I will be traveling to Iceland, Armenia, Mongolia, Vietnam, Cambodia, Bhutan, India, Ethiopia, Mali, Libya and Malta next month. Any ideas on foods or grains or local dishes in any of those areas which are gluten free?

Please help - any information is most appreciated.

I can't offer much help, but I am very jealous. I have always wanted to go to Iceland and Mongolia. I know that in Iceland, they eat a lot of fish and some wild game meats.

Indian food is delicious, and most gluten free!

They may have a dish called dhal bhatt... very tastey, they eat it in Nepal. (just north)

It consists of rice (bhatt), dhal (lentil soup type thing, makes the rice stick together to make it easier to eat with hands), and vegetables. The spices used are fine, but may be a little spicey to your liking.

Main thing while eating in India, don't eat raw fruits or vegetables unless they have been iodined! That will probably give you the most trouble. :)

Hope that helps, and have a safe travel!

      EGD with flatten mucosa

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      Young celiac person looking for advice

      By DanteZaffar · Posted

      Hello, I’m only 20 and recently got diagnosed with celiac disease. I’ve been gluten free for around 2-3 months now but still feel miserable with bouts of gi symptoms that can come and go. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong since I’ve cut back on a lot of food and eat more Whole Foods alongside using my own plates and such to  avoid possible sites of cross continuation. Recently my gi symptoms seemed to have gotten better but now I’m having a tension headache and some bouts of anxiety which were characteristic of my state when I first started out in the gluten free diet. Am I doing something wrong for these symptoms to come and go randomly??? Or is this normal for the healing process to be so random. I’m scared that I might have unresponsive celiac or refractory even though it would be highly unlikely…

      Does this require proof of having refractory celiac? I’ve been gluten free for a couple months but still feel miserable but I’m not sure if its refractory celiac disease.

      Welcome to the forum, @HeloIP! There are some other diseases, some medications (NSAIDs, olmesartan) and even some other food protein intolerances (the dairy protein casein) that can cause flattened villi in the duodenum but the most likely cause is celiac disease. Your GI doc may want to run some blood work to check for antibodies that are specific to celiac disease as a follow-up so, in case he/she does, don't start a gluten-free diet until that blood draw is done.
