We booked a last minute deal to Ocho Rios, and are leaving this Sunday.

Has anyone been there since dx and if so, are you able to provide any info?

Diet wise is Jerk seasoning supposed to be safe?

Are there any MUST do excursions etc?

Thanks in advance.

Jamaica is soooo much fun. I went to Negril though. I was Pre celiac then.....came home with the big D for 1 month and had Celiac.

You should be able to find plenty of gluten free items there. Bring your own breakfast "carb" and eat the plentiful fresh fruit. I ate a lot of seafood, lobster, shrimp....we stayed at a resort and they were VERY nice. I am sure they would let you read the labels. Jerk seasoning should be gluten-free BUT some use a paste and it says Natural Flavoring, this always scares me....since Dannon Yourt got me :)

If you can go horse back riding in the mountains. Was the best way to see how the locals live. Our guide even climbed a mango tree and pick us fresh mangos to eat on the ride. You will probibly come back feeling better than when you left :)

Have fun

Shannon

      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/
