What is the big deal with gluten?

If you’ve been to a restaurant in the last few years, you’ve probably seen the words “gluten-free” written or displayed every here and there… But what exactly is gluten? Did you wonder why some people can’t digest it? And why does it  seem to be such a big problem recently?

Is it possible to travel with coeliac disease?

 

Sure, it is! There are tons of amazing places you should visit: The Netherlands, France, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal… And my absolute favourite – Italy! Although, it is not always a piece of cake to find a trusted place where you can dine, there are some helpful tips you should keep in mind.

The very first is to double-check each place: you’ve heard the restaurant serves gluten-free food, great! But remember to also verify that information and ask a waiter before you order.

You’ve alredy ordered? Fine, but ask the waiter what ingredients were used to prepare your meal before you start to dig in. And always, always, always read the reviews – it’s very likely that there are other people suffering from gluten intolerance just like you, who had happened to visit this place just before you did. Maybe they had something interesting to share?

Here you can find some of the places I’ve visited recently,

hope you’ll find my list useful!
