We are having an celebration in town this weekend with live music and food booths and games and everything. Does anyone knwo what stuff would be safe.

I know the indian tacos are out

turkey legs ( i dont know)

snow cones (no idea)

lemonade (no idea)

im sure maybe someone will have hamburger fry and i know to check to see if they put the buns on the grill, but is there anything else i have to look for

I want my son and I to have a great time, and not just sit and watch everyone eat and drink.

i guess if it comes down to it we can have cotton candy, that is safe right lol.

I know many of u are thinking just ask the vendors, but this town doesnt know much about celiac. lol

I am going to be so sad to walk by the beer garden and not have an drink, unless bud will have redbridge there, but i doubt it since u cant have glass in the park.

At least i will see my roomate from college, she is in the band that is playing an concert tonight. I cant wait to see her, i just wish i could have an drink with her lol.

I'm unable to trust anything as the consequences are too great. I'd bring my own stuff in a backpack.

Heheh maybe even some redbridge transferred to a . . . .hmmm maybe iced tea labeled bottle?

You just never know when a turkey leg marinade/baste secret ingredient's extra ingredient is soy sauce.

One of those travel coffee mug things works well for alcoholic beverages. If it has an airtight seal though it likely won't work for beer or any other carbonated beverage. Green tea bottles work for beer, it's about the same color. :)

I wouldn't trust fair food unless they have a fry stand that only sells french fries. Even then, be sure to read the ingredients carefully for both the fries and the oil (just in case the oil is seasoned, unlikely, but possible).

      Medication

      By trents · Posted

      Did the GI doc give you any rational for stopping the Tylenol during the gluten challenge? I have never heard of this before and I can't imagine a good reason for it. Ibuprofen, maybe, because it is an anti inflammatory but acetaminophen?  I don't see that it would have any impact on the test results to take Tylenol.

      Medication

      Good day! New members here and I have a question about medication. My gastroenterologist made me stop some medication during the gluten challenge beforenthe screening test but I have a little surgery tomorrow and I need to know if I can use tylenol for half a day or if it will give me false results using it.   Thanks

      I agree, there can be contamination at many points--milling is another possible source of contamination for any flours.

      Keep in mind that with manufactured food products, "gluten free" doesn't equate to no gluten. Things that are naturally gluten free can be cross-contaminated with gluten in the field, in shipping and in processing. In the U.S. companies can use the gluten free label as long as the product doesn't exceed 20ppm of gluten. That amount still may cause a reaction in some people.

      Inconclusive results

      By deanna1ynne · Posted

      Dd10 was tested for celiac four years ago bc two siblings were dx’d (positive labs and biopsies). Her results at the time were positive ema  and ttg (7x the UL), but a negative biopsy. We checked again three months later and her ttg was still positive (4x the UL), but ema and biopsy were negative. Doc said it was “potential celiac” and to keep eating gluten, but we were concerned about harming her growth and development while young and had her go gluten-free because we felt the labs and ema in particular were very suggestive of early celiac, despite the negative biopsies. She also had stomach aches and lethargy when eating it. We just felt it’d be better to be safe than sorry. Now, four years later, she doesn’t want to be gluten-free if she doesn’t “have to be,” so underwent a 12 week gluten challenge. She had labs done before starting and all looked great (celiac panel all negative, as expected.) Surprisingly, she experienced no noticeable symptoms when she began eating gluten again, which we felt was a positive sign. However, 12 weeks in, her labs are positive again (ttg 4x the UL and ema positive again as well). Doc says that since she feels fine and her previous two biopsies showed nothing, she can just keep eating gluten and we could maybe biopsy again in two years. I was looking up the ema test and the probability of having not just one but two false positives, and it seems ridiculously low.  Any advice? Would you biopsy again? She’s old enough at this point that I really feel I need her buy-in to keep her gluten-free, and she feels that if the doc says it’s fine, then that’s the final word — which makes me inclined to biopsy again and hope that it actually shows damage this time (not because I want her to have celiac like her sisters, but because I kind of think she already does have it, and seeing the damage now would save her more severe damage in the long run that would come from just continuing to eat gluten for a few more years before testing again.)  Our doc is great - we really like him. But we are very confused and want to protect her. One of her older sibs stopped growing and has lots of teeth problems and all that jazz from not catching the celiac disease sooner, and we don’t want to get to that point with the younger sis. fwiw- she doesn’t mind the biopsy at all. It’s at a children’s hospital and she thinks it’s kind of fun. So it’s not like that would stress her out or anything.
