Hi
My wife has recently been classified as Gluten intolerant (she has terrible abdominal pains which can last for hours if she eats any)
We are planning to go to Northern Spain in September and welcome any tips you might have for us (self catering or/and eating out)
i.e.
Are there keywords we should recognise on menus and ingredients. Are allergens highlighted in bold as they are in the U.K.
I have found the Spanish for wheat, rye, and barley but not gluten or gluten free. Does the Catalan language use the same words?
Is there a phrase for "free from" products and are there freefrom ranges in local supermarkets etc.
I suspect we will mainly be self catering unless we can safely identify gluten free menus.
So many questions to ask.
And grateful for any information especially from like sufferers
Thanks, in anticipation
