Going To Paris - Need Your Best Tips

I know it should be relatively easy there - not sure yet if I'll have a kitchenette, but I hope so.  Probably staying near Republique or in Le Marais.  I'm going for some family business, so I won't be on my own much, and it's not a situation where I can ask people to cook special for me.

 

It will be my first time there since my dx and it will be so hard to resist the eclairs!

 

Most concerned about breakfast options, I guess.

 

Thanks!

Hi Nikki....I cannot help you very much as I have never been to France BUT I thought you should see this.......Open Original Shared Link  It almost seems worth the price of a plane ticket alone.   ;)   Maybe you can find those eclairs there.  If you do, please let us know what it was like.  I hope you have a great time!

If you find and eat gluten free French bread... please come back and tell us everything... so I can drool all over my keyboard. My sister (who lives there) tells me that gluten-free eating/cooking/products are showing up everywhere.

Paris is relatively easy compared to North America I find.  Try the macaons, too (not macaroons).  We stumbled across a few wondrous bakery treats and fabulous Parisian restaurants.  We did breakfasts on our own (groceries and markets).  I second David Lebowitz's blog.  He has excellent suggestions, including where to find those unctuous eclairs!  You will have an amazing time.

I found the Italian version of this book helpful.  A helpful and thorough blog particular to Paris may be all you need, though.

      I would ask for a total IGA test (aka, Immunoglobulin A (IgA) and other names as well) to check for IGA deficiency. That test should always be ordered along with the TTG IGA. If someone is IGA deficient, their individual celiac IGA test scores will be artificially low which can result in false negatives. Make sure you are eating generous amounts of gluten leading up to any testing or diagnostic procedure for celiac disease to ensure validity of the results. 10g of gluten daily for a period of at least 2 weeks is what current guidelines are recommending. That's the amount of gluten found in about 4-6 slices of wheat bread.

      There was not a total IGA test done, those were the only two ordered. I would say I was consuming a normal amount of gluten, I am not a huge bread or baked goods eater

      Were you consuming generous amounts of gluten in the weeks leading up to the blood draw for the antibody testing? And was there a Total IGA test done to test for IGA deficiency?

      Thank you for the reply. It was the TTG IGA that was within normal limits

      Welcome to the forum, @jlp1999! Which IGA test do you refer to as being normal? TTG-IGA? Total IGA? DGP-IGA? Yes, any positive on an IGA or an IGG test can be due to something other than celiac disease and this is especially true of weak positives. Villous atrophy can also be cause by other things besides celiac disease such as some medications, parasitic infections and even some foods (especially dairy from an intolerance to the dairy protein casein). But the likelihood of that being the case is much less than it being caused by celiac disease.
