If You're Gluten Free But Love Authentic European Food :)

I don't know if anyone else feels the same about food as I do, but I am a foodie and I really like eating foreign foods! :P I am an American and I am currently living in Germany near the Dutch border. Being a celiac in Europe is sometimes a mild form of torture :P because there are so many amazing foods I wish I could try. There were so many things that I wanted to eat, but it just wan't possible, so I decided to get a little bit creative with my own cooking and wanted to share some of the results here. :)

I figured out that if there is any gluten free food from a foreign country that you really want to try, (or that you miss and it isn't possible to find gluten free already) the best source of recipes (gluten free ones) are online in the language of the recipe country. For example, in Germany I search "glutenfrei Rezepte" or for the Netherlands "glutenvrij recepten" or for Italy "ricette senza glutine". If you don't speak those languages, then you can just use chrome as a browser and turn on the little translate button in the corner.  I especially like to use pinterest for this because you can see pictures of it and that's easier if you don't speak the language. 

 

Here are some examples:

One thing that I always want to eat is wienerschnitzel from Germany (btw you can get the bread crumbs to make these from Schar in the USA now!)

and lasagna from Italy:

or anything from the Netherlands :)

The results of the food when you use authentic recipes are SOOO much better than if you use an American recipe and try to modify it to be gluten free yourself. I hope that this info can help out other celiacs who really like authentic foreign foods :) and if there's a gluten free recipe in Dutch or German I would be willing to help translate it if anyone needs help! :)

This is awesome, Erika!  I like your attitude.  If you can't eat the food that is under your nose, then find a way to make it gluten free and these links will certainly help.-

Thank you for sharing this.....much appreciated!  :)

      I use Listerine.  Rinse first to soften the tarter, then brush with Oral B electric toothbrush super sonic.  The $15 ones at the supermarket.  At 73 I still have all my teeth.  While a blood test can measure iodine levels, it's not the most accurate method for assessing iodine status, and urinary iodine excretion is considered a better indicator.  Have any of your dermatologists ever done a biopsy for dermatitis herpetiformis?  I may have missed it.  Note the similarity of Casal's necklace to one of your symptoms. Pellagra rash is a characteristic skin manifestation of niacin (vitamin B3) deficiency. It typically presents as:  Erythema: Red, sunburned-like areas of skin, often on the face, neck, arms, and legs.  Scaliness: Dry, flaky skin that may become thickened and crusty.  Hyperpigmentation: Darkened patches of skin, particularly in sun-exposed areas.  Casal's necklace: A dark, pigmented band around the neck.  I am currently taking these} Vitamin D 10,000 IU (250 mcg) DHEA 100 mg 500 mcg Iodine  10 drops of Liquid Iodine B1 Thiamin 250 mg  B2 Riboflavin 100 mg B3 Nicotinic Acid 500 mg 4 times a day for hyperlipidemia. B5 Pantothenice Acid 500 mg Vitamin C 500 mg     Selenium 200 mcg  Several times a week

      I will. Thanks. I did just have mg B12 drawn. I should also state that I am already taking a Vit D supplement, as I live in the US in New England sand just about everyone who lives here is deficient, esp during our winters with less exposure to natural sunlight. I was also taking a chewable bariatric vitamin as well because of my food issues related to my cancer treatment (which was many years ago, but there are long term effects.) I just stopped it because I was unable to get any gluten information about it. And it did contain iodine. Is there even a vitamin that doesn’t? I don’t know, but I will check. I also take Calcium and Magnesium in the form of “Rolaids” for leg cramps/spasms, with good effects. Thanks.

      @Itsabit, Ask your doctor for an erythrocyte transkelatose test to measure thiamine.  It's a better measure of thiamine deficiency than a serum test.

      Most toothpastes are naturally gluten-free, but this article may be helpful:
