Just got home from dinner on the General Jackson Dinner Cruise and Show Boat! WOW!!

INFO Open Original Shared Link

We called a few days and left a message about gluten-free stuff. The Chef called back, personaly! And he siad "I am familure with gluten free, we will be able to take care of you just let you server know."

Well they werent kidding! I told the server and he ALSO WAS FAMILURE WITH gluten-free EATING! And they had a spereate meal for me with key items missing, and get this when they brough out the Cheesecake deserts, they brought me a fresh fruit platter! Was great. I had steak and chicken and they sub'd in a baked potateo insted of the side everyone else got, and a pile of steamed veggeis too. Could not finish all they gave me. I had expected to go home hungry.

If your visiting and looking for a place to go, I highly recomend it! We when with a church group (resvered the whole boat), so the price for us was $25/person, but I think the full price is closer to $50 dunno. But its a 3 hour cruis with live entertianmen and all that. Check it out at the link above. :D

OH darn I was in Nashville a few months ago and didn't know about this but I did have no problems finding safe places to eat there, so it was a good trip. I'll check it out when I go next year, thanks for the info!

I must say I had never considered them a possiblity before, and if not for this specail church even probably never would have gone. Trapped on a boat for 3 hours, with nothing to eat did not sound like a plan! heheh

Now though , everyhing is different. I feel fine today so chef must have done it right. :D

Vincent--So happy to hear of your great evening! I just love Nashville. When we lived in GA, we would visit there at least once a year. We spent Christmas at the Opryland Hotel a few times, also. Such a beautiful place--I want to get back there again, but it's harder living in NJ.

      Feeling frustrated after normal biopsy

      My journey started over 11 years ago. I know this because I recently went to set up an account here and discovered I had set one up 11 years ago, when I first suspected celiac. Also of note, it began in the US and continued in the UK, so I’ve experienced both countries inability to figure out what is wrong with me. So, 11 years ago I had major stomach p...

      I’m so confused…

      Thank you. I already cut out dairy and eggs because I found out I was having a problem with them. To be honest I’m just getting worn out 😂

      Can food allergies like milk and soy flatten villi?

      Hi Kitty, thank you for your e mail, I have seen a nutritionist who seemed to be happy with the food diary I had been keeping and nothing was mentioned about extra vitamins, and I’m still using milk etc . The steroids seem to be working and everything is functioning as it should however, the course of tablets finish at the end of February and I...

      Being a burden to family/friends

      It might be understandable to say "friends or family weeded me or you out of their lives". Some people are fearful of getting out of their comfortable known lives and having to make changes to accommodate another. If they are too uncomfortable to walk a mile with me, I shake the dust off my feet and journey on. They're just not ready to learn that lesson...

      You might also be sensitive to other things while you are healing. Dairy, for example. It won't harm you from a celiac standpoint but is inflammatory and could be bothering you. Have you been keeping a food & symptom journal? Might be worth it for a week to see if you notice something you are eating prior to the times you feel your worst. I hope you start...

      Feeling frustrated after normal biopsy

      By TanyaB · Posted

      My journey started over 11 years ago. I know this because I recently went to set up an account here and discovered I had set one up 11 years ago, when I first suspected celiac.  Also of note, it began in the US and continued in the UK, so I’ve experienced both countries inability to figure out what is wrong with me.   So, 11 years ago I had major stomach pain, gas, bloating, nerve pain in hands and feet (clear MRI), anxiety, depression, migraines, and this weird gnawing pain in my stomach. PCP said IBS and sent me on my merry way. After chatting with friends, and at their suggestion, I gave up gluten and dairy (actually did a complete elimination diet) with fantastic effects. After I month I reintroduced and was in agony so went back to the PCP. She thought I might be celiac so sent me for full allergy testing and a celiac test. No idea which. This was I’m 2014/2015.  It came back negative. But I’d been eating gluten for three days at that point and had not been told I needed to be eating gluten for the test.  Was told it was IBS. Kept eating gluten.   2018 - by now the gnawing pain was constant.  Figured it might be an ulcer.  Other “IBS” pain and nerve pain. Was finally referred to gastroenterologist who did an endoscopy and biopsies and found chronic gastritis and H.Pylori but no evidence of celiac.  Had a bucketload of antibiotics and the H.Pylori went away (confirmed by breath test).  Alas the pain didn’t.  Figured I didn’t have celiac but the gastritis remained despite clearing up the infection.  Gave up gluten anyway because I felt better off it.  2019 / 2020 - moved to UK, grandmother died, Covid hit. With all this stress I started eating all the gluten  like constantly  everything I missed.  Stomach hurt, but of course it did - I was eating like crap.  Not just gluten, just bad food generally    2023 demanded h.pylori test because I’m convinced if I had it before I might have it again and maybe that’s why I’m in more pain than ever. Fecal test, came back negative.  put on PPIs 2024 - went to the dr because of severe gas pains. They were so bad nothing helped and they were keeping me away at night.  All my previous symptoms are worse than ever and now had stabbing ovary pain. I thought maybe now it’s all due to perimenopause.  Dr doesn’t even examine me.  Just tells me it’s IBS and tells me we will run blood test to rule out other things, just to be safe. Well, my IgA-tTG came back positive (67 0-20 is normal). They ran an EMA test and that too was positive. I finally felt I was getting somewhere. I went to the dr and she told me to quit eating gluten. I said I wanted an endoscopy before I stop eating gluten because that’s what the medical guidelines recommend. She wasn’t too happy about it but referred me to get an endoscopy.  I had one and the took 5 samples from the duodenum (4xD2 and 1 x D1 - whatever that means). Well, results are in and my biopsy was normal.  I am just at a loss now.  I felt so happy to finally have an answer, but now am frustrated.  I know I feel better gluten free and I tend to continue that way, but to have the positive blood tests then receive a negative biopsy (I was eating fully gluten prior to this for years) has just left me feeling …. I don’t know.  Lost!   Thanks for reading this.

      Hi Kitty, thank you for your e mail,  I have seen a nutritionist who seemed to be happy with the food diary I had been keeping and nothing was mentioned about extra vitamins, and I’m still using milk etc . The steroids seem to be working and everything is functioning as it should however,  the course of tablets finish at the end of February and I have an appointment with the consultant early April probably followed by another endoscopy, as far as I’m aware I have not been tested for vitamin B and will definitely discuss it with the doctor on my next visit.
