Barcelona trip

Hello! 

In two weeks I'm going to Barcelona for 1,5 weeks for the first time, and I'm slightly worried.

I know there will be some gluten-free products in supermarkets, but I won't be able to cook every day.

Maybe someone has already been there and can recommend some good places to eat, I'd appreciate any recommendations!

I realize this article isn't a perfect fit, but the apps mentioned work in Spain as well, and there is a Spanish restaurant card in this article which may be helpful in Spain as well:

I'm jealous!

I've been to Spain a couple of times and love it so very much (never been to Cataluna though).

However, when I was there, I was pre-diagnosis. They do eat a lot of torta (spanish omlette sometimes called tortilla), so generally that should be ok, just make sure there's no "harina de trigo" (wheat flour) in it, likely not. In other parts of Spain, maybe Cataluna as well, there's lots of ham and olives. Cheese. (Breakfast could be incredibly challenging.)

But - a quick google (gluten free Cataluna) turned this up!

"I’m not sure I was completely prepared for the sheer number of safe gluten free restaurants in Barcelona. From tapas, to fish and chips, to many, many different gluten free bakeries, there are a bunch of great gluten free options in Barcelona." -- will try to post that web site below.

I am also planning a trip to Spain next month, specifically Barcelona and Madrid, and this topic is very helpful. I just have a few questions. Firstly, I need help finding hotels in both cities that serve gluten-free food. Do you know any? Secondly, I'm thinking about whether to hire a guide or explore by myself. What do you think?  Any other tips for visiting Barcelona and Madrid would be great! Thanks a bunch!

      Welcome to the forum, @Tyoung! I would assume for the time being that the mild gastritis and the celiac disease are connected and that once you get a good handle on gluten free eating and experience significant healing in the lining of your duodenum, you will also see improvement in the gastritis as well. Gastritis is more often than not an accompanying finding that is commented on in the post scope/biopsy notes when people are positive for celiac disease.

      Hello! I was recently diagnosed with celiacs and mild chronic gastritis was noted on my EGD as well. My GI did not even bring up the gastritis and when I asked she brushed it off. I really want to heal my gut completely not just from celiacs but also the gastritis. Did anyone else have this at diagnosis? Were you able to treat it? Was it associated with celiacs or something entirely different? Thank you!!

      The last time my vitamin D was very low, according to a lab test, was before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. I've been supplementing ever since, and now the numbers on the lab tests are within their normal ranges, oftentimes way above. I've also been supplementing with methylcobalamin (B12) since I was low before diagnosis in 2010, and now I'm fine. I'm surprised I ever requested a folate level, but I did, in 2019. Result 9.4 ng/mL (range >3.0).

      Do you have any links that show studies where NCGS and/or infections have caused high Ttg iga levels.  I've yet to see anything that truly supports this. Everything I've read says the high levels are celiac specific.

      I get coughing and choking from canola oil. I cough up stuff.  Symptom is like bronchitis.  I have gluten intolerance, maybe celiac.  the choking persists for about a week, it simulates a cold.  I got it from the gluten free menu at Outback too, that time I got cramps for 25 hours. the cramps start about 20 minutes after finishing eating.
