I have been working with gig some and signed up to be a reference person for the Celiac Disease Foundation. I've discovered 3 good restaurants I can suggest in Redding, Mary's Pizza shack, Outback and Red Robin. I've been fine from each place. Please stay in touch. :) How was your trip?

Hi right back at you! The last few times I visited Redding, I ate dinner at Outback, but I didn't know they also have a Mary's Pizza Shack (we have several nearby) and a Red Robin. Do you have a PF Chang's yet?

My trip was absolutely the greatest! Would you believe that on my first evening in Sydney, my daughter took me to a Brazilian BBQ place where EVERYTHING was gluten free (including the cheese bread and the pasta) except for three items on their menu? When they told me that their regular bread and pasta are always gluten free, I just couldn't believe it! Australia truly is Paradise when it comes to gluten-free dining. I literally ate my way through Sydney, Bondi, and Cairns: sandwiches, pizzas, hamburgers, High Tea, etc. I didn't get glutened a single time, and servers were astonished that we aren't accommodated in the same way here. Even at the Food Court at the mall, several restaurants had "gluten-free options" displayed on their counters. Such a wonderful place....oh, and the sights were pretty great, too!

I'm glad to hear that you've become involved with several celiac organizations. Usually, GIG has an annual conference, but this year's conference, which was to be held in Denver, was canceled due to the high costs of that particular city and because there aren't enough GIG volunteers there. I was soooo disappointed when I heard that it had been canceled--my brother lives near Denver, and my mom (who also has celiac) and I were planning to spend some time visiting his family while attending the conference. I understand that, instead of a huge conference, GIG is now planning something on a smaller scale in Seattle. I really like Seattle, which is very celiac friendly, so I might end up going (depends on the speakers). Have you heard of any interesting conferences in California?

Thanks for staying in touch...and perhaps we can have coffee or lunch sometime when I'm in Redding (I might drive out there in July to visit my father's grave).

Take care!

Redding CT? Or is there another Redding I don't know about?

Ha ha! No, Redding in Northern California! It's a nice place--you should visit.....

      Should not be a problem except for the most sensitive celiacs. The amount of gluten that would get in the air from cooking alone has got to be miniscule. I would be more concerned about cross contamination happening in other ways in a living environment where others are preparing and consuming gluten-containing foods. Thinks like shared cooking surfaces and countertops. And what about that toaster you mentioned?

      Hello, @NCalvo822, Blood tests for Celiac Disease test for antibodies our bodies make in response to gluten exposure.  These Tg IgA 2 antibodies mistakenly attack our own bodies, causing problems in organs and tissues other than just the digestive tract.  Joints can ache, thyroid problems or the pancreas can develop.  Ataxia is just one of over two hundred symptoms of Celiac Disease. Some people with Celiac Disease also make tTg IgA 6 antibodies in response to gluten exposure.  The tTg IgA 6 antibodies attack the brain, causing ataxia.  These tTg IgA 6 antibodies are also found in people with Parkinson's disease, though they may not have Celiac Disease.  First degree relatives (parents, siblings, children) of those diagnosed with Celiac should be tested as well.  Celiac is genetic.  Your mom and sister should be tested for Celiac, too!   Definitely a good idea to keep to a gluten free diet.

      @Rebeccaj,  When you smell toast or pasta cooking, that means that particles of that food are floating around in the air.  Airborne gluten can then be inhaled and swallowed, meaning the food particles get into your digestive tract.   If you're careful to avoid gluten and are still having symptoms, those symptoms could be caused by vitamin deficiencies.

      ok thanks for your advice. But my question was what happens when someone you know in a house is cooking pasta or toast that's flour  Airbourne without eating.?

      Do discuss this recent article with your doctors.  Thiamine Vitamin B 1 is important to intestinal health.  Thiamine deficiency can occur in Celiac Disease due to malabsorption.  Supplementing with a B Complex, Benfotiamine, and Vitamin D can help symptoms.   Thiamine deficiency aggravates experimental colitis in mice by promoting glycolytic reprogramming in macrophages https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39890689/#:~:text=Our mechanistic study revealed that,necessary to protect against colitis. "Conclusion and implications: Our study provides evidence linking thiamine deficiency with proinflammatory macrophage activation and colitis aggravation, suggesting that monitoring thiamine status and adjusting thiamine intake is necessary to protect against colitis."
