Joan, here’s an excerpt of a post in GringoTree (gringotree@cuencahighlife.com) that I’m sure you’ll find helpful:
Gluten Free Meeting
If you seek to live a life free of wheat/barley/rye, there is a group in Cuenca which offers helpful support: the Cuenca Gluten Free User’s Group (or Cuenca GFUG for short).
Gluten sensitivity causes a variety of unpleasant symptoms which become life threatening for those with Celiac disease. Many people go undiagnosed for years. A simple way to address the issues is to eliminate all wheat, barley and rye from your diet. In the US there are many alternative products but it takes a little creativity in Ecuador. There is lots of positive energy as people share about resources and solutions.
