Football Goes Gluten Free

In preparation for going to the Ohio State Football game this Saturday, I was reviewing the stadium policies.   Previously I have brought my own food and cleared it through security.   I was completely surprised to read that the stadium is now providing a designated gluten free food cart.  

 

THIS is a great thing for celiacs and hopefully a trend for all sporting events.

That is great news.  Where I live we have two athletic stadiums that have gluten free offerings.  The baseball stadium has Bard's beer, gluten-free hot dog buns and bbq nachos that are to die for.  They also have salads and huge fruit cups, as well as standard stadium fare like cotton candy, ice cream and popcorn.  I spoke to the catering manager there and he was so friendly and helpful.  I haven't been to the basketball arena yet, but a friend was telling me they had a gluten free stand inside. 

 

On the down side, the arena that our local hockey team plays at has nothing gluten free except popcorn and cotton candy.  It is awful.  Everything there is fried and gluteny.  It's a heart attack waiting to happen.  I think the difference is that the baseball and basketball stadiums are located in an urban area and the hockey stadium is across the state lines in a more rural area. 

 

I think as more and more people eat healthier (not just gluten-free), more places will have to accomodate them with things like gluten-free foods, salads, etc.  I'm glad that you'll have some place to eat while you enjoy the game.

I might have to go out and buy an Ohio State hat today just because of this...  That's really awesome...

Hold off on that cap!  I looked for the cart where they said it would be, no cart and no one in the area had seen it.  I was really disappointed AND hungry :).

Oh no, I hope you had some backup snacks with you so you didn't starve.  That's disappointing.

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      @Mari, did you read that second article that Scott linked? It is the most recently date one. "Researchers comparing rates of headaches, including migraines, among celiac patients and a healthy control group showed that celiac subjects experienced higher rates of headaches than control subjects, with the greatest rates of migraines found in celiac women.  Additionally, celiacs had higher rates of migraine than control subjects, especially in women. In fact, four out of five women with celiac disease suffered from migraines, and without aura nearly three-quarters of the time."

      As far as I know and I have made severalonline searches, celiac disease disease has not been recognized as a cause of migraines or any eye problems. What I wrote must have been confusing.

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      Interesting, when I suffered for a few months with ectopics I noticed that carbohydrates would cause indigestion and bloating in my stomach, then that would lead to my heart skipping beats, and I could feel it in my throat, it was very unsettling.  My last serious bout of this was after eating a Muller Rice Pudding for breakfast.   I happened to be wearing a 48 hour halter at the time and cardiology picked it up, but they weren't worried about what they saw. There was some British doctor who'd made some videos on the Vagus nerve that I remember watching at the time which made sense of what I was experiencing, there did seem to be some sort of connection.

      I asked my cardiologist about stopping vitamins.  He said his tests account for all detectable vitamins from sources other than food.  I only need to stop them for a couple of days.  He has me keep records of meds and vitamins I've ingested over the past 10 days and prior and he does his calculations.
