I'm going to Cyprus in June.
First time for me, second time for my wife.
I need a wee bit of help from you local guys.
My youngest son has got Celiac Deciece (Gluten intollerance).
Does anyone of you know if it is at all possible to purchase Gluten free products there?
Reason I'm asking is I need to know wether to bring special food or if I can buy it there.
Any help will be much appritiated!
(Edit: A coupple of spelling errors)

Thanks for adding the link Masseur. 
@Bjerkers
Yes, wheat is a problem but rye, barley, and oats are all to be excluded in a "Gluten-free" diet.
Imagine all the food that actually contains wheat in one way or another. 
My reasons for this topic (as I said earlier) is basically to try to find out wether we need an extra suitcase suitcase or not.

i live in Cyprus but i don't know if there is available the exact product you are asking. The only thing i can do for you is to tell you a tel.no of a pharmacy in nicosia and you can call and ask for yourself.
