<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hi All- did not think that this needed a summary, but there were a few things that came up that I would like to address. First of all, I was just giving a report of what happened to me physically with the memory of some discussion taking place on here about CD, sinus and teeth and this still being an area where I'm trying to make some decisions, I was hoping for some feedback in this area and I did get some. Secondly, I did not even bother to find out stuff about being gf in Italy because I have no problem eating there and did not until the last day when I was confined to a hotel waiting for the next flight and this incredible looking hamburger appeared (I never eat hamburger as a rule) I weakened and against my better judgement and assurances by the staff- I ate part of it and ate enough to convince myself that there was flour in it! (Stupid me) To the person who thought I was being somewhat polemic- I apologise for that perception of yours and was not intending that- my main surprise and the reason for asking the question is that if all children are tested before school and most people have children - how come nobody I had contact with except at the pharmacy knew about gluten problems. I just wanted to make sure that this fact that I spread was in fact true. People assured me that it is. For any of those people who may of thought I was critical of Italy I wish to assure that is not so- most large cities in the world are very polluted and I live in a small town which has incredible air pollution- I think the food in Italy taste much better than anything over here and would love to go to Italy just to eat even though I have to watch for gluten, it is easier to do that there than most places--Thanks Donna
