angela- Newbie

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!

      @Mari, did you read that second article that Scott linked? It is the most recently date one. "Researchers comparing rates of headaches, including migraines, among celiac patients and a healthy control group showed that celiac subjects experienced higher rates of headaches than control subjects, with the greatest rates of migraines found in celiac women.  Additionally, celiacs had higher rates of migraine than control subjects, especially in women. In fact, four out of five women with celiac disease suffered from migraines, and without aura nearly three-quarters of the time."

      As far as I know and I have made severalonline searches, celiac disease disease has not been recognized as a cause of migraines or any eye problems. What I wrote must have been confusing.

      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.
