Traveling To Europe

GlutenFreeAl

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 ?

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Russ H · Posted

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.

      BFree bread is fortified with vitamins and minerals as is ASDA own-brand gluten-free bread. All the M&S bread seems to be fortified also.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      You might try Heallix.  It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball.  It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again,  not in your eyes or ears.   Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also,  I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.
