Anyoe here from the German speaking part of Switzerland? I'm an American living in Zurich, and my German isn't so good, so I'd love any pointers on ingredients. I know all the major grain names, but some of the little additives are a bit tricky--for example I was eating hydrogenated oil here for months because I had translated it wrong. I also don't know the labeling laws very well--seems to be optional to say if something has allergic stuff or possible cross contamination.

Hi!

I do not live in Zurich but I was hoping to get a little advice! I will be going to Zurich next weekend for a few nights and was wondering if you have any suggestions of places to eat or buy food.

Thank you! Any advice will help!

Enjoy your day.

I'm not sure about gluten-free dining--I just went gluten-free last week and haven't even considered eating out. All the health food stores carry gluten-free foods--there are two big chains, the Mueller Reformhaus and the Egli stores. There is an Egli in the shopping mall part of the main train station (underneath the ground floor). Luckily gluten free is "gluten-frei" (rhymes with fry) in German.

      gluten-free and continued upper left side pain after drinking wine

      I think most of us, when we first got our diagnosis, imagined that going gluten free would be the magic the bullet that would restore us to perfect health. We soon find out that it usually isn't quite that simple and that celiac disease has long fingers.

      Thanks! I still have much to learn, I'd hoped going gluten-free would be a magic bullet and I'm learning my system is still very sensitive which is overwhelming and discouraging at times. Thanks for the yogurt tip! There is comfort in knowing that this is common during early healing and I'm not alone!

      Thanks so much for the response. Are you usually able to pinpoint a trigger when you get the pain again? What I didn’t share in my earlier post is that I also usually eat out on weekends (though I share celiacs/needs to be gluten-free) and I’ve also been under a lot of stress lately in my personal life. While I’m speculating that it’s the wine it could certainly be a number of things. Do you ever notice the pain more when you are stressed? Learning so much about the brain/gut connection and celiacs. Thanks, there is comfort in hearing others have experienced similar symptoms.

      This was my main symptom. I still get it from time to time. Also feels like a burning pain on the upper abdomen. I think the wine could definitely cause the pain to be worse. There are do many things I still can't eat.

      Intolerance after eating certified pasta gluten free could be caused by additives & or stabilaiser added in the composition of the pasta ingredients, even in the best brands please ceck well before buyng & eating

      Yes and this is true of gluten free ready made, processed and prepackaged foods in general. In particular, hard to digest polysaccharides are commonly used in these products that give many celiacs issues and I personally don't handle some emulsifiers well. IMO, reactions to these ingredients are often mistaken for a gluten reaction.
