Delta To Provide gluten-free Meals

so i was trying to book a flight to Spain today for May and needed to fly Delta but wasn't about to not have a gluten-free meal with such a long itinerary (i eat like every hour on the hour so i knew i'd starve if i just snacked!). so i called up Delta to find out if they served one, because it wasn't listed on their website, and after many, many minutes of cell phone time i talked to a lovely representative named Anita who said that, as of April 1, Delta will provide gluten free meals on flights where complimentary meals are served. isn't that great?! so if you book a flight with them before April 1, the code (GFML) won't be in their system to request the meal, but you can wait until later and then call and request it. Just remember to do it at least 12-24 hours before your flight. hope this info helps!

Just be careful with their gluten free meal. Others here have had horrible experiences with "gluten free" airline food. I'm not saying that your experience will be bad, just make sure you read labels on the prepackaged stuff and remind the stewardesses not to throw a roll on top of your meal before they serve.

      Refractory Coeliac Disease research to reduce anxiety

      Thank you so much for your response kitty that is helpful to hold in mind. I am also doing a review on lived experiences of coeliac disease so your blog would be incredibly valuable for me to review, please can I have the link to it?

      Virus, celiac disease or both?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Shining My Light, Yes, celiac is spelled differently in Great Britain.  Yes, please do consider us as part of your support circle.   I had a serious Vitamin D deficiency, too.  I learned Vitamin D acts as a hormone when at levels between 78-100 nmol/L.  Mine was in the single digits.  I had been in declining health for years without answers.  I had developed hormone problems and clinical depression among other symptoms.  I corrected my Vitamin D deficiency with high doses to get my level up quickly.  Yes, it's safe.  Here's some studies done on high dose Vitamin D. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34737019/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39125420/ ...

      Virus, celiac disease or both?

      By Shining My Light · Posted

      @trents I’m pretty sure what I’m left with when separating celiac to other causes is my 10% being a virus. The one I had about 3 weeks before taking this TTG test. Everything I’ve read says type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, hepatitis and some viruses are what could cause the elevation. The other blood tests I had I can compare things against.  I’m going to give your article a thorough read. My support in my circle is very small at the moment.  @knitty kitty I think before EGD I would like to do the DNA test. I’m going to start keeping a better journal also.  I’ve read a crazy amount of these “articles” - these two I’ve not seen. Some articles spell celiac differently. Thank you for...

      Waiting on biopsy after positive bloodwork, but also not really believing this is real

      @knitty kitty My whole family has migraines and I started getting them at age 19, so I'm not sure mine are related to gluten, although I do feel like obviously the more inflamed my whole system is, the more likely I am to suffer from more of these things.

      @Alibu, Just wanted to add... Migraines can be caused by thiamine insufficiency.  I used to have them, regularly, but haven't since supplementing with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and Magnesium Threonate.  These forms get into the brain easily and really improve migraines.  I do still get Ophthalmic migraines which are triggered by computer screens.  It's permanent damage from nutritional deficiencies.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace test is a more accurate test for sufficient thiamine. Keep us posted on your progress!
