A Celiac Buddy

I was speaking with my mom today and she goes to church and is good pals with a lady who also is also celiac. They got to talking and my mom's friend offered to take my daughter out to dinner with her (to PF Changs) where she often goes out to eat and has eaten there gluten-free successfully several times. I can't even describe how excited I am! First of all, Chinese food is my daughter's favorite and second, it's so awesome that she'll get to go out to eat with someone who is aware of what needs to happen to eat gluten-free at a restaurant and is a pro at it!

It got me to thinking, as a non-celiac (so far, anyway I'm getting tested at my physical in July) it's hard to wear those shoes...I wish all kiddos with celiac could have an adult celiac "buddy" to help show them the ropes.

I told my daughter and she was SO excited. She said she'll come back home and tell me all about how to order gluten-free. :)

That is fabulous! I hope your daughter has a great time, and that those two will become good friends.

      @Scott Adams  Sure, Any and all information is welcome. Also the only was to convince my family to get tested is to get tested myself and conclusive answers. Very stubborn lot.

      Understood. It's very anxiety-provoking when you don't know what you are dealing with and don't know if you are attacking it correctly.

      I have heard of NCGS, but everything is just so confusing!!! Just unsure of things as her EMA test was negative but TTG was positive @19u/ml(lab range 0.0-7.0).Apparently she also has occasional bubble like blisters in between her fingers, don’t know if that’s significant. She is triallling gluten free as suggested by the gastroenterologist after her endoscopy. Keep getting different answers when typing in her symptoms etc. Some sites say it can be possible to have coeliac, even with a negative EMA . It’s so frustrating and her anxiety levels are through the roof. I know she’s hoping it’s coeliac which is weird I know!!! But if it’s not it just means more tests. Sorry to ramble on!!!

      I ame looking for rice flakes that aren't cross contaminated to use in making oat free granola. Does anyone know of a brand? Also I see that some people just used puffed rice cereal, but it seems like that wouldn't be sturdy enough to withstand the mixing without crumbling. Any ideas out there? Thanks!

      There isn't because there is currently no gluten-free labeling requirement for prescription medications. You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
