I was wondering if any one had their doctors write notes explaining the need for providing your own food when in various theme parks, restaurants, etc...? I am going to an amusement park next week & they said you need a note to bring outside food. What exactly do your notes say? Thanks!

The note I have says

To whom it may concern,

this is to confirm that ds cannot consume gluten or dairy products.

I will say that I have never had to use the note.

The doc just wrote it on her prescription pad.

My note says "patient has celiac disease and must carry specific foods with her". Of course, I always get the "what does SPECIFIC FOODS mean"? Well, anything without WBRO, it doesn't matter what... Most of the time I don't have to show my note. You start talking about food allergies and the door checker's eyes start glassing over and they just let you through. Heehee.

      Gluten free thyroid medications

      By maryannlove · Posted

      Thought was finished with this but a friend just sent email saying she takes Tirosin liquid levothyroxine which has no fillers (mentioned by Pgetha above).  Friend's doc sends script to one of Tirosin's direct-mail pharmacies.  Looking that up, government insurance (Medicare/Medicaid) doesn't cover (as Pgetha wrote above).  But if use one of their direct-mail places three month supply is $57/month.  Researching that, happened to learn Yaral also makes a generic gluten-free levothyroxine.

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      By dmallbee · Posted

      As a life.long celiac, I understand this.  I simply ask that the medical profession stop disregarding the fact that it should remain a concern for some. It cost me a lot of medical discomforts.

      @dmallbee, about 8% of celiacs react to the oat protein avenin like they do to the wheat protein gluten. In addition, there are some cultivars of oats that apparently do actually contain gluten.
