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.

      Trying to read my lab results

      Hi Scott, yes I have had symptoms for years and this is the second GI I have seen and he could not believe I have never been tested. He called later today and I am scheduled for an endoscopy. Is there a way to tell how severe my potential celiac is from the results above? What are the chances I will have the biopsy and come back negative and we have to keep...

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      I agree christina, there is definitely many contributing factors! I have the pain today, my pelvis, hips and thighs ache! No idea why. But i have been sitting at work for 3 days so im thinking its my back. This disease is very mysterious (and frustrating) but not always to blame for every pain.

      Why?

      "her stool study showed she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that." The wording of this part of the sentence does not make any sense at all. I don't mean to insult you, but is English your first language? This part of the sentence sounds like it was generated by translation software.

      Why?

      What kind of stool test was done? Can you be more specific?

      Why?

      Perhaps I should also have said that in addition to showing a very high response to gluten, her stool study showed that she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that.
