Question For Jenvan

We will be eating a lucious prime rib dinner at the end of the month - it is a benefit auction for our Catholic School here in Montana. Anyway, we got the list of what will be served and it says buttered red potatoes and some kind of buttered vegetable mix along with the prime rib. She is staying away from dairy but do you think this will really hurt her? I understand she may get constipated from it, but other than that do you think it will hurt her. She will take her lactaid tablets with her. It would be so hard to go and not eat, and to pay the money for the meal and not eat. We are not worried about the meat, just the buttered items. They also serve cheesecake for dessert, but that she can skip with no problem. What would you do in this situation?

hey friend!! couple of thoughts on the situation. if it was me i would first see if i could call the facilities or caterer holding the banquet and verify the prime rib is safe (ck on marinades, how it is cooked) and then see if i could get plain, steamed veggies instead of the other food. if they are unwilling to help, then i would probably bring some of my own food or a tv dinner and ask them to heat it up for me. the question is--what would happen if bernadette did eat some dairy (if the meal is in fact gluten-free)? well, perhaps nothing...or maybe severe constipation again for several weeks. whether its 'hurting' her, that's a hard question to answer. severe constipation certainly isn't good for the body...as for what else dairy may be doing to her system...i honestly can't be sure. dairy reactions can vary from gas, GI distress to villous atrophy (as a few studies have found). and unfortunately lactaid can only help those with lactose intolerance..symptoms of gassiness etc...not with the other issues dairy can cause. for myself, one serving of dairy will start to reak havoc within a day and the effect can last for days. i wouldn't take a chance. i remember how miserable she was for so long...i wouldn't want her to go back to that even for a short period of time! ck with caterers and see what they say. i was in a wedding a few months ago and i brought a tv dinner for the banquet hall to warm up for me...they were happy to do it. let me know what you find and good luck! i know you will help her be safe... pls tell her i said hi! ps--if its going to be a longer evening, i might bring some cookies for my own dessert too :)

Agreed

Don't assume that Prime Rib is safe. -- Check the marinades and spices. Also, the "Au Jus" can have gluten in it if it is "instant" -- I got sick from that once.

Skip the veggies -- so not worth it...why get constipated over veggies???

      Increasing symptoms after going gluten free

      By cristiana · Posted

      I did suffer with gastric symptoms before diagnosis, but got all sorts of weird and wacky symptoms after going gluten free.   Things got much better once my antibodies fell to normal levels, but it took years (please don't panic, many people's go to normal levels relatively quickly when following a gluten-free diet). Causes of the symptoms you mention that I also experienced were iron supplements, a temporary dairy intolerance (this is common in coeliacs and should pass when your gut heals properly), and eating oats, as mentioned above.  Other symptoms I got were musculoskeletal pain after diagnosis, but again, once my coeliac blood tests were normal, I had no more pain. I did notice patterns emerging in foods that I reacted to and learned to steer clear of them, then gradually reintroduced them when my gut healed, such as soya, pure oats and dairy products.    You might like to keep a food diary.

      Conflicting results

      By Jy11 · Posted

      Well the conflicting results continue as the biopsy has come back negative. 😵‍💫 Waiting to discuss further but I really don’t know what to think now? Eight biopsy’s were taken from duodenum which surely should be sufficient if it was coeliac?

      Increasing symptoms after going gluten free

      By Pasballard · Posted

      I have Celiacs and want you to be aware of the amount of weight you can potentially put on if you rely on gluten free snacks, bread etc.,they  are high in carbs.  I put on 25 lbs in a short amount of time.  Whole Foods are the best way to go but I struggle with this.  The cost of gluten free is also a problem.  I love black licorice but most have gluten.  My favorite chili seasoning as well.  The list is endless.  I take  Advil liquid gels and had no idea until I read this.  I hope you do better than I have done.  I feel I am destined to suffer daily no matter what.  My aunt didn’t take care of herself and died from complications.  I hope you can get on a good routine.

      Colonoscopy with large area of inflammation

      Thank you, I appreciate the response. I'm going to begin the gluten free diet and wait for the biopsy results. I feel fairly certain that it's the right thing for my well being. I will keep you posted.

      Vaccines

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The flu vaccine is indeed not 100% effective every year, as its effectiveness varies depending on how well the vaccine strains match the circulating flu viruses. However, even in years when the match is less than perfect, the flu vaccine still provides significant benefits. Studies consistently show that vaccinated individuals who contract the flu often experience milder symptoms, a lower risk of complications, and a reduced likelihood of hospitalization or death compared to those who are unvaccinated. For high-risk groups, such as the elderly, young children, and individuals with chronic health conditions, the flu vaccine remains a critical tool for reducing severe outcomes. Regarding the mention of risks associated with vaccines, it’s important to note that the flu vaccine is generally very safe for most people. Serious side effects are extremely rare, and the benefits of vaccination far outweigh the risks for the vast majority of individuals. If someone has specific concerns about vaccine safety due to medical conditions or allergies, they should consult their healthcare provider to discuss their options. As for alternative measures like a D Lamp (ultraviolet light disinfection), while these can be useful for reducing pathogens in the environment, they are not a substitute for vaccination. The flu virus spreads primarily through respiratory droplets, and personal protection measures like hand hygiene, masking, and improving indoor ventilation can complement vaccination but cannot replace its targeted immune protection.
