A Free Trip To Cancun?!?

My parents have offered to take me (and my daughter) to Cancun in November for a family wedding. They are not sure of the resort/hotel we'd be staying at yet, so I can't call ahead and ask all those fun questions. But, assuming they pick the hotel and I can call and be assured... how can I pass this up?

Would you go? What questions should I ask the hotel?

Of course you should go, Ev! See if they will allow you to have a little fridge in your room, and if maybe you are able to have a microwave or even a small stove or hot plate. Then you are able to keep yourself and your daughter safe in case you can't find a safe restaurant.

Maybe you can get a housekeeping suite/cottage or something like that. That would be ideal. Check out places to shop for the stuff you need there over the Internet, and bring what you won't be able to buy there. If everything else fails, you will just have to eat plain, naturally safe food. Which isn't the end of the world, either. It should be fun!

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      Simple Mills and Made Good Foods Products May Contain Gluten Levels Above the FDA's Allowable Limit of 20 ppm

      yes, definitely old news by now. I posted in response to a reply posted on this topic this week. Sticking with the original story, I googled product recalls related to MAM's original claims. Did not see any so I am guessing MAM's claims of gluten contamination did not hold up to scrutiny. Trying to be objective about that whole controversy, to me GFW...

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      I'm 63 and was diagnosed in 2010. Prior to diagnosis I was suspected of having to strokes and medicated according each time. A neurologist called me in to discuss my scan. From that discussion I had a camera down and celiac disease was confirmed. I suffered continued pain and numbness down my left side and was offered amitriptyline, and antidepressants that...

      @jenniber, it would be pointless for your brother to get tested for celiac disease if he has already gone gluten free. Doing so invalidates the testing. He would need to undergo a "gluten challenge". That is, he would need to go back to consuming generous amounts of gluten (at least 10g daily, or the amount found in about 4-6 slices of wheat-based bread)...

      I'm 63 and was diagnosed in 2010. Prior to diagnosis I was suspected of having to strokes and medicated according each time. A neurologist called me in to discuss my scan. From that discussion I had a camera down and celiac disease was confirmed. I suffered continued pain and numbness down my left side and was offered amitriptyline, and antidepressants that was also diagnosed for nerve pain. I said no as I didn't want the stigma of being on antidepressants. Seven years later I begged my GP to prescribe them and my life was changed almost immediately. If I'm glutened accidentally whilst eating out then my nerves pain/symptoms get worse but it's nothing compared to taking the medication and feeling a little drowsy every now and then.  The best of luck for the future.

He would need to undergo a "gluten challenge". That is, he would need to go back to consuming generous amounts of gluten (at least 10g daily, or the amount found in about 4-6 slices of wheat-based bread) for several weeks leading up to the day of the blood draw.

      How much gluten do I need to eat prior to testing?

      By trents · Posted

      Yes, that might work as well.
