i'm traveling to stockholm and helsinki for the first time on a backpacking trip. i was wondering what the deal is with the gluten free cheeseburgers at mcdonalds? is it in all mcdonalds or is it one special one in Helsinki? is there a special name for it? i've heard english is widely spoken in both cities so will i be ok with just asking in english for gluten free food? is there a special mark or something on food that is gluten free in supermarkets? thanks!! any info is appreciated.

I visited Stockholm and sone small towns in Sweden for a week and it was fabulous! Seems everyone understands gluten free. I stayed in a small hotel. They brought out gluten-free bread from the freezer for me to eat. There were gluten-free crackers out at lunch and dinner made by WASA. They do not import them to the US which is too bad since they were great, and at Mc Donalds, they have gluten-free buns. Just ask the manager.

Enjoy your trip.

It is a little bit easier in Finland than in Sweden. Seems that more people in Finland are gluten intolerant, which means a lot of restaurants and caf

      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/
