If You Could Travel Anywhere In The World, Where Would It Be?

I'm a travel fiend. Junkie, even. Exploring cultures, languages, history, architecture, art, geography, food and so on fascinates me to no end. So, if you were able to travel anywhere, where would you choose and why?

Although not exactly celiac friendly (but that is not the point here), my current picks would be Israel and Jordan, followed by Egypt for the above reasons. I would somehow like to get off the beaten path at times, though, as I dislike crowds. And no resorts for me, please.

Spain, Portugal and France (barge trip down the Canal du Midi), Scotland, Ireland, Wales. Devon and Cornwall,Italy, Greek islands cruise (some of these are repeats) and now that you have talked about it so much, Croatia. I am not into adventure travel - I leave that for the younger ones, and do not get any kicks out of going to dangerous countries. I am starting to sound my age :P

I was just thinking about this! I would go to India. After that, China and Japan. Growing up here in the States, I really notice the lack of history (and yes, I've been to Mesa Verde and other Native American sites). So places, such as India, with such an ancient culture that has stood for so long, absolutely fascinate me! One day!

New Zealand, Galapagos Islands, Australia, Ireland and Hawaii. In that order.

Although from pictures I have seen of NZ once I got there I might never come back.

China, Korea or Malaysia. Of course, I want to go places that would be very hard to travel and stay gluten-free. :ph34r: If I could MOVE anywhere in the world, even for just a few years I would go to Australia or Ireland. :)

From your list we have yet to go to Spain and Ireland.

If I were to do a Top 10 (make that 11) it would be:

1. Israel

2. Egypt (not at the moment, though!)

3. Turkey

4. Ireland

5. Romania

6. Lithuania

7. Hungary

8. Bulgaria

9. Poland

10. Estonia

11. Slovakia

We've been to many countries but have so many more as well! We have found the further east in Europe we travel (other than the UK) the more we love it. It becomes more real and far less commercialized. I love hearing Croatian and very little English, for example. We really enjoy being totally immersed in the culture - no impersonal hotels but B&Bs for us.

Heck, if money were no object, I'd like a private jet to avoid the hassles of getting to and from the airport and not be packed like a sardine in coach (I got spoiled when my daughter was a flight attendant and I could normally get either business class or first class).

When that happens, I'm sure I'll find lots of places to go. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Scotland was my first international trip and I've been back many times since. In fact, a piece of my heart was left behind there! Believe me - it is even more awesome than a person can possibly fathom.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @rei.b, Ehlers Danlos syndrome and Celiac Disease can occur together in genetically predisposed individuals.  Losing ones gallbladder is common with celiac disease. I'm glad Naltrexone is helping with your pain.  Naltrexone is known to suppress tTg IgA and tTg IgG production, so it's not surprising that only your DGP IgG and DGP IgA are high.   Have you tried the Autoimmune Protocol diet designed by Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, a Celiac herself?  The AIP diet helps lower inflammation and promotes intestinal healing.   The AIP diet is a Paleo diet that eliminates foods that can cause intestinal inflammation until you heal on the inside, then more foods can be added back in.  The low histamine AIP diet will help reduce inflammation further.   Histamine is released as part of the immune response in celiac disease.  Foods also contain various amounts of histamine or provoke histamine release.  Lowering the amount of histamine from foods helps.  The body, with help from B vitamins, can clear histamine, but if more histamine is consumed than can be cleared, you can stay in an inflammatory state for a long time. Cutting out high histamine foods is beneficial.  Omit night shades which contain alkaloids that add to leaky gut syndrome found with celiac disease.  Night shades include tomatoes, peppers including bell peppers, potatoes and eggplants.  Processed foods like sausages and gluten-free processed products are high in histamines.  All Grains are removed from the diet because they are inflammatory and provoke histamine release. Blood tests for deficiencies in B vitamins are notoriously inaccurate.  You can have vitamin deficiency symptoms before blood levels show a deficiency.  Blood levels do not accurately measure the quantity of B vitamins stored inside the cells where they are utilized.  The brain will order stored vitamins to be released from organs into the blood stream to keep the brain and heart supplied while deficiency occurs inside organs, like the gallbladder.  Gall bladder dysfunction is caused by a deficiency in Thiamine Vitamin B 1 and other B vitamins.   The eight essential B vitamins are water soluble and easily lost with diarrhea and constipation, and the malabsorption and inflammation that occurs with celiac disease.  Because they are water soluble, the body can easily excrete any excess B vitamins in urine.  The best way to see if you are deficient is to take a B Complex and Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and look for health improvements in the following weeks.  Most B Complex supplements contain Thiamine Mononitrate which is not bioavailable.  The body has a difficult time utilizing thiamine mononitrate because it doesn't break down easily.  Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing.   Remember your intestines are in a damaged, permeable state.  Treat them tenderly, like you would a baby until they heal.  You wouldn't feed a baby spicy bell peppers and hard to digest corn and nuts.  Change your diet so your intestines can heal.   I use a combination of B12 Cobalamine, B 6 Pyridoxine, and B1 Benfotiamine for pain.  These three B vitamins have analgesic properties.  They relieve pain better than other otc pain relievers.

      I hadn't been eating gluten free before having the antibody test done. I started eating gluten free after having the test done because the gastro PA told me to eat gluten-free for 6 months. I'm now 3 months in.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      I tend to agree with RMJ. Your doc took the reasonable and practical approach to diagnosis. All things considered, it was the right way to go. However, if you have first degree relatives that show signs of possible celiac disease, urge them to get formally tested before they start the gluten free diet.
