My friend snapped this picture of me eating a gluten-free hamburger at MGM Studios a few weeks ago. My mouth was stuffed full, so I had a funny smile, but I was pretty happy! First time I'd ordered a hamburger in 11 years! (I had to scan it in, so it's not too clear, but had to share it.)

Where is MGM - in CA? Whose bun did they use or do they bake their own. I've tried about 8 different gluten-free buns but none I'd ever reorder. I head the MD's bun in Austrailia is quite good.

Ah, brings back fond memories...I may have had that same look on my face as I bit into MY own gluten free hamburger WITH fries, lol, only my friend didn't snap a picture of me doing it. :P

I was in Florida.

It was an Ener-G Tapioca bun - toasted nicely. Not perfect, but still great to be able to order a real hamburger! (Funny things is, I rarely eat red meat.)

Oh yeah - that's the only bun I've found edible and I would certainly order it out, were it available to me. I'll let my Mother know if she goes to Disney with my sister/kids they need to do MGM just for the burger...lol!

Wow Liz--that is so great!!!! And the burger looks delicious.

Tiffany (and everyone)--Grandma Ferndon's makes fantastic hamburger buns. The downside is that the shipping from them is $19.95 :angry: I bought them once as part of a large order, and now all I really want to order are the buns--but I can't justify the shipping.

I made that same face when I had a burger with a bun I DIDN'T HAVE TO BAKE at Disneyland a year ago. The simplest things can be so satisfying.....

They actually have those buns throughout all of the major Disney parks in FL. I think they may even have them at the smaller parks too. I had one at Magic Kingdom, though I have to admit I hated it. My daughter had one at Animal Kingdom too. She seemed to like it.

If you ever go to MGM, go to the 50's cafe and get the fried chicken. It tastes exactly like good (glutenous) fried chicken. It is amazing.

      Refractory Coeliac Disease research to reduce anxiety

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @MelissaClinPsyD, I hope you investigate whether your participants take nutritional supplements.  The group of eight B vitamins, Vitamin D and magnesium have a big impact on mental health, especially depression.  I know correcting nutritional deficiencies were most important in my physical and mental health recovery!   There's more information and my mental health struggles in my blog.   Keep us posted on your progress!

      @Jmartes71, Please do get checked for nutritional deficiencies.  A good B Complex, Vitamin D, Benfotiamine (a form of Thiamine Vitamin B1 that promotes intestinal healing), Vitamin D and magnesium are a good way to start. Correcting nutritional deficiencies with Thiamine supplements (like Benfotiamine), B Complex, and Vitamin D were my miracles. How are you doing?  Sending prayers.

      Waiting on biopsy after positive bloodwork, but also not really believing this is real

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Alibu, I think you should send the National Institute of Health peer reviewed studies I linked to your doctors.  Some doctors don't keep abreast of the recent updates to Celiac diagnosis.  They may still be operating under the old idea of waiting until intestinal damage is at a Marsh score of 3C or 4 (complete villus atrophy) before diagnosis of Celiac is made.  Better to diagnose before it gets that severe.   Much of the damage to the small intestines is microscopic and NOT visible to the naked eye.   Since you've got Celiac genes, it would be beneficial if you kept to a strict gluten free diet.  Exposure to gluten and an environmental stress (like an infection or physical stress or emotional trauma) are needed for the Celiac genes to become activated.  If you don't have active Celiac now, a gluten free diet now will help prevent developing it in future.

      @knitty kitty Thank you for your response!!  So do you think my doctor might still diagnose celiac even with the negative biopsy?  At this point I'm just wondering like do I have to be super careful when I eat places for cross-contamination, or do I just have to eat gluten free and not worry about the damage so much as the symptoms, you know?  Like with celiac I know my body is attacking itself and doing damage (although apparently not haha) and with an intolerance it certainly doesn't feel good, but it's not doing the same kind of damage, you know? I sent a message to the doctor asking if I should do a video capsule endoscopy or if we should have a second opinion on the pathology but ugh, I just want a clear answer so whatever it is, I can move forward!!

      Newly Diagnosed

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Gary Libby! Have you talked to your doctors and nutritionist about checking for nutritional deficiencies and supplementing with vitamins and minerals while you're healing?   Malabsorption caused by the inflammation and damage of celiac disease can deplete our stored vitamins, making us feel poorly the majority of the time.  The B vitamins are needed to digest our food and turn it into energy for our body to function.  If we're not able to absorb nutrients from food, taking a B Complex vitamin supplement can help immensely.  Do get checked for deficiencies before starting supplements.  Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace test.   Consider folliwing the Autoimmune Protocol diet to help your intestines heal.  Benfotiamine, a form of thiamine Vitamin B1, has been scientifically shown to promote intestinal healing.   Hope this helps and you feel better soon!  Keep us posted on your progress.
