A couple of my friends are in a band that's playing there on Saturday, and dinner is included with the show. I want to go to support them, but I was thinking "oh great... this is a dinner theater. There's no way I'm gonna be able to avoid gluten." I was wrong.

I just got off the phone with them. I spoke with the guy at reservations, who transferred me to the chef. We had a nice chat about what I could and couldn't eat, what's safe and what isn't, and he understands cross-contamination. My menu is going to be a salad, no croutons, no dressing, baked potato, and chicken and ribs, no sauce. I'm going to be allowed to bring in my own salad dressing and barbecue sauce.

They tagged my reservation so they know exactly where I'm going to be sitting, and assure me there won't be any problems, as they deal with diabetics and others with special diets all the time. Their website even states that they have a full kitchen and can easily accommodate most dietary restrictions. The phone call was a great experience, and I'm really looking forward to dinner.

They also have a magic show. If this evening goes well, I will probably go back to see that. =)

I had a great dinner last night!

When I got there, I reminded the waitress that my meal was supposed to be gluten free. We had a brief chat about cross-contamination and cooking on clean parts of the grill or in fresh pans, and she ran back to check with the kitchen to make sure everything for my meal had been kept separate and nobody had forgotten. She came out to tell me that everything was fine and I could relax and enjoy the show.

I got a salad, no dressing no croutons, a baked potato, steamed veggies, and ribs, no barbecue sauce. I brought my own barbecue sauce and salad dressing.

Although my meal was pretty different from everyone else's (standard is cole slaw, baked beans, soup, cornbread, ribs and/or chicken), it was wonderful, and they really went out of their way to make sure it was safe, and came out to check right after my meal was brought to make sure it was right. They also didn't charge extra.

I was really impressed. They made the evening really relaxing, and I felt like they were really paying close attention to what was going on, both in the dining room and in their kitchen.

Overall, they were awesome. A+

Thanks for sharing, great to know. Is that the place that has "Merlin's Magic Dinner Show?" If so, was it entertaining, or cheesy? I've always wondered about that!

It was the same restaurant, but I wasn't there for the magic show. They have other stuff there once in a while too, and my friends' band had a show there, so I was there for that. I'm going to go back and see the magic show, though, now that I know I can eat there and the food is good!

      Vaccines

      I did some research and found out that vaccines put preservatives, sugar alcohols and metals in them. Which I have a intolerance too. I was supposed to do testing to find out metal's I was allergic to because I can't wear jewelry of any kind. Mayo felt I had other allergies also.

      Mayo is great and yes I had the same experience. They take you seriously and they check everything. I to wish other Dr's cared that much. I sure hope it's not refractory celiac also.

      Vaccines

      When I went to the Mayo Clinic back in 21' it was pretty amazing. The doctor sat and went over everything with me for a couple hours. I finally had to ask him if he had other patient to see. He said that not until he was done with me. I went back to my hotel room that day after some blood work and then got an itinerary of tests to be done over the next 5...

      Vaccines

      Antibodies my number is in 500's. COVID hit and I was layed off from my job so no insurance (was in Arizona) so couldn't complete all the other testing they wanted to do. Back home and contacted Minnesota Mayo and they take my new insurance so considering going back in spring.

      For individuals who have experienced negative reactions to the flu vaccine, there are alternative formulations that may reduce the risk of allergic responses. Traditional flu vaccines are typically produced using egg-based methods, which can pose issues for those with egg allergies. However, there are now several egg-free options available, such as cell-based and recombinant flu vaccines. Recombinant Vaccines (e.g., Flublok Quadrivalent): These are produced without the use of eggs and are grown in insect cells, making them a suitable option for individuals with egg allergies. Cell-Based Vaccines (e.g., Flucelvax Quadrivalent): These vaccines are also egg-free and are produced using mammalian cell cultures, which can be a safer alternative for those with egg allergies. Other Considerations: If you have had a reaction to a specific component of the flu vaccine (e.g., gelatin, preservatives, or antibiotics), discussing your medical history with a healthcare provider is crucial. They can help identify vaccines that exclude these ingredients. It's important to consult with an allergist or healthcare provider to determine the safest option based on your specific allergies and medical history. They can also provide guidance on pre-vaccination testing or desensitization protocols if necessary. Also, at @trents mentioned, could you be getting hidden gluten in your diet? Do you eat in restaurants? If so, this could be why you still have high gluten antibodies.

He said that not until he was done with me. I went back to my hotel room that day after some blood work and then got an itinerary of tests to be done over the next 5 days. It was unbelievable. I had what would've been 4 years of testing back home done in 5 days. I went home at the end of 5 days and got my results a week later on a zoom call. EPI and rapid gastric emptying syndrome. I do have celiac disease but that wasn't the cause of my continued symptoms. Those people up there are great. Wouldn't that be amazing if all medical care was like that?  That's weird that the antibodies are that high. Hopefully it's not refractory celiac disease. Good luck.
