Italy (Rome, Florence, Venice) without pasta and pastry

We are traveling to Italy during Passover.  While I've heard Italy is great for Celiacs, I'm going to try and stick with the spirit of Pesach by avoiding pastas, pizzas, pastry (I know, breaks my heart, but it's school spring break so we have to go now).  I do eat kitnyot (rice, beans, etc.), so that should make things a bit easier.

Does anyone have any specific recommendations for any of these cities?  I'm guessing risotto will be a good option, and grilled chicken type dishes, but thought I'd check to see if anyone has faced this particular challenge and has suggestions.  I will be bringing a few things with me, but we're trying to travel light, so I'm limited.

Thanks in advance.

This is a little late, but a good Italian-English GF restaurant card would be recommended. There are many GF pastas in Italy, and Barilla makes a great one. The trick is getting them to cook it in a separate pot than they use for wheat. You may want to bring AN-PEP enzymes with you just in case.

      Thank you! It was never explained to me why it didn’t show up in the labs. This makes so much more sense to me now. The endoscopy test was very easy though. I was worried about my first one and have had 2 since. I don’t think I was able to eat after midnight because of anesthesia, the procedure itself took 20 minutes. I did need a driver to get me home after just where I was put under anesthesia for the procedure.

      You are confusing two different things. You are confusing seronegative celiac disease, in which all celiac antibody tests will be negative despite a positive biopsy, with mixed positive and negative antibody tests. It is normal for someone with celiac disease to not have all antibody tests throw positives. That's why they have developed different antibody tests. What one misses, another may catch. It is the same way when diagnosing many other medical conditions. Usually, not all diagnostic tests for that condition will be positive. You have to look at the total body of evidence.

      I had 2 blood tests at the same time. One negative, one positive.  No insurance coverage for endoscopy but felt MUCH MUCH better after three days gluten-free and many hair, skin, and rash issues cleared or improved in a week. It seems there are lots of false negatives in Celiac blood tests.

      Check out Sally K. Norton’s work on oxalates. She wrote a book called Toxic Superfoods. Your symptoms are similar to some of mine. Many of us with celiac disease have oxalate toxicity because of the damage to our guts. Oxalates chelates our minerals and calcium binds to oxalates. At least check out her website, it may help a lot. Good luck.

      The study you posted was done by the USDA. Not much more needs to be said about that. It only tested for one type of parasite. There are many types of parasites that are typically only found in meat. I have tried all different kinds of dairy - whole, nonfat, skim, etc. I cannot eat any dairy, no matter what kind. I have wondered about iodine. Some people claim it makes them break out more, especially with celiac. I have been toying with my diet for decades now. I am 46 years old, and have known about celiac since my early twenties. I will keep you guys posted about the Skinesa. Usually after about a week I start breaking out on probiotics. It's been 3 days so far and everything's good. I'm on Dapsone also. I appreciate all the feedback.
