Dear (Insert name):

I am writing this letter in the hopes that you will share it with your managers and staff; I want people to be aware of what happens when a person who orders off the gluten-free menu and a mistake is made.

As you know I ate at your restaurant on January 31st and became ill. In my conversation with the manager there, he assured me that allergies are taken very seriously and that this concerned him as had I had a true allergy, we may not be having this conversation. While he

Thanks Bev, What a great post

I'm going to save it and PRAY that I don't have to use it but we all know that it probably won't be the case.

Yep, I guess its better to have a letter pre-written because after glutening it can be a little hard to put things constructively.

Hi Steve!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It took a lot not to write a nasty letter but I figured it would be counter-productive!

Yep, what I do in those instances is write the letter I want and then tear it up, having got it outa my system (the grrr ... not the gluten) then try and write a constructive letter.

However making it constructive is difficult enough, even after venting into the fake letter so I thiunk I'll prepare a ready letter and use that :D

good idea...

      Is it gluten?

      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.

      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.

      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.
