Anyone In East Africa? And, Where Can I Buy French-language Cookbooks?

Hello! I'm new to the forum. I've been poking around looking for information to help me with my move to Bujumbura, Burundi, in East Africa. I'll be stocking up on all my favorite baking mixes and cookies and crackers. But I'm wondering what local foods might be okay for me, if any (besides your basic fruits and veggies). I know not all the baking there is done with wheat flour, but I can't really pin down what other flours might be used. I also have no idea what the grocery stores may have as far as European imports that might be okay. Has anyone been to Bujumbura, or even Kenya, Rwanda, or Tanzania?

Also, does anyone know of an English-language website where I can order French-language gluten-free cookbooks? Everyone we know in Bujumbura has a cook/housekeeper that speaks French and they've recommended getting cookbooks in French. (But we don't know any other celiacs there, so no one can really help me on the gluten-free foods question.) I poked around Amazon Canada but haven't had any luck yet.

Thanks!

I went to Amazon France and Canada and searched for "sans gluten' and found these listings:

"Sans" gluten, of course! My brain's not quite in French mode yet. Thank you very much!

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.

      Lymph nodes

      By Soleihey · Posted

      Has anyone experimenced enlarged lymph nodes with celiac? Both in the neck and groin area. Imaging of both areas have said that lymph nodes are reactive in nature. However, they have been present for months and just wondering how long this may take to go down. Been gluten-free for about two months. Blood counts are normal.

      Hmm interesting I just assumed that any “IGA” tests including the DPG iga would be negative in a person who is IGA deficient but maybe that is not the case for the DPG test.

      If you were just diagnosed I can say that if you go 100% gluten-free should should see dramatic improvement of your symptoms over the next few months, but the hard part is to stay gluten-free. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
