Some Local Advice - Washington Dc


Matt Huck

Recommended Posts

Matt Huck Newbie

Hi,

Hopefully someone will read this before I travel.

I am living happily gluten-free in Sydney, Australia. I have to travel to a conference in Washington DC and am worried about finding my way around the gluten-free world in America!

Can anyone offer any advice - are normal supermarkets good for gluten-free products or do you need to look in helathfood shops etc? Eating out - I am a 32year old bloke and eat like one :) I have never travelled to the US before so am wary of the diet there - seems to be a lot of fried food (which is normally not gluten-free!)

Any suggestions would be gratefully accepted - I travel the second week of October, am staying at a Hilton hotel and attending a conference in the National conference centre.

Cheers

Matt

Hello! I haven't found a lot to eat in DC except Chinese food (veggies with no soy sauce). Here are some links that list some places to try:

There is a Whole Foods in DC, great to find gluten-free food and a Trader Joes (not as much as Whole Foods but good):

Some larger food stores have a little or a lot of gluten-free food but not always.

Have fun!

      If a Celiac person is successful in following a gluten-free diet, they can go into remission.   They may not have a reaction to gluten without a precipitating event like an injury or infection or even emotional or mental stress.   Following a strict gluten-free diet at home, then indulging in gluten containing products abroad without a reaction can be explained by this remission.

      Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Hi Theresa,  A few of my friends have your same story. You may be right about barley, etc.  18 years ago at a football game while clapping, suddenly my 4th finger was in agony.  It looked like a vein had burst. It was blue for a couple hours, then disappeared.  Finally realized it happened every time when drinking beer.  It's occurred several times over the years when opening a jar, lifting something that was a bit heavy, holding on to tight to something.  Immediate icing stops the pain and discoloration.  Now avoiding wheat in the US, it rarely happens.  Thanks for the reminder.  Will have Entero Labs run another test. Unfortunately they've relocated to Switzerland/Greece.

      The EMA test is an old and less sensitive test for anti-tTG2 antibodies. It relies on a technician using a microscope to check for fluorescence of a labelled substrate (typically monkey oesophagus or human umbilicus), giving a simple positive/negative result. It is similar to running a standard anti-tTG2 test but with a high cut-off, making it more specific but less sensitive. Transient rises in tTG2 can be caused by e.g. viral infections and inflammation. Very high levels of anti-tTG2 (>x10 standard range) are almost certainly coeliac disease but moderately raised levels can have several causes apart from coeliac disease. Other food allergies can cause villi blunting but that is much rarer than coeliac disease or other non-coeliac causes. Not All That Flattens Villi Is Celiac Disease: A Review of Enteropathies
