I don't know of any places to eat, since I've never been there, but I would suggest you print out a card in French that says what you can't eat and why (unless of course you speak French and are confident you can make the wait staff understand your needs and communicate them to the chef). I'm under the impression that bread is a staple at every meal, and you might have a few problems with that.

Maybe someone who has been there has some good suggestions for you.

God bless,

i was there for 4 nights this summer and i had a pretty tough time to be honest. my concierge printed out gluten free information for me in french (which unfortunately for me also included casein for some reason, i don't have trouble with milk but whatever). we went to a restaurant called Scossa, address: 8 pl. Victor Hugo (i happen to have a matchbox so that's definitely the address!!) where i had a waiter who spoke perfect english and i had 2 really great gluten-free meals there.

even with the info printed out in french, and although this may ruin the french experience a little bit for you, i would recommend going places where they speak english really well (unless of course you speak french!) also if you're doing any tours, let them know ahead of time if there's food included.

The book Against the Grain by Jax Peters Lowell has a French language "wheat allergy/gluten intolerance" card in the back. If you don't have this book, you might be able to get a copy from your local library and could copy that page. It might help.

I hope you have a wonderful trip! :D

God bless,

I went to Paris several years ago with the French language card. I had no problems whatsoever. I ate many phenomenal meals and really enjoyed myself. Even the little bistros were fine -- I had some wonderful French onion soup (minus the bread but with the cheese) and did not feel restricted in the least. Have a great trip. Kim.

      Ichthus is the Greek word (using English letters) for fish. The letters in the actual Greek word form an acronym that come from the first letters in the Greek words for "Jesus", "God's Son," "Savior".   Now, back to your family's denial of your celiac disease, I think you can relate to this:

      Thanks for the kind words. It's hard to convince my doctor to investigate further because of a negative blood test and he only tested me for one marker. 🙃 I've come to the point where I need to take this into my own hands because the doctors are infuriating and it's not going anywhere. I've been gluten free for a week and feeling better but I was still consuming dairy and I think that's what's backing me up. Next week no dairy introduced.

      Hello mantooth nice to meet you it's so uncanny what you wrote you sound just like me even the back issues are exactly the same and I'm new here too trying to find out if I have the same had I too have been struggling to find answers with my docters I don't have a diagnosis but I've been struggling like forever and was told ibs and health aniexty was my problem but on researching I've come to the conclusion it's probably more because i cut gluten and lactose out for 6 months and  it was a incredible change for me so although I can't help with diagnosis I can say your not alone in trying  to find answers 😊
