Colorado Ranch

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!!

      Sorry, I think I got you mixed up with another poster.

      I hadn't been eating gluten free before having the antibody test done. I started eating gluten free after having the test done because the gastro PA told me to eat gluten-free for 6 months. I'm now 3 months in.

      I tend to agree with RMJ. Your doc took the reasonable and practical approach to diagnosis. All things considered, it was the right way to go. However, if you have first degree relatives that show signs of possible celiac disease, urge them to get formally tested before they start the gluten free diet.

      It sounds like you have a very reasonable GI doctor, who diagnosed you based on family history and symptoms after eating gluten. I would consider you lucky! The other option would be to make yourself very sick by doing weeks of a gluten challenge prior to an endoscopy.

      Hi Colleen H,   I suffered with the pins and needles/burning feeling in my legs and feet for at least  6 years until my Nephrologist figured out that I had to go on a low salt diet.  He said my kidneys weren't strong enough to remove the salt.  The simple fix was a diuretic, but that med leaves the uric acid behind, so that wasn't an option.  On the bright side the low salt diet lowered my BP over 20 points and and the pins and needles/burning feeling went away.  Good Luck and hope this helps.
