My sister is a reporter for a local paper and she got a press release in the mail about Holiday World in Indiana. She told me that they are very aware of allergies. So I checked out their website and she was right. They have a pretty good menu. And seems like there is a pretty good amount of stuff to do in that area too. We are going in May..I will post again after I have visited. I thought everyone would like to know. :D

Speaking of amusement parks, I just have to share my experiences with Disney World. I had some of the best gluten free dining experiences while on vacation. The first day I ate in the Magic Kingdom. My family and I went to a burger joint and I fully expected to eat a burger with no bun and no fries on the side. Low and behold, I was very very wrong. When I went to order my food, I asked the cashier if she knew if the fries were fried in the same oil as chicken tenders. She asked if I had an allergy, I said yes, and she said wait here let me get you a manager. The manager comes out toting a huge binder full of allergy information. We flipped to the celiac section together and pieced together a meal for me. I had a hamburger, with a bun! It was some really great bread too. She also had the chefs bake some French fries for me so I could have fries with my lunch. Also, when she brought out my burger, she brought me two, just in case I got hungry later! I wrapped the burger up and brought it home for a snack later. The next day while in Epcot, I had another fantastic meal in Little Italy. We were having a bit harder of a time finding food, all of the countries had gluten free options (which were wonderful) but some were more limited than others. We passed by Little Italy and I really didn

      Thanks for replying. Hopefully biopsy will help clarify things. She’s keeping up with her gluten intake and last message from her said she’s paying the price for it!!!!

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      It is addictive. The dopamine hit I get from a sandwich after being gluten free for a while is insane and I immediately crave more. Maybe if I think of it more like an addiction I'll be able to beat it in the future.

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      Undiagnosed Celiac Disease was your root cause.  As you heal and adress nutritional deficiencies you'll see lifetime symptoms disapear, some you don't even realize you have.     Until 1951 no one knew the cause.  Around 1900 it was also called "Infantilism", you outgrew it or died.  Dr Hass around 1920 was the first to come up with a treatment with close to 100% survival.  At 63 I followed his diet for a while and it helped me past the early stage of recovery.  Even then it was only considered a childhood disease, eventually the child outgrew it.  Once outgrown the child was reintroduced to wheat.  After that any symptoms that arose were attributed to whatever was popular, gall bladder, allergy, endometriosis, etc.  Often the final diagnosis is "we do not know the cause, it is just normal for some people, but we have medications that will treat your symptoms."   I was bloated, and always colicky.  When my son was born in 1976, my mother commented "You got what you gave."  I pointed out to my wife that he looked like a Biafra baby from the Biafra famine in 1970.  One of the first successful sales of modern wheat was to replace the rice the Biafran Aid Society supplied.  After searching the state where we lived (pop. 6 million) we found the one child gastroenterologist familiar with Celiac.  He only had 13 other children dianosed with the disease under his care and after several endoscopies my son was diagnosed, put on GFD and immediately thrived.  The doctor also suggested my wife and I also do gluten free.  We declined, not having any gastro problems.  That remains my only regret in my life. THE VALUE OF THE BANANA IN THE TREATMENT OF CELIAC DISEASE  Dr Hass' 1924 puplication with diet. There are over 300 symptoms related to celiac disease I believe that if you have the genes, you have Celiac Disease, but your immune system is strong enough to keep it subdued, or your symptoms are misdiagnosed as something not wheat.  Until something happens to weaken the immune system, and symptoms, often misdiagnosed and wrongly treated, until eventually you die, never knowing or you get lucky and end up eating gluten free.  To me it explains the late onset of acute symptoms, many are "just normal for you". Ever wonder why people get so angry if you suggest they may have Celiac Disease.  Wheat is a cultural and economic staple of our lives.  And it is addictive, it numbs our body.  Suddenly, gluten free, all the other irritants are no longer suppressed.

      I don't think we can say that just one thing, whether vitamin D deficiency or emotional trauma, or a viral infection, or what ever is always what triggers the onset of celiac disease. We do know there is a genetic component to it and there is increasing evidence that factors creating gut dysbiosis (such as overuse of antibiotics and preservatives and environmental toxins) are major players. Hybridizing of heirloom wheat strains to increase the gluten content by multiples may also be a factor.

      Thanks for the follow-up correction. Yes, so not 10x normal and the biopsy is therefore totally appropriate to rule out a false positive or the unlikely but still possible situation of the elevated lab test number being caused by something besides celiac disease.
