Education Materials For Restaurants, Caterers, Etc.

I'm trying to locate some sort of document that I could give to caterers, hotel staff, etc. that would educate them on how to prepare a gluten free meal and potential sources for CC that they should watch out for. I feel like this should exist somewhere, but I've had no luck finding it.

I'm going to be attending a work "retreat" in a few weeks at a hotel (that's basically in the middle of nowhere), and I want to try to make sure I can eat safely. I contacted the person who's organizing the event and she sent me the menu and said the hotel assured me there would be staff there knowledgeable about ingredients and preparation of the food. For the first evening, an "Italian Buffet" is planned which of course includes spaghetti and meatballs, lasagna, fettuccine, pasta salad, ceasar salad, bread, some veggies, and other gluten-y desserts. So nothing's looking too promising, except possibly the veggies. I wanted to be able to find something I could send to the hotel before hand so they make sure to have something on hand that I can eat. I've got the triumph dining cards, but they're pretty small, so I'm wondering if there is something that's a little more comprehensive. Thanks!

The Australian Coeliac Society has these resources on their website. They might be a little too Australian specific for your needs (ie Australia has stricter food labelling laws than the U.S. and oats are a big no-no for coeliacs), but maybe you can cut and paste the info to make something that suits your needs.

Thanks Mack! Definitely helpful - you're right, a little "Australia-specific," like the parts about wheat dextrose and the gluten free label overriding the ingredient list. But still most of the information is applicable in the U.S. too. Anyone have any other ideas or tips? Thanks!

      Gluten Sensitivity

      By The Logician · Posted

      To Trent’s, yes, from what i’ve read it is not uncommon for digestive systems to become less tolerant to gluten over time. Many types of sensitivity or allergies arise in older people who never had a problem. I don’t see why you are focusing on anything but the fact that after years of my sensitivity to gluten, for whatever reason , it has disappeared after a bout of antibiotics. What i’ve read is antibiotics can make gluten sensitivity worse. In any event, in my case, if I can still eat all the wheat products I want with no reaction after a month or more since my hospital stay this is something that should be investigated. Time will tell.

      I had a UTI, blood cultures are standard to insure that the infection does not get in the bloodstream which can lead to sepsis and death. In my case there was bacteria in my blood which necessitated 48 hours of antibiotic IV

      Finally got in to doctor to get my referral and I lucked out and got into Gastro the same day - question about different transglutaminase results

      Hi Cameo674. just read your post. Well wishes to a correct diagnosis so that you can get on track to healing and feeling better. Personally I know it’s good to have the eosinophilic disorder ruled out too, as this can show anti-ttg igA antibodies too. But usually without the anti-gliadin antibodies unless gliadin is an allergen for you. Thanks for posting the link to look up SNPs rs… numbers on another post. Was useful. Looking at your result, ”Celiac Associated HLD-DQ Typing: DQA1* Value: 05; DQA1*DQA11 Value: 05; DQB1* Value: 02; DQB1-DQB11 Value: 02; Celiac Gene Pairs Present Value: Yes; Celiac HLA Interpretation Value: These genes are permissive for celiac disease.  However, these genes can also be present in the normal population. Testing performed by SSOP.  So google failed me.  I think these results basically say I have genes, but everybody has these genes so this test was just to confirm that there is a vague possibility?  Maybe this test result explains why I do not have the horrible symptoms most individuals with celiac have?  I told the GI my assumption is that I am just gluten intolerant since I do not have the pain? So maybe this test explains why I have antibodies?” To me it reads.that you carry the high risk HLADQ2.5 haplotype.

      Hello. Do you mind saying what symptoms led the doctors to test for bacteria in your blood?

      So you you ate wheat products every single day for 50 years without a problem but then in the 90's you discovered that wheat was your problem. That's confusing to me. It seems contradictory. Did you have a problem or not?
