consumption again.

      Interesting for sure. Have you heard of potential cross reactivity to casein (dairy), corn, milket, iats, rice, and yeast?
