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.

      Diagnosed w Celiacs, but reacting to gluten-free Digiorno Pizza AND Kraft Zesty Italian Dressing

      By trents · Posted

      As I suspected, xanthan gum is one of the ingredients. It is a polysaccharide used as a texturing agent in many gluten-free products. It's hard to digest and causes distress for many celiacs. I can't say for sure if that was the problem but you might be on the lookout for it in the future. Muscle spasms can be caused by magnesium deficiency. Are you taking any vitamin and mineral supplements? I mean some things more potent than a multivitamin?

      Hello @Suze046 In the western world 40 to 60 percent are low or deficient in Vitamin D.  Malabsorption from Celiac Disease, avoidance of UV from the sun and seasonal variations can result in low vitamin D.  A simple 25(OH)D test will tell you your status.  Low vitamin D affects immune system, bone health, mental health.  I keep mine around 80 ng/ml (200 nmol/L). Choline has many functions in our body.  From the neurotransmitter Acetylcholine to fat digestion.  It is made by our bodies but in insufficient amount.  The major dietary source is from beef and eggs.  The RDA is 500 mg a day.  That would be equivelant to 3 eggs or 10 cups of cooked brocolli a day.  Choline is a significant portion of biliary phospholipids and is a crucial element for bile function.n.  I found taking Phosphatidly Choline capsules helps.  A homocysteine test can be indicative of choline deficiency.  Could we be overlooking a potential choline crisis in the United Kingdom?

      @trents thank you so much for your response!  When i was diagnosed, I was exhibiting mainly joint pain, hair loss, bloating, and allodynia (painful feeling from non painful stimuli). The muscle spasms only started after diagnosis, and it seems to only happen when I am severely glutened. It’s only happened twice, but it definitely makes me nervous when it happens.    In regard to the pizza, thats what i saw after i got sick from it. I’m still trying to figure out how to switch to ALL certified gluten-free goods.    for the dressing, here is the ingredient list:  WATER, VEGETABLE OIL, VINEGAR, SUGAR, GARLIC, SALT, RED BELL PEPPER, ONION, CONCENTRATED LEMON JUICE, XANTHAN GUM, POTASSIUM SORBATE, HERBS, CALCIUM DISODIUM EDTA, MONOACETIN, SPICES. and the link: https://www.kraftheinz.com/en-CA/kraft/products/00068100903577-zesty-italian-salad-dressing

      Welcome to the forum, @annamarie6655! Are the muscle spasms and joint aches a new pattern of reaction to gluten or have you experienced these in the past? Concerning DeGiorno's "gluten-free" pizza, we have had many reports from celiac.com members of gluten reactions from consuming this product. I believe it is one of those "gluten-free" products that is made from wheat (speaking of the crust component) that has been processed in such a way as to remove most of the gluten. The FDA regs allow food companies to use the claim "gluten-free" as long as the product contains no more than 20ppm of gluten. This works for most celiacs but not for those on the more sensitive end of the spectrum. There is another industry standard known as "Certified Gluten-Free" that is stricter, requiring no more than 10ppm of gluten. Certified Gluten-Free products use the "GFCO" logo. Concerning the salad dressing, could you list the ingredients in another post or link it? There are certain other ingredients besides gluten commonly used in gluten-free manufactured food items to give them acceptable textures that give a lot of celiacs problems.

      Hello, so I was diagnosed with Celiacs about 8 months ago. After being diagnosed, I have been trying very hard to maintain a completely gluten-free (and celiac safe) diet.  Two of the main times I had a huge reaction, it was from: - gluten-free Digiorno Pizza w Pepperoni - Kraft Zesty Italian Dressing (this was in canada if that changes anything) Both are marked as gluten-free. Following eating these items, I had a severe bout of diarrhea, uncontrollable and heavy muscle spasms throughout my whole body, and aching throughout every joint.   If these are both gluten-free, why would I be reacting to them? Should I be worried about a separate allergy?  In regards to the muscle spasms, should I follow up with someone about that?
