My family is coming for a visit in a couple of weeks. One of them needs to have gluten free food. Where can I find what they'll need?

Most of the bigger supermarkets stock gluten free foods now. The choice may not be massive but I'm sure you'll find enough to survive.

Hi Mike,

don't worry too much about this - my daughter has the same problem.

All real food, meat, fish, fruit, veg etc are totally gluten free, most drinks are (except whisky and other grain distilled spirits).

The only no-no's are bread, pasta, some breakfast cerials, and many pre-processed foods (sauces, ketchup, ready meals - many use flour/gluten as a stabiliser / thickener hence the problem)

These are really the only items you have to watch out for.

Eat real food and make your own fresh creamy / herby/tomato based sauces and your guest shouldn't have any problems

But for those little treats, cakes etc Continente and Intermarche amongst other do have a good range of gluten free products

Bom appetito

Steve

Thanks guys - I've been really worried about it and you've made it much easier.

Continente has a large selection of gluten free in their health food aisle - near pre packaged organics.
