<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hi, I am a newly diagnosed Celiac in the Ann Arbor, MI. area and will be travelling to Clearwater Beach, Florida for a week. Does anyone have experience with the Hotels and restaurants in that area? Another question. Recently I had an experience with extremely painful swelling of the back side of my right hand which lasted about 48 hours. It was so painful, I actually thought it was broken (although I had no trauma to the hand), and had to makde a trip to the Emergency Room in the area. They had no reason for the pain or swelling and found it quite unusual. I was travelling at the time. Has anyone else had an experience similar to this which may be related to accidental gluten ingestion or exposure. Thanks in advance. Nancy.
