Help For Barcellona

Hello everybody,

I'm a new entry to the forum...I'm Italian and after reading some posted messages here I think I migth consider myself so lucky living in Italy??? ;) ...sure, Italy now is great for gluten-free food, we have restricted rules for anything concerning restaurants that must be certified as well as gluten-free foods by the national healt dept.

I use to travel a lot for work trips and personal also; I need help for Barcellona; I found out a reaturants recap but I need to know if I can also find fresh product such as gluten-free ham and sliced cheese in stores ; I will be in Barcellona 4 days and I will be based in Girona in a private house where I can cook my own food. So basically I think I will arrange with sandwiches. I discovered also a place with gluten-free entrepas that I will surely see.

Anyone also knows if there is something as "Pret a Manger" in England that could be faster that seating in a restaurant?...it's something like a fresh salad fast food.

Wait for your help!!

tks!

Paola

Hi Paola :D

There are many 'Pret a manger' in England ...Open Original Shared Link a list - although I'm not sure how safe they would be regarding cross contamination.

Regarding Barcelona - we have been to Spain since my husband's diagnosis and found eating out quite easy by printing off Open Original Shared Link restaurant card, and found it quite easy to buy naturally gluten-free foods in their supermarkets.

You might also want to contact the Spanish coeliac society - scroll down Open Original Shared Link for a list of recommended restaurants in the Barcelona area that cater gluten-free.

Happy Travels :)

Hi Nikky,

thanks for help, I feel quite confortable now with all these info and feel positive to find what I need in stores as well.

I will contact the Catalunya celiac society to ask for the celiac vademecum with guaranteed gluten-free foods in normal stores. Hope to find out online but no way, maybe it's me, I don't understand so well spanish!

Tks!!

Spanish words helpful for celiacs:

Tengo la enfermedad celiaca= I have celiac disease

Tiene esta cosa el gluten= Does this have gluten

No puedo comer= I can't eat

Tengo alergia a- I'm allergic to

harina= flour

trigo= wheat

avena= oats

I'm not sure about barley or rye though :-)

      This is a common experience across the board with various brands of gluten-free bread products. Prices go up, size goes down. Removal of the egg component may be for the purpose of cost-cutting related to bird flu supply shortages or it may be catering to those with egg allergy/sensitivity, fairly common in the celiac community.

      Living with Coeliac Disease since birth, Bread has always been an issue, never too nice, small slices and always overpriced, But Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread seemed to me to be an exception with it's large uniform 12 x 12cm slices that had the bounce, texture and taste of white bread even after toasting with no issue that it was also Milk Free. Unfortunately Sainsbury's have changed the recipe and have made it 'Egg Free' too and it has lost everything that made the original loaf so unique. Now the loaf is unevenly risen with 8 x 8cm slices at best, having lost it's bounce with the texture dense and cake like after toasting resembling nothing like White Bread anymore. Unsure as to why they have had to make it 'Egg Free' as the price is the same at £1.90 a loaf. Anyone else experiencing the same issue with it? - also any recommendations for White Bread that isn't prescription? / Tesco's / Asda's are ok but Sainsbury's was superior.

      Years  ago a friend and I drove north into Canada hoping to find a ski resort open in late spring,We were in my VW and found a small ski area near a small town and started up this gravelled road up a mountain. We  got about halfway up and got stuck in the mud. We tried everything we could think of but an hour later we were still stuck. Finally a pickup came down the road, laughed at our situation, then pulled the VW free of the mud. We followed him back to the ski area where where he started up the rope ski lift and we had an enjoyable hour of skiing and gave us a shot of aquavit  before we left.It was a great rescue.  In some ways this reminds me of your situation. You are waiting for a rescue and you have chosen medical practitioners to do it now or as soon as possible. As you have found out the med. experts have not learned how to help you. You face years of continuing to feel horrible, frustrated searching for your rescuer to save you. You can break away from from this pattern of thinking and you have begun breaking  away by using some herbs and supplements from doTerra. Now you can start trying some of the suggestions thatother Celiacs have written to your original posts.  You live with other people who eat gluten foods. Cross contamination is very possible. Are you sure that their food is completely separate from their food. It  is not only the gluten grains you need to avoid (wheat, barley, rye) but possibly oats, cows milk also. Whenever you fall back into that angry and frustrated way of thinking get up and walk around for a whild. You will learn ways to break that way of thinking about your problems.  Best wishes for your future. May you enjpy a better life.

      Thanks for responding. I researched further and Lindt Lindor chocolate balls do contain barely malt powder which contains gluten. I was surprised at all of the conflicting information I found when I checked online.

      @BlessedinBoston, it is possible that in Canada the product in question is formulated differently than in the USA or at least processed in in a facility that precludes cross contamination. I assume from your user name that you are in the USA. And it is also possible that the product meets the FDA requirement of not more than 20ppm of gluten but you are a super sensitive celiac for whom that standard is insufficient.
