Staying At Extended Family's House For A Week

Recommended Posts

EmiPark210 Contributor

Starting on Thursday, I'm going to be staying with my cousin, aunt and uncle in Vegas for about a week. My cousin is graduating from college so there are going to be about 30 people in the house during the day and for a lot of the meals, especially during the weekend. I'm bringing foil, soy sauce, cutting boards, and pastas to get me through till my parents will be there on Saturday and we can go to the grocery store. They're being really great about listening to what needs to happen including finding gluten free cupcakes for the graduation celebration and notifying the restaurant (they already have a gluten-free menu) and asking lots of questions. And I'm already planning on spending a lot of time in the kitchen so I know exactly what's safe and what's not.

 

Is there anything I'm missing?

What about a strainer? I have one that is smaller and more of a scooper (kinda like a ladle) i use when i've only made a little bit.

Sounds like you're armed and dangerous to wicked gluten.    Way to go!!!    My only suggestion would be to  add easy snacks, like sunflower seeds or nuts.

I'm thinking like Marilyn- some filling snacks.  More than you could need just incase things don't work out the way you think it will.

      Of course, I thought about the OP not being consistent with the gluten-free diet and about cross reactivity. But you would think those things would show some damage in the biopsy, especially as severe as the symptoms seem to be. SIBO? Perhaps. But then we are probably leaving a celiac diagnosis and that is the question.

      Processed meats and formed meats, like sausage, sandwich meats, chicken nuggets, contain "meat glue" to hold their shape.   This "meat glue" is produced by bacteria and called microbial transglutaminase.  It's the same structually as tissue transglutaminase that our bodies produce in response to gluten.  Microbial transglutaminase provokes the same autoimmune reaction in our bodies as if we had eaten gluten.   Microbial transglutaminase is also used in dairy products like yogurt.   Bacon is high in histamine.  Eating high histamine foods can cause continuing gastrointestinal symptoms.  A low histamine diet helps. Processed gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins and minerals like gluten containing products are.   Deficiencies in Thiamine B1, Niacin B3, and  Vitamin C can also result in gastrointestinal symptoms.   Blood tests for B vitamins are not accurate because they don't measure the amount of a vitamin stored inside cells.  The blood is a transportation system delivering vitamins from the digestive tract around the body.  What's on a truck doesn't tell you that the warehouse is almost empty.   Supplementing with B vitamins is important!

      How clean is her gluten free diet?  Is dairy included? Does she eat out?  SIBO?  Thiamine deficiency presenting as Gastrointestinal Beriberi?

      There's more essential vitamins than B12 and Vitamin D!   Thiamine is B1.  Thiamine deficiency causes insomnia. Thiamine deficiency causes changes in brain function resulting in anxiety, insomnia, depression and dementia.  The brain uses more thiamine when stressed emotionally or physically.   Interesting Reading: Subclinical Thiamine deficiency causes anxiety, insomnia and depression... https://www.psychiatryredefined.org/running-on-empty-subclinical-thiamine-deficiency-is-common-and-causes-depression/#:~:text=Early signs of low thiamine,low appetite%2C and sleep disruption.

      But knitty kitty, if OP does have celiac disease, why aren't her symptoms in abatement after practicing the gluten free diet for four years? If the OP was a refractory celiac, you would think the biopsy wouldn't be clean.
