Wonderful Dinner

We were at a Kennel Club Christmas dinner party last night at the Sandman Inn, and it was so wonderful that some of the people sitting near me asked the server why they couldn't have what I was having :D

I called the kitchen manager a couple weeks ago, and went over the diet and ordered my dinner. Then she called me back a few days before the party to see what I could have for dessert.

When we got there she came out to ask if the chef could saute some mushrooms for me in butter and pure garlic. And of course I said yes. Anyway, my dinner came out with a small steak (medium), baked potato, bright green broccoli and a whole bunch of sauted button mushrooms. It was absolutely delicious and I've had not one single blister, or any digestive reactions! :P Oh yes ... a beautiful plate of fresh fruit artistically organized followed.

What a wonderful evening with friends and good food!

The club paid for all the wine $400 worth :lol: That's for 24 of us .. not just me. The weather was perfect with bright stars, sparkly snow on the sides and bare roads. And the hour drive into town was super with all the pretty Christmas lights. I'm just thrilled :D

It's so fun to know that we really can go out with a group and have a great time safely. Things really are getting better! I've seen much more awareness in restaurants in the last couple of years. I think Celiac Disease is starting to penetrate the hospitality business, perhaps even faster than the medical business. :rolleyes:

      Years of testing - no real answers

      By Kiwifruit · Posted

      Hi I just wanted to update you all and let you know that I finally have my diagnosis. 2 weeks ago I had my third gastroscopy and the biopsy confirmed the damage. Thank you for giving me the information I needed to advocate for myself when I a was a feeling so lost!

      Celiac Disease and Mild Chronic Gastritis

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree that the gastritis may go away after you've been on a gluten-free diet for a while. If you are concerned, it might make sense for you to do a follow up biopsy after  a year or so on a gluten-free diet. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      Testing for celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Getting tested for celiac disease is a valid concern, especially given your history of microscopic colitis and the potential risks associated with undiagnosed celiac disease, such as cross-contamination, nutrient malabsorption, and increased cancer risk. Since you’ve been gluten-free for years, reintroducing gluten for the standard celiac blood tests or endoscopy would be challenging, as it requires consuming gluten for several weeks to months, which could worsen your symptoms and disrupt your daily life. Gene testing (HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8) through a lab like EnteroLab could be a helpful first step. While these genes are present in nearly all celiac patients, having them doesn’t confirm celiac disease—it only indicates genetic susceptibility. If you don’t have these genes, celiac disease is highly unlikely, which could provide some peace of mind. However, if you do have the genes, it doesn’t confirm celiac disease but suggests further testing might be warranted if you’re willing to undergo a gluten challenge. Another option is to discuss with your doctor whether a follow-up endoscopy or other non-invasive tests (like stool tests for gluten antibodies) could provide insights without requiring a gluten challenge. While a formal celiac diagnosis can be important for ensuring strict dietary adherence, access to gluten-free options in hospitals, and monitoring for complications, it’s also worth weighing the risks and benefits of reintroducing gluten. If you’re already strictly gluten-free and managing your symptoms well, the urgency of a formal diagnosis may depend on your personal health goals and concerns. Consulting a gastroenterologist familiar with celiac disease and Microscopic Colitis can help guide your decision.
