Hey Everyone!

I am just posting to encourage people to travel and to not let celiac get in the way. I am 20 years old and was diagnosed with celiac in June of 2006, so about 7 months ago.

I am currently studying abroad in London and have traveled in Europe. It is very very possible!!! So far I have been to England, Scotland, Belgium, Sweden and Denmark.

I have successfully eaten gluten free in all of these places and haven

this is so great to hear, because I'm going to Spain for 6 weeks and I have been so nervous about it, but I had also heard that Europe was easier than here. the organization that set up my housing said they found the perfect family for me that was "very familiar with the diet" so I think things will go just fine. ^_^

As an avid traveller, I can thoroughly recommend UK and Australia for gluten-free dieters! I have always found the US very difficult to negotiate. After the language barrier, there is the general community's lack of knowledge. There are excellent (exceptional) products available in specialty stores etc, but the average traveller doesn't usually have access to, or find these, especially with a tour for example. You will find waiters and waitresses and chefs are more likely to know about it here (although I still get the occasional 'blank look').

      I’m so confused…

      Thank you. I already cut out dairy and eggs because I found out I was having a problem with them. To be honest I’m just getting worn out 😂

      Can food allergies like milk and soy flatten villi?

      Hi Kitty, thank you for your e mail, I have seen a nutritionist who seemed to be happy with the food diary I had been keeping and nothing was mentioned about extra vitamins, and I’m still using milk etc . The steroids seem to be working and everything is functioning as it should however, the course of tablets finish at the end of February and I...

      Being a burden to family/friends

      It might be understandable to say "friends or family weeded me or you out of their lives". Some people are fearful of getting out of their comfortable known lives and having to make changes to accommodate another. If they are too uncomfortable to walk a mile with me, I shake the dust off my feet and journey on. They're just not ready to learn that lesson...

      I’m so confused…

      You might also be sensitive to other things while you are healing. Dairy, for example. It won't harm you from a celiac standpoint but is inflammatory and could be bothering you. Have you been keeping a food & symptom journal? Might be worth it for a week to see if you notice something you are eating prior to the times you feel your worst. I hope you start...

      Recipe Apps?

      Someone recently recommended Superfoods for looking up recipes free of allergens or intolerances. It's a web site but there's also an app.

      Hi Kitty, thank you for your e mail,  I have seen a nutritionist who seemed to be happy with the food diary I had been keeping and nothing was mentioned about extra vitamins, and I’m still using milk etc . The steroids seem to be working and everything is functioning as it should however,  the course of tablets finish at the end of February and I have an appointment with the consultant early April probably followed by another endoscopy, as far as I’m aware I have not been tested for vitamin B and will definitely discuss it with the doctor on my next visit.
