If you're near Downtown Disney, Rainforest Cafe makes a yummy gluten-free cheeseburger. Just talk to the manager first to be safe.

It was the first restaurant meal I had had in 4 years! :lol:

Are you in Spain? Have you been to Barcelona? If so, have you got any suggestions for restaurants there? We will be there in September.

I usually eat from the markets, I can't afford to do restaurant meals. I'll stop at the market, pick up meat and veggies (and previously cheese, but I've since decided that dairy is a bad idea), and snack on my way to wherever I'm headed that day. I've found that grocery stores always have potato chips and the ingredients are written in several languages. And it's fun to shop in foreign stores.....you never know what you'll find.

A couple sturdy fruits in your pack, some chips, and you should be fine for hours. I'll shop on the way back to the hostel or hotel and cook in the kitchen, or using the hotpot I always buy when I travel. On the rare occasion when I do go out, I've never had a problem explaining what I want to eat. Wheat just isn't as prevalent in all food stuffs, so if it looks like it should be gluten free, it probably is.

      Does Celiac disease affect blood pressure?

      By trents · Posted

      Malabsorption of vitamins and minerals from celiac disease tends to be global. So, if you are low in one or two things that have been tested, you are likely low in other vitamins and minerals as well. Routinely, we the admins on this forum recommend to those celiacs who were undiagnosed for years to supplement with sublingual B12, a high-potency B-complex, D3 (5000 to 10,000 IU daily), magnesium glycinate (the form of magnesium is important for optimum absorption and also to prevent a laxative effect) and zinc picolinate (the form is important). Please realize that an adult multivitamin is just not strong enough to effectively correct severe and long-standing deficiencies.  Make sure all supplements are gluten free. If you have access to a Costco store, there Kirkland Signature products and Nature Made lines are good choices, good quality, fairly economical and will specify on the label if they are gluten free. Many of them are gluten free.  I'm assuming your doctors have checked your potassium levels since you have been on blood pressure meds. Some of them will leach potassium from the body and potassium is a critical element in cardiac health. Also, many blood pressure meds cause coughing in a significant percentage of people: https://bloodpressureexplained.com/blood-pressure-medications-that-cause-coughing/

      Progesterone pills - are they gluten free??

      By Mettedkny · Posted

      So interesting @Ccoast Celiac that you have experienced the same issue as @MO1984 with the same manufacturer. I don't have any "gut issues" that I can feel, but my bloodwork is out of wack. I have an endo scheduled shortly, and hope there is no sign of damage! Wondering if you have had bloodwork done that shows problems.

      Does Celiac disease affect blood pressure?

      By Dorothy O. · Posted

      Yes I was officially diagnosed as Celiac.  although an older brother almost died because of coeliac disease we were never informed that it was genetic. An orthopod suspected coeliac because of frequent falls and osteoporosis. I also suffered from pneumonia at least once a year often twice a year. All of this stopped after the diagnosis. Three years ago in January, my husband passed away.  Until that time, I had the blood pressure of a teenager.  About two months later, the blood pressure issues began. I had been told that the coeliac disease prevented my body from absorbing calcium and vitamin D. I am wondering if there are other minerals or vitamins that my body lacked. My blood pressure average is in the 170s but drops below 100 frequently.  After three years and numerous medication’s, I have a diagnosis, but I do not respond to any blood pressure medications.

      Welcome to the forum, @Dorothy O.! May we assume you have now been officially diagnosed with celiac disease? You seem to imply this and if so, when did these blood pressure and cough symptoms start to appear?

      After being an undiagnosed celiac for 70 years, I’m now 80 years old and have been experiencing high and low blood pressure extremes along with a severe cough.  Both cardiologist and respirologist are at loss for treatment.  Is it food related to being celiac?
