I'll Be Gone For A Week

Just in case somebody wonders where I am, my husband and I are leaving very early tomorrow morning (Saturday, Feb. 16th) to go to Queretaro, Mexico until Sunday, Feb. 26th.

A friend of ours was transferred to Mexico for five years last year. He is an engineer working for Michelin, and the plant he was working at was shut down. It is hard to find good engineers, so they transferred him.

His wife is desperate for visitors from Canada! So, we are doing her the favour and will make the great sacrifice to spend a week with them. :lol:;):P

Being gluten-free shouldn't be a problem, since we are staying in a private house, and Judy and I will go shopping together for food. Plus, I told her what I can and can't eat beforehand. I hope I'll be just fine.

I'll give you all a report when I get back.

Enjoy your trip Ursa!!! I am so jealous that you will be in warm weather... although you deserve it more being from Canada than I do in North Carolina. But still, I would love some hot weather right now.

Anyway, eat some guacamole for me and have a safe trip!!! You are a great friend to make such a sacrifice! ;)

Thank you guys! Actually, where we are going it isn't hot in the winter. At night it is supposed to go down to 5 degrees Celsius (41 degree Fahrenheit), and the warmest time of the day will be anywhere from 17 degrees C (62.6 degrees F) to 25 degrees (77 degrees F). And it isn't humid, either (about 62% humidity).

Mind you, I suffer in humid heat and these are perfect temperatures for me.

I do too Ursa--that climate would be perfect for me too. Humidity, when it's high, actually feels like it's stifling me.

See you when you get back!

Have fun and best wishes on sharing a kitchen. It sounds like lovely weather. We have had 0 degree temps here.

Have fun!

I've never been to Queretaro, but I lived in Guanajuato which is, from what I hear, fairly similar. Having said that, I would bring a wind resistant jacket of some sort because there can be really biting winds, especially at night.

      Get tested for vitamin deficiencies. Though neuropathy can be a symptom of celiac, it can also be caused by deficiencies due to poor digestion caused by celiac and could be easier to treat.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much...

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.
