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

I am heading to Cochin which is in Kerala.

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.

      Gluten Free Coffee

      By trents · Posted

      @Peace lily, can you be more specific about which coffee manufacturers have told you that their coffee is probably not safe for celiacs? What you say is contrary to just about everything I find when I research this issue on the internet, even taking into account cross contamination. The exception seems to be when flavorings are added that may contain grain products made from wheat, barley or rye. This individual tested numerous coffees with a Nima gluten sensor and found no issues: https://www.goodforyouglutenfree.com/is-coffee-gluten-free/. There may also be an issue with cross reactivity for some celiacs:  https://www.glutenfreesociety.org/is-coffee-safe-on-a-gluten-free-diet/ . Keep in mind that when you ask questions of food companies concerning whether or not a product is gluten free or "safe for celiacs" you may be getting an ultra-cautious response due to the fact that they are careful to cover their backsides when the product hasn't been specifically tested for gluten content or is not being marketed as such.

Went to my gastroenterologist in this past nov. said everything looks good . I am looking into coffee now and what I’ve read cross contamination is possible. I’m stumped.

      Mallorca Guide

      By Mettedkny · Posted

      You already got some great recommendations. Just want to second that Mallorca (and Spain in general) is one of the best and easiest places for celiacs to travel. I have been to Mallorca multiple times and have never experienced any cross contaminations and there are SO many easy to buy options in regular supermarkets. Hope you have a wonderful trip.
