The Comus Inn At Sugarloaf Mountain (Md)

I was a guest at a wedding recently and the reception was the Comus Inn. The Chef was amazing --just wanted a list of my restrictions in advance, said she'd prepared gluten-free meals previously and no fuss was made about it. The server knew what table I was at, very discreetly asked which guest I was as she brought out the first course and always served me from the tray first. Best of all the Chef basically just adjusted the meal I received so it was pretty much the same as everyone else's -- gorgeous salad but I had oil/vinegar while the others had dressing already applied; steak with roasted potatoes and asparagus but no crab cake (no problem...never liked crab cakes anyway!); sorbet which I honestly didn't eat because I was stuffed at that point. Of course I didn't have cake but that was ok. Honestly, it felt like a 'normal' out to dinner experience: no long explanations, grilling on ingredients/preparation or people wondering why my plate contained different items. I felt great the next day except for being tired since I was up past my normal bedtime. 8-)

The location is gorgeous so if you are in the DC-area and want to go someplace for a 'special' dinner I would highly recommend it. I think the advance prep was key to having it all go smoothly so definitely call ahead.

      Thiamine supplementation

      By Celiac16 · Posted

      Thanks @Scott AdamsYes I alternate between forms just to experiment. I definitely agree that there are probably a variety of nutrients I am probably lacking too. I forgot to mention @Sultana that I also experienced symptoms of acidosis that resolved with continuous thiamine supplementation- my bloodwork showed slightly elevated anion gaps (sign of acidosis) and elevated lactic acid (same) and was experiencing shortness of breath, tachycardia, etc that was dismissed as anxiety as it wasn’t off the charts enough… (I too went to the ER bc I felt so awful). When I was discharged home, I took the b1 and symptoms resolved.. After researching, I found studies by Dr Constantini with high dose thiamine for fatigue in IBD. (He did studies for many chronic diseases which were ameliorated by “high” dose b1). I’m not sure how reliable it is but I’ve read a lot of articles by Dr Lonsdale formally of the Cleveland clinic who did a lot of research into thiamine- apparently the sulfur component of thiamine promotes the excretion of metals ( whether good or bad, so manganese might be effected)… id like to cover my bases with a multivitamin but they usually make me feel off( Its a rabbit hole trying to find a good one - I know I don’t tolerate methylated forms and there are many variables it’s hard to narrow it down…) I take breaks with b1 too when the effects wear off but have come back to it repeatedly with renewed symptom relief. I’ve started to monitor my blood glucose at home too and it definitely lowers it.

      Can you get more EBT benefits if you have celiac disease?

      Hello @brian1 I'm a UK based Moderator here on the forum.  If you are British, you may find that in your region you might be able to get certain gluten-free food (usually staples like bread) on prescription.  I recommend you ring Coeliac UK for the most up-to-date advice on this. https://www.coeliac.org.uk/home/ There is some advice here for UK coeliacs which might also be of use, on how to best navigate the gluten-free diet on a budget. https://www.coeliac.org.uk/information-and-support/living-gluten-free/the-gluten-free-diet/gluten-free-diet-on-a-budget/ I am afraid I don't know anything about the benefits you mention but maybe the charity can help?

      Legumes can be a source of wheat contamination, but I assume that you use versions labelled "gluten-free."

      Thiamine supplementation

      You may want to look into Benfotiamine, which is the fat soluble version of B1.

      Waiting for urgent referral.

      Be sure all testing is completed before going gluten-free, that is, unless you are certain that gluten is the culprit and have decided not to eat it again. 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.):
