My Risotteria Story

Only you guys will appreciate this:

Last week, I chaperoned a trip from my son's high school to NYC. While the kids were otherwise occupied, a group of us took a taxi to a restaurant recommended by another friend -- some Italian place. I'm getting out of the cab, turned around to face the rest of the group, and over their heads read the sign about two doors down:

"Risotteria"

and I yell

"OHMYGOD IT"S RISOTTERIA!" and then I bolt down the street to gawk. I get out my camera, to take pictures for my celiacs (they stayed home for this trip). It starts to pour. A guy comes OUT of Risotteria with an umbrella and holds it over my head. I am actually crying. He says

"yeah, we get this a lot"

:)

Was this last Friday by chance? Mookie and I ate there for lunch and left only a few minutes before it started pouring.

Wow that is so neat. I was planning on going into the city on Thursday (the past Thursday) that is the day when all the trains shut down b/c of something with the electric. Seems that there was some reason I fell and hurt my ankle! But my trip to Risoterria will happen!! I am determined!

      How long does it take to gain weight?

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      I had no idea there is a "Louisville" in Colorado!😉 I thought it was a typo because I always think of the Kentucky city--but good luck!
