Where to eat in Rome?

My daughter who has celiac is currently visiting Rome, Italy, for 2 weeks (July, 2019). Can anyone recommend current restaurants or foods? Most of the posts I've seen about Rome are several years old.

Also, any "do's or don'ts" you'd suggest?

Thanks!

We were there two years ago and I found plenty of gluten free options.  At least half of the restaurants had some kind of gluten free pasta.  Gluten free pizza was harder to find. Enjoy!

I ate a lot of GROM ice cream while I was there.  And risotto.  Absolutely delicious risotto.

Most restaurants have good choices, and there is a lot of awareness about cross-contamination, though you still need to ask.

      Would you also agree that being so close to the IgA deficient cut off is significant? We just have been told he’s not as just over into the not deficient category… thank you so much for all the help so far, it’s been so helpful!

      One study showed that up to 44% of first degree relatives also have celiac disease, so his odds of having it are quite high. Also, if he were not IgA deficient his celiac disease test scores would likely have been much higher because they were based on the IgA antibodies.

      Statistically, the incidence of IBS and other bowel disorders is higher in the celiac population than it is in the general population. Still, I would take one thing at a time. There is significant reason to believe your son does have celiac disease and there is no nasty prep needed for that endoscopic procedure. Assuming that he does have either celiac disease...

      Thank you, I do feel the likelihood is high which is why I am reluctant to do a colonoscopy as I feel we will find the answer. Whatever the endoscopy says though and even if it were to be negative he will be going gluten free as the positive EMA has to mean something with symptoms and one parent coeliac. But there is a niggling doubt as I try and...

      As the article mentions: EMA-IgA (endomysial antibodies IgA) Blood Test for Celiac Disease: tTG-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) Blood Test for Celiac Disease: So the likelihood is very high he has celiac disease, and even if the biopsy results turn out negative, I would still consider a gluten-free diet.

      Statistically, the incidence of IBS and other bowel disorders is higher in the celiac population than it is in the general population. Still, I would take one thing at a time. There is significant reason to believe your son does have celiac disease and there is no nasty prep needed for that endoscopic procedure. Assuming that he does have either celiac disease or NCGS, it is likely that a gluten-free diet corrects his symptoms and there would be no need to pursue a lower GI and it's nasty prep.  I would also add that the immune system of a child his age is not mature. It's in flux. Because of this, celiac disease testing can yield erratic results. And I would also add that some experts believe that NCGS can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. If this is true, there would seem to be transition phases. I hope you will keep us posted.
