ARCHIVED gluten-free Options At Foxwoods Or Mohegan Sun In Connecticut
Kelynn replied to Shanmegjilal's topic in Traveling with Celiac Disease
I know this is an older post, but in case anyone does a search and is looking for information, Margaritaville at Mohegan Sun is not only an awesome restaurant, but has little symbols on their menu of each meal that can be ordered gluten free. I got the nachos and they were HUGE and delicious. Hope that helps. -
Hi- Looking for a thyroid doctor (endocrinologist) in CT that also has experience/knowledge of Celiac's/gluten intolerance. Anyone able to help? Thanks in advance.

ARCHIVED Mr. Boston Liquor
Kelynn posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Does anyone know if Mr. Boston liquors (specifically the coffee flavored Brandy) are gluten free? I have searched and searched on the internet for an answer, or even just for a phone number to contact them, but didn't come up with much. Figured I'd check- someone out there must know! -
ARCHIVED Then Last Item With Gluten You Ate...
Kelynn replied to VegasCeliacBuckeye's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
My "last supper" was fettuccini Alfredo and tons of bread at our favorite Italian place, the night before my endoscopy. And, I agree with others- if there ever is a cute for Celiac's, I'm going to gain some serious weight stuffing my face with all the foods I miss! -
ARCHIVED Vitam Shoppe's "ultimate 10 Probiotic"?
Kelynn posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I heard really, really good things about "Ultimate 10 Probiotic" that's manufactured by the Vitamin Shoppe. The label says it's "wheat free" but I know that it can still have gluten in it. I am going to call the company (since the gentleman at the store didn't know), but their customer service department is only open Monday through Friday, so I thought... -
Never heard of them- where can I find them?

ARCHIVED Anybody Know Of A Good Gluten Free Cookbook For A Beginner ?
Kelynn replied to kare101's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Personally, I received "Gluten-Free Cooking For Dummies" as a gift when I first became gluten-free and I love it. It has a lot of recipes, but also is extremely informative, too. -
Hi all- Just wondering if there is anything you all have found to relieve the bloating that comes with being glutenated? I ordered off a gluten-free menu at a restaurant today, but got sick right after leaving the restaurant and have been sick (gassy, abdominal pain, and lots of bloating) all day. I know from prior experiences that it will pass-...

ARCHIVED Endoscopy Monday!
Kelynn posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I had my blood work done on Friday (including the genetic test) and I have my endoscopy on Monday morning. I'm super nervous for it, partially because I don't know what to expect. Any words of advice, encouragement, or things to keep in mind? -
ARCHIVED How To Do Gluten Challenge?
Kelynn replied to Kelynn's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I felt terrible too, but I NEED to know if I have to avoid any food that might have gluten, or not. I told the doc that I'd give it a try and if it becomes unbearable I'll quit. I just hope that about 5 to 6 weeks is long enough of eating gluten to get an accurate result- don't want to do all this for nothing!! He also is doing the genetic test, and... -
ARCHIVED How To Do Gluten Challenge?
Kelynn posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Went to a specialist today who is wants me to eat gluten until my endoscopy on Jan. 25th. He said to eat one "normal, gluten containing meal per day". Of course, my natural instinct is to go and get Chinese food or pizza, but I'm scared to death that I'll wake up at 3am and run to the bathroom. How exactly do I handle doing the gluten challenge... -
I'm in the greater Hartford area- any thoughts on good restaurants?

ARCHIVED Where Do I Go From Here?
Kelynn replied to Kelynn's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
It's probably going to sound strange, but initially I was totally against consuming even another bite of gluten as long as I live because it simply wasn't worth risking it. However, now I'm feeling like I can try the gluten-challenge, and see what happens. If I'm terribly sick (like I have been in the past) then I'll go from there. If I'm sick, but I can... -
ARCHIVED Where Do I Go From Here?
Kelynn posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
For about 2 weeks now I haven't been eating any gluten. I had been having stomach issues and felt absolutely terrible for a few months and finally 'connected the dots' and thought it was bread, pasta, etc that was bothering my stomach. Since I have stopped eating gluten I feel like a whole new person- I feel wonderful! While I was at the doctor (just... -
ARCHIVED How To Eat gluten-free At A Japanese Restaurant?
Kelynn posted a topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
We are going to a Hibachi Japanese Restaurant for my boyfriend's sister's birthday next week and I have no idea what to eat. I HATE white rice, but I'm sure the fried rice is not gluten-free with the sauces they use in it. The employees speak very, very limited English. I tried calling once and they didn't even understand my question when I asked about... -
ARCHIVED Less Of An Appetite After Going gluten-free?
Kelynn posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Since I have been eating gluten-free, just about a week now, I noticed a dramatic decrease in my appetite. Now, my appetite is that of a "normal" person whereas before, for the past couple months (when my symptoms got really bad) I was eating like a horse. Anyone else experience anything similar? -
ARCHIVED Recent Cruise Info - Which Line?
Kelynn replied to Sweetfudge's topic in Traveling with Celiac Disease
For future reference, or to help anyone else out... I am in the process of being diagnosed and also in the process of booking a cruise. I have cruised 8 times before- always on either Royal Caribbean or Celebrity. So, now that gluten-free meals are an issue I've started doing some research real quick so we can get this trip booked. I have read time and... -
ARCHIVED How Will I Ever Learn It All?
Kelynn posted a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I'm in the process of being diagnosed with Celiac's. Both the doctor and myself are pretty confident that I have it. I'm waiting to get the results of my bloodwork back, but will be eating gluten-free regardless because I have been for a week or so now and I feel SO much better- my symptoms have disappeared. I'm one of those people that will be at... -
Thank you very much. That was my hunch, but I'm glad I asked. Of course, I'll still mention it to my doctor, but I appreciate your advice.

I just had the bloodwork done today to look at the antibodies. My doctor is pretty confident that I have Celiac's so I have been eating a gluten-free diet for a few days now. My question is: Is it ok for Celiac's to eat foods that contain gluten that don't seem to bother the stomach? I have noticed there are a few foods that don't bother me or bother...
