as an addendum,

just came back from dinner in MIlan at

osteria dei 5 sensi

Open Original Shared Link

Another great place listed by the Italian Celiac Association.

A lot of choices and without a doubt the best gluten-free rolls I ever had.

Fantastic pastas and salads too.

Thanks so much Ken for scouting out additional restaurants in my area (and right around the corner too!). Once I found the Be Bop Cafe I didn't venture further, but both the places you've listed look sublime (ahhh wonderful salamis and exquisite cheeses are right up my alley!).

abbracci a te ed a la tua moglie!

e molto gentile da parte sua

Hope I can have as much luck in parma -- did find a good place around the corner with gluten-free pasta but pigged out in the room on the farmacia goodies.

trying to decide what to do tonight as the places for dinner dont open to 8.

Meetings went well in Bra and Pollenzo & Margy got her asti in Asti.

take care

Last night after a month in Italy and time sure flies.

Am sitting in Ancona on the Adriatic thinking that I need to have this place mentioned in the forum files.

Restorante Osteria Teatro Strabacco in Via Oberdan n. 2

near the central area of Ancona is well worth the trip to this out of the way port town.

it is mentioned on the Italian Celiac Assoc. website but is not mentioned is the number of choices they have.

Really pigged out with a pizza with eggplant, zuchinni and onions, cannoloni and ravioli.

Yeah I ate for 3 but its been a lot of years since I had ravioli and couldnt resist. Another family came in while we were there for lunch. Their little boy had ceilac too and they had driven from 4 hours south to see a specialist here and were taking him to lunch. He ordered two other pastas. They also have a lot of fish and meats in this really great old style place. The owner who's pictures was on the wall with hundreds of Italian celebrities looked like a younger shorter version of me so we hit it off. I do have the feeling he would hit it off with anyone making them feel welcome in the place.

Amelia -- thanks agian for the goodies, they reaLLY saved me when out in the sticks.

Only so many times i can eat ham and cheese -- even if it is the best Procusitto and pecorino.

Off to Germany tomorrow..

Ken

      Possible (Non)-celiac gluten sensitivity(?)

      By green-blossom · Posted

      Hi everyone, I am new here, and have some questions. I recently discovered that ~15 minutes after eating durum wheat semolina pasta, I get a strange feeling in my stomach area. I have been struggling with stomach aches, bloating and difficulty with bowel movements etc for about 10 years now (im in my mid twenties.) I have tried a lot to fix this, apart from adjusting my diet. Unfortunately I can't cook and mostly eat pasta, pizza, burgers and so on. I tried a lot of other things to fix it, like working out, yoga, meditation and so on. It helps a bit, although I never really felt relaxed in my stomach area, which caused a lot of problems in everyday life. I tried going gluten free for one day. Everything I normally eat, but gluten-free. And I felt much better all day and had no problems with stomach aches or bloating. Now my question is: Could this be a case of celiac disease in my case? (I only 'suffer' from digestive symptoms) ... and is it possible to develop this during 'puberty' or at other stages of life in general? No one in my family has coeliac condition. I didn't have the problem until I was 15. When I was 20, a lot of bad things happened and I was very unhappy and also had IBS symptoms due to extreme stress. Should I see a doctor and is it safe to switch to a gluten-free diet for now?  Thank you.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The only issue with that approach, is that some restaurants may not want to serve you--if you say you get violently ill, or have a deadly allergy, etc.--remember, at least here in California, businesses can decline to serve you.

      @llisa, have you also been diagnosed with celiac disease? You don't actually say but we have assumed that.

      Gluten free vitamins

      By llisa · Posted

      I had bariatric surgery in 2018. My doctor put me on multiple vitamins, D3, and calcium (in the form of 2 Tums daily). My endocrinologist monitors my levels of these things, as well as my diabetes and Hashimoto's.

      Yes, I have concerns about the calcium supplementation as well. Sounds like a good idea on the surface if you are trying to address bone density issues but when overdone it can have the opposite effect. Calcium supplementation increases gut PH (i.e., lowers gut acidity) which can interfere with vitamin and mineral (including calcium itself) absorption. Often, bone demineralization is not due to lack of calcium intake but to low gut acidity. This is why you will often see calcium supplement products paired with vitamin C (ascorbic acid). Drinking OJ or tomato juice along with the calcium supplement can help with this as they are acidic juices. Calcium supplementation can also contribute to plaque arterial buildup I believe. I think it might be best to focus on rich natural sources of calcium.
