Great Experience

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.

      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.
