Actress Isis Valverde warns of gluten contamination after illness

Brazilian actress Isis Valverde disclosed that she became severely ill after eating a meal she believes was contaminated with gluten, a substance that triggers celiac disease. In a series of social‑media videos she described symptoms such as nausea and abdominal pain, attributing them to possible cross‑contamination at the restaurant. Valverde used the incident to call on food‑service establishments to adopt stricter safeguards for customers with dietary restrictions, emphasizing the challenges faced by people with celiac disease when dining out. She also noted a positive moment during her trip, finding a shop at the airport that offered a wide range of certified gluten‑free products, which she said provided relief and hope for others with the condition.
