Sooo--elisabeth Had Dinner With The Queen

Today on the view, our Elisabeth told all about having dinner at the White House in the company of the President and Queen Elizabeth and if I heard right she said she ate EVERYTHING. Did all of you hear that too? She is pregnant and you would think she might be extra careful right now with her eating habits. She looked just darling in her white cape that she had worn to her high school prom. Maybe she will talk about it more tomorrow. Barbara

My guess is that she had special arrangements made. Of all places, they can cook safely for you at the White House. She was pretty sick before she went gluten free, so I don't think she would have just gone and eaten "everything." It sounded like a lot of it could have been naturally gluten free, too.

I don't think she likes to talk about Celiac every single day, so I think she just wanted to focus to be on the Queen and the dinner, etc.

I don't think it was prom...it was her wedding.

Even I would eat there :)

I agree, Laura. :)

And yes, the cape was from her wedding--Joy made a joke that Elizabeth is the only woman to wear something from her wedding twice.

Since Bill Clinton is allergic to wheat, I imagine the White House chefs didn't have a problem making Elizabeth's dinner safe...

I'm sure this wasn't the first time someone with a special dietary need was invited to the White House.

Plus, if I had eaten that whole meal as it was served, I never would have been able to work or do much else the next day :lol: Elizabeth looked just fine ;)

spring pea soup with U.S. caviar, Dover sole almondine, spring lamb with chanterelle sauce and local vegetables, and an arugula, mustard greens and romaine salad, said executive chef Cristeta Comerford.

Looks like the menu could have been pretty easily adjusted to be gluten free. I'm sure that Elizabeth made arrangements before the dinner so that her meal was safe. Or at least I would "hope" so :)

Another point to add: considering her doctor is Dr. Green (or, at the least, she is in touch with him), and she has mentioned that Grace had a gluten-free birthday cake (she was delaying Grace's gluten intake), ... it seems to me that she is extremely conscientious and is well-informed on research, latest trends, etc.

She also mentioned that she and Tim freaked out when they found out they weren't sitting next to eat other...which might have been because she was worried about eating at a table away from him, if she were to get sick. (I personally like having Eric around because its another set of eyes to help out and make sure everythings ok)

it might also be because I at least have DH trained not to get bread crumbs in my food. I have to closely watch the person on my right if it's not him.

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch--thanks for the tip about Dupixent, and I've added it to the article:

      I just want to clarify that what I posted is a category of research summaries we've done over the years, and nearly each one shows that there is definitely a connection to celiac disease and migraine headaches. The latest study said: "the study did indicate some potential causal associations between celiac disease and migraine with or without aura, as well as between migraine without aura and ulcerative colitis...this study did not find evidence of a shared genetic basis..." Anyway, there is definitely a connection, and you can go through more of the articles here if you're interested: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/migraine-headaches-and-celiac-disease/

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By SusanJ · Posted

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was bad I could not do anything. I just lay in bed covered in ice packs to ease the pain/itching and using way too Clobetasol. Dapsone is also very good for dermatitis herpetiformis (and it is generic). It helped me and the results were immediate but it gave me severe anemia so the Dupixent is better for me. Not sure if it works for everyone. I cannot help with the cause of your stress but from experience I am sure the severe stress is making the celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis worse. Very difficult for you with having children to care for and you being so sick. Would this man be willing to see a family therapist with you? He may be angry at you or imagine that your illness is a psychosomatic excuse not to take care of him. A therapist might help even if he won't go with you. Also do you have any family that you could move in with (with the kids) for a short time to get away? A break may be good for you both.

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      @tiffanygosci, Thiamine deficiency is a thing in pregnancy for "normal" people, so it's exponentially more important for those with celiac disease and malabsorption issues. I studied nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I was curious what the vitamins were doing inside the body.  See my blog.  Click on my name to go to my page, scroll to drop down menu "activities" and select blog.   So glad you're motivated to see the dietician!  We're always happy to help with questions.  Keep us posted on your progress!

      Thank you for sharing all of this, Knitty Kitty! I did just want someone to share some commonality with. I did not know This one Deficiency was a thing and that it's common for Celiac Disease. It makes sense since this is a disorder that causes malabsorption. I will have to keep this in mind for my next appointments. You also just spurred me on to make that Dietician appointment. There's a lot of information online but I do need to see a professional. There is too much to juggle on my own with this condition.<3
