Wonderful Dinner

We were at a Kennel Club Christmas dinner party last night at the Sandman Inn, and it was so wonderful that some of the people sitting near me asked the server why they couldn't have what I was having :D

I called the kitchen manager a couple weeks ago, and went over the diet and ordered my dinner. Then she called me back a few days before the party to see what I could have for dessert.

When we got there she came out to ask if the chef could saute some mushrooms for me in butter and pure garlic. And of course I said yes. Anyway, my dinner came out with a small steak (medium), baked potato, bright green broccoli and a whole bunch of sauted button mushrooms. It was absolutely delicious and I've had not one single blister, or any digestive reactions! :P Oh yes ... a beautiful plate of fresh fruit artistically organized followed.

What a wonderful evening with friends and good food!

The club paid for all the wine $400 worth :lol: That's for 24 of us .. not just me. The weather was perfect with bright stars, sparkly snow on the sides and bare roads. And the hour drive into town was super with all the pretty Christmas lights. I'm just thrilled :D

It's so fun to know that we really can go out with a group and have a great time safely. Things really are getting better! I've seen much more awareness in restaurants in the last couple of years. I think Celiac Disease is starting to penetrate the hospitality business, perhaps even faster than the medical business. :rolleyes:

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      I agree with @trents, but thank you for bringing this up here!

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Hi @trents, yes I've had my levels checked in Dec 2025 which revealed vit D deficiency. I considered eggs although they only contain about 45 IU vitamin D/egg. I need 2000 IU vitamin D for maintenance as per my doctor. Although now, I likely need way more than that to treat the deficiency. My doctor has yet to advise me on dosing for deficiency. I've also considered cod liver oil, although again, if it's processed in a facility that has gluten, especially on flour form, I worried to test it, even if they have protocols in place to mitigate cross-contamination with gluten.

      Welcome to celiac.com, @Jane02! Have you had your serum D levels checked for deficiency/sufficiency? What about cod liver oil? Egg yolks can also be a good source of vitamin D.

      Hello, I'm very discouraged. I've been trying to find a safe vitamin mineral supplement brand for months and am tired of testing one after the other and experiencing my typical 'glutening' reactions. I'm really feeling the nutritional deficiencies set in. I'm doing the best I can to get these nutrients from my food, although it's impossible for me to intake enough vitamin D as I can't have dairy and have insufficient sun exposure in the northern hemisphere. I've tried B Complex from Country Life (certified gluten-free) - horrible reaction. I've tried Metagenics vitamin D tab (certified glute-free) - bad reaction. I've tried liquid vitamin D Thorne and D Drops - reactions were mild since I tried a drop of a drop. I understand there could be other things I'm reacting to in my diet, although my diet/intake is pretty consistent with minimal variables so I do think it's something in these supplements. I understand I could be reacting to the active ingredient vitamin/mineral itself or even the filler ingredients. I tried the vitamin D drops since the only filler ingredient is coconut oil, in some brands, which I know I can tolerate really well on its own - I cook with coconut oil frequently and have no 'glutening' reactions at all. Perhaps I'm reacting to the vitamin D itself, although I eat fatty fish every few days, an entire fillet with no 'glutening' reactions, which contains anywhere between 400-600 IU per fillet so I shouldn't be sensitive to vitamin D. All this to say, I'm desperately looking for at least a safe vitamin D supplement. Does anyone know of a safe vitamin D supplement brand? I'd love to know if there are any supplement brands that have absolutely no gluten (especially in flour form) in their facilities. I've heard of Kirkman having no grains in their facility - I may try this brand. Has anyone reacted to this brand?

      Welcome to the celiac.com communiuty, @Matthias! Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products containing yeast because of the fact that they are sometimes cultured on gluten-containing substrate.
