I'm planning a trip to London and Italy (rome, florence, pisa, and small towns) this summer-

Ive always heard theres more awareness and more options in europe, but im more nervous about the Land of Pizza and Pasta than other places.

Has anyone been there since being diagnosed? Or have any idea how likely I am to be able to eat at restaurants/ communicate with waiters etc.

We'll be there all of July too. I was worried until the fourm members filled me in on some of the possibilities and that site that gfp sent you. Seems like there are many more options there

than other places I've been. gluten-free pasta is rather common too. Just let people know aheah of time -- somewhere there is a list of gluten-free restaurants by town too.

If you search online, the spelling is a little different -ceoliac or coeliac

good luck, and have a great trip.

Just click on the region down the left and it lists towns.

However there are many places that have at least heard of celiac disease :D they have a friend or family member etc. so they are much easier to deal with, understand CC etc..

      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/
