Lax - Caterina's Carries Gluten Free Products

Just a head's up after an awesome discovery I made yesterday at LAX when trying to find something safe to eat for lunch.

Caterina's (I might have that slightly misspelled) at LAX (what appears to be a candy store from the outside, in the corridor for Gates 60-69) carries a large number of allergy-friendly products, including gluten free cookies, Allergaroos (although I didn't see a microwave), rice cakes, gluten free protein bars, squeeze containers of Justin's peanut butter, Nut Thins, etc. I saw a lot of products I recognized and some I hadn't seen before.

When I checked out, I mentioned to the cashier that this was the first time I'd ever seen such good gluten-free selection in an airport, and she said that the owner's spouse is gluten free and diabetic....which is why they stock allergy-friendly products.

(I'm not affiliated with them, just wanted people to know)

I was on United and was on the corridor next to the one with Caterina's - gates 70-77. I think in the corridor with gates 60-69, I saw Continental and United, but I also wasn't really paying attention.

      Yes that's why I'm holding off on getting tested until after the summer so no Russian roulette bathroom escapades then I will reintroduce and get tested. The vitamins aren't a supplement they are frozen fruits and vegetables that you blend with water so it's natural fruit and veggies that I have used for 5 years daily. I don't take supplements I did full vitamin bloodwork and all great levels for what I need.

      There's a Vegetarian version of the Autoimmune Protocol Diet. There are vegetables that can provide Calcium...broccoli, kale, lentils, tofu.  Talking to a nutritionist can help identify vegetables that can provide you with the minerals and vitamins you need.  Getting dietary advice is part of proper follow up care for people with Celiac disease. tTg testing is used for diagnostic purposes.  It should not be used to signify compliance or healing.

      Ten grams of gluten per day for two weeks or longer is needed to get antibody levels up high enough so that they can be measured in the blood stream and intestinal damage can be seen in the small intestines.   HOWEVER,  only THREE grams if gluten is needed to produce symptoms...like running to the bathroom.   Some people have much worse symptoms after reintroducing gluten, even with amounts of gluten much less than three grams.  So...getting glutened or cross contamination is a real concern.   You'll be playing Russian Roulette on your vacation.   If you got vitamin levels tested while taking a nutritional shake with vitamins, you've simply measured the vitamins from the shake.  You need to be off vitamin supplementation for eight weeks prior to vitamin testing.  Were more than Vitamin D and B12 tested???  "Normal" levels of these two vitamins don't mean that you're not deficient in the other eleven essential vitamins.  Vitamin D and B12 can be stored in the body a lot longer than the other vitamins, especially the other B vitamins like thiamine. Enjoy your vacation!

      Mostly because of the inconsistency/irregularity of your symptoms with regard to gluten consumption and other dietary factors. Their doesn't seem to be a real pattern. Histamines are produced by our bodies themselves but they are also found in the foods we eat and the air we breathe (pollen). Certain foods, for example, fermented and aged products, are very high in histamines. Other foods, like bananas and avocados, may be high in histamines but they also may stimulate the body's production of histamines. The body (in the gut) produces a histamine regulating chemical called DAO (Diamine Oxidase). Some people, and this is more common in the celiac community because of damage to the gut lining, don't produce enough DAO to adequately regulate histamine levels in the body. This results in histamine "storms" that produce a variety of symptoms such as headaches, acid reflux and diarrhea. So, I'm just wondering if your symptoms are tied to fluctuating histamine levels that get pushed passed the tipping point at times by various things you may be eating. Anyway, you might want to research it. I also wonder if you have IBS.
