Hello,  your  post  confuses  me  a  bit.. Are  you  wanting  to have  gluten-free  foods   but  don't  care  about CC? or  are  you liking  the law  of 20 ppm?

gluten-free  foods  under 20 ppm  may not  be  safe  for all celiac...I run a gluten-free  support  group  & many  can not  eat gluten-free foods  under the20 ppm  by law  , meaning  they  have to eat  gluten-free  foods  that  are certified  gluten-free......this  disease  is like a  chameleon   all the  same  yet  so different  .....

I for  one  am  very thankful  restaurants  are  trying  to  give  a better , safer, healthier gluten-free  meal....

gluten-free food  is  the  medicine  for  some one with celiac .....gluten-free  itself  is not  healthy , until  the last  few  years  when   better  gluten-free  flours  become  known  most  of the  gluten-free  flour  blends  are rice, starches, & sugars  so I don't call that  healthy.. The newer  gluten-free  blends  often  use  nut flours, added  fiber to add  to the  protein  & less starches & sugars...

Please  explain  the Health  craze? if  you  are  talking  about  gluten-free  healthier  foods  I'm  in.....twelve  years ago I never  thought about  whether  a gluten-free  food  was  healthy I just  wanted to be able to  eat,  now  I  think  about  better gluten-free  products to  nourish  the body & keep  healthy....

I looked at the comments on Twitter. There didn't seem to be many but  they seem to be making fun of gluten free food and the people who eat it for health reasons.  Not sure how that will help educate restaurants about cc?

 

Maybe I am just too old to understand?  :ph34r:

Kareng  I didn't understand  either  at  first  I thought  they  were  mocking  the gluten-free  diet  then I  thought  when I re-read  it  I took  it  another  way  so  yes, I'm  confused... the poster  doesn't  say if they are gluten-free......

 

just  weird   , the post????

I went and looked at the Twitter stuff under that hashtag - saw 2 people making fun of gluten-free being healthy - they ate a gluten-free brownie so it must be gluten-free ha! ha! - type of comment and a guy linking to this thread here. I didn't see anything by anyone else but maybe I don't know how to find it?

 

example: "the only things i know for sure that were gluten free that i ate for breakfast were soda and a brownie."

 

 

Maybe it should be "gluten free is yummy"  - something like that

Personally, I think Celiac is a serious Disease and awareness will not improve with a hashtag that anyone can post too.  Awareness develops as Researchers, Doctors and those in the Celiac Community spread knowledge and facts.

 

I also don't think this is the proper place to drum up traffic.  These are my personal opinions.

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      The Happy Tart review

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      The Happy Tart review

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.

      Nausea

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the forum. Is the nausea associated with eating certain foods, or anything else in particular?  Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.
