Amuse Bistro In Annville, Pa (south-central)

Hello,

Well it's official-- the biopsy results are in as of yesterday. I've been gluten-free for the past 11 days and already feel a world of difference. My colleagues at work have said to me, "Your skin tone no longer looks gray-- you have some color back in your face ." It feels good to begin to feel good again.

I wanted to let those in South-Central PA know that I had a very pleasant dining experience last night at Amuse Bistro in Annville, PA (six miles east of Hershey). The chef, Larry (who used to be the chef at Trattoria Fratelli in Lebanon), understood gluten-free cooking and was extremely accommodating. Ate some lovely food including Scottish Salmon on a bed of mashed potatoes with lobster, an arugula/beet salad and a rootbeer float for dessert. This is a relatively new restaurant with a very nice atmosphere: white linens on the tables--very elegant, fine dining experience.

They do not have a liquor license yet, so bring your own wine. Nice to know that there's a fine dining option nearby.

Best,

Scott_in_PA

Yes...the staff (including our server) seemed to have some knowledge of the condition. They were very nice and understanding! The key, I guess, is just communicating. I did not talk about the CC issue-- so I would just make sure that they understood the dangers (oops-- I really should have addressed that issue!). I didn't catch the name of our server but she was a nice young-ish girl who wore glasses. I was rather nervous since it was a business dinner and I was playing host-- I wanted to make sure everything was ok. It was also my first dining experience out of the house since my diagnosis, so it was doubly stressful, but no reaction and my out of town guest loved the place!

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
