I went to the Dominican. We paid for the vacation before I was diagnosed. That was very scary for me. I printed out this card that said I was allergic to Wheat, rye, barley and oats. It also stated malt and soy sauce. I brought it everywhere. They never made me feel like I was inconveniencing them and they were so eager to help. It was wonderful. I had seafood, mexican, buffet style, room service.. Here is a clip from my blog (so I dont have to type it all again)

"I went on vacation. To the Dominican Republic. I was NEVER sick! The people there were more than accomodating. I ate amazing food. I talked to the guest relations people and they helped me pick my restaurants. One day we got a note that said for me to go to the front desk. I had to meet the head chef cause he wanted to talk to me about gluten but we needed a translator to be there. They wanted me to tell them everything about it so they could be more aware. How crazy is that? Every restaurant I went to, I handed the waiter/waitress my gluten free card and watched their faces (it was fun)."

"So I bought this card that explains I can't eat gluten in spanish. Here is the info.

      What might this EMA result mean?

      By Toaster · Posted

      No other tests. This was from about 10 years ago, I noticed it when checking through my all bloods to look for patterns.  I will go back to my doctor...

      Were there any other tests besides the EMA run for celiac disease? If not, you should request them. At minimum, "total IGA" and "tTG-IGA" should be ordered. A more complete celiac panel would also include the DGP-IGA, DGP-IGG and TTG-IGG. And very importantly, you should not have been reducing gluten consumption in the weeks/months leading up to the testing blood draw.

      I'm looking into it. I have several quite low vitamin results which I believe may be from malabsorption. B12, ferritin, folate, vit d all very low. Re-occuring mouth issues, gut issues.
