Just thought I would share---

My husband and i just returned from Aspen Canyon Ranch in Colorado where we went on vacation with 4 of our friends. It was a smaller type dude ranch. We rode horses all day, went skeet shooting and fly fishing. It was gorgeous and so much fun. We were there for 4 days, but wish we could have been there longer.

Anyway, Debbie - one of the owners and also the cook, made me delicious gluten-free meals every day. The food was wonderful, everyone said so. And she always made sure that I got the same thing as everyone else, just a gluten free version. gluten-free salmon and steaks and BBQ chicken. She made gluten-free pasta salads, and ordered me so gluten-free cereals and waffles for the morning. She also makes excellent homeade ice cream!

The trip was so great, it was expensive, but worth it. All food, lodging and activities are included in the per person price. It was just an extra added bonus that I got to eat so well too! I called her in advance of our arrival, and let her know my issues, but i brought some food with me too because you just never know. I returned home with most of that food. The staff was great.

If you are looking for wonderful scenery, lots of time on horseback, and great food, you should try Aspen Canyon Ranch. It was a vacation that was such an experience. If you go, you have to stay in the "Cliffhouse Cabin", a little cabin overlooking the river and tucked into a cliff. It has 3 bedrooms and 3 baths, a full kitchen, and your own hot tub overlooking the river. Just the thing to cure the saddle sores!!

      Feeling of phlegm and thickness in throat

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with gluten sensitivity or celiac disease report throat-related symptoms, including a phlegmy, thick, or "sticky" feeling after gluten exposure. This could be due to inflammation, mild allergic response (like a wheat allergy), or even silent reflux triggered by gluten. Some also describe a "gluten globus" sensation—like something is stuck in the throat—without visible mucus. Since this isn’t a classic celiac symptom, it’s worth considering: Wheat allergy (IgE-mediated reactions can cause throat tightness/swelling). GERD/LPR (acid reflux)—gluten can relax the esophageal sphincter, letting acid creep up. Histamine response (some react to gluten with excess mucus production). If it happens consistently after gluten, keep a symptom log and discuss it with your doctor. An allergist or GI specialist could help rule out other causes. Hope you find answers soon.

      Is my dishwasher glutening me?

      Or, you could be experiencing the development of additional food sensitivities/cross-reactivity and eating away from home at the lodge temporarily removed those foods from your diet.

      Any bad experience with King Arthur Gluten-free bread flour

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You are correct--my bad! The ingredients do include wheat starch, and the fact that their products are certified gluten-free means that they test below 10ppm, but again, some celiacs do report issues with products that use Codex wheat starch. Here is the label of the one I though was wheat-free:

      Help figuring out stomach pain

      By lizzie42 · Posted

      Thanks! She was taking iron and vitamin d. Iron has improved so I took her off that (that was not the source of the pain). Vitamin d was low also pre diagnosis but we didn't check b. She has blood work due at the end of the month so I can add vitamin b. She is on a meat kick right now so eating beef regularly.

      Inflammation and Menier’s disease link?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @MagsM! A "total IGA" test should have been ordered along with the tTG-IGA in order to check for IGA deficiency. Certainly, an endoscopy with biopsy would be the most direct route to investigate the possibility of celiac disease. But if the physician is unwilling to provide a GI referral for that or if that means an endoscopy is months and months out because of scheduling congestion, ask your primary doc to order the total IGA as well as the DGP-IGA and DGP-IGG tests. You could also be dealing with NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) but your vitamin/mineral deficiencies from the blood work suggest there is malabsorption going on such as we see with celiac disease. Whatever the case, do not begin a gluten free diet until all testing, whether blood antibodies or endoscopy/biopsy are complete. Going gluten free before testing is complete will invalidate the testing.
