Anyoe here from the German speaking part of Switzerland? I'm an American living in Zurich, and my German isn't so good, so I'd love any pointers on ingredients. I know all the major grain names, but some of the little additives are a bit tricky--for example I was eating hydrogenated oil here for months because I had translated it wrong. I also don't know the labeling laws very well--seems to be optional to say if something has allergic stuff or possible cross contamination.

Hi!

I do not live in Zurich but I was hoping to get a little advice! I will be going to Zurich next weekend for a few nights and was wondering if you have any suggestions of places to eat or buy food.

Thank you! Any advice will help!

Enjoy your day.

I'm not sure about gluten-free dining--I just went gluten-free last week and haven't even considered eating out. All the health food stores carry gluten-free foods--there are two big chains, the Mueller Reformhaus and the Egli stores. There is an Egli in the shopping mall part of the main train station (underneath the ground floor). Luckily gluten free is "gluten-frei" (rhymes with fry) in German.

      Yes, wheat is common in most soy sauces now because it speeds up the fermenting process.

      For 16 years I have relied on the website glutenfreedrugs.com to determine if a pharmaceutical is gluten-free. The website has been down for at least a week. Does anyone have any information about this outage, the status of the website founder and maintainer pharmacist Steven A. Plogsted or a phone number? I did not get a response for my email to glutenfreedrugs@gmail.com in October of 2022. Steven did respond to my emails in 2012. Thanks.

      Sounds like you are in the UK. With blood numbers that high, I thought docs in UK would give an official diagnosis without the biopsy. You should ask about that, so you can get support faster.  I'd try to find and print out anything that supports that in your country, get another appointment and take all of it with you. Even in the US now, some docs are doing this, my 19 year old step granddaughter got an official diagnosis here in US with just blood results a few months ago.

      Is soy sauce in Korea also made from wheat like it usually is in US? I'd be concerned that even if asking about gluten, they would not be aware of or think of some like that.
