Ok, I need to tell other celiac's about this. I went out to eat tonight with some friends. I had looked at the menu before at was pretty sure I could figure something out to eat. I had called as well, and the person I spoke with seemed to understand what gluten free meant.

Ok, so we got to the resaturant, its called the Sunflower, its in Boulder, CO. I had eaten their, prior to my gluten-free diet. Its pretty good. Its a place that servers only organic foods and such. Its a restaurant though, so its all dish's made with organic things.

The menu was very non gluten-free friendly, but they made me some salmon that was really good. Not feeling sick yet either...

Now comes dessert. I was like, well I probably can have ice cream. The waiter brought out the "display" platter of all the cakes and pies. The last dessert caught my attention. I thought.. "wait! DID he say what I thought he did?""" I asked to repeat, and he said "and this is our flour free gluten free chocolate pie" I was like hello! I will have that. It was great! I was shocked and further amazed then when I looked at the dessert menu, and it actaully had a symbol for vegetarian,ok I expected that, but it also have a symbol for all desserts that were wheat free! Woohoo. I remeber seeing that when I was around in England and some places in Europe, but having one place here, even it if it was just a dessert menu was cool.

Oh, here their website.

All in all my meal was good, and dessert was great... I was a bit nervous at eating my salmon dinner their as it was very "mixed" together with a glaze and some potatoes, but the waiter had assured me their chef well understood a gluten-free diet and would make it especiially for me. Still feeling ok. :>

      Yaya, from the JAMA study you refer to: "Taking 60,000 international units (IU) a day of vitamin D for several months has been shown to cause toxicity." No one on this forum is recommending taking anywhere near that amount. We're talking about 5-10,000IU daily.

      "Doses higher than the RDA are sometimes used to treat medical problems such as vitamin D deficiency, but these are given only under the care of a doctor for a specified time frame. Blood levels should be monitored while someone is taking high doses of vitamin D." Quoted from the Healthline article @Yaya linked above...

      https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2748796 If read carefully, this study @Yaya refers to was done on healthy people.   "Meaning  Among healthy adults, supplementation with higher doses of vitamin D did not result in improved bone health; further research would be needed to determine whether it is harmful." "...311 community-dwelling healthy adults without osteoporosis, aged 55 to 70 years, with baseline levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) of 30 to 125 nmol/L."   High dose Vitamin D doesn't have substantial benefits if your Vitamin D level is already normal. High dose Vitamin D is used to restore severely deficient Vitamin D levels to normal levels.  "...high-dose vitamin D therapy, as a useful tool to rapidly replete vitamin D status, may support immune function in the context of an acute or chronic infection" ...and... "Therefore, in the context of inflammation and conditions where anemia is prevalent, including chronic kidney disease, cardiovascular disease, and critical illness, high-dose vitamin D supplementation may be beneficial in rapidly repleting and maintaining 25(OH)D concentrations and may serve as a complement to other treatment regimens to improve anemia." "Among those who had insufficient 25(OH)D (<75nmol/L) at baseline, the High Dose group improved significantly and to a comparatively greater degree on the PRM." These quotes are from the articles I posted earlier.
