Im a very green pea with this learning the gluten-free diet and I haven't even gone strictly gluten-free yet, though Im working on it. But today Im going to a Braves game and found that they have an entire gluten-free concession stand! Granted Im sure it will be expensive as all get out, but what isn't at a place like that? I just though it was pretty cool that a place like that would have something for us. I think Im going to check it out and see what all they have and of course Ill report back. :) Having to go gluten-free is the only reason I hate that we live in a small area. There aren't a huge choice of things in our area. I think the selection is getting better, but still leaves a lot to be desired.

How wonderful! Part of the fun of a ball game is to get something yummy to eat. It's so nice to know that we Celiacs are being considered.

Have a great time..and report back please?

I hope your team wins! :D

That's awesome! Hope you find something yummy! Who cares what it costs, it's the nostalgia of the park, right? Haha everything costs a lot inside the gates it seems!

And something else I found out is Turner Stadium is one of, if not the only stadium that will allow you to bring in your own food/drinks. It has to be in a soft sided cooler and they will check it.

The gluten-free counter was pretty cool. They had a very limited menu of course but they had good looking stuff. And the price was what all the other venders were. I didn't get anything because I was already sick from being too hot. One thing I did notice is that there is a huge possibility of CC. It was like a vender cart type thing and attached to the other side of the cart, was the Budweiser beer cart. <_<

That's great!!! Its great to hear that places are making attempts now - the Mets ballpark also does the same thing, so if the Yankees just get on board, then I'll be going to more games!!!! Best wishes!

Budweiser :( It would be great if they put a gluten-free beer on the other side! However, good to have a choice out too!

      You might consider asking for a referral to a RD (Registered Dietician) to help with food choices and planning a diet. Even apart from any gluten issues, you will likely find there are some foods you need to avoid because of the shorter bowel but you may also find that your system may make adjustments over time and that symptoms may improve.

      I wish Dr’s would have these discussions with their patients. So frustrating but will continue to do research. Absolutely love this website. I will post any updates on my testing and results.  Thank you

      Losing 12" of your small bowel is going to present challenges for you in nutritional uptake because you are losing a significant amount of nutritional absorption surface area. You will need to focus on consuming foods that are nutritionally dense and also probably look at some good supplements. If indeed you are having issues with gluten you will need to educate yourself as to how gluten is hidden in the food supply. There's more to it than just avoiding the major sources of gluten like bread and pasta. It is hidden in so many things you would never expect to find it in like canned tomato soup and soy sauce just to name a few. It can be in pills and medications.  Also, your "yellow diarrhea, constipation and bloating" though these are classic signs of a gluten disorder, could also be related to the post surgical shorter length of your small bowel causing incomplete processing/digestion of food.

      Yes this information helps. I will continue to be pro active with this issues I am having. More testing to be done. Thank you so much for your response.

      There are two gluten-related disorders that share many of the same symptoms but differ in nature from each other. One is known as celiac disease or "gluten intolerance". By nature, it is an autoimmune disorder, meaning the ingestion of gluten triggers the body to attack it's own tissues, specifically the lining of the small bowel. This attack causes inflammation and produces antibodies that can be detected in the blood by specific tests like the TTG-IGA test you had. Over time, if gluten is not withheld, this inflammation can cause severe damage to the lining of the small bowel and even result in nutrient deficiency related health issues since the small bowel lining is organ where all the nutrition found in our food is absorbed.  The other is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just "gluten sensitivity") which we know less about and are unsure of the exact mechanism of action. It is not an autoimmune disorder and unlike celiac disease it does not damage the lining of the small bowel, though, like celiac disease, it can cause GI distress and it can also do other kinds of damage to the body. It is thought to be more common than celiac disease. Currently, we cannot test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out to arrive at a diagnosis of NCGS. Both disorders require elimination of gluten from the diet.  Either of these disorders can find their onset at any stage of life. We know that celiac disease has a genetic component but the genes are inactive until awakened by some stress event. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% develop active celiac disease. The incidence of NCGS is thought to be considerably higher. I hope this helps.
