Gluten Free Card Or Letter?

I'm new to Celiac (officially diagnosed last week) and I'm wondering if there's any kind of card or doctor's note I could get that would allow me to take my own safe food into places where they ordinarily do not allow it and would expect you to buy their gluten-filled items. I'm thinking of places like concerts, theme parks, convention centers, perhaps airports or government buildings, etc. Thanks :)

I have not heard of one. I think that you may need a doctors note to get past the security at airport, but things may have changed.

Check out Triumph Dining Cards @www.triumphdining.com It's not an acccess card but it does contain some information.

Many of those places offer something gluten-free, but trusting them is another thing... I experienced Poor Service at Hershey Park, but that's another subject....

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
