I have eaten at Freemason Abby and they were very easy to work with.

Unfortunately, I can tell you where NOT to eat.

I was going to go on the Spirit of Norfolk Dinner Cruise. I called ahead and explained that I had celiac sprue disease and could not eat wheat or gluten. The cruise has a dinner buffet. This particular night the buffet choices were pasta or stuffed meats (all of the stuffing was bread). Their desserts were all pies and cakes.

The business office told me that they did "not like to prepare special meals." When I asked if I could bring my own dinner, they told me absolutely not. For health reasons no passangers can bring food onto the ship. They told me that they would make me a fruit bowl. Wow! A fruit bowl for $70.

They were completely insensitive and in my opinion unprofessional. I did not go on the cruise but since I had already bought my ticket I was out $70. They would not refund my money.

If you have any food allergies at all, stay away from the Spirit of Norfolk.

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      This is an older article, but may be helpful.

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.

      Exactly which blood tests were done? There are a few different ones and some docs don't do them all. Also, your results and reference ranges for each?
