Back From The Wedding

I made it back from the wedding and was able to do the trip and only end up exhausted but not glutened. It was a wonderful event and nicely done and I took my own advice and some hints from others and basically brought my kitchen with me. Although the facility said they could make me a gluten free dinner at the reception I realized that the turkey was the same as everyone was getting and I just didn't want to take a chance so I ate a cup of fresh fruit instead and then opened a can of beef stew when I got back to the hotel. Was it a pain to bring a pan, silverware, dishes and food with me traveling, yes but it was worth it not to get sick. My poor old body can't take so many hours driving but thankfully I didn't have to deal with any gluten symptoms.

I did discover that my exhusbands family does have other diagnosed celiacs. Not a real big surprise since he himself is. I am still worried about my DD. I wish she would get back on the diet as she was a beautiful bride but so very thin but I can't push her about it. We all know what happens when a Mom pushes.

Anyway I wanted to let everyone know that as much as I feared the trip the preplanning food wise was definately the way to go. Next time I visit I will take 2 days to do drive there though. Nothing like a 7 or so hour drive to remind one that yes they do have arthritis.

Well thank heavens, 'cause you give some pretty good advice!

I'm glad it went well for you. It really is about the event and not the food, isn't it?

It sure is. I didn't even get any weird looks at the dinner the night before when all I ate was the salad. I hadn't even ordered one as I assumed it would have croutons but when I saw it didn't I was going to order but ended up with 2 nonsalad eating folks donating theirs. I was afraid I would be selfconsious about not eating but that didn't turn out to be the case at all. Happy socializing is definately possible even in our 'foodie' society after all. :)

Glad it went so well and congratulations to your daughter! :)

I think sometimes people will ask why someone isn't eating out of curiosity but for the most part people are so self absorbed they forget it about it pretty quickly! lol

I rarely eat at weddings anyway, because I am a really picky eater and thus rarely like the food. (Didn't even really eat the food at my wedding, in part because I busy talkin to all my friends and family. It was a small luncheon. Thank Goodness! Not a big people person meself) Or they have a million desserts. All chocolate... GRRR So my wedding problems aren't too much a problem. I do what I always do. People really don't care as much as it would seem!

But I am so glad your wedding turned out so well! And congratulations to your daughter.

Congratulations to you and your daughter!

Love the post saying it's about the event, not the food. I was just saying that to my

grandmother regarding Thanksgiving! :D

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
