Hi all,

I'm leaving Friday with my family and although the majority of the staff at the resort we're visiting will speak English, I'd like to be able to clearly communicate with the cooking staff so that my 5yo DD will be able to enjoy her trip... Her only intolerance is to gluten.

Can anyone help me to translate the following questions to Spanish? (please don't mix my questions and your answers - I know very very (very :rolleyes: ) little Spanish!!! I'm trusting you!

Oh, and if you can add any questions I'm not thinking of feel free to add your own.

1. My daughter cannot eat anything containing wheat (enriched flour, white flour, wheat flour), rye (malt), barley or oats or she will get very ill. She cannot eat bread, cookies, baked goods, pasta, soya sauce, cereal prepared with these ingredients. Even one small crumb of bread will make her ill for days.

2. Does that have any sauce or seasoning on it that contains any of the above ingredients? Is it marinated during preparation?

3. Can you please clean the grill before making her food?

4. Can I please read the ingredients for this?

5. Can you please use a clean pan before making her food?

Thanking you profusely in advance.

Unfortunatley I can't help with the translation but if you look at Open Original Shared Link they have printable cards that are in various languages.

Good luck and enjoy your holiday.

The book Let's Eat Out has a whole section on different languages. If you can find that in a store you could copy them.

Also, if you can find staff that speak English you could either ask them to communicate with the kitchen or ask them to translate. I went to Mexico and was very surprised at how many people spoke English. I talked to the main chef who spoke perfect English and he communicated with the rest of the kitchen staff. They bent over backwards to make me safe food and I had a great time.

Enjoy your trip.

The travel cards that many of us order are written in Spanish on the back. They're called Triumph Dining Cards. Maybe you can get an express order.

      Anyone else with very high HDL?

      By cookiesyum · Posted

      The easiest way to remember the difference between the cholesterol types is HDL;   H=healthy equals healthy (omega 3, 7, limit 6 & 9 MCFA'S =Medium Chain Fatty Acids. 3= coconut oil, 7= sunflower oil, avocado. The higher your HDL the healthier you are & less likely to experience strokes, clogged arteries Etc. You can even use cold expeller pressed coconut oil on your skin and that is the best kind of coconut oil to eat as well. You want your HDL much higher than your LDL, it will help you stay healthy.   LDL;    L=Lousy. Meat fats, processed fats.  The higher your LDL is the more likely you will have strokes, clogged artery is, heart disease, fatty liver.   Then there's lipids... they are the culprit to be blamed for many heart attacks and things like that they are very small round particles that transport fats. You can have a low overall cholesterol reading and most of it be healthy cholesterol and have a ton of lipids and there's nothing you can do to change the lipid count. High number of lipids is very dangerous.   I'm going on statins is extremely dangerous if you ask me it's just completely my opinion, because I have seen so many of my elderly friends bleed to death internally because of the statins. I mean you wouldn't take all the oil and grease out of your car or a motorcycle and then try to drive it that way would you? You see that's what statins do they remove all of your bodies fats and it doesn't matter whether it's healthy fats or a lousy fats. It removes all of them and then your body can't function properly. You have to have fats to keep your skin supple and to stay warm. Your body also needs fats to digest & process certain nutrients, amino acids & vitamins.   Your brain is composed of fat so is that something you really want to remove with a pill every morning and night?   The thing about statins is that they also make the blood vessels and capillaries permeable. So this is how my friends who were on cardiac medication for a long time and statins ended up bleeding internally to death.   If you want to make sure that your heart is healthy, take odorless garlic at night and magnesium, vitamin K & calcium.

      Glutening symptom? oily stool

      It's also a symptom of EPI.

      3 year old gluten intolerance?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Yes.  Proportionately a small piece to a toddler is like a whole slice to an adult.  This is an important clue.  She was doing well, accidentally ate gluten and later the old behavior returned. I remember reading posts here of people reacting to a kiss from someone who had just eaten gluten. Recent research indicates that 40% of first degree relatives of someone with Celiac have undiagnosed Celiac Disease.  Father, mother, siblings.  There is a whole list of symtoms of "silent celiac".  Here is an article of symptoms possibly mistaken for other causes than Celiac Disease.  When I finally stopped gluten at 63 years old, I counted 19 things that improved, including lifelong mouthbreathing.  I never smelled bad things, so I as a kid, I learned to respond to the other kid's response in order to not seem weird. I really recommend you pursue testing for all the family if you can, and the whole family following GFD.  It is difficult at first, but the benefits will be worth it.

      Feel Good gluten free chicken soup dumplings

      By Visionaerie · Posted

      I get these but where we are, they are called chicken potstickers. I would obviously suggest that it is the ginger in the product that is causing a stimulative digestive effect! So you might want to do what I do, just cook one of them with the rest of your meal so you don't have the same effect. I love the Feel Good products but they are on the expensive side. (I also drink Reed's ginger brew so in general, ginger is a friend of mine..when delivered at the right dose). Hope this helps and have a warm healthy week!

      Glutening symptom? oily stool

      By ognam · Posted

      Has anyone had Steatorrhea (oily/fatty poop) as a temporary glutening symptom or should I be concerned I've introduced chronic gluten somewhere (like in meds)? I haven't gotten Steatorrhea since before I went gluten free. However, I moved in the past few weeks and haven't been as careful - I've eaten at restauraunts with cross contamination but only experienced minor symptoms like headache. The past week, I ate only gluten free food at home except I went to Red Robin and got fries (told them gluten-free; allergy). The next day I had Steatorrhea and the day after that.   I know it's a symptom of malabsorption so I was wondering if it was the kind of thing that could be caused by one event or if it was due to a more chronic issue. Of course I will speak to a GI but I recently moved and need to find one.   Thank you for any info
