Hello all!

Im going to Iceland for the first time in April and will be staying a couple of days in Reykjavik before heading on to Sweden. Have any of you gluten-free-ers ever been to Reykjavik? Anyone know what to look for in the grocery stores as far as gluten free. I am thinking they will have a lot of stuff similar to the Scandinavian countries. But any input would be sooooo appreciated! Thank you!

Haleym, I have been on Iceland several times. You want to visit the health food stores in Reykjavik (there are several) for gluten-free Wasa crackers, breads, cookies, etc. These stores sell Dr. Schar products as well. The nice thing about Iceland is you will find the gluten free items in a gluten-free section of the health food stores. I never had a problem eating in Iceland. The food is fresh, particularly if you love fish or lamb. I took an Icelandic restaurant card that a native Icelander made for me and emailed me. I no longer have the card, but I contacted the Icelandic Celiac Society because it was there that they gave me the emaill address of someone who helped me.

If you can squeeze in the time, make an excursion by bus to the Blue Lagoon Open Original Shared Link If you go to the Blue Lagoon (you MUST go) there is a motel/restaurant next door called The Northern Light Inn, Open Original Shared Link Christiana runs it, and she was wonderful. Anything she cooks is fabulous, and I recommend you bath in the Blue Lagoon in the afternoon, then have them call Christiana for a free shuttle to her motel up the road. I feel so pampered when I do this.

Hope you have a great time!

I've also been to Iceland twice and will be going again at the end of this month. However, I just got diagnosed with celiac disease a month ago, so I wasn't on this diet the last 2 times I went. I'll also be going to Finland (my 2nd time) and Estonia. I'll be staying in Reykjavik mainly.

      Shortness Of Breath (the "sighs")?

      By DayaInTheSun · Posted

      I had shortness of breath so much so I went to a lung doctor. I told him I get short of breath wirh certain foods, he said “Food doesn’t affect hour breathing.” I told him maybe it was an allergy  he cut me off then said “Food allergies don’t cause shortness of breathe.” I beg to differ as soon as I figured out what foods were causing my shortness of breath it went away. I also never saw him again as he was rude, condescending? And refuse to listen to me kept dismissing my problems as “you’re young.” I cut out Soy, dairy, sesame, eggs, and of course gluten. I stopped being short of breath, going on a two years now. No thanks to the doctor I saw. Figured it out on my own.

      Pathology results - coeliac positive?

      By trents · Posted

      I would suggest you ask your doctor to order a "total IGA" test to check for IGA deficiency.

      Nightmares

      By Femke · Posted

      I did a gluten challenge. I ate bread yesterday. I immediately felt horrid. Depressed, fearful, angry.  I also had the weirdest night terrors and "day terrors" (delusions). They were do awful, that I am still terrified. How do gluten impact your dreams?

      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!
