I just got back from the Pensacola/Destin area and had a couple good experiences I wanted to share...After landing in Pensacola, we stopped at Ever'man grocery and got groceries and they also have gluten-free food at the deli (watch a bit closely as they brought my children's gluten-free meal with bread on top - they were very sorry and made a new plate and it was great!). The Publix in Fort Walton was amazing - a whole gluten-free section - I was really impressed. My kids love the alligators at Fudpuckers and we usually just look at the alligators and go home, but this time I called ahead and they said they could accomodate. They have a gluten-free menu (although it does have a grammatical and semantic errors which made me nervous but everything makes me nervous) - the manager was Christine and she was absolutely amazing - she cross checked every single ingredient with us, made sure the waitress knew about bringing our food separately than the other people at our table, etc. Our food was even brought with covers over it they had put on in the kitchen. I was shocked - they were really on top of it - more than any other place I have been beside Disney World - you just never know. Finally, we ate at Tommy Bahamas near Sandestin where the chef came out to talk with us - it was fabulous. Hope this helps anyone headed that way this summer!

      Type 1 diabetes (4year old) and positieve ttg

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @marinke! "Type 1a diabetes (DM1) is associated with an increased risk of celiac disease (celiac disease) (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/35/10/2083/38503/IgA-Anti-transglutaminase-Autoantibodies-at-Type-1 "The prevalence of celiac disease (celiac disease) in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is 5.1%, and it is often asymptomatic (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/48/2/e13/157637/Diagnostic-Outcomes-of-Elevated-Transglutaminase So, this is 5x the rate found in the general population.

      Long term recovery

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi James47, You are less than 2 years into your recovery from Celiacs.  Tell us more about the problems you are having. Do you just want to get rid of belly fat or are you still having symptoms like gas and bloating.    For symptoms you may need to change your diet and take various supplements that you cannot adsorb from the foods you eat because of the damage caused by the autoimmune reaction in your small intestine.

      Type 1 diabetes (4year old) and positieve ttg

      By marinke · Posted

      My daughter (4 years old) has type 1 diabetes since she was 1. Therefore, every year a screening is done. We live in the Netherlands. Every year the screening was fine. This year here ttg is positive, 14, >7 is positive. IGA was in range. Could the diabetes cause this positive result? Or the fact that she was sick the weeks before the brood test?

      @DayaInTheSun what were the shortness of breath symptoms for you ? And did they come on all of a sudden or was it a gradual increase in said symptoms?

      Shortness Of Breath (the "sighs")?

      By DayaInTheSun · Posted

      I had shortness of breath so much so I went to a lung doctor. I told him I get short of breath wirh certain foods, he said “Food doesn’t affect hour breathing.” I told him maybe it was an allergy  he cut me off then said “Food allergies don’t cause shortness of breathe.” I beg to differ as soon as I figured out what foods were causing my shortness of breath it went away. I also never saw him again as he was rude, condescending? And refuse to listen to me kept dismissing my problems as “you’re young.” I cut out Soy, dairy, sesame, eggs, and of course gluten. I stopped being short of breath, going on a two years now. No thanks to the doctor I saw. Figured it out on my own.
