One of the on line search's for Bed and Breakfasts, innseekers.com, now lists gluten free meals as one of the search options! Just for the heck of it, I did a search on Maryland (my state) and found 2 B&B's that state they can serve gluten free meals. I would suggest you talk to then personally and verify chances of cross contamination, etc. but still - the fact that they'll advertise this and that it's one of the search options is great! Shows the word is getting out, and people are becoming more aware of it!!!!

I've searched that before and I think it is totally cool!

I plan to use it sometime so that they know it is a good thing to keep on their site. We all should try it out and keep it going, maybe more places will start offering gluten-free meals.

Five places came up in GA which astounded me. There is one very close to me that would be nice to visit when the leaves turn. But one place I e-mailed - sorry forgot where but I think in TN - replied that yes they can make a gluten free breakfast and besides eggs, they make pancakes with gluten free baking powder...I did not ask what she meant but I hope it was a typo and she meant gluten free flour or mix. I got a chuckle out of it anyhow and as noted above - be sure to question whether they really know what gluten free is.

Only one place on that site came up as totally gluten free and that's the Chicken Paradise in San Antonio TX. They even offer gluten free scones..............yum!

I noticed this post and just wanted to share another great bed & breakfast that does gluten free stuff.

It opened last april, it's called The King's Daughter's Inn and is in Durham, NC across the street from east campus of Duke university.

I can promise they can make you amazing gluten free breakfasts as my sister is the owner and all gluten free recipes have been tested by me and my severe gluten intolerance. She has also had to listen to my repeated lectures on cross contamination etc. etc. and has a separate set of pans that never touch wheat to accommodate her gluten-free guests.

website is at: www.kingsdaughtersinn.com and I can promise you it's an amazing place to stay!

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      @klmgarland, My dermatitis herpetiformis didn't clear up until I became meticulous about cross contamination. I cut out gluten-free oats and all gluten-free foods, dairy and gluten-free rice. Additionally, getting the right amount of protein for my body weight helped significantly in my body's healing process ... along with supplementing with enough of all the vitamins and minerals ... especially Zinc and Magnesium. I went from 70kg to 82kg in a year. Protein with each meal 3 times daily, especially eggs at breakfast made the difference. I'm not sure whether iodine was a problem for me, but I can tolerate iodine no problem now. I'm off Dapsone and feel great. Not a sign of an itch. So there is hope. I'm not advocating for the use of Dapsone, but it can bring a huge amount of relief despite it's effect on red blood cells. The itch is so distracting and debilitating. I tried many times to get off it, it wasn't until I implemented the changes above and was consistent that I got off it. Dermatitis Herpetiformis is horrible, I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By klmgarland · Posted

      Thank you so very much Scott.  Just having someone understand my situation is so very helpful.  If I have one more family member ask me how my little itchy skin thing is going and can't you just take a pill and it will go away and just a little bit of gluten can't hurt you!!!! I think I will scream!!

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is difficult to do the detective work of tracking down hidden sources of cross-contamination. The scenarios you described—the kiss, the dish towel, the toaster, the grandbaby's fingers—are all classic ways those with dermatitis herpetiformis might get glutened, and it's a brutal learning curve that the medical world rarely prepares you for. It is difficult to have to deal with such hyper-vigilance. The fact that you have made your entire home environment, from makeup to cleaners, gluten-free is a big achievement, but it's clear the external world and shared spaces remain a minefield. Considering Dapsone is a logical and often necessary step for many with DH to break the cycle of itching and allow the skin to heal while you continue your detective work; it is a powerful tool to give you back your quality of life and sleep. You are not failing; you are fighting an incredibly steep battle. For a more specific direction, connecting with a dedicated celiac support group (online or locally) can be invaluable, as members exchange the most current, real-world tips for avoiding cross-contamination that you simply won't find in a pamphlet. You have already done the hardest part by getting a correct diagnosis. Now, the community can help you navigate the rest. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      My only proof

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's very frustrating to be dismissed by medical professionals, especially when you are the one living with the reality of your condition every day. Having to be your own advocate and "fight" for a doctor who will listen is an exhausting burden that no one should have to carry. While that 1998 brochure is a crucial piece of your personal history, it's infuriating that the medical system often requires more contemporary, formal documentation to take a condition seriously. It's a common and deeply unfair situation for those who were diagnosed decades ago, before current record-keeping and testing were standard. You are not alone in this struggle.

      Methylprednisone treatment for inflammation?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Methylprednisolone is sometimes prescribed for significant inflammation of the stomach and intestines, particularly for conditions like Crohn's disease, certain types of severe colitis, or autoimmune-related gastrointestinal inflammation. As a corticosteroid, it works by powerfully and quickly suppressing the immune system's inflammatory response. For many people, it can be very effective at reducing inflammation and providing rapid relief from symptoms like pain, diarrhea, and bleeding, often serving as a short-term "rescue" treatment to bring a severe flare under control. However, experiences can vary, and its effectiveness depends heavily on the specific cause of the inflammation. It's also important to be aware that while it can work well, it comes with potential side effects, especially with longer-term use, so it's typically used for the shortest duration possible under close medical supervision. It's always best to discuss the potential benefits and risks specific to your situation with your gastroenterologist.
