Yes, I have been on Entocort for about a year. It's used for refractory celiac and completely changed my life. It is a steroid that does not pass the liver and therefore doesn't give the nasty side effects of prednisone. It comes in a coated gelatin capsule that is designed to break down in the colon for ulcerative colitis patients. Since celiac affects...

I just got back yesterday from a three week trip to Prague, Budapest, Sarajevo, and the Croatian islands. I have to say that Budapest has the best gluten free environment of all the places I visited. The store that a previous post describes is in the Lehel Csarnok market literally in the Lehel Ter metro station (line 3) in Pest, T

You are in luck! There is a great Whole Foods just down the road from the Clinic: go East on Cedar Rd (one of the hospital's main roads)about 2-3 miles into Cleveland Heights. As far as restaurants there is a thai restuarant also on Cedar Rd (corner Lee Rd) which is great and I have never had a problem there. Other options are Chiptole if you want to try...

I will be travelling to Prague as well and contacted the Czech Celiac Society. They forwarded me to this website which is pretty good: Open Original Shared Link It has a good vocabulary section as well as a restaurant card. I too am very confused about their assertion that wheat starch is gluten free. What does that mean for us? Nina12488, please keep...

I have traveled on Singapore Airlines and did not have any issues with their gluten-free selection. The food was great and best of all it didn't make me sick. Overall it is a great airline, probably the best I've travelled.

Thailand has a virtually gluten free diet. They use fish sauce instead of soy sauce (no added wheat) and eat rice noodles. They don't eat bread and have very little wheat/oats/rye anywhere in the country other than in their beer. Excellent and safe cuisine is available throughout, albeit spicy. There is no real need to deviate from the normal Thai diet...

gluten-free eating in BKK is very easy! Most of their food is naturally gluten free. Their soy sauce does not contain wheat and they have plenty of dishes with rice noodles and without soy sauce. Curries are a really safe bet. Plenty of cheap fruits also. Be confident and save your gluten-free food for China. Don't worry about Thailand its a very gluten...

Tampa Bay is home to Outback chain of restaurants so there's lots of gluten-free options within that celiac-friendly company, and the restaurants are everywhere: Outback Steakhouse, Bonefish Grill, Flemings Steakhouse. South Tampa's Westshore Mall has PF Changs and Mitchells Fish Market, both of which have gluten-free menus. Near North Tampa/USF/Busch Gardens...

I totally agree, Vinci is the place to go for sure. Excellent food and great waitstaff. They picked up on my declining bread and asked if I'd like a gluten free menu. It's expensive but well worth it.

I just got back from a trip to Asia and had wonderful travel experiences. Eating in Tokyo a challenge since the language and cultural barriers make it hard to know exactly what you're eating. As a whole I didn't feel that they really believed me and felt like they dismiss the "allergy". Soy sauce is everywhere so definitely learn to say "no soy sauce please...
