This is my first post so please be kind. I am recently self diagnosed (my mom and my uncle both have Celiac) but am very lucky because I have learned allot from my mother on what to eat and what not to eat. I decided to make it my "mission" to try and educate people on the disease, at least as much as I could.

So, last week we had tickets to Ford Field in Detroit to the NCAA Midwest Regionals. I knew it was going to be challenging to find anything to eat at the Stadium, second only to "carnie" food, so I emailed the customer service email address at Ford Field about information on what, if any, I could eat. A week or so passed and I assumed that I would not recieve a response, knowing in my head that most stadium's don't offer gluten-free items at the snack stands. Well to my surprise the Executive Chef at the Stadium emailed me. I was astonished. His knowledge was amazing, he looked up information on the websites of Pepsi, Coke, and celiac.com.

He told me he would make anything I wanted or he would provide me with some delicious meals from Moo Moo's Organic Bistro in Grosse Pointe Park, Michigan. (Open Original Shared Link). I had the Poblano Chic Patties with poblano peppers and other delish tasties. (I am not a chic pea lover but it was great!!) I was overwhelmed and amazed at my experience I almost cried. The chef spoke of his increasing requests for gluten-free foods and that he appreciated my email, all I had to do was ask. So I ran with it and called the bride-to-be of a wedding we will be attending and her caterer said he would make me anything I wanted, that he would be happy to accomodate my needs.

I just wanted to share the good news as we so often hear only bad news about our experiences and the disease. And also share the name of the restaurant that prepared the yummy meals (they ship out of Michigan too). Regards to you all!

That is good to know.

Now when people ask what can I eat in Mi. for this venue, I know it won't be a problem.

That's great!! I'm so glad you had such a positive experience. It seems like if you don't speak up and ask if there's anything available to eat, you'll never know. I'm from St. Clair Shores, and will be heading that way for a wedding this summer. After checking out Moo Moo's site, I'll be stopping in for sure! Thanks for the tip!

      Blood results

      She’s eating mostly gluten as far as I know. Think her GP is trying to get her seen fairly quickly

      Be sure to have her continue eating gluten before the biopsy. Reducing gluten now could lead to healing and false negative results.

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      Allegra is an antihistamine.  Histamine is released by the body as part of the autoimmune and immune responses, so an antihistamine would be helpful.  Following the low histamine version of the AIP diet is helpful as well because there's also histamine in foods.  Sometimes our body has trouble getting rid of the histamine it makes and the histamine from our food.  Sometimes the mast cells that make and release histamine get touchy and release histamine at the slightest provocation.  Thiamine helps mast cells not to release histamine so readily.  Look into Mast Cell Activation Syndrome.  SIBO, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, can also cause high histamine levels.  Following the low histamine AIP diet will starve out the bad SIBO bacteria that feed on carbohydrates we eat.  We don't want to take antibiotics because they kill off both the good and bad bacteria.  We don't want to take probiotics yet because the SIBO bacteria will outnumber them.   The AIP diet will allow the good bacteria to flourish.   Some have Candida infections as well as SIBO.   Lowering histamine levels is important because high histamine levels for a long time can lead to worsening health problems like Crohn's and colitis and other health problems.

      gluten-free Canada finds

      By JessicaAnderson · Posted

      Hey! My son will be traveling to Canada from the US next month. What are some items we should try to buy and bring back? I know Doritos are labeled gluten-free in Canada so that’s on our list, what else?

      Oh I have 2 dogs. And I just looked up the ingredients in their food and it does contain barley as a main ingredient. Maybe some other things too that aren't helpful but barley just caught my eye on a quick look.  And yes I spend lots of time with them, they're always cuddled up on me. I even have wondered before if I was allergic to them and I take Allegra at night out of some thought that maybe I was allergic to them (but I've never confirmed that).  Wow. This is very interesting. I could try putting them out on some grain-free food for a month and see if that helps. Thanks for the tip!
