Hi there, I'm going to be living in Madrid, Spain and I am allergic to gluten. I speak spanish fairly fluently so language should not be a problem, but where can I go to buy food and what kinds? How do I manage it while I'm there? Any info would be helpful! :)

Hi I recently found this website which is in Spanish but list via regions where to buy Gluten Free products. I'm going to Spain for a months holiday later this year so thats how I came across this site. Its the only one I found so far but it appears to be a main Celiac society of Spain. Hope it helps

Hi

I've been to Spain last fall. There are two big super markets mit gluten free products. I prefer Open Original Shared Link . They have bread, pasta and many other things. Even beer. The other is Open Original Shared Link . You can find these shops in every city in Spain. In Madrid I know you'll find a Corte Ingles at every second corner.

Have fun

Although it's a very old post, I'm gonna update it.

I'm Spanish and I live in Madrid. My wife and my son are both celiacs. There are gluten-free restaurants in Madrid where you can go:

Pizza-Jardin (only gluten-free pizza)

Vips (you need to check locations with gluten-free menu)

Da Nicola (italian restaurant with the biggest gluten-free menu all around Madrid)

El Corte Ingles Cafeteria (including gluten-free desserts)

If you wanna purchase gluten-free products there are a few supermarkets where you can go:

Mercadona (the owner's son is celiac so every single product labeled "SIN GLUTEN" is 100% gluten-free)

El Corte Ingles (maybe is too expensive but there are a lot of available products)

Alcampo (highly recommended Schar products -best gluten-free bakery and pastry in Europe-)

Carrefour (with only 3-4 different kinds of bread and muffins)

Hope it can work you.

      Muscle Twitching

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Oh, @Yaya! Five years???  How awful for you to suffer so long! My Vitamin D came up in a matter of months.  High dose Vitamin D has been used in the past to correct rickets and is a safe method to correct Vitamin D deficiency.   I took 1000 IU several times a day, every day for several weeks.  I ate them like m&m's when I was severely deficient.  My brain craved them.  I felt so much better afterwards.  On maintenance dose now.  Yes, the craving went away as my level reached 80-95.   Ask your cardiologist about supplementing with.Benfotiamine.

      GLUTEN FREE OCD MEDICATION

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @CeliacPsycho246, My OCD symptoms resolved after I took supplements of the active form of Pyridoxine B6 called P5P and L-Theanine, an amino acid.   Pyridoxine B6 is absorbed from foods or supplements and then must be changed to its active form.  P5P is the active form.  Inflammation and malabsorption can impede this process.  Taking the active form is beneficial because it is ready to be used immediately.   L-Theanine is a natural amino acid that helps immensely with anxiety.   Together these two supplements really work to relieve OCD. I like Life Extension brand of P5P, but there are others that are labeled gluten free, too.  L-Theanine is found in chocolate, but as much as I love chocolate, Theanine  supplements work better.   Hope you are open to trying these as a stop-gap until your doctor's appointment.  Keep us posted on your results.

      GLUTEN FREE OCD MEDICATION

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      On the cusp of facing a new life of managing a life with Celiac Disease

      Help with results please. As I have a appt after the New Year.

      One positive blood test result means you likely have celiac disease, but to confirm it they may want to do an endoscopy to verify it with biopsies. Unless you have severe symptoms now, you likely should continue eating gluten daily until all testing is completed, and should eat tons of gluten daily in the 2 weeks before an endoscopy.
