Hi!

I'm sorry if I start this discussion in the wrong place but the point is that I can't read greek..

I'm wondering if there is someone on this forum who is a coeliak (and therefor can't eat gluten) and is studying/living on Lesvos or Syros, as I'm going to study there for half a year.
I like to know if it is hard to find food I can eat..

Thank you,

Josje

Dear Josje, Greek cuisine includes a lot of fresh vegetables and many dishes with legumes and lean meat as well as fish. You should as always pay attention to packed foods and check for the gluten free indication. Mediterranean cuisine, at least as it used to be, traditionally mostly contains little gluten or none.

I think that you have to be careful with the ingredients of bread, just because flour as you may already know, is highly suspicious for gluten residues. Also you should not trust delicatessen food of unknown origin.

I would suggest you do your food shopping in a reliable super market brand and always check the ingredients. I suppose you will be fine, you dont have to worry
