May is Coeliac Awareness Month, I just spotted an article in the Irish Independent saying around 78,000 people in Ireland have coeliac disease but are undiagnosed, which is a fair bit for a small enough country. So it’s really important to keep spreading awareness. Because it’s a genetic disease, it’s important to get tested especially if a first degree relative has it.

Please share this post and spread awareness to encourage others to learn about Coeliac Disease.

Delighted to get back to Lisbon again for a few days last week. Some more great gluten free eats to add to Lisbon’s GF checklist…

Save for your next trip ā¤ļø

šŸ”¹Rice Me Deli - 100% Gluten Free

I had to check out the gluten free cafe in Lisbon, I missed it the first time around and it was worth the wait. Had a delicious ham and cheese pastry and of course the pastel de nata. Pastel de nata is a Portuguese egg custard tart pastry and it is delicious.

šŸ”¹Maria LimĆ£o

This is a fantastic brunch place in Lisbon, really enjoyed the buckwheat crepes. I got the ā€œBenedictā€ crepe. It was so tasty, light and crispy and the hollandaise sauce was delicious.

šŸ”¹Craft Burgers

The burger comes without a bun but you don’t need it because you get a decent side of fries.

šŸ”¹Totale Pizzapt
This pizza place was unreal even had multiple gluten free bases to choose from, such a treat for Coeliacs! I choose the rice and charcoal base pizza with my usual Diavola type of toppings. The base was so thin and light and crispy, it was honestly amazing to see what can be achieved with gluten free limitations.

šŸ”¹Bali Do Cais

I tried the chicken skewers for starters and then the pork ribs for the main.

šŸ”¹Murals Catina Mexicana
Lovely Mexican restaurant in the heart of Lisbon with gluten free options like tacos, fajitas and nachos.Ā I had the beef tacos and they were delicious, came with beans and rice. We also had some nachos and guacamole for starters too which was very tasty.Ā 

šŸ”¹Grom

Gluten Free ice cream with cone is essential for any trip

šŸ”¹Confraria Lxsushi
Lots of the sushi was gluten free or could be made gluten free.

šŸ”¹Restaurante Rio Grande

I went back to the Rio Grande restaurant for the second time as the fish is so good here.

šŸ”¹ Soi Asian

Not too many gluten free options on the menu except Pad Thai and a curry can be made gluten free, but the Pad Thai was really delicious. If you are a fan of pad thai, it would be worth checking these out.

It is tough to pick the best gluten free burger in Galway! Here are 5 great options to choose from…

Let me know if you have anymore to add to the list?? šŸ˜‹
Ā 
šŸ”¶Handsome Burger
I love handsome burger, the beef burger is so delicious. Really quality fresh ingredients. I’ve tried the regular burger and the smash burger, both unreal. The only downside is that they charge an extra €2.50 for the gluten free bun (but in fairness it is quality and looks as good as the normal bun). They do have separate fryers also and the chips are amazing.Ā 
Ā 
šŸ”¶SmashbirdĀ 
The buttermilk chicken burger was amazing the first time I went in here. I had to come back and try the smash burger and it did not dissapoint.Ā 
Ā 
šŸ”¶Menlo Park Hotel
Menu has loads of gluten free including an unreal burger and gluten free bun.
Ā 
šŸ”¶Donnellys Barna
A little outside Galway City is Barna and the pub O’Donnellys does a lovely gluten free burger
Ā 
šŸ”¶Burger Story
This was a pretty decent gluten free burger and chips in Galway. Located near the Spanish arch, it’s worth a visit. Gluten free bun costs an extra €2.

Got around to some baking over the summer with the scone and pastry mixes from kindly sent me 🄰

Definitely the best gluten free scone mix I’ve come across so far. Not at all gritty texture like some other ones. Really lovely and the gluten eaters loved them too ā˜ŗļø

Made a quiche with the savoury mix and it turned out great, really tasty. There was some leftover pastry for a few jam tarts too.

One of the things I hear so much is… ā€œI want to get tested for Coeliac but I don’t want to eat gluten because it’s making me sickā€.. Hopefully this new research will be available soon šŸ¤ž

New clinical research published in the high-impact journal Gastroenterology shows a game-changerĀ blood test for gluten-specific T-cells can detect coeliac disease, even when no gluten has been eaten. Reliable diagnosis for coeliac disease is currently possible only when gluten is consumed regularly

Currently: one of the most accurate tests currently used to assess coeliac disease is the anti-endomysial antibody test, with 98% sensitivity and 98% specificity.

This new test: They found the test detected the condition with up to 90% sensitivity and 97% specificity – even in patients following a strict gluten-free diet

Hopefully this will become global soon as it will be a serious game changer for people.

I was lucky with my diagnosis as it was very quick but for a lot of people it can take many years.

Popped into SuperValu in Barna there today and they have so much gluten free, lots of new stuff too. I haven’t tried any of the SuperValu own brand stuff yet like the pizza, pasta and cookies.. anyone tried them?

The Rummo pasta is all on sale which it the best gluten free pasta I have tried so far šŸ™Œ Also that gluten free soda bread is great šŸ˜‹

The amount of gluten free stickers is lovely to see on the meats section šŸ˜ .. i always have a supply of the turkey burgers in the fridge.

I can’t wait to try these crispy onions and tiger bread ā˜ŗļø
