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?

Maybe get the triumph cards? They include indian cuisine.

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.

      Thanks Kitty for your guidance. I will do the test to see if I have nutrients deficiencies and at the same time re organize my diet to see if that helps with my vertigo and other symptoms.

      Yes, Vitamin D is frequently low in Celiac Disease and Meniere's both.  Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace test to check for thiamine insufficiency.  Diuretics can cause excess thiamine loss.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that improves intestinal health.  Thiamine in the form TTFD (Tetrahydrofurfuryl Disulfide) helped improve my Meniere's syndrome.

      Kitty, to correct the anemia I got IV iron and B complex for 30 days. Then my next step will be test for nutritional deficiencies.

      Welcome to the forum, @nataliallano, There's a dozen or so vitamins and about as many minerals that our bodies need to live and thrive.  Our vitamins and minerals can become depleted in Celiac Disease due to malabsorption and inflammation, so we need to eat a nutritionally dense diet, and keep inflammation to a minimum.

      No, not if you've got an official diagnosis already.   Let's continue our conversation on this thread... Thanks
