Hi all

I am off on my second os trip since being diagnosed this time for stop overs in KH, and time in UK, France and Italy. I've done lots of research already about the issues in each of these and have found the CS websites in France and Italy. What I am hoping for is names of specific places to eat especially in Hong Kong (we'll be at Kowloon) and any others that people know elsewhere.

many thanks

Leonie

Hi Leonie,

A quick reply re the UK - the two chain companies that are easiest to find are Wetherspoons (pubs - of varying salubriousness) and La Tasca (Spanish restaurants). Both companies list gluten-free options as part of their main menu. If you're in London, Leon restaurants also do this and are really good.If you're on Facebook, there's a group called Gluten Free Guerillas which has further information, especially about London.

Also, food labelling in supermarkets is pretty good, especially at Sainsbury's.

Hope this is helpful. Have a great time!

I just got back from Paris and I found this great little gluten free restaurant in Montmartre called Des Si et Des Mets. The staff don't speak any English but since the entire place is gluten free it isn't an issue. You can have a three course meal for a pretty reasonable price.

It was just fantastic to actually be able to eat proper French cuisine instead of having to compromise and ending up with a salad or something (which is what happened on the rest of my trip). THey even have gluten free beer. It is well worth checking out.

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @K6315! Gluten withdrawal typically lasts for a period of a few weeks. But there is a real learning curve involved in actually attaining to a gluten free dietary state. Much more is involved than just cutting out major sources of gluten such as bread and pasta. It's all the places that gluten is hidden in the food supply that is difficult to ferret out, like soy sauce and canned tomato soup, canned chili and canned pork n' beans, some "lite" pancake syrups, potato salad, flavorings, etc., etc. Gluten-containing grain products are hidden through alternate terminology and found in places you would never expect.  There is also "cross contamination" where naturally gluten free foods come into contact with gluten-containing grains during farming, transportation, storage and manufacturing processes. Then there is the issue of "cross reactivity" whereby you may be having gluten-like reaction to food proteins whose structure is similar to gluten. Chief among these are dairy, oats (even gluten-free oats), soy, corn and eggs. I am including this article that you might find helpful:

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By K6315 · Posted

      Prior to being diagnosed, I had a gluten heavy diet. I stopped all gluten exactly a week ago and have continued to feel sick in the ways I did prior to going gluten free - primarily on and off nausea, brain fog, and fatigue. Wondering if this is normal and, if so, how long can I expect to feel this way?

      Gluten Free Daily Vitamins for Kids w/ Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Some of the largest contract manufacturers in the U.S. include companies like NutraScience Labs, Capsugel (part of Lonza), and Thorne Research. These companies produce supplements for a wide range of brands, from small startups to well-known names.

      Thank you for your feed back and knowledge.  Scott do you know the names of the BIG manufactures who produce most supplements?  Love to research them all and decide on their principles and manufacturing certifications who I want to spend my dollars with if they provide other non private label supplements that are good.

      I haven't heard of them before, but a significant portion of dietary supplements are produced by a handful of large contract manufacturers. These companies have the facilities, expertise, and certifications to produce supplements at scale, making them attractive partners for brands that don’t have their own manufacturing capabilities. I doubt Forvia manufactures them directly, so it is hard to know if they are just doing clever marketing to a certain malabsorption crowd, or they actually have unique product.
