First, thank you to all of those who have given such great insight to traveling! Since this is my first post - a quick history of me - I am moving to Barcelona Spain this summer and am curioius if anyone knows of gluten-free milk and yogurt products out there. I will be living there for at least a year and plan on doing a lot of cooking and I've read that some superkmarkets carry gluten-free bread and pasta, but I haven't come across anyone saying if there are issues with the dairy. Many thanks to all responses!

Ann

There are a lot of gluten-free food options in Spain. El Corte Ingles has a gluten-free section and there are even little stores that sell mostly gluten-free food. I found at least 2 little shops in Barcelona that had stuff. I can't answer about the dairy since I am a vegan, but you can always contact companies like you would in the US. I called a Spanish jam company. If you go for regular milk, you should be fine, though. I spent a summer in Spain, so, feel free to message me if you want.

Thank you for the reassurance! I'll figure it out more once I get there but I'm trying to pre-plan as much as possible. It would be easiest to call the company after seeing what is available.

      sorry a bit confused so I should take my B complex along with Objective Nutrients Thiamax for TTFD but what about a Benfotiamine to take. The Life extensions contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine together or im confusing myself. I am trying to see if I take Thiamax what should I take for Benfotiamine. Thanks EDITING after further research I see ones water soluble ones fat soluble. So I guess 100MG as you suggested of Life Extension contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride. and the Objective Nutrients Thiamax contains TTFD.     would work for me.

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.

      It's great to hear that eliminating gluten has helped alleviate symptoms like eye burning, which is a significant and positive change. The first and most important step is to ensure you're consuming enough protein throughout the day to support muscle repair and growth, which can be challenging with a busy schedule. Since you're already physically active at work, adding focused strength training just 2-3 times per week can make a major difference. Bodyweight exercises like squats, push-ups (modified if needed), and lunges, or using resistance bands at home, are excellent, efficient places to start. Remember, consistency with these short sessions and prioritizing post-workout recovery, including good sleep and hydration, are just as crucial as the workouts themselves. It's a smart, gradual process at any age.
