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 :)

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      You’re raising a very real and very well-documented problem, and you’re absolutely right to be frustrated. Medication labeling is a major blind spot for people with celiac disease, because unlike food, drug manufacturers are not required to clearly disclose the source of binders, fillers, or excipients—even when they may be derived from wheat. That puts ...

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Trip to Anaheim/Disney

      By Seaperky · Posted

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
