as an addendum,

just came back from dinner in MIlan at

osteria dei 5 sensi

Open Original Shared Link

Another great place listed by the Italian Celiac Association.

A lot of choices and without a doubt the best gluten-free rolls I ever had.

Fantastic pastas and salads too.

Thanks so much Ken for scouting out additional restaurants in my area (and right around the corner too!). Once I found the Be Bop Cafe I didn't venture further, but both the places you've listed look sublime (ahhh wonderful salamis and exquisite cheeses are right up my alley!).

abbracci a te ed a la tua moglie!

e molto gentile da parte sua

Hope I can have as much luck in parma -- did find a good place around the corner with gluten-free pasta but pigged out in the room on the farmacia goodies.

trying to decide what to do tonight as the places for dinner dont open to 8.

Meetings went well in Bra and Pollenzo & Margy got her asti in Asti.

take care

Last night after a month in Italy and time sure flies.

Am sitting in Ancona on the Adriatic thinking that I need to have this place mentioned in the forum files.

Restorante Osteria Teatro Strabacco in Via Oberdan n. 2

near the central area of Ancona is well worth the trip to this out of the way port town.

it is mentioned on the Italian Celiac Assoc. website but is not mentioned is the number of choices they have.

Really pigged out with a pizza with eggplant, zuchinni and onions, cannoloni and ravioli.

Yeah I ate for 3 but its been a lot of years since I had ravioli and couldnt resist. Another family came in while we were there for lunch. Their little boy had ceilac too and they had driven from 4 hours south to see a specialist here and were taking him to lunch. He ordered two other pastas. They also have a lot of fish and meats in this really great old style place. The owner who's pictures was on the wall with hundreds of Italian celebrities looked like a younger shorter version of me so we hit it off. I do have the feeling he would hit it off with anyone making them feel welcome in the place.

Amelia -- thanks agian for the goodies, they reaLLY saved me when out in the sticks.

Only so many times i can eat ham and cheese -- even if it is the best Procusitto and pecorino.

Off to Germany tomorrow..

Ken

      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

      "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.
