I am leaving for Italy soon (like in 4 days) and I would like to hear from anyone who has been there.

Can you find gluten-free foods in a reg. grocerystore? How receptive are resterants to gluten-free diets?

I believe (could be wrong) that you can purchase gluten free foods at the pharmacy.

LOL... very briefly but that video is well worth watching anyway...

Italy is probably the best place...I have been to and I travel a lot..

You can get gluten-free foods in pharmacies but last year they had adverts for a new a chain of gluten-free supermarkets ...

Diagnosis rate is 1:200 so awareness is very high... almost any resto is going to know about it.

Even little ice cream shops tend to have gluten-free cones

The Italian celiac organisation has lists of resto's in almost every major town...

      Pathology results - coeliac positive?

      By Tazzy11 · Posted

      Thanks so much for replying!  No I haven't been limiting gluten prior to this test, I didn't know the Dr even tested for it until I got my results. These were the only celiac related pathology that was tested for. I am seeing my Dr on Monday so hopefully she can shed some more light!

      Thanks a lot! I will search that too. I also talked to another doctor and she assured me there is no gluten in this type of antibiotics. Anyway i started the administration of Augmentin on my girl this evening. I hope there will be no problems.

      Brasswell marmalade and jellies are gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Good afternoon, I don’t know if anyone here has ever tried Braswell’s products like their marmalades or jellies? Are they gluten-free? On the ingredients says “cane sugar, cherries (cherries, cane sugar), strawberries, corn syrup, pectin and citric acid. That ingredient list is from their berry preserve bottle. Most of them say the same for ingredients, but I’m not sure if it is okay to consume.

      NEED TO READ ALL LABELS (FRONT & BACK)

      I have seen this problem many times. I always get in touch with the company. Most times they tell me if I'm just gluten free it is ok, but do not eat it if you are celiac. Calling the company is the best way when you are not sure. Yesterday I had a different example of products being marked gluten-free.  I love chocolate and have a piece each day. The chocolate bar I like is Chocolove. When I bought one this week it was not marked gluten-free. I called the company to find out why and if it was still gluten-free.  Turns out the manufacturer decided there was too much on the wrapper and took off the gluten-free label. It is made in a dedicated gluten-free facility.
