Captain Charlie's In Swansboro, Nc

While on vacation at a family favorite spot (Atlantic Beach) in North Carolina, we went to a local seafood restaurant called Captain Charlie's. One of the reasons we went was because when we were there two years ago, we overheard the staff take care of a customer who was allergic to shrimp.

When we went, I informed the waitress that I had a wheat allergy (still seems to be easier to explain Celiac's that way for now) and she informed the manager. The manager came to my table and went over everything I was ordering to check the ingredients. No hush puppies or chowder for me, but the rest of my meal was fine!

If you're in the area, I definitely recommend it.

      diagnostic testing variance

      so much to it. the genetic testing will help if i don’t have it right? If theres no gene found then I definitely don’t have celiac? I guess genetic testing, plus ruling out h.pylori, plus gluten challenge will be a good way to confirm yes or no for celiac.

      diagnostic testing variance

      With NCGS there isn't villi damage, so it would not be detected via an endoscopy/biopsy. There also may not be high levels of tTG-IgA or tTG-IgG (sometimes they can be elevated, but in the normal range), but these blood tests may be slightly elevated or even high in people with NCGS: DGP-IgA and DGP-IgG (Deamidated Gliadin Peptide), but, you can still have...

      diagnostic testing variance

      That all makes sense thank you. I was within normal ranges - a little on the lower end. So, the NCGS would still show positive biopsy?

      diagnostic testing variance

      Do you happen to have the reference ranges for those blood tests, as they vary from lab to lab? Just the results don't mean much without those ranges. A gluten challenge would be the only way to get a formal diagnosis of celiac disease, and if the idea of eating lots of gluten for weeks sounds horrible to you, then you likely have either celiac disease...

      Winter typically ranges from about freezing to minus 13 fahrenheit. We have occasional thaws. We live 2 blocks from the longest skating rink in the world. There are downhill ski hills within 30 minutes drive and we can walk to set cross country ski trails. When dressed appropriately we can walk to Parliament buildings, national museums and art galleries,...

      Do you happen to have the reference ranges for those blood tests, as they vary from lab to lab? Just the results don't mean much without those ranges. A gluten challenge would be the only way to get a formal diagnosis of celiac disease, and if the idea of eating lots of gluten for weeks sounds horrible to you, then you likely have either celiac disease and/or non-celiac gluten sensitivity, so you will need to decide how badly you want a formal diagnosis. Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:
