Hi Everyone,

I'm going to be spending quite some time in London soon and I was wondering if anyone could suggest some gluten free restaurants or restaurants that have a gluten free menu or restaurants that serve gluten free products or just restaurants that are very accomodating??

Also, where are the best places to shop for gluten free products?

Thanks.

Shopping...

In general major supermarkets ... which are somewhat hit and miss in central London....

Tesco, Asda, Sainsburies have gluten-free sections, M&S has them in with "normal food" ....

If you are driving its worth a trip to the larger ones outside of central London.

Resto wise... a couple.. I usually try and find a La Tasca tapas place.... they have a gluten-free menu but more places are starting up and I haven't been in London for over a year.

It's not exhaustive, but should start you off. If you are in the Midlands at all, I know a great resteraunt In Birmingham :)

if you come across Waitrose supermarket, they do some amazing gluten-free bread (yes, gluten-free bread that actually tastes really good :D )

I'm heading back to London for two weeks on business - I'll be staying and working around Paddington. I was diagnosed in London over a year ago, but then I just stayed home because going out to eat was a bit too daunting. I did find one A.S.K. which would prepare my pasta in fresh water and I had no reaction.

Any other suggestions?

La Tasca was okay, no reactions, their menu even specified which things were gluten free.

Texas Embassy has a menu, and it was alright. I say "alright" only because I was born in Texas and am a true Mexican food junkie. It wasn't spicy enough!! They were nice though, and I loved the concept.

Unfortunately, I everywhere else I went I just had to try and pick my way through the menu and order something that "seemed" safe. I was only there for about two days though, and being the poor college student I am really couldn't afford to try and eat safely.

I had really good luck at Giraffe's. They are a chain, and decent food. Things aren't labelled gluten-free, but the wait staff was super accommodating and I never got sick there. Tesco's (supermarket) has an awesome gluten-free section, their bread is super nummy. They over-package the heck out of their food, so the packaging is a bit odd, but don't be put off by it. I remember gluten-free frozen foods as well.

      Rampant decay caused by Celiac’s disease

      Hunger

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi Edene - I usually feel hungry after eating a healthy meal. I also eat some food that has protein and fats or oils assnacks and I don't gain weight by eating extra food. If you are worried that you are not eating enough protein you could take a good look at your fingernails. Malnutrition often causes fingernails to break, crack or be too flexible. They may have prominent ridges either side to side or up and down. This was how my fingernails were when I was malnourished. What keeps me from going to sleep easily is usually some intestinal disturbance that I have not noticed. Sometimes it is because I need to drink more water so I drink water until I get. Sleepy. Sometimes I have very faint intestinal spasms. For this I gently but firmly press down on my abdomen and see if I feel any mild cramps pr spasms. If I do feel something with my fingers or a place that is sore I gently massage that area until the cramp relaxes and allows the intestinal contents to flow on. I learned this from 2 nurses years ago and it has been very useful. I don't have the references but I have seen several articles about this online.   You might want to look up the ileo-cecal valve which can get stuck open or closed. This valve controls the passage of the intestinal contents to be released from the small intestine into the large intestine. Shortly after we eat a meal this valve normally opens to allow the new food we just ate to replace the food we ate in the previous meal to pass on into the large intestine.    Hope this helps!

      Rampant decay caused by Celiac’s disease

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Chris Tonelli! Has she been officially diagnosed with celiac disease? When gluten containing grains are removed from the diet, so is a major source of vitamin and mineral content. Gluten-free flours are not required to be enriched with vitamins and minerals by the FDA as are mainline flours. Your granddaughter should be on some serious vitamin and mineral supplementation, more than just a multivitamin product. Especially important in this situation would be D3, calcium and magnesium. Phosphorous is also important to bone and dental health so she be making sure she is eating foods high in phosphorus. Seeds are a good source of phosphorus but so are many other common foods. Make sure all vitamin and mineral supplements are gluten free as wheat starch can be used as filler or a texturing agent in these kind of products.

      My 13 year old granddaughter has aggressive decay  on her anterior teeth. She is on a strict glutin free diet for about one year. Can it be related  to Celiac disease?
