Hey everyone!

I just got back from Cour d'Alene, Idaho. I had the best experience! My mom had e-mailed the head chef at the hotel and he said they would be able to prepare foods for me at 3 of their restaurants! As we were driving to the hotel, my dad spotted a "GLUTEN-FREE" sign off of the side of the road. We pulled over and there was store that was filled with gluten-free food! We got a bunch of stuff like snacks and Kinnikinick chocolate covered doughnuts (they were sooo good)! Anyway, when we got to the hotel, in our room was a fruit basket with Namaste brownie packages! That was a good sign. The first night we went to one of the three restaurants called Bonsai Bistro. No problems at all- they knew what to do (although I asked a bunch of questions). The food was so good that we went again! For lunches, we brought a griller and had Whole Foods bread, so I had grilled cheese. It was a great experience!!!

:D

Wow! That's very exciting! It's getting easier for us. Someday hopefully everywhere will be that way.

Oh wow, we only live about 4 hours north of Cor d'Alene. Next time we are down that way, we'll have to check it all out! Good for them, hope they spread the idea all over :D

Glad you had such a wonderful time.

Cor d'Alene is amazing. I am from New York but was through there less then 3 months ago. There is a steak and oyster bar that is on the main drag. I recomend it highly. Let the waiter or waitress know that you are gluten free and they will surely take care of you.

My girlfriend, Krysta, and I went there when we went through and they did more then expected. The cook that was there at the time came out and asked specifics on what she could and could not have. Each thing was carefully prepaired and the meal was great. Most of the soups were gluten-free. I do not suffer with this disorder but was so amaized to how the delt and took such good care of the customers. I would deffinately recoment that anybody try this place. I am going to go back in the next month.

Do you travail in Idaho much. I am looking for a support group around Moscow for her. Any ideas?

No, unfortunately we don't get down there much. There must be many Celiacs around there though, that's a fairly good size city. Perhaps she should ask at the hospital or a medical clinic. There may already be a support group there.

      Is it gluten?

      Hello @A Wilson, Glad you found us.   There is your answer.  The results from the tests are just more data to the puzzle.

      Is it gluten?

      Hi @Woodster991, You do need to see a health professional to make sure it is not appendicitis.  Rebound tenderness, fever.   Is it gluten?  Yes.  It is also serious vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Either by Celiac Disease malabsortion, food avoidance or just not getting enough.  Consider significantly increasing your intake of vitamin D, B1, Choline, Iodine, B2, B3, B5, B12.  The vitamin D test, (25(OH)D, is simple and accurate. Whole Milk yogurt and berries to populate your gut with benificial bacteria.  I drink Red Bull for energy.  Eat food low in omega 6 fatty acids. The ideal ratio is less than 3 omega 6 to 1 omega 3.  For some, the Modern American Diet is estimated to be more than 14:1.  Very inflammatory.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  Grass fed milk is 1:1. Whether Celiac Disease (1% of the population) or Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population) would take blood tests and endoscopy. It is either that, or you have managed to contract 6 or 7 different diseases at the same time. You don't need a doctor's permission to not eat gluten anymore than you would to eat Chinese food.

      Being gluten free for two weeks prior to testing can make a difference in the test results if the score is borderline.

      Is it gluten?

      By A Wilson · Posted

      Hello, New to Celiac.com, glad I found this site. I have had a lot of GI issues most of my life. Recently my GI issues got so bad I tried a gluten free diet and made a appointment with my GI doctor. I  got the Celiac disease blood test but I  had been gluten free for two weeks before the test. My doctor told me being gluten free for two weeks would not make a difference in the test results. I am not sure I believe that.  I have been reading a lot of articles about Celiac disease and they all give the same information. My GI issues are all gone since my gluten free life started around October 16th 2024, and I  don't want to go back to eating gluten. I am nervous about going back to the doctor for my test results.

      I was also told I had IBS years ago like literally it's just IBS the docter said I've had lots of  the symptoms you say there plus much more but I'm convinced it's not just IBS although I feel very sorry for people who get told this too because IBS is a real problem for people too it's awfull how much ignorance is around in the world these days from docters try the elimination diet like I did gluten free I also did lactose because it was still bothering me I found a real big change I've read some members here say  it can be quite hard to get a diagnosis and help but there is plenty of self help here it's not wrong to self diagnose if you find that it truly is a Life changer be true to your own needs and ask people already suffering for advise it's about your quality of life now and for future this us were I'm heading if I have no luck with docters I will have luck helping myself 🤗
