Service Trip To Honduras?

Hello everyone!

I just found out I got accepted to go on a service trip to Honduras in March, which I am so excited about. The first question from all of my relatives was about food. Because of where we'll be staying, I can't expect them to have food for me (if they do, it'll be a coincidence).

Does anyone know if you can bring prepacked food (like Lara bars) with you? Otherwise, any suggestions? (People on the selection committee knew I had Celiac (or at least that I was allergic to beer) when I applied, so I can afford to be a little high maintenance, but not very).

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Erin

      Still testing positive after being gluten free for one year ?!!

      By Shireen32 · Posted

      Hi , since being gluten free I am still having bad stomach problems . Such as constant gas in my stomach 24/7 ,burning, constant bubbling noises coming from my stomach and gurgling sounds that never stop .Pain under the left side of my rib cage when ever I eat and just always there’s pain there  .  My symptoms have not improved at all since being gluten free.  Could this be refractory coeliac disease ?? How is that even diagnosed or confirmed  ?  I had tests recently and this is what they say :Endomysial abs (IgA) -Positive  TTG abs (IgA)U/ml : My result is : 0.9 U/ml The Range:0 - 10 U/ml What does this mean pls ??? How can I still test positive for Endomysial abs when I am gluten free and am very careful about cross contamination? Do I even have coeliac disease I’m convinced some other digestive disorder is causing these symptoms .   I also have not had a endoscopy and now the gastroenterologist calls me after one year ( I’m from the uk and have free healthcare which has been such a nightmare with all this and never help me  )  so as I am gluten free the gastroenterologist advised me to start eating gluten again to be referred for a biopsy .. Is a biopsy even worth me doing ? The only proof I have is when I was eating gluten I could never get my ferretin , vitamin d and folate levels up . And since being gluten free these have gone up a little bit  . But that doesn’t always mean coeliac as I know gluten stops absorption in even normal people  . Pls can anyone shed some light it’s much needed ! And share some advice or answer my questions above . I have no idea with this whole coeliac stuff and am very much struggling .Much Appreciated .

      Vitamin D deficiency.  Not enough Omega Threes. Another autoimmune disease like arthritis, maybe.

      @RMJ it makes sense as it’s something I’ve experienced more than once. Currently 24 weeks and baby is doing well! Will be seeking more medical advice today
