Hello all!

Im going to Iceland for the first time in April and will be staying a couple of days in Reykjavik before heading on to Sweden. Have any of you gluten-free-ers ever been to Reykjavik? Anyone know what to look for in the grocery stores as far as gluten free. I am thinking they will have a lot of stuff similar to the Scandinavian countries. But any input would be sooooo appreciated! Thank you!

Haleym, I have been on Iceland several times. You want to visit the health food stores in Reykjavik (there are several) for gluten-free Wasa crackers, breads, cookies, etc. These stores sell Dr. Schar products as well. The nice thing about Iceland is you will find the gluten free items in a gluten-free section of the health food stores. I never had a problem eating in Iceland. The food is fresh, particularly if you love fish or lamb. I took an Icelandic restaurant card that a native Icelander made for me and emailed me. I no longer have the card, but I contacted the Icelandic Celiac Society because it was there that they gave me the emaill address of someone who helped me.

If you can squeeze in the time, make an excursion by bus to the Blue Lagoon Open Original Shared Link If you go to the Blue Lagoon (you MUST go) there is a motel/restaurant next door called The Northern Light Inn, Open Original Shared Link Christiana runs it, and she was wonderful. Anything she cooks is fabulous, and I recommend you bath in the Blue Lagoon in the afternoon, then have them call Christiana for a free shuttle to her motel up the road. I feel so pampered when I do this.

Hope you have a great time!

I've also been to Iceland twice and will be going again at the end of this month. However, I just got diagnosed with celiac disease a month ago, so I wasn't on this diet the last 2 times I went. I'll also be going to Finland (my 2nd time) and Estonia. I'll be staying in Reykjavik mainly.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.
