Calling All Londoners

My husband and I will be in London in a few weeks and wondererd if any people with Celiac in the city have an interest to meet for either coffee or a gluten free meal. We will be staying in South Kensington area but hanging out a lot in the West End district. Please pm me for details on dates and such if there are any takers. I heard Starbuck's in London even has gluten-free pastries. What I treat that will be.

My family and I are taking a trip to London at the end of April and also staying in Kensington. I have heard that the restaurants in central London are accomadating for Celiacs and there are some with gluten-free options. After living in France for the past six months I am looking forward to going to a restaurant where the hostess will better understand my dietary needs.

I have not been yet, but I understand you can call ahead for gluten-free tea at the Savoy (it is apparently expensive, as I would expect, but very, very good, and fun). I will be in London and Paris later this summer. I have travelled to both previously and done fine with gluten-free, even in pubs. There are wonderful Thai and Indian restaurants in London and those were my favorites. Enjoy your trip.

Kim.

      @KRipple, thank you for the lab results from your husband's celiac disease blood antibody testing. The lab result you share would seem to be the tTG-IGA (Tissue Transglutaminase IGA) and the test result is in excess of 10x normal. This is significant as there is an increasing tendency for physicians to grant a celiac disease diagnosis on the basis of antibody testing alone when the scores on that particular test exceed 10x normal. This trend started in the UK during the COVID pandemic when there was tremendous pressure on the medical system over there and it has spread to the USA. The tTG-IGA is the centerpiece of celiac disease blood antibody testing. All this to say that some doctors would...

      Thank you so much! And sorry for not responding sooner. I've been scouring the hospital records and can find nothing other than the following results (no lab info provided): Component Transglutaminase IgA   Normal Range: 0 - 15.0 U/mL >250.0 U/mL High   We live in Olympia, WA and I will be calling University of Washington Hospital - Roosevelt in Seattle first thing tomorrow. They seem to be the most knowledgeable about complex endocrine issues like APS 2 (and perhaps the dynamics of how APS 2 and Celiacs can affect each other). His diarrhea has not abated even without eating gluten, but that could be a presentation of either Celiac's or Addison's. So complicated. We don't have a date...

      Hi Phosphone, did you ever figure out what elevated your DGP?  I am in the same boat.

      Scott makes a good point about the prednisone. It has a general suppressing effect on the immune system. Don't misunderstand me. In view of your husband's several autoimmune afflictions, it would seem to be an appropriate medication therapy but it will likely invalidate endoscopy/biopsy test results for celiac disease.
