Gluten-free Glastonbury?

[joshii87]

Hi all,

I consider myself a Glastonbury veteran (13, 14, 15!), but in the summer of last year I suddenly became very sick and was diagnosed with Coeliac disease. I can no longer eat products containing gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley or rye.

Is gluten-free eating possible at Glastonbury? Part of the spectacle is finding new (and also thrifty) culinary items to explore, and I'd be annoyed if I had to miss out. I had only £50 to spend for the whole week in 2013 so made good use of the amazing free grub at Hari Krishna's.

There may already be a thread on this but I am completely clueless as to how to live like this, and it will be my first festival experience post-diagnosis!

Thanks.

Loads of options - my wife is intolerant (of many things  ) not coeliiac, but even so, she finds loads to eat. If you're on Twitter there is a Gluten Free Glastonbury acccount thats pretty good.

Hey there mate.

Wife (12th Glastonbury this year) is also coeliac. Marked improvement in recent years. In 2004 it was baked spuds for a week.

Here's last years thread with some added info.

Pretty sure the Goan Fish Curry stall is all gluten-free? Also happens to be the best food one site...

Yes, usually reflected by the massive queue. Worth the wait though.

There's a place just off from the Other Stage towards the Glade area, little silver metal pod looking thing (only small and can't remember the name) they sold some absolutely AMAZING food last year, all one pot stuff, pretty sure it's gluten free
