Smitty's = Awesome

Yesterday I went to Smitty's in Regina (where we always stop for breakfast/lunch). The lady was kind enough to heat my rice bread for me in the microwave before our meal arrived. The accidently put toast on my plate and she asked "do you have a toast allergy?" I said yes, so she said "we'll go make another one". And sure enough, within a couple of minutes I had a fresh plate with the toast on the side. She came with the new one and said "Well I don't want to get you sick!".

Now why cant ALL places be like that?!

I didnt tip, but I did give them a huge thank you more than once!! They usually offer to toast my bread or whatever, but I explain I can't share a toaster. So i guess from now on i'll just get them to warm it up, knowing that they'll do it :). I think we'll be going back more ;). Even better I'll be living in that city in a few months :lol:

Going to Smitty's for dinner tonight (in Winnipeg) for the first time since my dx. Can't find a # to call ahead (it's a brand new location and not yet listed). Does anyone know what (if anything) is safe on their menu?

Thanks,

Jillian

P.S. -- Lisa, I am a HUGE hockey fan too! I've been playing for 20+ years (I'm 26) and watch HNIC whenever I don't have a game myself :) We'd be rivals though lol I grew up in Toronto and am (unfortunately) a Leafs fan! Cheers

      I think sometimes the pain described here can be a result of a sort of 'perfect storm' of contributing factors.  Recently I had an appalling bout of lower back pain, lower burning gut pain and what felt like cramps.  I then started to think about what could have caused it and I realised it was several things that had set it off: I'd been carrying heavy luggage (back strain); I had been sitting down in a car for too long and wearing a tight belt (I have pudendal nerve issues and sacroiliac issues and this exacerbates the pain), and I had bloating and burning pain in my colon caused by eating too much soy, latte and caffeine, I guess putting further pressure in the lower abdomen.  I had this same pain prior to my diagnosis and a couple of years post-diagnosis, I'd quite forgotten how unpleasant it was.

      HI @Kirbyqueen That's great news your insurance will be kicking in soon.  Sorry to see that you have been dealing with this for six months now, but I do hope you have managed to find some relief with some of the suggestions in the meantime. Perhaps come back and let us know what the doctor says. Cristiana

      I agree, and hopefully your doctor will contact you soon about the next step, which will likely be an endoscopy to confirm your diagnosis. Do you have celiac disease symptoms?

      Still dealing with this rash on my legs. I've eliminated ringworm (through use of topical ointments). And I also know it's not shingles, as I've never had chickenpox before and I'm still fairly young. Through a lot of online research, I'm leaning more towards dermatitis herpetiformis, eczema, or psoriasis. I've actually got a doctor's appointment in May (finally got some insurance) and I'm going to bring it up then. I'm feeling really hopeful and excited to maybe be getting some relief soon.   Big thanks to everyone for the suggestions and positive thoughts!

      You have three celiac disease specific antibody tests that are positive: Endomysial  Antibody IGA (aka, EMA), tTG-IGA, and tTG_IGG. Furthermore, your Immunoglobulin A at 55 is low, meaning you are IGA deficient. This one is not an antibody test for celaic disease per se but a measure of "total IGA" levels and if low (yours is low) it can suppress the individual antibody scores and even cause false negatives. So, yes, it definitely looks like you have celiac disease.   Do not yet begin a gluten free diet as your physician may refer you to a GI doc for an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining for confirmation of the antibody testing. This may help:
