went out to a show with my daughter (and shopping lolz!) and i noticed there was a restaurant within walking distance of the venue.  also, the chef is featured on our local news program and i noticed he cooks with simple ingredients <in stainless steel :)  so i called to see if they could accommodate serious gluten-free.  i told them i was not on a fad diet and if i got gluten i would get really sick.  they put the manager on the phone and he assured me everything would be safe.  we got there and were seated and were given 'regular' menus.  i asked the waitress what would be safe (we were each getting a salad and wanted to split a full order of oysters 'rockefeller' )  she brought me out a menu all marked off how to order everything.  coolio.  so we got our salads - absolutely delicious - dressing was house made yum yum yum!  then they bring out the oysters - with a big pile of saltines plopped right in the middle!!  i freaked out!  she apologized all over the place, left the contaminated ones (and encouraged my daughter to eat them - she is not celiac) (BIG DEAL PAY ATTENTION - IF YOU EVER HAVE TO SEND SOMETHING BACK, KEEP THE CONTAMINATED ONE UNTIL THEY BRING YOU NEW SO THEY DON'T JUST PICK THE GLUTEN OFF AND BRING THE SAME DISH BACK)  they brought me a whole new dozen and they were deeee-licious.  and safe.  just about everything on the menu was marked could be made gluten-free.  i highly recommend this place.  and they didn't make me feel all uncomfortable about getting what i needed.  i don't eat out much - hardly at all - but when i do, it's sooo nice not to have to fingerprint even one meal now and again!

 

and ps - the next time the guy was on the news channel, he made shrimp and grits and emphasized that it could very easily be made gluten free.  he must have been paying attention :)

      High blood test numbers - with scales. Any advice?

      By RMJ · Posted

      I’d say celiac is likely.  Please continue to eat plenty of gluten until your endoscopy to be sure that any gluten-related damage can be seen.  Plus it gives you one last chance to enjoy your favorite gluten-containing foods. I hope the endoscopy/biopsies give you a definitive answer.

      I do also have the bloating, gas, constipation, hair loss, an auto-splenectomy that no one can see any reason for and some elevated liver enzymes that don't seem to have a cause, I also have joint pain and some spinal compression fractures that have no explanation.  I am only 42 so haven't had a bone density test yet.  My calcium was normal, but my D was a little low.  They haven't checked for any other vitamin deficiencies yet.  My blood test for an autoimmue disorder was quite high but my Thyroid was all normal.

      Hi, I have been having a lot of back pain and gut issues for 8 weeks or so.  I saw the GI on Monday and my results just came in from the lab.  Some of these number are high and off the little chart from the lab.  I am reading this correctly that I most likely have Celiac, right???  It would explain a lot of things for me.  She does have me scheduled for a colonoscopy and endoscopy in  2 weeks to do the biopsy.  I posted this prior, but forgot to put the range assuming they were all the same.  Someone advised me to repost with the ranges for some insight in the meantime. Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum 140 (normal) - Normal is 87-352 Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgA 256 (High) - Moderate to strong positive at or above 30 Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgG 65 (High) - Moderate to strong positive at or above 30 t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA 31 (High) - Moderate to strong positive above 10 t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgG 10 (High) - Positive is at or above 10

      Colonoscopy with large area of inflammation

      By trents · Posted

      Usually, the blood testing is done first and the endoscopy/biopsy follows for confirmation if there are positive antibody test scores. Historically, the endoscopy with biopsy has been considered to be the gold standard for diagnosing celiac disease. If the tTG-IGA scores are very high (5x-10x normal), some doctors will forego the endoscpoy/biopsy and grant a celiac disease diagnosis without it. So, if you are starting with the endoscopy/biopsy that may be all you need to arrive at a diagnosis. Another possibility would be for the GI doc to do a blood draw for antibody testing on the same day you come in for the endoscopy/biopsy.
