I am traveling to Portugal for a vacation. We'll be in Porto and Lisbon. Any recommendations for gluten- free friendly restaurants and grocery stores where I could find some snacks? We'll be there for 10 days so I may run out of my standard stash of snacks I bring in my suitcase on trips. thanks everyone for any tips!

We spent 3 days in Lisbon with our 2 gluten-free children and no trouble at all. They are very knowledgeable about gluten so you just have to say "gluten free?" and they will help you with the menu. We had this experience at every sidewalk cafe we sat down at. We didn't speak any Portugese so it was all done by pointing and the great English that most of the servers spoke.

All of the grocery stores we found in Portugal and Spain had gluten-free areas.

      Celiac for dummies

      I was just diagnosed at 26 after accidental finding. Any simple tips for newbies? Things a non celiac would never think of? I already went through my prescriptions and identified some medications that have gluten. Is there a beginners guide? Celiac for dummies?

      Wow! Thank you @trents I really appreciate the responses. This line of diagnosis has me questioning a lot of symptoms over the course of my life. Very validating and very much a bummer at the same time.

      Positive biopsy

      Yep, you've got celiac disease. That is a high score. In the U.K. you could have been diagnosed on the TTG-IGA score alone and not needed an endoscopy/biopsy. But I realize your physicians were not looking for celiac disease in the first place. But it also makes me wonder how much of your bowel issues are tied to celiac disease whose onset may actually have...

But I realize your physicians were not looking for celiac disease in the first place. But it also makes me wonder how much of your bowel issues are tied to celiac disease whose onset may actually have been years ago. Taking years to get a celiac diagnosis after onset is typical because the symptoms mimic so many other bowel diseases and many of us have "silent" celiac for years, meaning we have no or few symptoms until damage the small bowel lining becomes quite advanced and other symptoms, e.g. iron deficiency anemia, start showing up.
