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!!

Please share the name of the restaurant or place.

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

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!
