Hi Where in India are you going? I have been there many many times. BUT I should note I have not been there since being forced to go gluten free. However, I am planning to go there in Jan but anticipate NO problems diet wise. You will be fine in terms of the diet.. lots of vegeterians, lots of rice based meals, lots of fruit and vegetables. Tell them what you need and you will be sure to get exactly what you ordered. I can almost (with 99.9% certainty guarantee it.

Hi,

Thanks for your help

Do you know if there is such a thing as a celiac society in india?

Also, Air India has gluten free meals as long as you order them in advance--this is important since it's a very long flight and there are so many restrictions on what you can bring on an airplane now. Although I will say that they are much more accomodating to their business class passengers than their regular passengers.

      Severe severe mouth pain

      @Caligirl57 hi and thank you for the reply! I have had myself scared to death over this. I am still having pain but it's not as bad. I have always had bad teeth and gums @trents thank you, so omeprazole is the right thing to take?

      @Charlie1946 You are more than welcome. If you are struggling with mental health do consult with a medical professional and follow their advice if they think you need medication, as I did for a while, but I hope you will find these books as helpful as I did on the road to recovery.

      PPI is the acronym for Proton Pump Inhibitor. Omeprazole is a PPI. PPI's work in a different way than do "H2 blockers" like Tagamet or Pepcid and different also from acid neutralizers like Tums.

      Blood Test for Celiac wheat type matters?

      I think cristiana's post is an important contribution to this discussion and reinforces what I said earlier about the anecdotal nature of those reporting they seem to be able to tolerate wheat products in Europe. We need to be careful not to extrapolate from the particular to the general. And as she also implied, not having a discernable reaction to consuming...

      Thank you @russ I still haven't figured out how to reply to these messages. I haven't been taking vitamins like I should because of the trouble swallowing. What is PPI? I take omeprazole every day. Thank you for the advice and the link! I am so grateful for all of you in this group!

We need to be careful not to extrapolate from the particular to the general. And as she also implied, not having a discernable reaction to consuming a wheat product made in Europe or made from flour imported from Europe may not equate to "0" intestinal lining harm for those who actually have celiac disease.
