Company Dinner- Contd

I posted a few days ago on my company dinner- again thankfully I was able to have safe food thanks to the kind and diligent staff. Of course I got the raised eyebrows when I got my own salad and food that looked nothing like what everyone else was eating, but at least i didnt go to bed sick...unlike everyone else at the table who had heartburn and was belching up rancid foulness from binge eating. what i dont understand is why people must over eat the way they do...its just nasty. also the meals were family style and the servers kept bringing out massive platters of pasta coated with thick sauces and cheese...i just dont see the appeal. Does this make me a food snob?

The 2nd night was a bit of a disappointment. The plan was to go to Firebirds which has a gluten-free menu but then my boss said hes calling the shots and everyone wound up going to Longhorn..I politely said that I was going to skip out on dinner, just pick something up at the market and then go back to my room to work and my boss was fine with that. I was upset, because i was looking forward to a nice steak dinner at Firebirds but my boss felt it was too pricey. SO I just had rice pasta, a piece of salmon and greenbeans in my hotel room

Oh Jason what are we going to do with you! Longhorn will grill a lovely steak on foil for us gluten-free people. You missed out again by not doing your homework ahead of time! Again the manager comes out & prepares a steak to your liking rare, medium or well.

You must always preplan when you know the restaurant. I know that it may not always be the case that you know where you will be having dinner but for the times you know PLEASE call ahead so you don't miss out...

Remember you have control over celiac don't let it control you.....

Bummer! I know that fear that paralyzes you and makes you want to run away from eating out.

Have you started the antiparasite meds yet? How is it going with that?

I've actually eaten at Longhorn a number of times, they have a gluten free menu. I think this is the sort of case where you might want to just invest the money in a call to 411 and call the place as soon as you find out you're going there. They have great steak and you definitely missed out.

      still struggling with cravings

      as my last post stated, i was diagnosed via endoscopy on the 14th of june. i have been eating amazing home cooked meals, luckily, mainly cooked by my boyfriend who is extremely careful about contamination (and is an incredible cook at that). however, i find myself in a mental rut still. being 18, this is the time in my life where i should be exploring...

      Toothpaste question.

      Thank you. I must have misinterpreted a study or something. Thank you for the clarification. Much appreciated. Almost three years into my celiac diagnosis and I'm still learning new things.

      Manitol and mri

      I wasn’t clear, glucagon and gadolinium were intravenous. I drank about 5 cups of the prep during 45 minutes. I feel very tired now, probably partly because I was nervous, and partly because I had to fast for 6 hours beforehand and wasn’t very hungry when I got home.

      as my last post stated, i was diagnosed via endoscopy on the 14th of june. i have been eating amazing home cooked meals, luckily, mainly cooked by my boyfriend who is extremely careful about contamination (and is an incredible cook at that). however, i find myself in a mental rut still. being 18, this is the time in my life where i should be exploring things, going out, having fun. yet every corner i turn i'm tortured by the amazing smell of something i can't have anymore. the wonderful sight of such yummy foods. it's near torture. if my boyfriend and his friend who lives with us buy something i can't have, they'll usually eat it outside of the house or the car or wherever we are - which is greatly appreciated - but even seeing a burger or chips or a sausage roll in their hands guts me almost beyond repair. i just wanna have it again too. i miss it. i feel left out and it makes me very sad all the time. it's not their fault. they are allowed to eat whatever they want to, whatever their intestines will allow. it just stings, bad. and i feel so ungrateful given i basically have a private chef who is doubly the love of my life. but it's just so hard. i know i'll adapt. i haven't given up hope.i just wanted to vent. thank you for reading

      The solution I had to drink contained sorbitol and mannitol. I was in the MRI, lying on my back, for about 40 minutes. I was given glucagon partway through, and a gadolinium contrast agent. After I got home there was some diarrhea from the prep solution.
