Hi everyone,

Just checking to see if anyone out there knows if there's any celiac disease Cruises planned for 2005 or any celiac disease conventions planned in the Southeast? We live in Orlando, FL and would really like to go. It would be nice to have a celiac disease only Cruise and not worry about what you're eating. Also have cooking classes and exchange receipes. It would be worth almost any cost. :unsure:

Thanks, Jean (Wife of a Celiac)

Well, we booked thru Hotwire, and we booked just a couple of days ago for a cruise leaving tomorrow.

We are cruising out of Orlando with Carnival Glory ship. Hotwire was supposed to let Carnival know that I need a gluten-free diet, and I was told that would not be a problem. I am going to make sure I see the Head Waiter to make sure that everything is under control.

I have several snacks in my lugage, so, if necessary, I can eat those things if there are not many choices on board. With so many choices for food, I would think that I can survive!

I would be very interested in a celiac disease cruise! This is our first time in Orlando. Actually the 2nd, but, the first, we didn't even have to change planes. 26 minutes of flight time from Ft. Lauderdale, and like 4 hours on the highway!

Anyway, we are here in the Raddison and can see the cruise yard from our window, out in the lovely Cape Canaveral.

Glad I checked here before we embark on our ship. I was on a curise last April, but, was not aware that celiac disease was why I always got sick after eating. I never had this before a couple of years ago. My MD had said to lay off bread, but, I didn't even consider or realize that this meant anything breaded, crackers, pasta, etc. etc. So, my last cruise, I spent part of it really sick in the bathroom. Now I know why, and hopefully, this cruise will be a better one.

Maybe we should all get together and write some curise companies to see if some sort of "food allergy" specialty cruise could be arranged.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      CT with contrast.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
