Where exactly in Middletown, is this stuff just on the regular buffet with no modifications necessary???? I am a big fan of trying ethnic food, and would LOVE to try this when I come home from college!

Glad you had a good experience!

Almost all of the food on the lunch buffet does not need modifications. Of course, the Roti(Indian flat bread) is made from wheat so we don't order any. Also, their Pakoras can be made with wheat or chickpea flour so you need to watch that to. But the other food is fine. We still ask the waiter about each food on the lunch buffet because I am more comfortable double checking. He was accommodating to our requests. Please, the more people with this food intolerance that request wheat-free choices the better. We are also trying to get the cook to offer Dolsas more often. This is a crepe-like bread made from rice flour. We are hoping with enough requests...that this becomes a common gluten-free food choice at this restaurant.

They are located in the large parking lot off of Dolson Ave. in the former Ground Round restaurant.

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

      So the way it should be used is to take it before possible gluten exposure, so right before a meal at a restaurant take 1-2 capsules. Unfortunately taking it 1 hour or more after an exposure is too late.

      Do I really need to get a biopsy?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, and thank you for sharing your detailed experience. It sounds like you’ve been through a lot over the past several months, and it’s understandable to feel frustrated after navigating unclear diagnoses and conflicting advice. Since you’ve found relief with a gluten- and corn-free diet, it might be worth continuing that approach for now, especially given your current commitments to culinary classes. You could consider working with a knowledgeable dietitian or a gastroenterologist who specializes in food intolerances and celiac disease to explore potential intolerances or other conditions without immediately reintroducing gluten. If confirming celiac disease is important for your long-term health management, you could plan for an endoscopy during a less busy period, ensuring you follow the gluten challenge protocol beforehand. In the meantime, prioritizing your well-being and avoiding known triggers seems like a practical step. Always advocate for yourself with doctors, and seek second opinions if needed—your health concerns are valid. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.

      Do I really need to get a biopsy?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Ryangf! If you don't have celiac disease you could still have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). They share many of the same symptoms but NCGS does not damage the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. Some experts feel NCGS can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. NCGS is 10x more common than celiac disease. There is no test for it. A diagnosis of NCGS is arrived at by first ruling out celiac disease by formal testing. At the end of the day the antidote for both is the same, namely, life-long abstinence from gluten. Yes, corn is a common cross-reactor with gluten for some celiacs. So are oats, soy, eggs and dairy.  I have concern with your possible exposure to wheat flour dust during your culinary training. It gets in the air, you breathe it in, it gets trapped in the mucous of your mouth and airway and winds up in your gut. If you decide to go forward wit the "gluten challenge" for formal celiac disease testing, aim for the daily consumption of 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for four weeks leading up to the day of either the blood draw or the endoscopy/biopsy.

      Less than 10 parts per billion issues

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I just want to mention that with gluten we're talking about ppm, or "parts per million," and not parts per billion.  Sticking to whole foods and home cooking is the safest way to go, without necessarily replacing all gluten products you might normally eat with gluten-free ones. If you do eat gluten replacements, for example gluten-free bagels or breads, it's probably best to take @trents advice and seek out certified gluten-free brands.
