Celiac Friendly Accommodation In Italy

Hi everyone!!

We have been thinking about going to Italy in the next few years but as we have a 10 year old daughter who is a celiac we have been concern about eating options in the land of gluten.

I discovered this site which manages accommodation throughout Italy that is celiac friendly. Many of the places serve gluten free meals and are very knowledgeable about gluten free food.

We haven't been there yet but thought it looked very interesting.

Wow! Thanks so much for posting this. I'm always a bit wary about booking places overseas (before gluten free even) so I check the reviews at www.tripadvisor.com. Most places worth staying at have been reviewed on there by actual tourists who've stayed there. In three years it has not steered me wrong yet. Good luck and have a glorious trip! Remember in the phamacias in Italy, you can order gluten free food to be picked up at a later time...either the day you order or the next day. That is possible in the larger cities anyway.

We haven't made any firm plans as yet but are thinking about it.

I had a look at a few of the places on Trip Advisor and I am thinking twice now about those hotels as they some of them haven't got very good reviews. I always look at trip advisor also - an excellent site. Thanks for the reminder about it.

Italy is possibly the most celiac aware country in the world.

      Is it gluten?

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      Trip to Anaheim/Disney

      By Seaperky · Posted

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
