Husbands Class Reunion

My husbands class reunion is this weekend and I have no clue what to do for food while there. I contacted the coordinator of the reunion and asked what would be served and she said sesame chicken and a fajita bar. I know some chicken has fillers added and I am sure the steak on the fajita bar will have some gluten in it with my luck.

I have emailed the women again asking about any fruit but then should I worry about cross contamination from the guest and staff??

Should I even attempt to eat that night or just eat before I go??

Oh I have only been gluten free for 2 weeks so this is all really new to me.

I too have my husband class reunion this weekend.

I am fortunate that the reunion is in the town where I live and I am familiar with what will be served. Nothing will work for me.

I plan on bringing a plate of peeled spiced shrimp (with old bay), gluten free crackers and a couple of samples of cheese, grapes and fresh veggies. Wine is being served, so I will drink that.

If people ask, I just say that I have food allergies. If they look like they would like to hear more, then I can elaborate.

I play on doing alot of dancing. Hope you have fun too.

Thanks, it is looking like I will be also packing a small bag of food for myself. I think I will just pack some crackers, tuna and grapes.

You can take your own food, but you could also ask the coordinator for the name and number of the caterer.

I just sent an email to the chef and am hoping that he will email me back letting me know if any of the food served will be gluten free. If not I have also asked if I can bring my own food with me.

I am really hoping that there will be something there I can eat.

Thanks, sorry about that. I was typing and talking to Jackson, my son.

      Is it gluten?

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
