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.

      My only proof

      By AlwaysLearning · Posted

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      Gluten related ??

      By AlwaysLearning · Posted

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/
