Tears Of...........

JOY!

Last evening my wife and I went out on a date for the first time in the years since my diagnosis. We went with my son's future in-laws to check out the party center where their wedding reception will be later this year. They were having a dinner and show with a select menu. For some reason we were rushed and I didn't have a chance to check in advance so I loaded up with my Lara Bar and hoped for the best knowing I had just eaten before I walked out the door.

Nice casual evening and the waitress came to take our salad order. I asked if there were croutons and she apologetically said "No, there weren't any" thinking I would be disappointed. I then clarified that was a good thing and that I would like my dressing on the side. She said it all came that way.

I had decided I was going to chance the prime rib and when I ordered asked that no bread be put on the plate because I could not have any gluten. She said she had a gluten expert in the kitchen and assured me every precaution would be taken.

And then, it happened. The kitchen doors opened and an angel delivered my plate to me. she apologized for not knowing in advance (uh, that would be MY fault..please!) and explained that she substituted steamed veggies for the mashed potatoes because she knew they were boxed. She had heaped glorious mushrooms sauteed in butter on the Prime Rib and she was able to tell me just exactly how it was seasoned and prepared. She smiled at me and asked "celiac?" to which I replied in the affirmative. She said she was the family celiac as well. My wife was nearly in tears as we related that this was our first time out in several years. I had cut out dairy but figured, and told her, I was willing to chance the butter the mushrooms were sauteed in. She was going to make a note on our son and future daughter in law's reception order to make sure she would have sterilized dedicated prep area and utensils for prepping my meal in November. She explained that she took as many precautions as she could under short notice and used clean serving implements to dish my food.

I thanked her and let her know I was very comfortable with this.

I feel great this morning! (it was all delicious!)

WOOOHOOOO!

      Gluten Free Beer - The Enzymatic Hydrolyzation Process Problem

      By Jason Dyer · Posted

      Trents, It's a good question. The experts I have spoken to have told me the distillation process does remove the offensive proteins. Again, I'm not the expert on that. I'm only reporting. I don't have any issue with distilled spirits that don't have any additives. That said, maybe there is something else at play here? Good question for the forum.

      Gluten Free Beer - The Enzymatic Hydrolyzation Process Problem

      By trents · Posted

      I'm wondering if this is the same issue some celiacs have with distilled liquors. The complete gluten molecule is too large and heavy to to travel up with the vapor but if their are gluten fragments created by the heat, they may not be and the immune systems of some celiacs still recognize it as gluten. I have no scientific proof for this, just a thought because we have so many forum contributors who still react to these "gluten removed" products.

      Gluten Free Beer - The Enzymatic Hydrolyzation Process Problem

      By Jason Dyer · Posted

      Thanks, Scott and Trents. Scott, tastes vary of course. The metallic taste may just be me. As to the filtration efficacy, I can only add that the micron level to remove a smaller protein chain must be pretty tight. What about the impact of hydrolization on the R5 test? I've been told it presents a challenge. Trents, thanks for the clarification. I did not draw this distinction, but can. I honestly didn't perceive the nuance.  Appreciate the feedback from you both.

      Medicinal mushrooms 🍄

      By Liquid lunch · Posted

      I don’t think it matters much if you trust the supplier, I get them from a Welsh company maesyffin mushrooms but I think the guy there has retired from growing now and just resells eu imports so it’s probably the same mushrooms he uses to make the tinctures as the company you posted. It’d probably be cheaper to buy dried and make your own tincture.

      Could this be Celiac disease?

      By Chissers · Posted

      Thank you for your prompt reply. Have others experienced LUQ and L sided back pain when on gluten? Could gluten be irritating the pancreas to cause the slight rise in lipase?
