Gluten-Free Restaurants Barcelona - Restaurants in Barcelona for Celiacs

Gluten-Free Menu

If you are looking for gluten-free restaurants in Barcelona, you are in the right place. Celiac patients must follow a very special diet program. This condition, which recurs very sensitively, can be triggered if you deviate from the diet program. In short, what is celiac disease? Celiac disease is a chronic allergy, or sensitivity, to the protein gluten (lifelong). Gluten is found in cereals such as wheat, barley, rye, and oats.

Special Menu for Celiac Patients

In celiac disease, the food consumed is broken down into components in the small intestine and absorbed into the bloodstream from the intestinal mucosa. Bread, pasta, biscuits, and other flour products contain gluten. Our body's ability to get enough food is provided by the villi projections in the small intestine. In celiac patients, when gluten-containing foods are consumed, the villi folds in the intestinal mucosa are damaged and reduced due to the celiac allergy. Thus, as the intestinal volume gradually decreases, the absorption of consumed foods stops. In short, since celiac disease leads to impaired digestion and absorption of nutrients in the intestines, celiac patients cannot consume wheat, barley, rye, and oats. But when you come to the Pandan restaurant in Barcelona, you can find countless delicious menus specially prepared for celiac patients, free of gluten protein. Gluten protein, which causes inflammation and damage with immunological reactions in celiacs, causing diarrhea, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, irritability, drowsiness, and behavioral disorders, is not included in the special menus offered at Pandan restaurant. Pandan restaurant is a boutique establishment located in Barcelona that creates unique mixed flavors with Vietnamese cuisine. Especially the food and drinks made with the healthy pandan plant, and the vegetable and seafood rolls made from special rice paste are among the healthy menus recommended for celiac patients.
