Stuck for resources?

NCF (Norsk Cøliakiforening) is the Norwegian Coeliac disease society and have many helpful tips, advice and resources on their website. Most of it is in Norwegian but here are some useful links they provide for people with or learning about coeliac disease:


Tips and advice chat ("Nettprat"

NCF have created an online service called "Nettprat" which means Internet talk. Here you can ask questions to their expert who is online to answer any questions you may have about coeliac disease, DH (Dermatitis herpetiformis),  non-coeliac gluten sensitivity and wheat allergy.

NCF's recommended eating-out places ("Anbefalte glutenfrie spisesteder")

NCF have compiled a list and a map of the best places they recommend you to go and eat if you have coeliac disease. 
  1. Under the subtitle "Filter", it says "Kart" which means map and it will show you a map of all of the places they recommend, or "Liste" which is a list over the names of places they recommend. Choose which option you wish and it will display them.
  2. Under "Type", you can choose what type of place you wish to eat at
    1. "Bakeri/kafĂ©" is bakeries or cafes
    2. "Restaurant/bar" is restaurants or bars
    3. The other three options are names of brands they recommend: McDonald's, Peppe's Pizza and various hotels they recommend
  3. "Fylke" means "county", so you can select which county you are in or are going to and it will show a list or a map of the best places to eat there.
I would really recommend this resource for all people as it shows different types of places:

Yearly product recommendations ("Oversikt over produkter")

This resource is great!!!!! It provides a pdf of the best food products they recommend from last year as a guide for what you can use for this year. In my experience, you will find with allergies that some products are fab and others are awful, so this pdf guide is great for telling you which ones are worth using. There's nothing worse than making a pizza base from a bought-packet mix and finding out it tastes bad! This resource tells you ALL THE BEST ONES TO BUY so you don't have to agonize yourself with a trial-and-fail method.
