Royal Carribean Cruises

Hey all!

I am back from my 12 day Baltic cruise. Hats off to Royal Carribean for going out of their way to make us safe. For snacks they offered Udi's pizza, fruit and packaged Udi's cookies at the 24 hour coffee shop. Ate all meals in the dining room. Two head waiters took really good care of us. They even talked to us about food selections and cc safety. I highly recommend RC for a great gluten-free experience. They even baked gluten-free muffins and bread for us!

We did get glutened once, but I think it occurred in St. Petersburg while on a tour. I recovered quickly from that CC episode. Hubby and I did well during our two weeks in Great Britain too thanks to everyone's input! We dined many mornings at Costa's Coffee where they had gluten-free chicken wraps and brownies that were really good. Ate a lot of tailgate meals from M & S, TESCO and Sainbury's too. Stayed at gluten-free Bed and Breakfast Inns and carried bread and toaster bags for those that were not dedicated inns. Even had Fish and Chips!

Airline food (pre-ordered) was horrible. A gluten-free tin of food marked with a Sharpie but served with crackers and a roll made from wheat? We passed! Carried food with us.

Had a fabulous time, overall!

Good to hear!  We have also been on two Royal Caribbean cruises with our celiac daughter.  One was to the Mediterranean and the other the Caribbean.  Both were very good with gluten free awareness and availability.  On our last cruise 2 years ago gluten-free was marked on the menu which was even better.  The bread wasn't great though.  Shame about the airline food, what airline was it?   We have had good experiences with Singapore Airlines and Air New Zealand even if the meals all seemed to be the standard rice with chicken.

      Lymph nodes

      By Soleihey · Posted

      Has anyone experimenced enlarged lymph nodes with celiac? Both in the neck and groin area. Imaging of both areas have said that lymph nodes are reactive in nature. However, they have been present for months and just wondering how long this may take to go down. Been gluten-free for about two months. Blood counts are normal.

      Hmm interesting I just assumed that any “IGA” tests including the DPG iga would be negative in a person who is IGA deficient but maybe that is not the case for the DPG test.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If you were just diagnosed I can say that if you go 100% gluten-free should should see dramatic improvement of your symptoms over the next few months, but the hard part is to stay gluten-free. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      From the article I linked above: DGP-IgA and DGP-IgG (Deamidated Gliadin Peptide) Blood Tests for Celiac Disease These tests measure the levels of antibodies in the blood, but specifically targets deamidated gliadin peptides, which are a type of gluten protein that can trigger an immune response in people with celiac disease. The test is not always included in adults, but should be in cases with IgA deficiency.  I'm not sure if this is a grammatical error or not but in the context, two tests are being spoken of together so it could be intended to say, "These tests". I'll ask Scott about that.

      No they did not run a total IGA. But wouldn’t the DPG-IGA also be negative also if I was IGA deficient? They did also run a TTG-IGG and a DPG-IGG and they were also negative.
