My husband and I have season tickets to the Cleveland Browns. It really irritates me that there is no gluten free foods in the entire stadium. When I asked I was told there was an area that had vege wraps, yeah wrapped in a flour tortilla. Does anyone else feel really left out at these type of events? Any ideas? I am sure children attend these games too, I can't be the only celiac person in the entire stadium.

Come watch the Browns when they play the Ravens in Baltimore and you'll find something safe to eat...

I have gotten notes from the stadium to allow me to bring food in. Some stuff will be gluten-free. Popcorn, peanuts, drinks, candy, ice cream. It's all over priced anyway.

Sory, I would expect it to be non gluten-free at a ballpark. I eat ahead of time, luckily my DP is happy with watching about 3 innings, then scooting towards home base.

We have a good meal and watch the rest of the game on TV at home, sweet home.

(We don't have season tickets though... maybe it's worthwhile to contact the field manager.)

Speaking for myself, I'd rather eat what I've prepared and cooked vs. trusting somebody who's dealing with buns all day to cook me something that won't make me sick.) Even if you were to offer me safe french fries, I couldn't get that excited. Are FF really food?

I don't know, but I'm guessing that if your dr. wrote a note on a prescription pad that you had severe food allergies and needed to eat every two hours to maintain blood sugar levels, you could bring whatever you want to the ballpark. Then you could pack your own food, like hummus and veggie sticks.

There's a road we all have to go down. You can choose to take it any way you want to. Sometimes we have to pre-plan, sometimes we need to opt out of family dinners or sporting events, or plan and pack our own foods. It isn't nessarily cool, but it's a survival mode, for me, not necessariy you.

I eat peanuts! It's not a ball game without peanuts in the shell anyway. B) I've also gotten popcorn, Cracker Jack, and hot dogs without the bun at ball parks.

We take our own to AFL or wherever. That way if we find something that's gluten free it's a bonus but otherwise we have our own food.

The MCG in Melbourne has gluten free pies and the members area has gluten free beer. they also have a Spud Bar which has lots of gluten free options.

Rod Laver Arena sells gluten free pies during the Australian Open.

If you are ever in NY - Yankees Stadium has gluten free beer and Citifield has an entire section of gluten free foods and drinks.

I took, some peanuts,some cheese sticks, and bottled water. I did contact the office last year was told they couldn't do anything to help me. I hope as time goes on and more people are diagnosed it will be easier to obtain food out in the public. I guess all we can do is continue to educate the public. Thanks for listening, I was only diagnosed in August of 2010, I guess I still get angry every once in awhile that I am the minority when it comes to eating out.

The office can't help much. They would have people who run the food stalls that they pay to come out. Those people will provide what they provide and the stadium won't be able to sway them.

I'm not trying to be glib here but buy a big purse!!! I take my own food everywhere now and I have a big purse. Security might check it but will they throw away your food? Don't know.

Come to San Diego. You can get a gluten-free hotdog, gluten-free bun and a gluten-free beer! Of course, I don't eat those either, so yeah, I always carry a giant purse, and sometimes a doctors note...but I usually smile and don't get harassed about it.

Honestly, does it make me feel left out? Yes, a bit. But I try to prepare myself extra yummy things for those times - makes me feel a little better.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By trents · Posted

      My migraines generally have their onset during the early morning hours as well. Presently, I am under siege with them, having headaches all but two days so far this month. I have looked at all the things reported to be common triggers (foods, sleep patterns, weather patterns, stress, etc.). Every time I think I start to see a pattern it proves not to pan out in the long run. I'm not sure it's any one thing but may, instead, be a combination of things that coalesce at certain times. It's very frustrating. The medication (sumatriptan or "Imatrix") is effective and is the only thing that will quell the pain. NSAIDs, Tylenol, even hydrocodone doesn't touch it. But they only give you 9 does of sumatriptan a month. And it doesn't help that medical science doesn't really know what causes migraines. They know some things about it but the root cause is still a mystery.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Just a gluten free diet is not enough.  Now you have to identify and replenish your malnutrition.  Celiac disease is co-morbid with malabsorption syndrome.  Low vitamin D, Low Thiamine caused Gastointeston Beriberi, low choline, low iodine are common the general population, and in newly diagnosed Celiacs in the western culture its is more likely.  It takes time to heal and you need to focus on vitamins and minerals.  Gluten free foods are not fortified like regular processed foods.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By Sarah Grace · Posted

      Dear Kitty Since March I have been following your recommendations regarding vitamins to assist with various issues that I have been experiencing.  To recap, I am aged 68 and was late diagnosed with Celiac about 12 years ago.  I had been experiencing terrible early morning headaches which I had self diagnosed as hypoglycaemia.  I also mentioned that I had issues with insomnia, vertigo and brain fog.   It's now one year since I started on the Benfotiamine 600 mg/day.  I am still experiencing the hypoglycaemia and it's not really possible to say for sure whether the Benfotiamine is helpful.  In March this year, I added B-Complex Thiamine Hydrochloride and Magnesium L-Threonate on a daily basis, and I am now confident to report that the insomnia and vertigo and brain fog have all improved!!  So, very many thanks for your very helpful advice. I am now less confident that the early morning headaches are caused by hypoglycaemia, as even foods with a zero a GI rating (cheese, nuts, etc) can cause really server headaches, which sometimes require migraine medication in order to get rid off.  If you are able to suggest any other treatment I would definitely give it a try, as these headaches are a terrible burden.  Doctors in the UK have very limited knowledge concerning dietary issues, and I do not know how to get reliable advice from them. Best regards,

      @rei.b,  I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be.  I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse.  My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet.  It makes a big difference.   Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies.  So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms and reveals the underlying discomfort.  SIBO can cause digestive symptoms.  SIBO can prevent vitamins from being absorbed by the intestines.  Thiamine insufficiency causes Gastrointestinal Beriberi (bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or constipation).  Thiamine is the B vitamin that runs out first because it can only be stored for two weeks.  We need more thiamine when we're sick or under emotional stress.  Gastric Beriberi is under recognised by doctors.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test is more accurate than a blood test for thiamine deficiency, but the best way to see if you're low in thiamine is to take it and look for health improvement.  Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because the body can't utilize it well.  Try Benfotiamine.  Thiamine is water soluble, nontoxic and safe even at high doses.  I thought it was crazy, too, but simple vitamins and minerals are important.  The eight B vitamins work together, so a B Complex, Benfotiamine,  magnesium and Vitamin D really helped get my body to start healing, along with the AIP diet.  Once you heal, you add foods back in, so the AIP diet is worth doing for a few months. I do hope you'll consider the AIP diet and Benfotiamine.
