I am staying on Corfu island for two weeks next month, in Arillas and Agios Gordios.

I was diagnosed coeliac 4 months’ ago and this is my first trip abroad. Any advice re cafes, restaurants, supermarket products and gluten free bottled beers would be most welcome.

Thank you

You may wish to take a gluten-free dining card with you. Here is one in Greek:

Γεια σας, υποφέρω από μια σοβαρή κατάσταση που ονομάζεται νοσηλεία νιάτικης ταλαιπωρίας και δεν μπορώ να φάω οτιδήποτε περιέχει γλουτένη. Η γλουτένη είναι μια πρωτεΐνη που βρίσκεται στον σίτο, το κριθάρι και το ρυζι. Αυτό σημαίνει ότι δεν μπορώ να φάω ψωμί, ζυμαρικά, κέικ ή οτιδήποτε που φτιάχνεται με αλεύρι σίτου. Ακόμα και μικρές ποσότητες γλουτένης μπορούν να με κάνουν πολύ άρρωστο.

Παρακαλώ βοηθήστε με να παραμείνω ασφαλής εξασφαλίζοντας ότι το γεύμα μου είναι πλήρως απαλλαγμένο από γλουτένη. Αυτό σημαίνει να μην χρησιμοποιείτε καθόλου αλεύρι σίτου ή άλλα συστατικά που περιέχουν γλουτένη, συμπεριλαμβανομένων σάλτσες, σούπες και σάλτσες για σαλάτες. Σας ευχαριστώ για την κατανόησή σας και τη συνεργασία σας.

Hello, I suffer from a serious condition called celiac disease, and I cannot eat anything that contains gluten. Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. This means I cannot eat bread, pasta, cakes, or anything made with wheat flour. Even small amounts of gluten can make me very sick.

Please help me stay safe by ensuring that my meal is completely gluten-free. This means not using any wheat flour or other gluten-containing ingredients, including sauces, soups, and dressings. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Ah thanks Scott. That is really useful.

      Have you considered the possibility that you might have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) rather than celiac disease? They share many of the same symptoms, the difference being that NCGS does not damage the lining of the small bowel. It is 10x more common than celiac disease. There is no test yet available for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. In view of your genetic profile, I would give it consideration.

      Hi, 25f who recently had a endoscopy procedure to diagnose celiac disease. Mum and uncle are both diagnosed celiacs. I've had symptoms over the past year - headaches that have become debilitating and frequent, feeling faint and nauseous with high heart rate, diarrhea and constipation, anemia, and recently my periods have become almost non existent. My doctor sent me a letter yesterday saying this " biopsies from the duodenum show some very mild features that could be in keeping with celiac disease but also could be due to other causes". I am waiting on an appointment to see him in the clinic to discuss this but in the meantime I wanted to check if anyone else has experienced this? I was eating plenty of gluten before my camera test and for the past 2 weeks have completely cut it out of my diet and I'm seeing changes in my bowel movements for the first time in my life! Headaches, dizziness etc are still there but maybe it takes longer for them to go away? Any help would be so appreciated -  I feel so lost in this whole process!!

      Did your symptoms improve after going on a gluten-free diet?

      Thank you for sharing your genetic test results and background. Your results indicate you carry one half of the DQ2 heterodimer (DQA1*05), which is associated with a very low celiac disease risk (0.05%). While most celiac patients have either DQ2 or DQ8, these genes are also present in people without celiac disease, so the test alone doesn’t confirm a diagnosis. Since you’ve been gluten-free for 10 years, traditional diagnostic methods (like endoscopy or blood tests) would not be reliable now. If an official diagnosis is important to you, consider discussing a gluten challenge with your doctor, where you reintroduce gluten for a period before testing. Alternatively, you could focus on symptom management and dietary adherence, as your gluten-free diet seems to be helping. Consulting a gastroenterologist or celiac specialist could provide further clarity.  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:
