If You Could Travel Anywhere In The World, Where Would It Be?

I'm a travel fiend. Junkie, even. Exploring cultures, languages, history, architecture, art, geography, food and so on fascinates me to no end. So, if you were able to travel anywhere, where would you choose and why?

Although not exactly celiac friendly (but that is not the point here), my current picks would be Israel and Jordan, followed by Egypt for the above reasons. I would somehow like to get off the beaten path at times, though, as I dislike crowds. And no resorts for me, please.

Spain, Portugal and France (barge trip down the Canal du Midi), Scotland, Ireland, Wales. Devon and Cornwall,Italy, Greek islands cruise (some of these are repeats) and now that you have talked about it so much, Croatia. I am not into adventure travel - I leave that for the younger ones, and do not get any kicks out of going to dangerous countries. I am starting to sound my age :P

I was just thinking about this! I would go to India. After that, China and Japan. Growing up here in the States, I really notice the lack of history (and yes, I've been to Mesa Verde and other Native American sites). So places, such as India, with such an ancient culture that has stood for so long, absolutely fascinate me! One day!

Antarctica.

New Zealand, Galapagos Islands, Australia, Ireland and Hawaii. In that order.

Although from pictures I have seen of NZ once I got there I might never come back.

China, Korea or Malaysia. Of course, I want to go places that would be very hard to travel and stay gluten-free. :ph34r: If I could MOVE anywhere in the world, even for just a few years I would go to Australia or Ireland. :)

From your list we have yet to go to Spain and Ireland.

If I were to do a Top 10 (make that 11) it would be:

1. Israel

2. Egypt (not at the moment, though!)

3. Turkey

4. Ireland

5. Romania

6. Lithuania

7. Hungary

8. Bulgaria

9. Poland

10. Estonia

11. Slovakia

We've been to many countries but have so many more as well! We have found the further east in Europe we travel (other than the UK) the more we love it. It becomes more real and far less commercialized. I love hearing Croatian and very little English, for example. We really enjoy being totally immersed in the culture - no impersonal hotels but B&Bs for us.

Heck, if money were no object, I'd like a private jet to avoid the hassles of getting to and from the airport and not be packed like a sardine in coach (I got spoiled when my daughter was a flight attendant and I could normally get either business class or first class).

When that happens, I'm sure I'll find lots of places to go. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Scotland, for sure.

Scotland was my first international trip and I've been back many times since. In fact, a piece of my heart was left behind there! Believe me - it is even more awesome than a person can possibly fathom.

      Hi everyone. Back in 2022 I had blood work drawn for iga ext gliadin. Since then I’ve developed worse stomach issues and all other health issues. My doctor just said cut out gluten. He did no further testing. Please see my test results attached. I just need some direction cause I feel so ill and the stomach pain is becoming worse. Can this test show indications for other gastrointestinal diseases?
    • Fayeb23
      Thank you. These were the results TTG ABS NUMERICAL: > 250.0 U/mL [< 14.99]  Really don’t understand the results!

      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.
    • RMJ
      To evaluate the TTG antibody result we’d need to know the normal range for that lab.  Labs don’t all use the same units.  However, based on any normal ranges that I’ve seen and the listed result being greater than a number rather than a specific number, I’d say yes, that is high! Higher than the range where the test can give a quantitative result. You got good advice not to change your diet yet.  If you went gluten free your intestines would start to heal, confusing any further testing,

      Scott is correct….Thank you for catching that!      Direct link for info  of fillers.    http://www.glutenfreedrugs.com/Excipients.htm Link is on 2nd page  of www.glutenfreedrugs.com   Site was started by a pharmacist (or 2) maybe 15-20 yrs ago with LAST updated in  2017.  This makes it’s Drug List so old that it’s no longer relevant. Companies & contacts, along with suppliers &  sources would need to be referenced, same amount effort  as starting with current data on DailyMed      That being said, Excipient List is still be relevant since major changes to product labeling occurred prior ’17.           List is the dictionary that sources the ‘foreign-to-us’ terms used on pharmaceutical labels, terms we need to rule out gluten.    Note on DailyMed INFO— When you look for a specific drug on DailyMed, notice that nearly all of companies (brands/labels) are flagged as a ‘Repackager’… This would seem to suggest the actual ‘pills’ are being mass produced by a limited number of wholesaler suppliers (esp for older meds out of  patent protection.).      If so, multiple repackager-get  bulk shipments  from same supplier will all  be selling identical meds —same formula/fillers. Others repackager-could be switching suppliers  frequently based on cost, or runs both gluten-free & non- items on same lines.  No way to know  without contacting company.     While some I know have  searched pharmacies chasing a specific brand, long-term  solution is to find (or teach) pharmacy staff who’s willing help.    When I got 1st Rx ~8 years ago, I went to Walgreens & said I needed gluten-free.  Walked  out when pharmacist said  ‘How am I supposed  to know…’  (ar least he as honest… ). Walmart pharmacists down the block were ‘No problem!’—Once, they wouldn’t release my Rx, still waiting on gluten-free status from a new supplier. Re: Timeliness of DailyMed info?   A serendipitous conversation with cousin in Mi was unexpectedly reassuring.  She works in office of Perrigo, major products of OTC meds (was 1st to add gluten-free labels).  I TOTALLY lucked out when I asked about her job: “TODAY I trained a new full-time employee to make entries to Daily Med.’  Task had grown to hours a day, time she needed for tasks that couldn’t be delegated….We can only hope majorities of companies are as  conscientious!   For the Newbies…. SOLE  purpose of  fillers (possible gluten) in meds is to  hold the active ingredients together in a doseable form.  Drugs  given by injection or as IV are always gluten-free!  (Sometimes drs can do antibiotics w/ one-time injection rather than 7-10 days of  pills .) Liquid meds (typically for kids)—still read labels, but  could be an a simpler option for some products…
