My SIL is getting married this afternoon and she picked this local Italian place for her reception. I freaked out at first, but then e-mailed the caterer to see if they could accommodate me. I talked to her yesterday and she assures me that anything that does not include Pasta can be modified. She said they get requests all the time and has all ready alerted the waitstaff to my needs.

I will update tomorrow on how everything goes.

Kat.

My report:

When we got there, I told my waitress that I was the one with allergies, so she brought me the regular menu and told me "What we normally recommend for people who cannot have wheat, barley or Rye is the Shrimp Coctail and the Pollo Reggianito" The meal was wonderful-it is grilled chicken breast with a marinara sauce and grilled squash. Afterwards, I thanked the waitresses for their help and they said-no problem. Anytime you come in, just let us know what your allergies are and we will note the ticket to the chef with allergy.

I was impressed. It was really good food and very unstressful for me, which is the opposite of what I expected at an Italian resturant that was serving 50 guests at the same time.

      Celiac Diagnosis from Bloodwork Only?

      By trents · Posted

      There are some causes besides celiac disease for elevated tTG-IGA, such as cow's milk protein, some other bowel diseases, NSAIDs, a certain blood pressure med and parasitic infections but the chances of that being true are not very high compared to the cause being celiac disease. And even with CMP (Cow's Milk Protein) most of those cases involve people who already have celiac disease.

      Did you purchase it thinking it was gluten free? The company doesn't advertise it as such do they? Barley is not one of the eight main allergens that the FDA requires to be posted in the allergen info. Wheat is but not barley. But good catch. We don't see many products with barley and rye as ingredients and it is easy to get lazy, not really read the detailed ingredient list and to just go straight for the allergen list.

      @Wheatwacked thank you for checking in about choline. I do meet me recommended amount on a plant-based diet already, per my nutritionist. Thankfully, I am not intolerant to soy and the cruciferous veggies I enjoy!

      @Wheatwacked thanks for your input. I am fully committed to being gluten-free if I truly have celiac disease.  I suppose my question is more so wondering if that blood test means I definitely have celiac disease. I had one doc look at the results and tell me to ignore them if I don’t have the classic celiac symptoms. The next doc (a few months later, when viewing the same results) said the results were suspicious and might mean gluten sensitivity, but then had her nurse call me later the same day to say I actually have celiac disease based on the results. So my care team seemed a little unsure. It sounds like, from this forum, that the general consensus is any abnormal blood results indicate celiac.
