- ShariW commented on Scott Adams's article in Gluten-Free Travel3Traveling to Spain with Celiac Disease: A Gluten-Free Guide
We just got back from Spain. I ate a lot of tortilla espanola and pimientos de padron! I also enjoyed patatas bravas (potatoes with a spicy paprika sauce) after confirming no gluten. And many, many ensalada mixtas! These salads can be a great lunch option - a huge mixed green salad with vegetables (carrot, tomato, asparagus and maybe corn), tuna and boiled...- europe

Update: I got a call on Monday from the GI doctor's office, they had a cancellation and an appointment opened up for Tuesday. Not much time to prepare, but I went ahead and did it anyway. I haven't been gluten free at any point, but I haven't really loaded up as much as was recommended, either. It takes another 6-8 weeks to get the results, so I'd rather...- 1

Update: I got a call on Monday from the GI doctor's office, they had a cancellation and an appointment opened up for Tuesday. Not much time to prepare, but I went ahead and did it anyway. I haven't been gluten free at any point, but I haven't really loaded up as much as was recommended, either. It takes another 6-8 weeks to get the results, so I'd rather get it done now. I just hope it will be enough and I won't have to try again and delay it even longer. Thanks for the recommendations and thoughtful responses, much appreciated. I will be following up with my GP soon to check for nutritional deficiencies while I'm waiting on the test results. -

Welcome to the forum, @rjane! Making gluten free bread from scratch that both tastes good and holds together is a real challenge. There are some pretty good commercially made choices in the stores these days. Once the big food companies figured out there were enough of us out there for them to generate a profit, they went to work developing some good recipes that are hard to emulate at home. However, the commercially made breads are expensive! One thing to to realize is that gluten free flours often contain ingredients that are hard to digest (polysaccharides) and can cause gas, bloating and the runs. Things like xanthan gum and gar gum that are used as texturing agents. The other thing to understand is that your hubby may have developed intolerance to foods in addition to those that contain gluten. This is common among celiacs and especially in the early stages of recovery. The most common offenders are dairy, oats (even gluten free oats), soy, corn and eggs with dairy and oats being the most prevalent offenders. So, you might experiment with eliminating some of these things. As healing of the villous lining of the small bowel progresses, secondary food intolerances can disappear but full healing can take two years or longer for older adults.
