Starbucks

Movies

TCBY for ice cream

Mini Golf

Parks

Mall

Sports(competing against each other...tennis, basketball,etc)

Go Karts

Arcade

There are tons of things to to besides go out to eat. I actually preferred stuff like going to Starbucks over eating out on dates before I had celiac.

Arcades are fun if you can find them... here in New England we still have a lot of old fashion ones that have Skeeball and such, tons of fun. My BF and I love day hiking and of course we carry food for that so its easy. We picnic, that way you can enjoy food and wine and know its perfectly ok to eat (needless to say you pack the basket). I love kayaking, wallking on the beach, an art fair. I've often ended these types of dates with coffee or a glass of wine so they seem like any other date and not focused around what I can and can't eat.

Just out of interest: do you guys (sorry, and girls...I meant it as a general term) usually date in food situations or do you avoid, say, dinner, and go to a movie instead, etc.?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

A couple "low-food" ideas:

* bowling

* mini-golf/driving range

* concert

* hiking

* picnic (ok, food related, but you bring your own food)

* museums/art shows

* at-home video night

* canoeing/kayaking

* something crafty (painting, pottery, etc...)

BOWLING RULES (I had my last birthday party at a bowling alley. I called ahead and they let me bring in gluten free cupcakes!)

Movies - I think its fun to "sneak in" my own snacks

Making dinner together - I really like to cook, so I realize this is not everyone's thing and a bit harder for a first date

Seeing a band/show - this is fun because there is down time between sets and you have something to talk about, the music

Doing a "touristy" thing in your own town/city - something you wouldn't normally do, but can be fun (I had a friend who did a duck tour as a joke, but had a good time)

Thrift store shopping - I think this is oodles of fun (can work with yard sales)

Apple picking! (or other seasonal thing outdoors - like a fair or carnival)

Pumpkin Carving!

I have a handful of places that I do feel comfortable eating at, so if it is a food thing, I suggest a place that is on my "turf"

(mostly mexican or thai)

Coffee or tea or a cafe setting can work - as others have suggested. (if it is a place with magazines, sometimes its fun to look at them together and use the covers to start conversations

I want to date a celiac girl now that I'm gluten-free. Is it wrong to narrow my search by allergy?

On another note, I think it would be cool to have a gluten-free meet-up spot, restaurant or club. Maybe I'll be the one to start it. Just to cut-out all the extra-work when you go out to eat and drink, a dedicated gluten-free establishment.

Soon to come.

I think it makes a lot of sense.

I definitely second that.

A side benefit would be that it would be an object lesson for non-celiac friends and family. A while back, the owner of a local gluten-free bakery addressed our support group. He mentioned that his customers not only included celiacs but also some of the top hotels in Phila. He sold his baked goods to them not as "gluten-free" baked goods but as "regular" baked goods. Hotel patrons were eating gluten-free breads, cakes and pastries and never knew the difference.

With a little effort, gluten-free food can be as good as if not better than regular fare. Consider turkey stuffing. If you forgo the packaged stuffing mix, you can try some really mouthwatering stuffing recipes that don't require wheat bread. Not only will you have gluten-free stuffing but you would probably get rave reviews.

      Blood tests low iGA 4 years later digestive issues

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Mmoc! Please include the reference ranges for the IGA and the TTG tests in your next post if you have access to them. We cannot comment much otherwise as different labs use different reference ranges for these tests and also different units of measurement. There are no universal standards as of yet so the raw test numbers are not always helpful. Having said that, if your IGA (what we usually call "total IGA") is low, the TTG-IGA score will be skewed and cannot be trusted. Other kinds of tests for celiac disease would need to be run, particularly those in the IGG family of tests. Perhaps this will be helpful:

      Blood tests low iGA 4 years later digestive issues

      By Mmoc · Posted

      Hi there any advice welcomed. I have had 4 years of symptoms ranging from immune related anaphylactic symptom sudden onset food allergy to peppers/paprika/chilli/capsicum family derivatives. all these allergies fizzled out and following a food challenge test in hospital I reintroduced them a few months ago. Since then my digestive system is a mess. i have since noticed that 4 years ago when testing for iga allergies my iga level was .62 and my ttg was less than .1 (due to symptoms I was probably eating very plainly at that time). should I insist on being retested for celiac? I’ve since read two indicators for celiac include: sensitive to spicy foods when in flare up tooth enamel weakness and symmetrical discolouration patches on teeth which I have had since childhood on my two front teeth     thanks

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By trents · Posted

      This article does not address migraines at all.  Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.
