Hi there,

I'm traveling to Exuma which is a small island south of Nassau. Does anyone know about the style of cooking and whether they use corn and rice rather than flour for beading fries foods? Any ideas about the types of foods the restaurants will have available? Thank you in advance!

Hi Allie - did you end up going to Exuma last year? I'm looking at planning a family vacation there and was curious if you found gluten free options. Thanks so much!

For future travelers, I went to Exuma and EVERYTHING is fried.  It is really hard to eat out there without getting a salad every time.  To be honest there isn't a whole lot of fruit on the island either.  I brought my own gluten-free bread, oatmeal and pasta and I'm really glad I did.  Went to one restaurant and ordered the lobster thinking there is no way that would be bad, but it came breaded and deep fried.  The island itself is spectacular, but eating there gluten free is extremely difficult.  Especially because the one thing everyone says you have to try there is deep fried conch.  Loved the island, but pack an extra suitcase for your own food.

      Testing

      Yes, if you had symptoms when eating gluten ruling out celiac disease won't necessarily mean you'll be able to eat gluten again, although it might mean that you may be able to be less strict with your gluten-free diet.

      Have you considered the possibility that you might have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) rather than celiac disease? They share many of the same symptoms, the difference being that NCGS does not damage the lining of the small bowel. It is 10x more common than celiac disease. There is no test yet available for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. In view of your genetic profile, I would give it consideration.

      Help with results

      By mariamccl · Posted

      Hi, 25f who recently had a endoscopy procedure to diagnose celiac disease. Mum and uncle are both diagnosed celiacs. I've had symptoms over the past year - headaches that have become debilitating and frequent, feeling faint and nauseous with high heart rate, diarrhea and constipation, anemia, and recently my periods have become almost non existent. My doctor sent me a letter yesterday saying this " biopsies from the duodenum show some very mild features that could be in keeping with celiac disease but also could be due to other causes". I am waiting on an appointment to see him in the clinic to discuss this but in the meantime I wanted to check if anyone else has experienced this? I was eating plenty of gluten before my camera test and for the past 2 weeks have completely cut it out of my diet and I'm seeing changes in my bowel movements for the first time in my life! Headaches, dizziness etc are still there but maybe it takes longer for them to go away? Any help would be so appreciated -  I feel so lost in this whole process!!

      Did your symptoms improve after going on a gluten-free diet?
