The husband and I are taking a trip to Paris soon. Are there any recommendations for us to try?

Helmut Newcake and Noglu are on our list. Anything else?

Also does anyone know the business hours for Helmut Newcake?

I haven't been to any of these, just planning for a future trip, but these are all supposed to be gluten free. Most have Facebook pages in addition to websites - sometimes the weekly menu is on the Facebook page.

Thank You, My Deer

Biosphere Cafe

Yummy and Guilt Free

Please tell us about any that you try!

My wife and I took a trip to Paris 3 or 4 years ago and found it quite difficult. The language barrier was a problem at times. I forgot my card that I was going to take with me to show waiters at the restaurant that explained my gluten free needs in French. It was difficult at times to get them to understand what gluten free was. Some thought I was asking for free food. London was much easier. Maybe things have gotten better since I was there. I would suggest getting the flash cards in different languages that explains your gluten free needs if you don't speak french.

Thank you all for being so helpful. I had a great time during my trip. The places that I tried were the following:

- Helmut NewCake - Delicious pastries and brunch. BEST gluten free eclairs. You will find classic french pastries here.

- Noglu - A must try for both lunch and dinner.

- Thank you my deer - Delicious sandwiches and muffins.

- Pierre Sang - Not a gluten free restaurant but they understood my issue and were very helpful (I brought a celiac card and they spoke English)

- Eric Kayser - They are not gluten free but have gluten free bread. At the time I went it was made in a separate area and double packaged to protect against cross contamination.

- Biosphere Cafe - Buckwheat crepes and gluten free pastries.

Additionally I stayed at the Grand Hotel du Palais Royal and they had gluten free croissants for breakfast. They buy them frozen and after I asked them to heat them up separately and avoid cross contamination I had no issues.

Thank you for your post-trip reply! Good to hear that you had a great gluten free time.

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      Interestingly, this thought occurred to me last night. I did find that there are studies investigating whether vitamin D deficiency can actually trigger celiac disease.  Source: National Institutes of Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231074/

      Before being diagnosed coeliac I used to love Guinness. Being made from barley it should be something a coeliac shouldn’t drink. But taking to another coeliac and they can drink it with no ill effects and have heard of others who can drink it too.  is this everyone’s experience?  Can I drink it?  I get dermatitis herpetiformis and don’t get instant reactions to gluten so can’t try it to see for myself.

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.
