HI

I have an aquaintence who is vegan and celiac. She is actually from another board (endometriosis that I moderate). Anyhow, she is coming to East Lansing, MIchigan and I wondered what was available that was both vegan and celiac as far as restraunts go?

My brother lives there and he told me we went to Carraba's Italian Grill... they menu is on line so you can check it out and see if there's something she'd like.

i wouldn't recommend carraba's... i am dairy free (like vegans) and find pretty much nothing to eat on their gluten-free menu, and it's laden with many cheeses! sans cheese and meat = just some veggies. it was really tough there.

You may just want to ask your friend for suggestions as to what she generally eats. I imagine that any place with a good salad and an ability to mix it in a fresh bowl with oil and vinegar would probably be a good bet. If not, you might want to go with some sort of reliable Asian place (for tofu/rice dishes) and bring your own gluten free soy sauce. I have a friend who's vegan, and when she came to visit, there was almost nothing in common that we could both eat, so we went grocery shopping together and just cooked our separate stuff and ate it together. Sorry I don't have better advice--it takes so much dedication and vigilance to remain on the gluten free diet that I can't imagine further restricting foods.

      Iron supplements - Bowel upsets

      By trents · Posted

      Concerning dosage, I found this: https://patient-info.co.uk/sodium-feredetate-190-mg-5ml-oral-solution-88092/summary-of-medicine-characteristics Age 6 – 24 months: 12.5 mg Age 2 – 5 years: 20–30 mg Age 6 – 11 years: 30 – 60 mg   But these dosages are in mg, not ml.

      Iron supplements - Bowel upsets

      By sh00148 · Posted

      Thank you. I’ve also just looked on the NICE website and it recommends a much lower dose for her age. She’s currently take 7.5 ml in total a day and the recommendation is 4ml and if not tolerated she should try alternate days. It may explain why she’s has such a loose bowel. I’m not concerned about the black poo, but more the frequency and consistency. It’s not fair on her. She has been saying she feels a little sick today so that may be a side effect… I never know with her as she had such bad tummy pains and issues before she was diagnosed. Her levels were at the highest possible and she was vomiting regularly so she often talks about sick.

      Iron supplements - Bowel upsets

      By trents · Posted

      It is "chelated" to improve absorption but not buffered from what I can tell. What she is taking is an appropriate pediatric iron supplement product. By the way, it is normal for iron supplementation to turn poo black. That is not a worry per se. But iron supplementation can cause an upset tummy. Iron can irritate the mucosal lining of the tummy and the gut. Is she complaining of pain or discomfort? The irritation is probably causing her to frequent toileting. Check with your physician about a buffered iron product for children. "Slow iron" products (you can get them over the counter) are buffered and help reduce irritation. Not sure if they are appropriate in dosage, however, for children and if you cut them you destroy the buffered coating. But I certainly would get her B12 levels checked if you haven't.

      Gluten free wheat flour????

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is likely made with Codex quality wheat starch which has been used in Europe in gluten-free products for decades, but is relatively new in the USA (after recent changes to labeling laws here). If labeled gluten-free it must be under 20 ppm, and is safe for most celiacs, but some report reactions to it.  We have a category of articles dedicated to this if you're interested in learning more...they go back to the mid-1990's: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/miscellaneous-information-on-celiac-disease/gluten-free-diet-celiac-disease-amp-codex-alimentarius-wheat-starch/
