Ciao and Welcome!!

I am from Australia and we are thinking of going to Italy next year. Do you think it is easy to find gluten free food in Italy. Do restaurants understand what gluten free is? We have found a hotel in Cinque Terre that provides gluten free meals to its guests. Are certain regions of Italy better than others for finding gluten free food. I have heard that the north is more aware than the south. Where in Italy do you live? My mother was born in Gorizia and my father is from Lipari.

If you have to have celiac disease and be anywhere in the world, I'd say that Italy is the best place. celiac disease is becoming more and more diagnosed in Italy (common in the gene pool?) and the government actually gives food subsidies to biopsy diagnosed celiacs.

You can buy food in pharmacies (if the one you go in hasn't any ask them where the closest one is) and large grocery stores are now putting in a "gluten-free" section and the EU packaging laws require full discloser of the top 7/8 allergens.

Restaurants are also well informed. But as you would do at home, make sure you tell them!

Here is a link to the gluten-free restaurants in Liguria. I was in the Cinque Terre last year and where there was a pasta dish with seafood, I was able to have mine with rice instead. In the high season, I did book ahead and let them know at booking that I needed gluten-free.

I am currently living in Italy (near Sacile, close to Aviano Air base). My son has a wheat allergy (IgG test, never did any sort of celiac testing, he's also reactive to dairy, soy, egg, malt, barley, and spelt) and I am in the process of testing myself. I know that the Coop grocery stores in the area often have a gluten free section, and the Aviano Inn restaurant has gluten free pizza (have to tell them a day ahead I think that you need gluten free~~senza glutina), beer, and gelato. I've also been told that one of the farmacias (pharmacies) in Pordenone has a good selection of gluten free items. I just haven't been there yet, we've only been here since the beginning of January. We haven't traveled yet outside of our immediate area and Venice, but I plan on keeping track of places my ds can eat. I will do my best to post back here with anything else I find.

      Potential celiac need advice

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank 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.
