Celiac disease
Celiac disease is a chronic disease autoimmune whose only treatment is a gluten-free diet for lifetime. Many of the people are diagnosed in their adulthood, in fact, it is between 4 and 6 times more common in adults than in children. Therefore, people's way of life changes drastically when they begin to live with the disease.
First of all, you can't eat in just any bar or restaurant. It is not asking for dishes that are gluten-free and that's it. It is to ask for dishes that do not contain gluten and that have also been prepared with fully sanitized kitchen utensils or only used for cooking and handling gluten-free food. On the contrary, the food will be contaminated and the health of the celiac person will be at risk, even if you have eaten gluten-free foods. Be careful, it is not so easy to find restaurants that convey confidence and that are certificates. And the fact is that most of them are in the big cities ...

Another of the great transformations in the life of celiacs is the spending on food. There are foods that are gluten-free by themselves, but others must be made specifically to fulfill this characteristic. And, they are quite a bit more expensive. The clearest example is pan. At Carrefour el Gluten-free bread of the supermarket brand has a cost of 2,59 euros. Meanwhile, the gluten-free bread of the same brand costs 0,93 euros. An abysmal difference. The data is clear. According FACE (Federation of Celiac Associations in Spain) the basket of a celiac is 1.300 euros more expensive than that of a family without celiacs.
