Tournaments!

Hey everybody, I play college ultimate frisbee and we have a series of tournaments coming, the first of which is about a 4-5 hour drive from where I go to school.

I often see people post that they feel safe eating chinese food, and I was wondering what people order at chinese restaurants? I know we can't eat soy sauce, so the CC risk has me pretty nervous...are there staple menu items that people generally find safe or do you have to describe a dish they don't advertise?

I'm going to try to cook myself a lot of food the day I leave, but I'll be gone friday-sunday which, especially for a 19 year year old guy is a lot of meal times to fill in.

Thanks a lot.

I traval alot and pack a lot of foods to carry along with me. Nuts, crackers, dried fruits, cheese, packaged meat.

I find these bang around good in a back pack. I have a back pack that is my portable kitchen. Bring a can opener.

I also my bake cookies or muffins so I do not feel deprived. I try to eat out one meal a day.

Look at the Boston market and Wendy's site, many chains have food allergy charts. I ask to see them.

( at Wendy's you can eat a ceaser salad and cheese and bacon baked potato and frosties)

Your meals may be odd but it is only for a weekend. I always tell my server that wheat is like poison ivy to me and they get it. Some time they even already know someone that is gluten free. That helps.

Good luck

      Very good pizzeria with small dining room in back of the restaurant. The owner's daughter has celiac & they have gluten free pizza & a gluten free menu. Some items from the regular menu can be made gluten free also. They have a lunch menu which we ordered from & my chicken with spinach & mozzarella over gluten-free penne was delicious. They also have Tuesday night pasta specials & Thursday night chicken pasta specials. We plan on going back for dinner soon.

      @Aretaeus Cappadocia and @Russ H thank you both for your helpful advice and information. I haven't seen a GI in years. They never helped me aside from my inital diagnosis. All other help has come from my own research, which is why I came here. I will be even more careful in the future.

      @nancydrewandtheceliacclue, you are welcome. After looking at this thread again, I would like to suggest that some of the other comments from @Russ H are worth following up on. The bird-bread may or may not be contributing to what you are experiencing, but it seems unlikely to be the whole story. If you have access to decent healthcare, I would write down your experiences and questions in outline form and bring this to your Dr. I suggest writing it down so you don't get distracted from telling the Dr everything you want to say while you have their attention.

      @Russ H, I partly agree and partly disagree with you. After looking at it again, I would say that the slick graphic I posted overestimates the risk. Your math is solid, although I find estimates of gluten in white bread at 10-12% rather than the 8% you use. Somewhat contradicting what I wrote before, I agree with you that it would be difficult to ingest 10 mg from flinging bread.  However, I would still suggest that @nancydrewandtheceliacclue take precautions against exposure in this activity. I'm not an expert, I could easily be wrong, but if someone is experiencing symptoms and has a known exposure route, it's possible that they are susceptible to less than 10 mg / day, or it is possible that there is/are other undetected sources of exposure that together with this one are causing problems. At any rate, I would want to eliminate any exposure until symptoms are under control before I started testing the safety of potentially risky activities. Here is another representation of what 10 mg of bread would look like. https://www.glutenfreewatchdog.org/news/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/10mgGlutenCrumbsJules.jpg Full article that image came from: https://www.glutenfreewatchdog.org/news/what-does-10-mg-of-gluten-look-like/

      @Aretaeus Cappadocia thank you for your reply and the link, that is very helpful to get a visual of just how small of an amount can cause a reaction. I know I am not consuming gluten or coming into contact with gluten from any other source. I will stop touching/tossing bread outside! My diet has not changed, and I do not have reactions to the things I am currently eating, which are few in number. My auto immune reaction just seems so severe. The abdominal pain is extreme. It takes a lot out of me. I guess I will be this way for the rest of my life if I ever happen to come into contact with gluten? I appreciate the help.
