Greek Food/ Gyros

[Tica]

Does anyone know if Greek food (specifically Gyros) are gluten-free? My duaghter was diagnosed 2 weeks ago and we are new to celiac and the gulten-free diet. Our family loves to gout for Grekk food but we are not sure the ingredients of the gyro meat.

thanks for any info you may have.

I see we were looking on the same old threads....It appears that some do. So you would need to ask the restaurant or make your own at home. Of course the wrap is wheat (gluten) and is a no no.

gyros is supposed to be gluten free. At least in Greece, were we can see how they are preparing it in the special fast foods were we can get it. You can ask for gyro without a bread wrap. But I don't know what is going on in other countries. The only problem I can think of, is if they mix it with flours just to make it heavier and sell more (this goes for sausages as well). I am not telling you that this is the case, I am just telling you that IF there is gluten this should be the only reason.

As I told you in Greece we can see the pork in front of us and the people of the fast food preparing our gyros. So when you come here you and your dd can have all the gyros you like........

Feel free to ask for any other greek food.

Many recipes do call for bread crumbs to be added to gyro meat to stretch it out.

You need to contact an individual company/restaurant/shop and ask how they prepare theirs.
