Traveling.......

I will soon be traveling to NC and have to drive back and forth a couple of times over 1000miles round trip. I usually eat at Dennys and places like that.........just wondering if there's a site that lists places on routes etc, or if anyone can recommend particular fast food places that are useful?

gluten free  registry,  gluten free roads,find  me gluten free to name a  few....chick-fi -la  , Wendy's,  red robin, arby's , burger  king, chipotle, five  guys,  to name a few  fast food  joints......that  have a gluten-free  menu.... we  use the  first  two .....

I  suggest that  you  carry  along  a gluten-free  goodie  bag  for  a just in  case scenario...

many  motels  have  the  fast  breakfast  bar,  take  your  own  cereal, bread  ,  muffin  &  a  toasta  bag  so  you  could  have  breakfast  their.. they usually  have  yogurt, fruit, jellies, cream cheese   that  you can use... We  take  instant  gluten-free  oatmeal, cereal  &  a  variety  of  gluten-free  bread  items plus  the toasta  bag.... plus if  you  have  a gluten-free  bread  or  bun  you  can go to a deli &  buy a  slice  of  cheese  & a few slices  of a gluten-free  deli meat  for  a  lunch  .....anything  you  can put  in a microwave  gluten-free  is  a good  idea  as  many times  a micro  is  in  room  or  where  you  stop  for  gas  usually  has  one.....just  make  sure   its  clean  to  heat  up  your  food  which  would  anyway  be  in a  container  or in a  toasta  bag.... 

A goodie  bag  can be  jerky,  veggies, fruits,  snacks, canned  tuna , canned salmon,candy, nuts,  rice  cakes with  peanut  butter, dinty moore  beef  stew   ( which can be  eaten  cold)applesauce  pouches, crackers, hummus, cheese.... one  never  knows  when  traveling  on the  highway when  they  can easily become  stranded  for one  reason or  another... 

Be Prepared alsways  is  my best  advice.....

      Maybe celiac but maybe NCGS that was misdiagnosed as IBS morphing gradually into celiac. Is NCGS a new category to you? It shares many of the same GI symptoms with celiac disease but does not damage the small bowel lining like celiac.

      Thiamine has antifungal properties.  The body uses thiamine to keep bacteria and yeasts from overgrowth in the digestive system.   Fluconazole use can cause thiamine deficiency.   Supplementing with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine would be beneficial as Benfotiamine promotes intestinal healing.   Thiamine and the other B vitamins tend to be low in Celiac due to malabsorption.  Talk to your doctor about supplementing vitamins and minerals.

      Welcome @Natalia Revelo, your experience is profoundly difficult and, sadly, not entirely unique within the celiac community. It's the frustrating reality of "silent" or ongoing damage that isn't captured by the MARSH score alone, which only measures active villous atrophy. Your normal biopsy suggests your diet is preventing the classic autoimmune attack, but it doesn't mean your gut has fully healed or that other issues aren't at play. The inflammation from your newly discovered milk and egg allergies is a huge clue; this constant allergic response can create a low-grade inflammatory environment that severely hampers nutrient absorption, effectively creating a "leaky gut" scenario independent of celiac damage. This is likely why your iron stores deplete so rapidly—your body is both unable to absorb it efficiently and may be losing it through inflammation. While the functional medicine path is expensive, it's clearly providing answers and relief that traditional gastroenterology, focused solely on the gluten-free diet and biopsy results, is missing. To move forward, continue the gut-healing protocols your functional doctor recommends (perhaps exploring alternative options to glutamine that won't irritate your cystitis), maintain your strict avoidance of all allergens and irritants, and know that true healing is a multi-faceted process. You might seek a second opinion from a different gastroenterologist who is more knowledgeable about non-responsive celiac disease and the complex interplay of food allergies and micronutrient absorption, but your current path, while costly, seems to be leading you toward the steady health you need.

      Have you had a DNA test to look for Celiac disease genes?  If she doesn't have any celiac specific genes, look for another explanation.  If she does have Celiac genes, assume they are turned on and active Celiac disease is progressing.  All first degree relatives (mother, father, siblings, children) should be genetically tested as well.   Sometimes blood tests are ambiguous or false negatives if one has anemia, diabetes or thiamine deficiency.  Certain medications like antihistamines and steroids can suppress the immune system and result in false negatives or ambiguous results on antibody tests.

      That was just the visual report, so need to wait for confirmation or otherwise from the results. They did take a biopsy from the upper end of the duodenum(D1). D2 looked unremarkable on the camera. Just wish we didn’t have to wait so long for the results as she’s naturally a very anxious person. But thanks so much for taking the time to answer me
