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!

      To give you a frame of reference for pretesting gluten consumption necessary to ensure valid antibody testing, here is the current recommendation for those who have been on a gluten free diet: The daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks. Not sure why you mentioned eggs and chicken. They are not sources of gluten. Was that in reference to dietary iron consumption?
    • Churro
      Thanks for your insight. I've been eating wheat bread at least 5 times a week for several months. I've been eating chicken or eggs 5 days a week for at least a year.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Churro! Several things need to be said here: 1. Your physician neglected to order a "total IGA" test to check for IGA deficiency. If a person is IGA deficient, the results of other IGA antibody tests specific to celiac disease will not be valid. A total IGA test should always be ordered when checking for celiac disease with blood IGA antibody test. You should ask your physician to order a total IGA test. 2. Iron deficiency anemia can also give distorted IGA celiac disease blood antibody tests. 3. If you were already on a gluten-free diet or had been restricting gluten consumption for weeks/months prior to the antibody testing blood draw, then the test results would not be valid. Accurate celiac disease blood antibody testing requires you to have been consuming significant amounts of gluten for a significant time period leading up to the blood draw. It takes time for the antibody levels in the blood to build up to detectable levels. 4. Your low iron levels and other symptoms could be due to celiac disease but could also be caused by lots of other medical issues.

      Last month I got blood tests done. My iron level was at 205 ug/dL and 141 ug/dL iron binding capacity unsaturated, 346 ug/dl total iron binding capacity, 59 transferrin % saturation. My ferritin level was at 13 so I got tested for celiac disease last week. My tTG-IgA is <.05, DGP IgA is 4.9 and ferritin level is 9. My doctor didn't order other celiac disease tests. In 2021 I was dealing with severe constipation and hemorrhoids. I'm no longer dealing with constipation. I still deal with hemorrhoids but only about once a week. Also, I've been dealing with very pale skin for at least 5 years. Do you think I have celiac disease?

      Hi Cristiana! It's so nice to meet you! Thank you for the kind reply I am glad I live in a time where you can connect with others through the Internet. That is a mercy I am grateful for.
