Traveling To Europe


GlutenFreeAl

Recommended Posts

I went to Barcelona last month and had a wonderful time and didnt have any food problems! Luckily, someone at most restaurants spoke some English and they all understood the meaning of Gluten.

I had taken some pre-packaged gluten-free snacks and was glad to have them because I didnt find the gluten-free snack options to be that interesting.

I did not specifically look for any gluten-free bakeries and am not aware of any?

But, I was plesantly suprised to find gluten-free dining options at the theme park PortAventura - about an hour south of Barcelona.

Have a great time and ENJOY!!!

I'm planning a trip to Europe later this year. Not sure where I'm going yet. Airfare is a huge factor, so is speaking the language!

Considering Amsterdam, London, Barcelona, etc.

Anyone have any tips on traveling to a foreign country? I obviously can't bring all of my meals for two weeks!

Help!! :unsure:

I found a great website: Open Original Shared Link . They've got restaurant listings from all over the world. Also, lots in London.

Hi! I travelled to Spain early last year and found there to be a great range of gluten-free produts in the supermarket. The major department store/supermarket chain there - El Corte Ingles - had a "health food" section with gluten-free breads, biscuits, crackers, etc, etc... I even found gluten-free chocolate croissants (which we don't get in Australia)! Sorry, I can't be specific about eating out, however, I found that many of the tapas (which we pretty much lived on) available were suitable... Good luck!

They have chocolate croissants ! I love chocolate croissants and have been depressed about missing out on my next trip to France. Do you think they would have them anywhere ?

      Current careteam is still up in the air about my celiac thanks to me googling "celiac specialist" what popped  up was once known as a good name hospital back in the days. I went in for answers for my declining health, it was the autoimmune part that did me in, being a former bus driver.I read that in my medical records so easily downplayed, i refused the gluten challenge! Why the hell would I eat Gluten when im Celiac coming to them for answers when my body is falling apart? Glutenfree since 1994. They did unnecessary colonoscopy KNOWING im glutenfree. A celiac specialist would know that would be pointless to do if not eating gluten and it was done!Im so angery with that hospital for not explaining celiac disease and withholding information, Downplaying my ailments , mental distress,  causing more health issues, ect. All this could have been avoided If medical records were sent, when asked, explained and done properly. Im so angery.I do have the celiac dietitian on here in June and linked her up to my current health care yesterday, fingers crossed hopefully with that, the understanding of celiac is explained it's not just a food allergy will be understood.

      Thank you for sharing your experience, Florence. It’s important to clarify, though, that proteins like zein in corn, panicin in millet, and kafirin in sorghum are not considered gluten and have not been shown to trigger the same autoimmune intestinal damage seen in celiac disease. Some people with celiac disease do report symptoms with certain gluten-free grains, oats, or other foods, but that reflects individual intolerance or sensitivity—not a proven “gluten-mimic” effect that damages the small intestine. Certified gluten-free oats are considered safe for most people with celiac disease, though a small subset may react to avenin. If specific foods consistently cause symptoms for you, it makes sense to avoid them personally, but it’s helpful for readers to know that these foods are still medically classified as gluten-free and generally safe for the broader celiac community.
