Hi everyone. I was recently diagnosed with Celiac, and am planning to be married in July. My fiance and I are trying to find a honeymoon destination.

Has anyone had experiences with resorts that have been accommodating of the diet? I do not want to spend my honeymoon sick! Any thoughts would be appreciated.

We are hoping to do a beach honeymoon somewhere!

Thanks!

All of the major resort hotesl here in Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii will do great gluten free meals. Four Seasons, Fairmont. Mauna Kea, Hilton Waikola all have chefs who are aware of it and all keep gluten-free foods isolated form regular foods. I think with the major resorts as long as you talk to the chef ahead of time and keep reminding them once your there, it should be no problem. I'll be glad ot get you names and numbers for the chefs here if you decided on Hawaii.

Congrats!

If you can't find a resort how about a cruise? Royal Carribean do gluten free, and every day I got fab gluten-free bread and desserts! Just let them know when you book the cruise. Plus the entertainment is great!

Congrats!

When my husband and I went on our honeymoon in 2001, I was not yet gluten free (not even sure I was gluten intolerant, at that time), but we went back to Hawaii in 2007, by which point I had been gluten (and dairy) free for four (and three, respectively) years. We stayed in bed and breakfasts that had kitchens we could cook in, and checked on a few restaurants ahead of time (many recommended on this site), and I had no problem avoiding gluten the entire trip. Having food on hand for the long days we were out snorkeling or hiking was harder, but that's always it's own challenge, especially since I'm hypoglycemic and tend to need food every few hours.

Find a place you WANT to go, and then figure out how to make it work gluten free. In the vast majority of cases, you'll work it out just fine!

      Gluten Free Daily Vitamins for Kids w/ Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I haven't heard of them before, but a significant portion of dietary supplements are produced by a handful of large contract manufacturers. These companies have the facilities, expertise, and certifications to produce supplements at scale, making them attractive partners for brands that don’t have their own manufacturing capabilities. I doubt Forvia manufactures them directly, so it is hard to know if they are just doing clever marketing to a certain malabsorption crowd, or they actually have unique product.

      Not sure if this is Celiac or just a gluten-free intolerance

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      That’s an interesting observation! The timing you mention does raise questions about the relationship between modern wheat varieties and the emergence of Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS). Norman Borlaug’s work on high-yield, disease-resistant wheat during the Green Revolution significantly increased global food production, but it also led to changes in the composition of wheat, including higher gluten content to improve baking qualities. While NCGS was formally recognized as a condition in the 2010s (https://bmcmedicine.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1741-7015-10-13 and https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3820047/) , it’s important to note that the awareness and diagnosis of gluten-related disorders have evolved over time. Some researchers suggest that modern wheat breeding practices, along with changes in food processing and gut health, may contribute to the rise in gluten sensitivity. However, the exact mechanisms behind NCGS are still not fully understood, and it remains a debated topic in the scientific community. It’s also worth considering that increased awareness and improved diagnostic tools have played a role in identifying conditions like NCGS that may have existed but were previously unrecognized. The interplay between genetic, environmental, and dietary factors makes this a complex issue, and more research is needed to fully understand the connections.

      My Adult daughter is blaming me for her "possible" Celiac disease.

      By trents · Posted

      @Marie70, it is very important that your daughter not begin experimenting with eating gluten free until all testing for celiac disease is complete. Doing so will invalidate the testing. Normally, the testing involves two stages. The first stage is blood antibody testing as per the article linked by Scott above. As you can see from the article, there are a number of tests that can be ordered when diagnosing celiac disease but most physicians will not order a complete panel. At the very minimum, your daughter should request two antibody tests, "total IGA" and "tTG-IGA". The tTG-IGA is considered the centerpiece of celiac disease testing but if total IGA is low (i.e., if she is IGA deficient), this will result in an artificially low tTG-IGA score and possibly a false negative. Many general practitioners are not very knowledgeable about celiac disease testing so we have found we have to be a little assertive in order to get proper testing done. I don't know under the relational circumstances how much input you will have with your daughter about these things but I thought I'd pass the info on to you anyway. The second stage of celiac disease testing involves an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining which is then sent to a lab for microscopic analysis. This checks for damage to the small bowel lining and is confirmation if any of the blood antibody tests are positive. It is also considered to be the gold standard of celiac disease diagnosis. Again, should her antibody testing be positive, your daughter would still need to be consuming gluten until after the endoscopy/biopsy is complete.

      Did I outgrow celiac

      By Klsdurbin · Posted

      No!!! Celiacs disease does not go away. You can’t outgrow it, and if all proper diagnostic procedures (blood test and endoscopy) were followed when you were 8, it’s almost impossible to be mis-diagnosed.    stoms and reactions to gluten do change over time, but the fact you have celiacs does not.    I think that a lot of people misunderstand that the goal to managing your celiacs is to eventually test negative for celiacs. This does not mean it went away, it means that your gluten-free diet is working and you’re no longer producing the anti-bodies that will wreak havoc on your health.    if you can access the medical records from when you were 8 and have a GI doctor review them, I would highly recommend you do this.
