Hi,

I got my final diagnosis of celiac disease 6 weeks ago :angry:

I live in Germany but I had already booked my trip to the States.

I am looking forward to it very much but I am a little unsure how I will get along with my new gluten free diet :unsure:

I won't live much in hotels. I will mostly stay with friends but they don't know celiac disease.

I will stay in Montana (Dillon, Bozeman), Indiana (Bloomington, Indianapolis), Cincinatti and Chicago :D:lol:

Has anyone hints for me where to get gluten free stuff? Maybe you know of restaurant chains, restaurants or shops of any kinds in these places that are celiac friendly?

Thank you in advance :)

Cheers,

Tinka

I find it's relatively easy to eat gluten-free in most any city. Grocery stores in urban areas almost always have gluten-free sections and several restaurant chains (Chili's, Outback, Ruby Tuesdays, ect...) have gluten-free menus. Here are some links that will hopefully be helpful in finding restaurants.

Type the cities you are visiting into glutenfreeregistry.com and you will find some lists of gluten-free restaurants/stores as well as reviews.

Of the places you listed I have only visited Bloomington, IN. I remember they have a large farmers market where you can get tons of fresh produce. There is also an organics store there called Bloomingfoods Market and Deli that has many gluten-free options (from gluten-free bread to gluten-free flours), however the store is a Co-op and you have to be a member to shop there. Perhaps your friends will have a membership and can buy some things for you. There is a Whole Foods store in Indianapolis where you should be able to buy some gluten-free things as well.

Montana wow XD (i used to live there and been through those citys before i was DX'd)

Well, your best bet would be to raid a food store as soon as you get there and stock up on snacks.

I do know that Outback steakhouse has a gluten free menu.

      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
