enclosed was a $40 gift card to the Olive Garden. *sigh*

Oh well, maybe my husband can take his mom out to lunch or something.

Oh, someone will be able to use it. I know that they have a couple of gluten-free items, but a) ew, I don't like my choices and B) I don't trust them.

Interesting, that smiley face was supposed to be a 'b' with a close parenthesis ')'. Whatever.

Yeah, they do. I've tried and I found the choices to be very bland and uninteresting. Plus, I was not impressed by the competency of their staff (I really, really hate it when I explain my needs to the waitress and she says "Oh. Ok, well would you like to start off with some breadsticks?")

I know how you feel ... my sister gave me a gift card to Buca di Beppo for Christmas, the card had a picture of a plate of spaghetti on it ... at least your realtor had her thoughts in the right place! <_< I know there's stuff at Buca, but it's the trust thing ... too many crumbs in the kitchen! Sounds like a good Christmas/birthday/anniversary gift for someone! I'd say to re-gift, then you at least get some kind of benefit from it! You can spend the $40 you would have spent on the gift on yourself! :D

Yes, it was nice of her to send it. I actually do appreciate the thought, I just wish it were a different restaurant. Oh well. Hey, maybe we can use it to bribe our friends into helping us move.

Hey there's an idea. Nothing wrong with a little bribery. It was a nice thing for her to do but I much preferred what our realator did when we bought my house. She gave us a pen and watercolor painting of the house done by a local artist.

Bummer :( I know, it reminds of you of all that beautiful gluten food, but, thought that matters :)

      Curious question

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was...

      Celiac Disease and Longevity: Can Treatment and Healing Improve Long-Term Survival?

      Thanks for the prompt reply. Interesting that blood test could be caused by other things. I am sure Dr Fincher will get to the bottom of it. I know he ate nowhere near that amt of gluten before the endoscope. Always interested in any new info abt celiac. U can not trust what is said on fb- That would be a piece of bread a day. He didn't even make that...

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was sent.I have email copies.I did one zoom call with np with team member from celiac specialist in Nov 2025 and she asked me why I wanted to know why I wanted the celiac diagnosis so bad, I sad I don't, its my life and I need revalidaion because its affecting me.KB stated well it shows you are.I asked then why am I going through all this.I was labeled unruly. Its been a celiac circus and medical has caused anxiety and depression no fault to my own other than being born with bad genetics. How is it legal for medical professionals to gaslight patients that are with an ailment coming for help to be downplayed? KB put in my records that she personally spent 120min with me and I think the zoom call was discussing celiac 80 min ONE ZOOM call.SHE is responsible for not explaining to my pcp about celiac disease am I right?

Its alarming these places are popping up in airports as well.I just saw on the news that the airport ( can't remember which  one)was going to have a fabulous smelling bakery. Not for sensitive celiacs, this can alter their health during their travel which isn't safe. More awareness really NEEDS to be promoted, so much more than just a food consumption!FYI I did write to Stanislaus to let them know my thoughts on the medical field not knowing much about celiac and how it affects one.I also did message my gi the 3 specialist names that was given on previous post on questions on celiac. I pray its not on deaf door.
