gluten free Ecuador?

14 years ago

Here's a topic I'm expecting not to get a lot of responses about, but I thought I'd try. Lots of you have been wonderful about answering my questions about moving here.

I will be moving to Guayaquil in spring or summer and I am gluten intolerant.

Just wondering if there's an off-chance anyone has ever seen gluten free baking products or noodles in any health food stores in Ecuador? I'm fully expecting that no one has.

One thing I do love about the country is that there are many things I can eat that we don't have here that are great substitutes for bread such as Pan de Yuca (best thing I think I've ever tried) and platano verde in all of its forms.

Sometimes though, a girl wants a chocolate chip cookie, a pancake or some pasta. :)

Thanks all!
