Cape Girardeau, Mo

Hi. I am both gluten intolerant and egg intolerant. This is probably a long shot, but is anyone familiar with being gluten-free in Cape Girardeau, MO? I will have to travel there on business and need to find ways to feed myself. I'm a little concerned about this because I will be working from 7 am until 7 pm, and I will not be able to leave to get food. That means I will have to either bring all my own food with me for lunch and dinner each day, or have food delivered. To me, this seems like a daunting task to have to feed myself like this for an entire week, especially because I will be staying in a motel room and won't have access to a home kitchen.

I have found one supermarket in the area that may carry gluten-free products, and I will be calling the store manager on Monday to see what they carry in the way of prepared foods like Amy's frozen meals. I guess I can plan to bring in things like yogurt, fruit, juice and some snacks. I am trying to avoid having to have a grilled chicken salad for lunch and dinner every night. I will try to scope out the restaurants for gluten-free food and what might be able to be delivered. Possibly I could purchase dinner items at night and then store in my motel refrigerator. I will be flying in, so I won't be able to bring a lot of things with me and will have to purchase everything when I get there.

If anybody has any knowledge of the area or additional ideas or suggestions, I would very much appreciate it.

      Blood results

      @Heatherisle, Has your daughter been checked for vitamin and mineral deficiencies? A combination of Thiamine Hydrochloride (or Benfotiamine) and B12 and Pyridoxine B6 relieves pain as well as over-the-counter pain relievers. What sort of food does she eat on the GFD? Many gluten free processed foods?

      Confused about HLA-DQ Celiac gene test result

She’s never been a fan of processed foods like cold ham but does like bacon and will also buy gluten free sausages. Shares a flat with her friend who is aware of her coeliac. As far as I’m aware they’re very careful about cross contamination but I know it’s possible it happens from time to time

      Your doctor is incorrect! Your positive DQB1*02 is all you need to develop Celiac disease.  Just having one copy is sufficient to develop Celiac.   Reference: Carrier frequency of HLA-DQB1*02 allele in patients affected with celiac disease: A systematic review assessing the potential rationale of a targeted allelic genotyping as a first-line screening "...importantly, a comparable risk of celiac disease development was present in individuals carrying a double dose of HLA-DQB1*02 alleles, no matter the paired HLA-DQA1 alleles." And... "If we could consider a mass screening looking for the carrier status of HLA-DQB1*02 only, we may identify 95% of celiac disease predisposed patients and, concomitantly, rule out (with no more than a 5% error) the lifetime risk of disease in 60%-70% of the general population: These non-predisposed individuals should never receive the serological screening, unless any consistent clinical symptoms appear at some point of the existence without any other explanation." https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7109277/ Classical celiac disease is more frequent with a double dose of HLA-DQB1*02: A systematic review with meta-analysis https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6375622/ Also, the Malabsorption of Celiac can cause low B vitamins (and minerals) that are related to poor oral health.
