I am leaving for Italy soon (like in 4 days) and I would like to hear from anyone who has been there.

Can you find gluten-free foods in a reg. grocerystore? How receptive are resterants to gluten-free diets?

I believe (could be wrong) that you can purchase gluten free foods at the pharmacy.

LOL... very briefly but that video is well worth watching anyway...

Italy is probably the best place...I have been to and I travel a lot..

You can get gluten-free foods in pharmacies but last year they had adverts for a new a chain of gluten-free supermarkets ...

Diagnosis rate is 1:200 so awareness is very high... almost any resto is going to know about it.

Even little ice cream shops tend to have gluten-free cones

The Italian celiac organisation has lists of resto's in almost every major town...

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
