Okay, Royal Psillies, I need to confer with you all on sumfin. We are heading to Toronto next month for three nights. It will be our March break vacation, something on the cheap side - - no big trips this year. . . . . ..the household economy won't allow it.

SOoOoooOo, we've decided to stay in a hotel, not with my brother.. . .this will be the big splurge. Hotel prices in downtown Toronto are hefty, so I checked on hotwire. There is a very tempting deal, there. The top listing:

Open Original Shared Link

The catch is that you are only given the area of the city where the hotel is, the star rating and the amenities.......not the name, and not the sleeping/bed details.

I dunno what to doooooooooo. . . . . . . ...it's a four-star with a gym, pool, free internet access in an ideal location, for 95 bucks . . . ...absolute steal. But there are four of us going, and my kids are now great big creatures - - I cannot sleep in a double bed with anybody now. Could be a little room with one double... . . . ...:unsure:

Or a huge suite with two queens and a pullout. . . . ..B)

Annnnnnnnd once you buy it, it is non-refundable.

Gaaaaahhhhhh.. . .. ..:wacko:

What would youse guys do? :huh:

Tis a head scratcher Em. The link didn't work--I just got the general page of the site.

Is there some identifying info that you could call the hotel and ask about? I don't think you'd have anything to lose by calling them directly and seeing if they can shed some light. (even though you sill have to book through the site)

From what you said it seems like a very nice place--maybe they don't offer any "single" rooms? It does make me suspicious that they don't give you all this info up front so you can see exactly what you are getting.

Personally, I've used Hotwire and Priceline with no problems. I know with Priceline you're only guaranteed 1 queen bed, so I've had to call to request 2 queens or rollaways if the kiddo's are wif me. But it's not a given. I've gambled on more than 1 occasion and it's worked out fine, but it is a gamble.

But I found this for Hotwire under their Travel Rules section:

#4. Room type will be determined by the hotel based on the number of guests provided at time of booking. All reservations are booked for stays in non-smoking rooms (subject to availability).

This isn't the case with Priceline, so it sounds like if you put in 4 people for the reservation, you should be able to accommodate 4 people in the room. Is it more $$ if you put in 4 adults instead of 2 adults/2 kids??

Nope, it's the same amount if it's two adults, two kids or four adults.. . . . ...guess I would specify four adults . .. . ..more chances of getting more bed space... .. .....hmmm.....

Rah-shyelle, after you booked a hotel deal through hotwire and it revealed to you the hotel name, did it then also give you the room details? I'm worried that if I book this deal I won't know what I've bought until we get there.... . . . ..although I suppose it wouldn't matter as there is no cancellation -- we'd be staying regardless....

I don't think the cost is different based on the beds. Book the room, then call and confirm your two Kings.

Also double check that the price quoted is per room, not per guest.

Bring a snack, although I think the meatballs are gluten-free.

Actually I think they aren't. Can't find verification. But the gummy fish should be ok.

When we needed furniture for the kids rooms, we thought about renting a Uhaul and going to the nearest IKea which I think is the one near Chicago at that time.

I've only rented cars thru hotwire, but intend to use them next time for hotel. I don't think they give you specific details. I waited a day, then called the hotel to confirm.

Thanks for the bday wishes :) I had a nice day and a nice evening :D

As far as Ikea... Go alone!!!!!!

My most favorite thing EVAHHHHHH is the rectangular shaped collinder that has expanding arms so it reaches across the sink and hangs, so it doesn't sit in your sink where a liquid back-up may occur :unsure:

      Scott, I agree with everything you said except the term "false negative". It should be a "true negative" just plain negative. I actually looked up true/false negative/positive as it pertains to testing. The term "false negative" would be correct if you are positive (have anti-bodies) and the test did not pick them up. That would be a problem with the "test...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      I realized it is actually important to get an official diagnosis because then insurance can cover bone density testing and other lab work to see if any further damage has been done because of it. Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have...

      Been off this forum for years. Is it that important that you get an official diagnosis of something? It appears like you had a trigger (wheat, gluten, whatever) and removing it has resolved your symptom. I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free...

      I was undiagnosed for decades. My ferritin when checked in 2003 was 3. It never went above 10 in the next 20 years. I was just told to "take iron". I finally requested the TTgIgA test in 2023 when I was well and truly done with the chronic fatigue and feeling awful. My numbers were off the charts on the whole panel.  they offered me an endoscopic biopsy 3 months later, but that i would need to continue eating gluten for it to be accurate. so i quit eating gluten and my intestine had healed by the time i had the biopsy (i'm guessing??). Why else would my TTgIgA be so high if not celiacs? Anyway, your ferritin will rise as your intestine heals and take HEME iron (brand 4 arrows). I took 20mg of this with vitamin c and lactoferrin and my ferritin went up, now sits around 35.  you will feel dramatically better getting your ferritin up, and you can do it orally with the right supplements. I wouldn't get an infusion, you will get as good or better results taking heme iron/vc/lf.

That would be a problem with the "test" itself. If you were gluten-free and got tested, you more than likely would test "true" negative or just negative. This means that the gluten-free diet is working and no anti-bodies should be present. I know it sounds confusing and if you don't agree feel free to respond.

Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have 4 kids, and I really want to know. If I really do have it then they may have increased risk.

I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free condition. I was diagnosed over 20 years ago and have been symptom free only excluding wheat, rye and barley. I tolerate all naturally gluten free whole foods including things like beans which actually helps to form the stools.

      No coincidence. Recent revisions to gluten challenge guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of 3 weeks. If possible, I would extend that two weeks to ensure valid testing.
