We're hoping to get to the local Renaissance Faire this weekend but we'd be spending quite a while there. What do you recommend we do for food? trail mixy type stuff isn't going to cut it..we'll be walking around a lot and probably will be dying for food. Real good food....any thoughts? Most gluten free stuff is frozen and i'm not eating much variety at the moment and re-introducing stuff one thing at a time.

Our's has turkey legs so my daughter and I get that. I think our meal last weekend was a huge turkey leg and dill pickles. But honestly that was the only thing there we felt like we could eat. I'd pack nuts and cut up veggies I guess? Oh...there are caramel apples, but we can't do dairy or corn syrup so those are off the table for us, but perhaps okay for you?

Typically what I do is eat a huge meal before I go. We're seeing a baseball game tonight and I just ate a huge dinner (at 4pm) so I can hopefully get through the game without too much hunger. I'll pack nuts and veggies. So, that's one thing I've learned to do over the past couple of years.

Oh, and back to the Ren Fest. At our's we can leave and reenter so perhaps food in a cooler left in the car, where you can leave the fair, have a safe meal (rice and beans, or soup in a thermos...gluten free sandwich) and then re-enter.

When I've gone in the past, I've eaten the fruit (served usually in half a cantaloupe) as well as the frozen desserts (again, fruit-based ones).

I used to go to King Richard's Faire on Cape Cod. I LOVED it! We went every year. The jousting matches were my favorite part. ("KILL, KILL, HATE, HATE, MURDER, MURDER, MUTILATE!!")

But they would not let anyone bring in food from outside at all. I don't know if they've changed their policy though. It's been years since I've been.

I throw in a tote bag things like tuna & crackers or cheese, nuts, fruit or even a sandwich. I have a small thermos (snack size) that is good for (very mild for me!) chili or other warm food. I also have a leter from my doctor that states I have celiac and must eat gluten-free in case I am ever stopped but have only needed it once.

      Is it gluten?

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      Trip to Anaheim/Disney

      By Seaperky · Posted

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
