We have been invited to our first BBQ this weekend and I am not sure how I am going to cope.

I will be bringing my own food mostly and I will be keeping snacks in the car for just in case and I will bring my own drinks!

My friends are pretty understanding but it scares me because I so don't want to be sick.

Any suggestions? And staying home isn't a good one! :rolleyes: I'm tired of staying home, its summer its time to party and relax cause winter is supposed to be over (lets see if the weather cooperates!).

Other then the food, the real scary part is the hot tub! EWWW swimsuit shopping <_<

I bring whatever I want to grill wrapped in foil so I don't have to worry about CC on the grill or in the charcoal. I also bring a dish to pass that's gluten-free, and my friends are really good about not sharing spoons or dropping crumbs in my food. Otherwise I'd either not bring a dish to pass and just bring my whole meal or I'd take some of my dish out at home and bring the rest of the dish for other people.

That foil trick is perfect!!

All of my friends/family are used to me bringing my own food. I have for many years. I went through all sorts of diets over the past 12 years trying to get well. They have been with me through "raw foodism", "vegan", "vegetarian", "whole foods", and now gluten-free, DF, DF. etc. The will joke with me a bit, but I dont mind. Hey Shay, what food are you avoiding this week?

For me it is all about visiting with people I enjoy being around. And honestly I simply do not go if I dont like the people. So it eleminates any worries.

Hi,

Good for you for taking such good care of yourself. I always take my food wherever I go, and have for years. Nobody says anything anymore, and I am always a happy camper because I have whatever I need. Large bags, especially those lined with plastic are great, and I use those plate-sized styrofoam tortilla warmers to keep my hot food in and it stays hot for hours. I always take my own spoon or fork and napkins too, in order to be really prepared. It has become kind of a game to see how well I can package whatever I'm eating, and how unobtrusive I can be in eating it. Good luck, and have lots of fun at your barbecue. Welda

We decided we are taking a huge taco salad. One of the ladies is bringing a large fresh fruit platter so one way or another I will be eating. I emailed the hostess and told her and her only concern was if I would have enough to eat.

We will probably bring some snacks too.

I really like the idea of the grill pan to bring. I know at the big box stores they sell disposable grill racks to go on top of the regular rack. At least the options are there.

I was so worried about this at first but now I am feeling much better about it. Thanks everyone

      Years of testing - no real answers

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      The intestinal tract can be as long as twenty-two feet long, so intestinal damage may be out of the reach of endoscopy tools.  Some people have had more success with capsule endoscopy, but this method cannot take biopsies.

      What should I do with these test results?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Jack Common, It's possible that your antibiotic for giardiasis has caused thiamine deficiency.   https://hormonesmatter.com/metronidazole-toxicity-thiamine-deficiency-wernickes-encephalopathy/ And... Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/ For clarification, the weight of your slice of bread is not equal to the amount of gluten in it.   Gluten helps form those big holes in breads, so breads like thick chewy pizza crust and artisan breads contain more gluten than cakes and cookies.

      Guidance on next steps after the lab tests

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Sorry about that link.  It was meant for a different post.   Do consider taking high dose Vitamin D in order to get your level up to around 80 nm/l quickly.   This is the level where Vitamin D can properly work like a hormone and can improve the immune system and lower inflammation.  It makes a big difference.   I took high dose Vitamin D and really improved quickly.  I ate Vitamin D supplements throughout the day like m&ms.  My body craved them.  Very strange, I know, but it worked.   Before you have surgery, you really need to improve your vitamins and minerals.  Vitamins A and D, Vitamin C and Niacin are extremely important to skin health and repair.  Without these, the body does not repair itself neatly.  I've got a scar worthy of a horror movie.  My doctors were clueless about nutritional deficiencies. A sublingual Vitamin B12 supplement will work better for boosting levels.  Tablets or liquid drops in the mouth are easily absorbed directly into the blood stream.   Do bear in mind that about half of Celiac people react to the protein in dairy, Casein, the same as they react to gluten because segments of the protein in Casein resembles segments of the protein Gluten.  Some people lose the ability to produce lactase, the enzyme that digests Lactose, the sugar in dairy, as they age.  Others lose the ability to produce lactase because the intestinal Villi become damaged during the autoimmune response against gluten, and damaged chili can't produce lactase.   Do try Benfotiamine.  It has been shown to improve gastrointestinal health and neuropathy. Keep us posted on your progress!

      Thanks sending me additional links including how to test for thiamine deficiency. With regards to your first link, I wasn't diagnosed with giardiasis and I didn't take antibiotic for it. I try to generally stay away from antibiotic unless absolutely necessary as it might affect gut health. For treating phimosis, the doctor didn't give me antibiotics. I need to have a circumcision surgery which I haven't got around to schedule it.

      I'm not vegan, just vegetarian. I consume dairy but not egg. So I have started including some Vitamin D fortified milk as well as a multivitamin with 2000 IU daily. For Vitamin B12, like you said it's very difficult to get it from just vegetarian sources and have started consuming Vitamin B Complex daily. My PCP was worried when my Vitamin D result came out as It was 3.7 ng/ml last year. He said that being low for a lengthy time could have done some damage to the body over the years. Now, though Vitamin D level has improved after the supplements, I'm not sure if the neurological damage has already been done. I'll continue including the supplements and see if my symptoms improve. I'll also get tested for celiac to see if I need to be in gluten-free diet.
