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.

Make sure you tick the celiac box at the top left hand corner.

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.

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!
