Yucatan peninsula and buffet advice

This will be my first trip away from home after my diagnosis last year. We are spending 2 weeks in Puerto Aventuras and Cozumel. Most of our vacation will be spent in resorts and I'm hoping for some basic overall advice on avoiding cross contamination. My Spanish is strong enough to convey my concerns in restaurants but the all-inclusive buffets are anxiety provoking! How have you dealt with this? TIA!

By not going.  Or by bringing my own food.

Have you contacted them?  I have heard that a lot of these resorts are doing a good job of gluten-free.  

If you have to eat at buffets, get a chef to show you what is actually gluten-free.  They might get you some fresh from the kitchen . Or you might find there is no gluten .  For example, you might find a nice salad bar and the only gluten is in croutons placed at the end.  Or a taco bar with no gluten at all.

I actually prefer buffets when traveling because you can usually find things that are safe. Consider taking enzymes with you like GliadinX (they are a sponsor here), as they are designed to help with inadvertent cross contamination. Ask questions to the chef and have fun! Merida is great, don’t miss Uxmal or Chitzen Itza!

      Endoscopy

      By Soleihey · Posted

      My TTG was 167 one year ago. Recently had it retested one month ago and it went down to 16. I only recently had an endoscopy done as I was pregnant within the last year. I did not eat gluten prior to this endoscopy as I get very sick. Prior to obtaining the biopsies, the endoscopy said “ diffuse moderately erythematous mucosa to the second part of the duodenum without bleeding.” However, the biopsy came back negative. I assume it’s a false negative as I have also had genetic testing to confirm celiac. However, what would cause the inflammation to the second part of the duodenum and continued positive blood markers if the intestines have healed?

      Thank you for direction.  Eating out is a concern though we rarely do, but I'm prepared now.

      Celiac or not?

      By cristiana · Posted

      Thank you for the update.  So interesting to know how things are changing, when I was diagnosed I had very similar blood results but still had to have the endoscopy.  Glad you know where you stand.  As your father has celiac disease you probably already know a lot about it, but do contact us if we can help further.

      Vaccines

      But isn't it easier to just take a D3 supplement? Is the D light somehow a superior source? Links?
