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!

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Fighting for a name

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
