I do hope there are some people with experiance because we are thinking the same thing but with the experience of the food a couple of years ago when our son was not born at that time we've all had a lot of diarree and we were not even gluten-free! So now with our son with celiac we are also thinking if it's possible to go to an all inclusive resort.

Any way for you it is possible to come to Aruba,we have a couple of All inclusive's and you can email them with diet wishes!

I'm going to an all-inclusive on Monday, so I'll let you know when I get back how it went. :)

The basic premise of "all inclusive" always seems to me to be providing the minimum possible.

I used to travel though Tunisia when I worked in Libya (due to the air embargo) and I was often put up in all-inclusive hotels overnight. My experiences were all bad, even not being on the all-inclusive rate and my company paying normal rates... and the people seemed to come from sifferent countries every year, to me it seemed like the attitude was lets rip off these tourists this year and next year advertise in a different country.

If forced between the two I would think Cuba would be better since it has a long standing relationship with Canadian tourists and has one of the worlds best medical systems and standards of education. The main problem we seem to find travelling is often education based.... IMHO

Ok I wanted to open this thread back up and ask if anyone has gone to an all-inclusive resort down south before. I am planning on going to the Dominican Republic and staying at the Ocean Blue & Sand Golf and Beach Resorts. Anyone have any ideas?

We ended up going on a cruise with Carnival because we couldn't get straight answers from anyone.

The cruise was great and very accomodating for my hubby. Each day they provided him with fresh gluten-free bread, he pre-ordered for the next day & recieved "melting chocolate cake" every night for dessert...which tasted just like mine & is heavenly.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!
