I am staying on Corfu island for two weeks next month, in Arillas and Agios Gordios.

I was diagnosed coeliac 4 months’ ago and this is my first trip abroad. Any advice re cafes, restaurants, supermarket products and gluten free bottled beers would be most welcome.

Thank you

You may wish to take a gluten-free dining card with you. Here is one in Greek:

Γεια σας, υποφέρω από μια σοβαρή κατάσταση που ονομάζεται νοσηλεία νιάτικης ταλαιπωρίας και δεν μπορώ να φάω οτιδήποτε περιέχει γλουτένη. Η γλουτένη είναι μια πρωτεΐνη που βρίσκεται στον σίτο, το κριθάρι και το ρυζι. Αυτό σημαίνει ότι δεν μπορώ να φάω ψωμί, ζυμαρικά, κέικ ή οτιδήποτε που φτιάχνεται με αλεύρι σίτου. Ακόμα και μικρές ποσότητες γλουτένης μπορούν να με κάνουν πολύ άρρωστο.

Παρακαλώ βοηθήστε με να παραμείνω ασφαλής εξασφαλίζοντας ότι το γεύμα μου είναι πλήρως απαλλαγμένο από γλουτένη. Αυτό σημαίνει να μην χρησιμοποιείτε καθόλου αλεύρι σίτου ή άλλα συστατικά που περιέχουν γλουτένη, συμπεριλαμβανομένων σάλτσες, σούπες και σάλτσες για σαλάτες. Σας ευχαριστώ για την κατανόησή σας και τη συνεργασία σας.

Hello, I suffer from a serious condition called celiac disease, and I cannot eat anything that contains gluten. Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. This means I cannot eat bread, pasta, cakes, or anything made with wheat flour. Even small amounts of gluten can make me very sick.

Please help me stay safe by ensuring that my meal is completely gluten-free. This means not using any wheat flour or other gluten-containing ingredients, including sauces, soups, and dressings. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Ah thanks Scott. That is really useful.

      @knitty kitty My whole family has migraines and I started getting them at age 19, so I'm not sure mine are related to gluten, although I do feel like obviously the more inflamed my whole system is, the more likely I am to suffer from more of these things.

      @Alibu, Just wanted to add... Migraines can be caused by thiamine insufficiency.  I used to have them, regularly, but haven't since supplementing with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and Magnesium Threonate.  These forms get into the brain easily and really improve migraines.  I do still get Ophthalmic migraines which are triggered by computer screens.  It's permanent damage from nutritional deficiencies.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace test is a more accurate test for sufficient thiamine. Keep us posted on your progress!

      @knitty kitty Thank you for those, I will definitely bring them up!  I did send a message to my doctor basically asking what they think so I'll go from there.  He may very well just decide that this was enough to diagnose celiac, but I have no clue what his thoughts are right now.  I also asked for a second opinion on the pathology.

      @HilaryM, Are you eating a diet high in carbohydrates?  You might find a Paleo diet easier on your digestive system.  A Paleo diet can promote changes in  intestinal flora, effectively starving out SIBO bacteria.   Be wary of gluten free processed foods.  Many are not enriched or fortified with vitamins and minerals lost in processing like gluten containing foods are.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist about supplementing with vitamins and minerals while healing.  Vitamins are organic compounds that the body cannot make and so must get from the diet.   Supplementing ensures our bodies get a fair chance to absorb the essential nutrients it needs.

      @MelissaClinPsyD, I hope you investigate whether your participants take nutritional supplements.  The group of eight B vitamins, Vitamin D and magnesium have a big impact on mental health, especially depression.  I know correcting nutritional deficiencies were most important in my physical and mental health recovery!   There's more information and my mental health struggles in my blog.   Keep us posted on your progress!
