I Just Have To Say How Happy I Am

We just got back from a 3 day road trip. We ate out 1x/day for 4 days straight. I packed most of the food for myself and my celiac 12 month old. I've been working on keeping him gluten-free, but it is extremely hard with a toddler once we leave home, as they are apt to put anything into their mouths. Since we started our gluten-free household 7 months ago, we have usually had 1-2 glutenings/month for ds. I was resigned to the fact that we would get glutened on our trip. I am thrilled to report that we made it through a chinese buffet, and american buffet, a wendy's and a steakhouse without incident!! It's so empowering to me to know that it's possible to stay gluten-free on the road. It's one thing to say you are gluten-free, but something else entirely to reach the point where you know you aren't getting secretly glutened, and you are informed and forceful enough to survive restaurants safely. I hope everyone can get here.

thanks for listening,

happy happy mom of a celiac toddler.

Awesome!! If you can do it with a toddler, the rest of us adults can surely do it. Can you share what kind of foods you chose at the buffets?

      Endoscopy

      By Soleihey · Posted

      My TTG was 167 one year ago. Recently had it retested one month ago and it went down to 16. I only recently had an endoscopy done as I was pregnant within the last year. I did not eat gluten prior to this endoscopy as I get very sick. Prior to obtaining the biopsies, the endoscopy said “ diffuse moderately erythematous mucosa to the second part of the duodenum without bleeding.” However, the biopsy came back negative. I assume it’s a false negative as I have also had genetic testing to confirm celiac. However, what would cause the inflammation to the second part of the duodenum and continued positive blood markers if the intestines have healed?

      Thank you for direction.  Eating out is a concern though we rarely do, but I'm prepared now.

      Celiac or not?

      By cristiana · Posted

      Thank you for the update.  So interesting to know how things are changing, when I was diagnosed I had very similar blood results but still had to have the endoscopy.  Glad you know where you stand.  As your father has celiac disease you probably already know a lot about it, but do contact us if we can help further.

      But isn't it easier to just take a D3 supplement? Is the D light somehow a superior source? Links?
