I ttly luv the gluten free chick-fil-a sandwiches. I mean... they rock! But i miss regular chicken nuggets, especially when i am at a friends house spending the night. At sleepovers the options are: pizza, chick-fil-a,pizza

I know i can just say the meal i want, but when the mom says, "Guess what? I am going to buy 2 chicken nugget plates for everyone!!!!!!", what do u do????????????

Hum, yeah...that's pretty tough. I guess you have to be prepared to pull out something wonderful and gluten free. Times like this will pop up from time to time. Ya gotta handle it with class babe! ;):P Then go home and eat 3 plates of Ians Chicken Nuggetts with Ranch dip.

That mom was a little bit thoughtless, but ya can't do anything about that. ( really mean a lot thoughtless)

See if while she's there, she can buy you a large waffle fry and a salad. Those are, to my knowledge, gluten-free. It sucks though, not being able to eat what everyone else is eating :(

Oh, I've run into this problem a lot. I've found that the only solution is to be assertive! Kindly assertive, but assertive. You need to step foreward and say, "Oh, I can't eat the chicken nuggets, is there any way I could get the sandwitch instead?" I know if feels rude, but if the mom knows about celiac, they generally don't mind. I't hard, but the only way, apart from living on Lays for 12 hours.

One option is to have one of your parents call the other parents before the sleepover ask about the food arrangements. That way the food for everyone is not decided on the spur of the moment.

Another option is to pack your own food, you could include your own gluten free pizza and gluten free food from Chick-fil-a and reheat it in the microwave.

      You already got some great recommendations. Just want to second that Mallorca (and Spain in general) is one of the best and easiest places for celiacs to travel. I have been to Mallorca multiple times and have never experienced any cross contaminations and there are SO many easy to buy options in regular supermarkets. Hope you have a wonderful trip.

      I agree.  If someone has Barrett's Esophagus, at least here in the UK, as I understand it under normal circumstances a PPI needs to be taken long term (or similar medication).  I have two friends with this.  The PPI it does have side effects but they still have to take it.

      Do talk to your doctor about making changes to your medication.    I'm not a medical doctor.   I'm a microbiologist.  I studied nutrition before switching to microbiology because I was curious what vitamins were doing inside the body. I would hate to give advice that jeopardizes your health, so do discuss things with your doctor.

      @Jmartes71, Sorry you've been feeling so poorly.   Are you taking any medication to treat the SIBO?   Are you taking any Benfotiamine?  Benfotiamine will help get control of the SIBO.  Thiamine deficiency has symptoms in common with MS. Have you had your gas appliances checked for gas leaks and exhaust fume leaks?  Carbon Monoxide poisoning can cause the same symptoms as the flu and glutening.  Doctors have to check venous blood (not arterial) for carbon monoxide.  Are other inhabitants sick, or just you?  Do they leave the house and get fresh air which relieves their symptoms?

      European wheat is often a "soft wheat" variety which contains less gluten than "hard wheat" varieties found in the States.   In European countries, different cooking methods and longer  fermentation (rising or proofing) times allow for further breakdown of gluten peptides. Wheat in the States is a blend of hard and soft wheat.  Gluten content can vary according to where the wheat was grown, growing conditions, when harvested, and local preference, so a blend of both hard and soft wheat is used to make a uniform product.   I moved around quite a bit as a child in a military family.  I had different reactions to gluten in different areas of the country every time we moved.  I believe some wheat breeds and blends are able to provoke a worse immune response than others.   Since European soft wheat doesn't contain as much gluten as American wheat, you may try increasing your intake of your soft wheat products.  A minimum of ten grams of gluten is required to get a sufficient immunological response so that the anti-gluten antibodies leave the intestines and enter the bloodstream where they can be measured by the tTg IgA test.  Your whole wheat bread may only have a gram of gluten per slice, so be prepared...
