For any of you Chicagoans out there - I went to Carnivale a few weeks ago and love, love, loved it. Its on Fulton near Fulton Market. You can see it from 90/94 west. Its the same building as the old club The Drink. Really big, really cool, hip atomosphere. A very nice, fun place to have dinner. a little on the expensive side - but really nice for a special occassion.

We went for a work function - and i had pretty much counted on not eating anything. My boss has celiac as well (how strange is that?!) so we sat next to each other and she gave our waiter her little dining card that explained what we could and could not have. He took it to the chef and explained that only 2 or 3 entrees on the entire menu had gluten in them. he pointed out which ones they were. We ordered the chips and guacamole. The chips were homeade but fried in their own fryer. And I swear, the guac was the best i have ever eaten. SOOOOOO good. I seriously could have just had a bowl of that guac for my meal and eaten it with a spoon.

I ordered a mixed green salad - and asked if they had balsamic for the dressing - he told me they didnt have that. But he brought me the salad anyway and said that the dressing was fresh squeezed oranges, tomatoes and some oil. it was sooooo good. Then i had the strip steak with rice and beans. awesome. My boss had the grouper with rice. Oh wow, we were in heaven.

She even more sensitive with gluten than i am - so as soon as i got to work the next day i asked how she was feeling and she was fine, and feeling great! It was so nice to actually enjoy a client dinner again and be able to participate and talk about how good the food was.

I highly recommend it!

      Could my infant son have been glutened? Hear me out.

      By trents · Posted

      Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition with a genetic base. The the potential for developing the disease is inherited. but remains latent until triggered by some stress event. Thus, there is an epigenetic component to celiac disease. Once the genes are awakened from dormancy, celiac reactions are triggered by the ingestion of gluten.

      Newbie possible glutening help

      By Beeroney · Posted

      Hi all, just ticked over into my first year gluten-free after being diagnosed last October and feeling a bit rough after a possible glutening. Diagnosed at the ripe age of 38, never been ill in my life before this so safe to say my health anxiety is now borderline unmanageable. I think I may have been glutened a week ago, since then I’ve had that familiar hot/burning feeling in my gut, gas, bloating and all the Bristol Stool chart types in one sitting. I know people are different but does this sound familiar to anyone? Stomach was churning like mad last weekend like it did when I first ill before diagnosis. Acid reflux(which was my first symptom way back when) also reared its ugly head, which I probably the worst symptoms imo. Anxiety is probably up more so as I’m leaving on holiday to USA in 3 weeks time, which would be pretty much ruined if my guts are still messed by the time we leave.  Any words of wisdom appreciated    Bryan

      This doesn't answer your question but I'm not sure if you know that this intolerance is passed down from mother to child through Cord blood and or breast milk.

      I’m having this type of MRI this afternoon,  What specifically do you want to know?  From what I’ve read, not all facilities use the same drink prep.

      By nanny marley · Posted

      Hi I've been told I need a MRI on my bowels , I was booked for a colonoscopy, but because of my sever back issues and trapped nerve it can't be done , the nurse told me I will have to have a manitol drink a hour before the scan , I'm just a bit worried has I have issues with sweeteners like even a little,  I get a weird throat and ears and I've read it is a similar substance , not sure if anyone has had one of these scans or could give me some advise on the drink prep thanks in advance 😄
