I Just Have To Say How Happy I Am

We just got back from a 3 day road trip. We ate out 1x/day for 4 days straight. I packed most of the food for myself and my celiac 12 month old. I've been working on keeping him gluten-free, but it is extremely hard with a toddler once we leave home, as they are apt to put anything into their mouths. Since we started our gluten-free household 7 months ago, we have usually had 1-2 glutenings/month for ds. I was resigned to the fact that we would get glutened on our trip. I am thrilled to report that we made it through a chinese buffet, and american buffet, a wendy's and a steakhouse without incident!! It's so empowering to me to know that it's possible to stay gluten-free on the road. It's one thing to say you are gluten-free, but something else entirely to reach the point where you know you aren't getting secretly glutened, and you are informed and forceful enough to survive restaurants safely. I hope everyone can get here.

thanks for listening,

happy happy mom of a celiac toddler.

Awesome!! If you can do it with a toddler, the rest of us adults can surely do it. Can you share what kind of foods you chose at the buffets?

      So I purchased the Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine along with the Thiamax. I will take along with my Super B Complexes. I stopped taking the multi vitamins. Should I take all 3 vitamins/supplements together with my morning oatmeal breakfast? Do you think I will experience any bad symptoms when taking them.

      Of all the countries I have visited in Europe, Asia, and the Americas, I have found eating out in Ireland to be the safest for celiacs. Most restaurants have all allergens (up to 14 different ones) identified on their menus, including wheat and gluten. I have found staff at restaurants to be very knowledgeable regarding gluten and cross-contamination compared to most other countries. Restaurant staff (including management) in Ireland even tried dissuading me from eating some items labeled 'gluten-free' on the menu, fearing that there could be risk of minuscule cross-contamination. Many of the hotels have fresh baked gluten-free breads, pastries, and cakes at their breakfast buffet, something unheard of in most U.S hotels. These are clearly labeled and well separated from gluten-containing items. There are also quite a few gluten-free desserts to satisfy one's sweet tooth.  With everything said and done, the meats and dairy products are simply delicious and worth trying. Overall, I would give dining out in Ireland five stars for celiac safety and quality.

      No, I meant two years ago when you had your most recent upper GI scope.

      yes it was very notable during the pre diagnosis of coeliacs in fact it was all the time.
