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 :-)

      New issue

      I was taking medicine for sibo but it was not agreeing with my stomach at all.Was on gabapentin but it amps me up.I was taking in morning because it wasn't allowing me to sleep.This has always been an issue with medicine and me.Even going to dentist, the good shot that numbs you once, I can't take because it makes my heart beat fast and I get the shakes...

      Doctors and Celiac.com

      I showed one doctor I went to once because completely clueless of celiac disease and yes that one was connected to a well known hospital and she said oh thats just a bunch of people that think they are celiac coming together. I said um no they have doctors and knowledge behind what is being written. So bay area is Downplaying this site! SADLY

      Do Gluten Enzymes actually work?

      If you successfully digest gluten with enzyme supplements so it won’t give you side effects, your challenge won’t be worthwhile because the digested fragments of gluten also won’t stimulate antibody production or cause intestinal damage.

      Gluten free phosphate binders for dialysis patients

      You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance"...
