Hello Everyone. I just got back yesterday from a magnificient trip to Mexico. I was so worried about going away since this was my first vacation since being diagnosed in February. I stayed at the Ieberostar Paraiso Lindo in Riviera Maya, Mexico and I couldn't have asked for a better trip! :D When I checked in I asked for the woman who I had been emailing with about Celiac. She was not working at that exact resort but they knew who I was and asked me for a list of foods that I could not eat. I handed them one of my restaurant cards and then I went to my room. About 10 minutes later, there was a typed letter that was slid under my door. They had written up a whole letter in Spanish explaining how important my food allergies were. They also told me to bring the letter to all of the restaurants and the chef would make me a special meal. I did as they said and NEVER got sick!!!!! I could even eat at the buffet and there were so many wonderful foods to choose from. I was so excited. Anyway, I couldn't wait to share with all of you as I know how exciting something like this is and wanted to give everyone a vacation option that you know will be safe. It is a 5 star resort so it is not as cheap as some others but is completely worth it. It's all inclusive so you don't have to worry about spending any money once you get there either. The resort is only one year old and is absolutely magnificient. Let me know if anyone ends up going there. I am on cloud nine that it was so easy. Makes me not so afraid to go away on vacation anymore!!!!! :P

How fantastic you that that experience. I was interested as we are going to Puerto Vallarta in February with our family, but will be staying in time shares and eating all over the place. My granddaughter and I both will be eating gluten-free, but my son and his wife have been there before, so I really don't have to worry as they will be looking out for us wherever we go. My granddaughter has had celiac disease for five years (I was just diagnosed gluten intoleranct recently) so they are very up on the whole thing. I don't drink, so that isn't a problem either. Maybe other people will respond to this thread with other experiences they have had in Mexico.

      Weird Symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your symptoms would not be typical celiac disease symptoms, but still could be related due to possible nutrient deficiencies.  The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs.

      Everyday life

      This is a difficult situation, and one that your employer may not take seriously. It's possible that they don't have a way to accommodate your issues, but I don't know much about your work environment. Obviously moving you to another work area would be ideal, but would or could they do that? If not, you might be stuck having to wear a K95-type mask at work to avoid breathing any particles, but they still could end up on your skin. Another alternative is searching for a new job.

      Has anyone found Ozempic affected their symptoms?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is an interesting theory, but it’s important to note that Ozempic, while it does slow digestion, doesn’t change the body’s immune response to gluten in individuals with celiac disease. Even if symptoms seem reduced, the immune system is still triggered, which can cause the same long-term damage to the intestines, regardless of symptom severity. Regarding sourdough bread, while it may have lower levels of gluten depending on how it’s made, it’s still not safe for people with celiac disease unless it’s explicitly gluten-free. The immune response to gluten in celiac disease is triggered by even tiny amounts of gluten, so adhering strictly to a gluten-free diet is essential for health and healing. If you suspect Ozempic or other factors are influencing your symptoms, it might be worth discussing with your healthcare provider or a specialist to ensure you’re fully addressing your health needs.

      This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. Re: tTG-IgA:
