Okay so me and the BF decided to go to the city on last thursady. We went into Penn station (w 34st) and the walked up to the Museum of Natural History (w 81st) we could have taken the subway but it was such a beautiful day that we decided to walk. After the museum we went down to (w71st) where Sambuca was located.

I walk in and asked about the gluten-free menu, and the manager happened to be standing right there and he was like sure here you go and sat us right away. It was an italian style meals and the food was AMAZING!!!!!! IT WAS SO SO SO SO GOOD! We ended up just eating right from the gluten-free menu because it was family size porpotions. We orded a chicken dish and a pasta dish. we did feel slightly under dressed, but its okay because it NYC and people expect that because of tourtist. The meal was about 85 (including tip) for two people and we only ordered two glasses of wine. We also ended up spliting the dessert. It was this amazing chocolate brownie!

The entire meal was amazing even the bread was great. So at the end, he puts these two mints on the table and I asked him is that gluten-free and he was like we called them and they can not garuntee that it is.....so the dumba$$ that I am I pop it in my mouth. We let me tell you by the time I got back to Penn Station, I felt so sick. And now 3 days later I still feel horrible.

I would def. go back there in a heartbeat and if anyone does go DONT EAT THE MINTS!

I have eaten at Sambuca several times pre-dx and always loved it. When I was first diagnosed and found out they had a gluten-free menu I was so psyched. I actually have yet to go there since being diagnosed but I will. :)

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      CT with contrast.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
