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,

Mariann

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.

      Pathology results - coeliac positive?

      By Tazzy11 · Posted

      Thanks so much for replying!  No I haven't been limiting gluten prior to this test, I didn't know the Dr even tested for it until I got my results. These were the only celiac related pathology that was tested for. I am seeing my Dr on Monday so hopefully she can shed some more light!

      By Sergiu2020 · Posted

      Thanks a lot! I will search that too. I also talked to another doctor and she assured me there is no gluten in this type of antibiotics. Anyway i started the administration of Augmentin on my girl this evening. I hope there will be no problems.

      Brasswell marmalade and jellies are gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Good afternoon, I don’t know if anyone here has ever tried Braswell’s products like their marmalades or jellies? Are they gluten-free? On the ingredients says “cane sugar, cherries (cherries, cane sugar), strawberries, corn syrup, pectin and citric acid. That ingredient list is from their berry preserve bottle. Most of them say the same for ingredients, but I’m not sure if it is okay to consume.

      I have seen this problem many times. I always get in touch with the company. Most times they tell me if I'm just gluten free it is ok, but do not eat it if you are celiac. Calling the company is the best way when you are not sure. Yesterday I had a different example of products being marked gluten-free.  I love chocolate and have a piece each day. The chocolate bar I like is Chocolove. When I bought one this week it was not marked gluten-free. I called the company to find out why and if it was still gluten-free.  Turns out the manufacturer decided there was too much on the wrapper and took off the gluten-free label. It is made in a dedicated gluten-free facility.
