Hi!

I am quite new to the board and to Celiac disease, but not new to France (well, to Paris to be more precise!)! I was just wondering if there are any other people over here in a similiar situation. If so, I'd love to hear from you!

Take care,

Rosey

Hi Rosey,

Welcome! There are a few members that list on the board from the Paris area. You could scroll through some of the old posts and there are a few topics about France and the Paris area.

I have lived in S. France for 2 years and found it challenging to deal with but managed with only a few incidents of gluttening - which I felt was not bad considering I moved here with no knowledge of the French language and as a newly diagnosed Celiac. I am moving back to the States this summer and looking forward to the conviences of eating out.

Hi Theresa!

Thanks for the reply.

You did very well indeed, if you couldn't speak French! People here don't seem to be very well-informed about Celiac disease at all, but at least companies are starting to indicate the presence of gluten on labels now!

Take care and enjoy those restaurants :D !!

Hi Rosey, I am not sure if you will get this message because this is my first time posting. I read your post about being familiar with Paris. I am studying abroad in Paris this semester and also have Celiac Disease. I was wondering if you have any advice or stores that you could give me for my stay in Paris. Thank you!

Hello Rosey, I'm a new user too and I am from Italy - in this case we are really close to each other!!!

I'll be in Paris at the end of January - quoting Sara: do you have any advise or tip about gluten free meal inParis?

Thanx!

Hello Paris people.. I also live in Paris.

I have found Naturalia and Bio Generation to have some gluten free products. I just recently figured out that i have a gluten intolerance, so I am not very skilled at the diet yet.

Hi!

I'm Australian, but will be spending some months in Paris towards the end of the year, and would love to know of some gluten-free-friendly places. ;)

I'll check out Naturalia and Bio Generation, but would love to know of some other stores, restaurants or cafes.

In return I can help anyone out about the Melbourne area in Australia, I know everywhere!

Thank you!

Hello all,

Another place that has gluten free products is Bio Markus. It's a chain and is unfortunately not in Paris - they are located only in the farther suburbs, so a car is a necessity. I only get to go (sometimes) if we are visiting my in-laws, who don't live too far (30 mins) from the one in the Seine et Marne.

Otherwise, I've found it to be really rough going living gluten-free here - and I'm bilingual in French and English.

      Going for upper endoscopy today

      Back home after the scope. Dr said as soon as he got in there it was clear signs of celiacs. Must be a decent amount of damage. I don’t remember the post procedure conversation as the anesthesia was still wearing off but that’s what my wife says anyway. Still the biopsy results to come back but pretty definitive and now I get to learn to live gluten fre...

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      There are several blogs where people test different beers using commercially available gluten testing kits. Guinness definitely tests positive for gluten. Something to be mindful of is that in some regions, foodstuffs containing less than 20 ppm gluten can be sold as 'gluten free'. However, due to the volume involved, a UK pint of beer at 19 ppm would contain...

      Going for upper endoscopy today

      First of all, I want to wish you the very best of luck with your procedure today. It's completely understandable to feel a mix of apprehension and hope. Your proactiveness in researching and advocating for that endoscopy was incredibly smart; securing that formal diagnosis is crucial for both insurance and long-term health management. While it's natural to...

      There are several blogs where people test different beers using commercially available gluten testing kits. Guinness definitely tests positive for gluten. Something to be mindful of is that in some regions, foodstuffs containing less than 20 ppm gluten can be sold as 'gluten free'. However, due to the volume involved, a UK pint of beer at 19 ppm would contain more gluten than the generally accepted as safe daily limit of 10 mg. I have seen gluten-free beers testing at between "undetectable" and 5-10 ppm. I have also seen a report of a positive home test on Daura Damm, which is sold as gluten-free beer - the manufacturer did not respond to the tester's query.

      First of all, I want to wish you the very best of luck with your procedure today. It's completely understandable to feel a mix of apprehension and hope. Your proactiveness in researching and advocating for that endoscopy was incredibly smart; securing that formal diagnosis is crucial for both insurance and long-term health management. While it's natural to worry that those five gluten-free days could affect the results, your logic is spot-on—it's highly unlikely your intestines healed completely in that short time, and the fact that your joint pain and stomach issues have flared back up aggressively after reintroducing gluten is a very strong, and unfortunate, sign that the inflammation is indeed present and active. It's also very common for people to look back and connect dots, like your lifelong migraines, once a potential celiac diagnosis is on the table, as it's a systemic condition with many non-gastrointestinal symptoms. I truly hope this scope provides the clear answers you need to finally start on the right path to managing your health and finding lasting relief from the fatigue and pain. Safe travels for your drive, and here's hoping for a definitive answer and a brighter, healthier chapter ahead.
