Gluten and me

[wyvernfriend]

Gluten is a fun thing, I mean it should be so easy to avoid? Right? Just don't eat things like bread and you'll be fine, right

I know a friend of mine found restaurants in Spain very helpful she manage to get a card that explains in Spanish that she's coeliac and while she was staying at a resort full board (wasn't a very fancy place or anything) they sent out a chef to her everyday to see what she wanted and he prepped her food start to finish to ensure no cross contamination. Methinks the card must have been this http://www.coeliac.ie/gf_living/travelling - she also said the range and price of coeliac food in Spain was awesome and brought home loads of stuff - maybe a choice for a holiday at some point

I want to visit spain some day and I've heard good things about staying there, Italy too apparently, though you wouldn't really think it!

Also meant to add being Coeliac doth suck ...

At least on the west coast of the United States, most grocery stores have entire aisles devoted to gluten free products. I wish you had that in Ireland!

I can get food, it's just the loss of spontaneous and trying out the new that I miss

[lucretiasheart]

Yeah, that makes sense.

I was at communion in Ely Cathedral last autumn. They said on the hymnsheet that they offer gluten-free communion bread. Which I thought was cool. Would be nice if everyone was that aware.

Apparently the pope has ruled that that's not proper communion!
