Looking for advice on restaurants here in St. John's that are familiar/helpful with meals for celiacs. I have Swiss Chalet's gluten-free menu & have heard that The Keg was a good choice. Also heard mention that Zapatta's, India Gate, Magnum & Steins, Bianca's & Cabot Club were possibilities but nothing definite. Any townies out there with experience here in St. John's? I had a positive blood test a few months ago & after a few days to a week gluten-free many symtoms I had lived with for years just vanished (very dry skin, cold feet at night, thick nasal phlegm-esp at night, stinky BM's, tiredness etc). I never really felt sick as such but I feel so much better now. The diet is more a nuisance than anything, especially with restaurants & travel. I HATE drawing attention to myself at restaurants by trying to explain my problem. But I do eat MUCH better now & feel healthier just because of that. As well, i have heard mention of a card that is avaiable somewhere than can be presented at restaurants explaining the disease & precautions that need to be taken by the cook. Where can I get those?

Swiss Chalet is great place for celiacs. I always eat there when I travel. But it is always annoying knowing there is a change of getting sick. Even at the most safe places. There will always be mistakes.

      So far 3 months in - worsening symptoms. I have had the worst constipation in my life and I am primarily eating naturally gluten-free foods like potatoes, eggs, salad with homemade dressing, corn tortillas, etc. I hate gluten-free bread and pasta so I don't eat it. Occasionally I eat gluten-free almond flour crackers. As stated in the post, I don't have any vitamin deficiency. I was already tested.

      Talk to your  Talk to your provider about testing for vitamin and mineral deficiency.  celiac disease causes malabsorption and eventually malnutrition.  Especially vitamin D. Having the gallbladder removed seems to be a common step on the way to a Celiac Disease Diagnosis,  Gallbladder is a sympton of deficient Choline. Eggs and red meat are the primary source..Choline makes up a majority of the bile salts.  The bile gets thick, doesn't get enough into intestine to digest fats well.  Can eventually back up into gallbladder, cause gallstones.  Without bile, bowel movements can become hard. Try to avoid all processed foods while you are healing, The gluten-free foods are not fortified with vitamins and use various ingredients to mimic fat that bothers many Celiacs.  Choose vegatables with low omega 6.  Optimum omega 6 to omega 3 ratio is less than 3:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  Grass fed milk is 1:1.   Commercial Dairies milk is 5:1.  They feed wheat, rye and barley Gluten as part of the food mix.

      Your DGP-G is also high. The thing to do now would be to trial the gluten-free diet for a few months to see if there is improvement in symptoms.
