A couple of my friends are in a band that's playing there on Saturday, and dinner is included with the show. I want to go to support them, but I was thinking "oh great... this is a dinner theater. There's no way I'm gonna be able to avoid gluten." I was wrong.

I just got off the phone with them. I spoke with the guy at reservations, who transferred me to the chef. We had a nice chat about what I could and couldn't eat, what's safe and what isn't, and he understands cross-contamination. My menu is going to be a salad, no croutons, no dressing, baked potato, and chicken and ribs, no sauce. I'm going to be allowed to bring in my own salad dressing and barbecue sauce.

They tagged my reservation so they know exactly where I'm going to be sitting, and assure me there won't be any problems, as they deal with diabetics and others with special diets all the time. Their website even states that they have a full kitchen and can easily accommodate most dietary restrictions. The phone call was a great experience, and I'm really looking forward to dinner.

They also have a magic show. If this evening goes well, I will probably go back to see that. =)

I had a great dinner last night!

When I got there, I reminded the waitress that my meal was supposed to be gluten free. We had a brief chat about cross-contamination and cooking on clean parts of the grill or in fresh pans, and she ran back to check with the kitchen to make sure everything for my meal had been kept separate and nobody had forgotten. She came out to tell me that everything was fine and I could relax and enjoy the show.

I got a salad, no dressing no croutons, a baked potato, steamed veggies, and ribs, no barbecue sauce. I brought my own barbecue sauce and salad dressing.

Although my meal was pretty different from everyone else's (standard is cole slaw, baked beans, soup, cornbread, ribs and/or chicken), it was wonderful, and they really went out of their way to make sure it was safe, and came out to check right after my meal was brought to make sure it was right. They also didn't charge extra.

I was really impressed. They made the evening really relaxing, and I felt like they were really paying close attention to what was going on, both in the dining room and in their kitchen.

Overall, they were awesome. A+

Thanks for sharing, great to know. Is that the place that has "Merlin's Magic Dinner Show?" If so, was it entertaining, or cheesy? I've always wondered about that!

It was the same restaurant, but I wasn't there for the magic show. They have other stuff there once in a while too, and my friends' band had a show there, so I was there for that. I'm going to go back and see the magic show, though, now that I know I can eat there and the food is good!

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      This article does not address migraines at all. Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines...

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems. Everything in moderation. Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese. Sulfites cause a high histamine release. High histamine levels are found in migraine. Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet,...

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Body dysmorphia experience

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self.

With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Body dysmorphia experience

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
