Gluten Free In Athens, Greece?

Going to Athens for a holiday very last minute! Leaving tomorrow afternoon and arriving in the evening.

This will be my first time out of the country since realising I cannot eat gluten, so I am a little nervous. I will be in a hotel, so no apartment to cook in :(

Has anyone been before? Do you have any tips for being gluten free abroad, any meals to recommend?(I will eat anything except gluten!)

Thanks everyone :)

We travel a lot but have not been to Greece since my diagnosis. I have, however, been to other European countries. I would recommend frequenting markets for fresh produce. I also highly recommend printing out restaurant cards in Greek to give to those preparing your food. Not only that but take along lots of snacks for airports and flights. The airports I fly into have almost no options and the gluten-free food on flights can be atrocious (and not necessarily safe - read labels). I would also take along a loaf of your favourite bread.

Have a wonderful time!

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      By cristiana · Posted

      Interesting, when I suffered for a few months with ectopics I noticed that carbohydrates would cause indigestion and bloating in my stomach, then that would lead to my heart skipping beats, and I could feel it in my throat, it was very unsettling.  My last serious bout of this was after eating a Muller Rice Pudding for breakfast.   I happened to be wearing a 48 hour halter at the time and cardiology picked it up, but they weren't worried about what they saw. There was some British doctor who'd made some videos on the Vagus nerve that I remember watching at the time which made sense of what I was experiencing, there did seem to be some sort of connection.

      I asked my cardiologist about stopping vitamins.  He said his tests account for all detectable vitamins from sources other than food.  I only need to stop them for a couple of days.  He has me keep records of meds and vitamins I've ingested over the past 10 days and prior and he does his calculations.

      Do some people with Celiacs develop hypoglycemia?

      By jessysgems · Posted

      Reply to treats I try and eat to bring up the glucose. Sometime I get up 3 times a night and eat something. I don't think food is the issue. A lot of the food they say should help doesn't.  Many mornings my level is 59 and I feel sick, sometimes for hours. It has been recommended I go to an Endocrinologist.
