I Feel So Relieved!

We are going to Minnosota in 2 1/2 wks for my BIL's wedding. He told me that the place that they were having the reception at wouldn't allow any outside food, and they were serving 1 meal and he didn't know if it was gluten-free or not. So I of course was very worried and starting to get a little stressed about the whole situation. So today I found the phone number to the reception place and called. The lady I spoke to was totally understanding! She gave me her email address and asked me to email her my name and what we needed. She said they would make our chicken seperatly and told me all the ingredients in the side dishes. Everything was safe except the chicken. So they will serve us baked or grilled chicken! And, I asked if we would bring in our own small cake, and she said that it was perfectly fine! So now I am so relieved!!

Just had to share!

Glad it worked out for you. Please share the name of the restaurant or place. I had excellent experience with The Westwood here in Garwood NJ. They did two parties for me and provided gluten-free food to my husband. If they didn't know about gluten-free before they met me, they know about gluten-free now.

I'm so glad to hear about this. I think if celiacs just eat beforehand or stay home and never venture out and explain our needs to people, then it will never get easier. Kudos to you for your efforts!!

The reception is at Southwest Minnesota State University in the Student Center. They cater the events there themselves. The lady was so sweet!

      Stomach hurts with movement

      By amantelchi · Posted

      I'd like to clarify: Is the pain you describe in the area just below your chest constant, or does it only appear when you start moving?

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
