went out to a show with my daughter (and shopping lolz!) and i noticed there was a restaurant within walking distance of the venue.  also, the chef is featured on our local news program and i noticed he cooks with simple ingredients <in stainless steel :)  so i called to see if they could accommodate serious gluten-free.  i told them i was not on a fad diet and if i got gluten i would get really sick.  they put the manager on the phone and he assured me everything would be safe.  we got there and were seated and were given 'regular' menus.  i asked the waitress what would be safe (we were each getting a salad and wanted to split a full order of oysters 'rockefeller' )  she brought me out a menu all marked off how to order everything.  coolio.  so we got our salads - absolutely delicious - dressing was house made yum yum yum!  then they bring out the oysters - with a big pile of saltines plopped right in the middle!!  i freaked out!  she apologized all over the place, left the contaminated ones (and encouraged my daughter to eat them - she is not celiac) (BIG DEAL PAY ATTENTION - IF YOU EVER HAVE TO SEND SOMETHING BACK, KEEP THE CONTAMINATED ONE UNTIL THEY BRING YOU NEW SO THEY DON'T JUST PICK THE GLUTEN OFF AND BRING THE SAME DISH BACK)  they brought me a whole new dozen and they were deeee-licious.  and safe.  just about everything on the menu was marked could be made gluten-free.  i highly recommend this place.  and they didn't make me feel all uncomfortable about getting what i needed.  i don't eat out much - hardly at all - but when i do, it's sooo nice not to have to fingerprint even one meal now and again!

 

and ps - the next time the guy was on the news channel, he made shrimp and grits and emphasized that it could very easily be made gluten free.  he must have been paying attention :)

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
