My hubby and I went to a fancy shmancy dinner last night at Open Original Shared Link. It was wonderful!!! I had the polenta which looked to me like a vegan/gluten free option to begin with. I called ahead to make sure it would be ok and they took great care of us when we were dining.

They remembered that I was the person with the "issue" and they told me what they were going to do differently with my meal. I did not even bringing it up while at the restaurant. They had a plan!!! That included: baking not frying the polenta so there would be no cc with the oil and leaving off a vinegar drizzle because they didn't know if it was distilled or not. It was awesome.

Also. . .I was treated really well at Legal Seafood last weekend. They have a ton of gluten-free options as I am sure everyone in MA already knows about. I was happy they happened to have a vegan/gluten-free option too. It is good to know there are friendly places I can go with other people. The manger there looked like a secret service agent with a little earpiece and a suit. He was really nice and came over without me asking just to make sure everything was cool.

thumbs up!

yay! I also should add I did not feel sick aferwards :)

I am glad you'll now give it a try, hopefully you will really like it, too! Just tell them about making your meal gluten-free when you make the reservation and remind your server if they happen not to remember (but they should). There might be other gluten-free options besides the delicious polenta. I am not sure since I wanted the veg one to begin with. My hubby enjoyed shrimp that came with veggies and mashed potato, so it seemed gluten-free other than whatever was in the sauces. It is a worth an inquiry to see all your options there.

one more thing: make reservations well in advance.

enjoy!

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      A lot to think about here. Does anyone have any recommendations for third party laboratories that will do full panel celiac screens private pay in the U.S.?
