Hi all from SAlt Lake City! Glad to see some medical issues are resolving.

Just got back from an official Irish dinner at PF Changs. Boy did M eat! Skiing makes the boys hungry and PF Changs is one of his Favs.

We stayed the first few days north of SLC in a beautiful condo. Then, yesterday, we moved down to SLC to ski places closer to The city. We were to stay in a Chase Suites near the university. It is a few blocks from PF Changs and across the street from a gluten-free pizza place. It has a full kitchen - oven, stove burners, microwave & fridge. Got there and it had been sold 3 weeks ago and was being remodeled. The Chase company had not told any of the people staying there!

A guy who just happened to be looking for places to put some specialized construction workers for a few weeks, came in to the Chase to find out if they had rooms. He heard Hub's plight and told him he had just checked at the Homestead Suites and they had rooms. So we are now staying there. It has 2 burners, a microwave & a fridge. It doesn't really work well for cooking but it's OK for breakfast & to keep my lunch stuff. Last night we had Snack Dinner - cheese, apples, crackers.

Had a good day skiing.

Great day of skiing!

Going to try Litza's Pizza. Was recommended by the gluten Free store in Layton. A whole store full of only gluten-free foods!

We also tried Taggarts Grill in Morgan at their suggestion. Yum! gluten-free buns that they could use for anyone's sandwich. M said I should get a big box shipped! They also had a peacock that sat right outside out window and a lovely calico cat that greets everyone. They have at least 5 bakeries in this area. Not all have stores but supply other stores and restaurants.

HEEEYYY, Royal Psubjects!

Well.. . . . ....I spent last night in the eleventh century, completely swept up in jousting, falconry, hand-to-hand sword and shield combat.. .. ....'twas so... .....positievely Medieval.

It really was quite a show. I explained upon entering just who I was. If you can imagine, NONE of the subjects there were apprised of the Royal Arrival and Walkabout of Queen Emily the 3000th of Psillyville.

They seemed to not even know who I was. :huh:

Incredible.

However, they had a rather impressive crown ready to place on my head, and here I am in my av, ready to reign over this clueless, rather barbaric Toronto rabble... . ...

Technical question: Can we still write something under our avs? I could not find the option to do so under "edit my profile". . . .....

Hmmmph. Some monarch.... . . ...canna find my way around me own profile.... <_<

'Tis so. You must have at least 501 posts to be able to do this.

The moon is full and bright. Where is Canadian Karen when we need her? And, no, the smart Alec answer "Bowmanville" isn't gonna cut it.

Do Canadian Karens howl at the moon? Turn into a werewolf? Perform sacred Wiccan fertility rituals? Run naked thru Bowmanville?

Hmmmm... Sounds like fun. Maybe Kansan Karens should do those things.

I don't use Shockwave, although I have heard of it. Sometimes stuff just happens. You might want to make sure you have the latest version. Open Original Shared Link

Less than six hours until spring arrives. Shroomie--you get autumn instead. :o

Tis a magnificent goblet! Fit for a queen.

Back from Spring Break. Cooper spent the week with Grandma & Poppa. He is now a spoiled dog. My dad walked him 3-5 times a day!

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @McKinleyWY! There currently is no testing for celiac disease that does not require you to have been consuming generous amounts of gluten (at least 10g daily, about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks and, to be certain of accurate testing, longer than that.

      Hello all, I was diagnosed at the age of 2 as being allergic to yeast. All my life I have avoided bread and most products containing enriched flour as they contain yeast (when making the man made vitamins to add back in to the flour). Within the last year or so, we discovered that even whole wheat products bother me but strangely enough I can eat...

      I know what you mean. When I get glutened I have severe gut cramps and throw up for 2-3 hr. and then have diarrhea for another several hours. Avoid eating out if at all possible. It is the number one source of gluten contamination for us celiacs. When you are forced to eat out at a new restaurant that you are not sure is safe, try to order things that you...

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @McKinleyWY, For a genetic test, you don't have to eat gluten, but this will only show if you have the genes necessary for the development of Celiac disease.  It will not show if you have active Celiac disease.   Eating gluten stimulates the production of antibodies against gluten which mistakenly attack our own bodies.  The antibodies are produced in the small intestines.  Three grams of gluten are enough to make you feel sick and ramp up anti-gluten antibody production and inflammation for two years afterwards.  However, TEN grams of gluten or more per day for two weeks is required to stimulate anti-gluten antibodies' production enough so that the anti-gluten antibodies move out of the intestines and into the bloodstream where they can be measured in blood tests.  This level of anti-gluten antibodies also causes measurable damage to the lining of the intestines as seen on biopsy samples taken during an endoscopy (the "gold standard" of Celiac diagnosis).   Since you have been experimenting with whole wheat bread in the past year or so, possibly getting cross contaminated in a mixed household, and your immune system is still so sensitized to gluten consumption, you may want to go ahead with the gluten challenge.   It can take two years absolutely gluten free for the immune system to quit reacting to gluten exposure.   Avoiding gluten most if the time, but then experimenting with whole wheat bread is a great way to keep your body in a state of inflammation and illness.  A diagnosis would help you stop playing Russian roulette with your and your children's health.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @McKinleyWY! There currently is no testing for celiac disease that does not require you to have been consuming generous amounts of gluten (at least 10g daily, about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks and, to be certain of accurate testing, longer than that. This applies to both phases of testing, the blood antibody tests and the endoscopy with biopsy.  There is the option of genetic testing to see if you have one or both of the two genes known to provide the potential to develop celiac disease. It is not really a diagnostic measure, however, as 30-40% of the general population has one or both of these genes whereas only about 1% of the general population actually develops celiac disease. But genetic testing is valuable as a rule out measure. If you don't have either of the genes, it is highly unlikely that you can have celiac disease. Having said all that, even if you don't have celiac disease you can have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms as celiac disease but does not involve and autoimmune reaction that damages the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. Both conditions call for the complete elimination of gluten from the diet. I hope this brings some clarity to your questions.

      Hello all, I was diagnosed at the age of 2 as being allergic to yeast.  All my life I have avoided bread and most products containing enriched flour as they  contain yeast (when making the man made vitamins to add back in to the flour).  Within the last year or so, we discovered that even whole wheat products bother me but strangely enough I can eat gluten free bread with yeast and have no reactions.  Obviously, we have come to believe the issue is gluten not yeast.  Times continues to reinforce this as we are transitioning to a gluten free home and family.  I become quite ill when I consume even the smallest amount of gluten. How will my not having consumed breads/yeast/gluten for the better part of decades impact a biopsy or blood work?  I would love to know if it is a gluten intolerance or a genetic issue for family members but unsure of the results given my history of limited gluten intake.   I appreciate the input from those who have gone before me in experience and knowledge. Thank you all!

It is the number one source of gluten contamination for us celiacs. When you are forced to eat out at a new restaurant that you are not sure is safe, try to order things that you can be sure will not get cross contaminated like a boiled egg, baked potatos, steamed vegies, fresh fruit. Yes, I know that doesn't sound as appetizing as pizza or a burger and fries but your health is at stake. I also realize that as a 14 year old you don't have a lot of control over where you eat out because you are tagging along with others or adults are paying for it. Do you have support from your parents concerning your need to eat gluten free? Do you believe they have a good understanding of the many places gluten can show up in the food supply?
