Holiday Travel To San Luis Obispo And Fresno / Clovis

Can anyone recommend restaurants in San Luis Obispo or the Fresno / Clovis area? I'm headed there for Christmas, which is my first trip home and to the in-laws after my diagnosis...thankfully, family will be good about cooking for/with me, but I know they'll want to go out at least once in each location. Advice will be helpful. Thanks!

Dingogirl (Susie) is a much-loved member here who has lived in Clovis for some time. You could send her a PM.......I know that she would be more than happy to tell you where to go when you are there. Perhaps you could meet her - - I know I would love to! :)

HI!! <waving hand wildly> I am here!!! :) (my lovely, silly friends would have wrangled me had I not shown up! ;) )

Yes, I live in Clovis, and was raised in Fresno (the next town over). Just got back from dinner at PF Chang's, highly recommend that....they treat celiacs well.

I have other ideas also! Please fell free to pick my brain, either here or by private message, I"m happy to help!

Susie,

Sorry it took me a few days to loop back. Would you mind giving me two or three places that you like going to the best and have had good experiences at? I am still pretty new to this and have had some bad experiences at restaurants, so places that have been test driven and have reasonably knowledgable staff (or where I have one or two dishes that I know to ask about) are a huge plus.

I am excited to hear that there is a PF Chang's, and I believe that there is also a Pizza Fushion in the area, but other than that I am clueless.

Thanks,

Joy

      There are other Celiac genes. HLA DQ 2 and HLA DQ 8 show up in people from Northern European descent.   People of Mediterranean descent have HLA DQ 7.  People of Asian descent have HLA DQ 9.   There's other Indigenous populations that have other HLA genes that code for Celiac disease.   Are you still having symptoms?   What do you include in your diet?  Are you vegetarian? Are you taking any prescription medication?  Omeprazole?  Metformin?   Do you have anemia?  Thyroid problems? Are you taking any vitamins or herbal supplements?

      There are eight essential B vitamins.  They are all water soluble.  Any excess of B vitamins is easily excreted by the kidneys.   Thiamine is Vitamin B 1.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Benfotiamine and TTFD are forms of Thiamine that the body can utilize very easily.   The form of Thiamine in the supplements you mentioned is Thiamine Mononitrate, a form that the body does not absorb well and does not utilize well.  Only about thirty percent of the amount on the label is actually absorbed in the small intestine.  Less than that can actually be used by the body.  Manufacturers add thiamine mononitrate to their products because it's cheap and shelf-stable.  Thiamine and other B vitamins break down when exposed to light and heat and over time.  Thiamine Mononitrate is a form that does not break down over time sitting on a shelf waiting for someone to buy them.  What makes Thiamine Mononitrate shelf stable makes it difficult for the body to turn into a useable form.  In fact, it takes more thiamine to turn it into a useable form.   Gastrointestinal Beriberi is a localized shortage of Thiamine in the gastrointestinal tract.  High carbohydrate meals can result in gastrointestinal symptoms of Gastric Beriberi.  Fiber is a type of carbohydrate.  So, high fiber/carbohydrate snacks could trigger Gastric Beriberi.   Since blood tests for Thiamine and other B vitamins are so inaccurate, the World Health Organization recommends trying Thiamine and looking for health improvement because it's safe and nontoxic.

      Thanks very interesting I have to see if I should take these 2 vitamins along with my multi and super Vit B complex or if its too much or would hurt me. I don't have any other health issues but would love to see if this improves anything especially to feel stronger build muscle.
