Disney & Rainforest

I'm sure this has been a topic before but had to give Kudos to Disney myself. We just got back from Fl and what a great trip. As my girls stated the best trip ever and they never had to worry about their food. The restaurants on the property were wonderful and the chefs always came out to meet us and gave us plenty of options. I am a veggie and even had options. My favorite was Sci-Fi in Hollywood. They actually had glazed tofu with rice and veggies on the menu. We stayed at Allstar Music and the manager was great. He went out of his way to treat us like queens. My girls loved the chicken fingers and fries. He called a chef over from another resort one evening to fix me stir-fry and is looking into getting wheat-free soy sauce to have on stock for the future. 2 thumbs up to Disney to letting us feel "normal"! :D

Now Rainforest Cafe on the other hand wasn't so great. The chef there was rude and made us feel like we were inconveniencing him. My one daughter had plain chicken and the other plain steak. There wasn't a single vegetarian item on the menu. He suggested I have salmon or shrimp which I had to explain I didn't eat. They gave me a salad minus the chicken and no other options were given. I was very disappointed with the chef's attitude and service, especially for the price of the meal.

If you go to Disney, you'll love it....just avoid Rainforest while there.

I had a similar experience when I went to RFC in Las Vegas. The server had no idea what I could/couldn't eat and after a lot of confusion, sent the chef out. He basically told me there was this or this to eat. Not much variety. And then they brought out my salad with croutons on top, and my salmon with a hunk of bread on the same plate. Very frustrating!

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet.  I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now.  He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs.  It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc.  It's literally neurological inflammation.  Not to be taken lightly here.  We have sought out many other possible ways to cope during this window of time (8 months!!!!)  without success.   AN-PEP does not help and seems like studies on this are not well researched.  So, we are trying this out because research shows some promising results.  And, all participants showed no cravings afterwards, no signs of addiction.  The patch is different than the oral route such as smoking, vaping, gum, pouch, etc.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-Free.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      @fatjacksonthecat I have been doing some digging about the topic of nicotine and celiac.  I came across many studies that showed that the nicotine patch helped many with long covid and chronic fatigue syndrome.  I have a son who was diagnosed with celiac and his symptoms are severe when he is glutened.  He shows a lot of neurological inflammation and suffered with fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety and insomnia. There have been studies revealing that nicotine smoke actually masking celiac symptoms.  I also read that microdosing with a nictoine patch prevents one from addiction.  We are currently trying this out and so far it has lifted the brain fog and helped with anxiety and mood.  One of the studies I have read showed that it's not so much the dose, but the length of time a person is on the patch that showed improvements.  Many showed significant improvement as early as week 3 and continued through week 12.  We are taking 3 day breaks in between to make sure we don't down regulate the nicotine receptors.   How have things been for you?  Are you still chewing nicotine gum?  Perhaps, try the patch?  And how long did it take to ease up on your symptoms when glutened?

      Hi @KathyR37 and a very warm welcome here.  I am so very sorry that you are going through all of this. I just wanted to check, have you ever been tested for any other gastrointestinal conditions? Cristiana

      @KathyR37, I would suspect that in addition to gluten intolerance, you have other food intolerances/sensitivities. This is very common in the celiac community. The most common offenders are oats, dairy, soy, corn and eggs with dairy and oats being the big two. Have you considered this? Have you tried keeping a food diary to detect patterns?
