Hi there, I'm going to be living in Madrid, Spain and I am allergic to gluten. I speak spanish fairly fluently so language should not be a problem, but where can I go to buy food and what kinds? How do I manage it while I'm there? Any info would be helpful! :)

Hi I recently found this website which is in Spanish but list via regions where to buy Gluten Free products. I'm going to Spain for a months holiday later this year so thats how I came across this site. Its the only one I found so far but it appears to be a main Celiac society of Spain. Hope it helps

Hi

I've been to Spain last fall. There are two big super markets mit gluten free products. I prefer Open Original Shared Link . They have bread, pasta and many other things. Even beer. The other is Open Original Shared Link . You can find these shops in every city in Spain. In Madrid I know you'll find a Corte Ingles at every second corner.

Have fun

Although it's a very old post, I'm gonna update it.

I'm Spanish and I live in Madrid. My wife and my son are both celiacs. There are gluten-free restaurants in Madrid where you can go:

Pizza-Jardin (only gluten-free pizza)

Vips (you need to check locations with gluten-free menu)

Da Nicola (italian restaurant with the biggest gluten-free menu all around Madrid)

El Corte Ingles Cafeteria (including gluten-free desserts)

If you wanna purchase gluten-free products there are a few supermarkets where you can go:

Mercadona (the owner's son is celiac so every single product labeled "SIN GLUTEN" is 100% gluten-free)

El Corte Ingles (maybe is too expensive but there are a lot of available products)

Alcampo (highly recommended Schar products -best gluten-free bakery and pastry in Europe-)

Carrefour (with only 3-4 different kinds of bread and muffins)

Hope it can work you.

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.
