Hi, I can't seem to find any current threads on this topic. Anyone been to Costa Rica and stay at an all-inclusive resort? What was the experience? Any tips besides the idea of carrying the card to explain my diet? Thanks!

I had a fried who was the chef at the Four Seasons in Costa Rice, Jim Cassidy. Almost all of these types of 5 star resort chains worldwide are aware of requirements for celiacs. Some have vegan and raw food menus now too. A recent report I read said 12% of the guests have some special dietary requirement now. Gets easier and easier to travel! I would look at the places that interest you and just write the chefs directly. The good thing about costa rica is selection of unusual tropical fruit to try. Should be a lot of fun! Oh, BTW, I always bring the cards with me in a variety of languages.

      Confused about my results

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hurrah for an official diagnosis!   You may want to put the whole family on gluten free, as a preventative measure for the ones not testing positive right now.  Remember, exposure to gluten triggers the Celiac genes your kids have inherited from you.  Keeping them gluten free now, even though they don't test positive right now, can delay triggering Celiac Disease development in them.

      Dealing with celiac and menstrual cycle

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @annirosex, Get your Vitamin D level checked.  Low Vitamin D can mess up menstrual cycles.  Vitamin D at healthy levels (80-100) acts as a hormone and regulates your immune system.  Thiamine Vitamin B 1 is needed to activate Vitamin D, so adding thiamine in the form Benfotiamine would be beneficial.

      Thank you! I saw a different provider this week who took one look at all my medical information and declared it was celiac in the first 5 minutes of the appointment. I am still a bit in shock but so very thankful to have an official diagnosis. The doctor told me to have my children tested and one of them came back with a "weak positive" TTG IgA! Not sure what to think about that! This week has been a wild ride. Thankfully this website has such great information! I've been going through all the do's and don't's of cross contact etc.

      Still unsure.....

      Good job! Brave astronaut! The other B vitamins can be stored in the body longer than thiamine.  You won't mess them up.

      I took my first 100 mg this morning. Let's see what happens. Still a bit nervous of messing up my other B vitamins since I don't have a B complex at the moment. Thanks for your replies Knitty Kitty!
