Oh, someone will be able to use it. I know that they have a couple of gluten-free items, but a) ew, I don't like my choices and B) I don't trust them.

Interesting, that smiley face was supposed to be a 'b' with a close parenthesis ')'. Whatever.

Yeah, they do. I've tried and I found the choices to be very bland and uninteresting. Plus, I was not impressed by the competency of their staff (I really, really hate it when I explain my needs to the waitress and she says "Oh. Ok, well would you like to start off with some breadsticks?")

I know how you feel ... my sister gave me a gift card to Buca di Beppo for Christmas, the card had a picture of a plate of spaghetti on it ... at least your realtor had her thoughts in the right place! <_< I know there's stuff at Buca, but it's the trust thing ... too many crumbs in the kitchen! Sounds like a good Christmas/birthday/anniversary gift for someone! I'd say to re-gift, then you at least get some kind of benefit from it! You can spend the $40 you would have spent on the gift on yourself! :D

Yes, it was nice of her to send it. I actually do appreciate the thought, I just wish it were a different restaurant. Oh well. Hey, maybe we can use it to bribe our friends into helping us move.

Hey there's an idea. Nothing wrong with a little bribery. It was a nice thing for her to do but I much preferred what our realator did when we bought my house. She gave us a pen and watercolor painting of the house done by a local artist.

Bummer :( I know, it reminds of you of all that beautiful gluten food, but, thought that matters :)

      Vaccines

      I did some research and found out that vaccines put preservatives, sugar alcohols and metals in them. Which I have a intolerance too. I was supposed to do testing to find out metal's I was allergic to because I can't wear jewelry of any kind. Mayo felt I had other allergies also.

      Mayo is great and yes I had the same experience. They take you seriously and they check everything. I to wish other Dr's cared that much. I sure hope it's not refractory celiac also.

      Vaccines

      When I went to the Mayo Clinic back in 21' it was pretty amazing. The doctor sat and went over everything with me for a couple hours. I finally had to ask him if he had other patient to see. He said that not until he was done with me. I went back to my hotel room that day after some blood work and then got an itinerary of tests to be done over the next 5...

      For individuals who have experienced negative reactions to the flu vaccine, there are alternative formulations that may reduce the risk of allergic responses. Traditional flu vaccines are typically produced using egg-based methods, which can pose issues for those with egg allergies. However, there are now several egg-free options available, such as cell-based and recombinant flu vaccines. Recombinant Vaccines (e.g., Flublok Quadrivalent): These are produced without the use of eggs and are grown in insect cells, making them a suitable option for individuals with egg allergies. Cell-Based Vaccines (e.g., Flucelvax Quadrivalent): These vaccines are also egg-free and are produced using mammalian cell cultures, which can be a safer alternative for those with egg allergies. Other Considerations: If you have had a reaction to a specific component of the flu vaccine (e.g., gelatin, preservatives, or antibiotics), discussing your medical history with a healthcare provider is crucial. They can help identify vaccines that exclude these ingredients. It's important to consult with an allergist or healthcare provider to determine the safest option based on your specific allergies and medical history. They can also provide guidance on pre-vaccination testing or desensitization protocols if necessary. Also, at @trents mentioned, could you be getting hidden gluten in your diet? Do you eat in restaurants? If so, this could be why you still have high gluten antibodies.

He said that not until he was done with me. I went back to my hotel room that day after some blood work and then got an itinerary of tests to be done over the next 5 days. It was unbelievable. I had what would've been 4 years of testing back home done in 5 days. I went home at the end of 5 days and got my results a week later on a zoom call. EPI and rapid gastric emptying syndrome. I do have celiac disease but that wasn't the cause of my continued symptoms. Those people up there are great. Wouldn't that be amazing if all medical care was like that?  That's weird that the antibodies are that high. Hopefully it's not refractory celiac disease. Good luck.
