Paris, Stuttgart, Zurich, And Other Regional Cities

We're spending two weeks on the train bumming around France, Germany, and Switzerland. We've traveled through Europe before, but not to these specific cities. Can anyone recommend anything tasty to check out? We'll probably hit up Frankfurt, Germany, and Lausanne, Switzerland, as well.

I'm checking out some links from a previous post about Paris. I'm practically drooling on my keyboard, and anxious to hit the road.

Thanks!

Stephanie

In Zurich, the restaurant Cantinetta Antinori (expensive though) near the famous Bahnhofstrasse offers gluten-free pasta. The supermarkets Migros and Coop sell gluten-free items.

I want to move this back up to the top because we're leaving in 10 days and have finalized our itinerary:

Paris and Dijon, France

Stuttgart and Tubingen, Germany

Interlaken and Lausanne, Switzerland

Any restaurant or shop recommendations?

Thanks!

The Zurich train station has a Reformhaus (health food store) in the underground section that has some gluten-free foods. I particularly remember the Linzertorte, which I highly recommend. If you are changing trains in Zurich and have a few extra minutes, it's worth visiting this store.

I haven't been to the cities on your list since I began the gluten-free diet, but it is likely that there is a Reformhaus in each of the German-speaking cities that will have a selection of gluten-free foods. You should be able to find them via an internet search.

      @Rebeccaj,  When you smell toast or pasta cooking, that means that particles of that food are floating around in the air.  Airborne gluten can then be inhaled and swallowed, meaning the food particles get into your digestive tract.   If you're careful to avoid gluten and are still having symptoms, those symptoms could be caused by vitamin deficiencies.

      ok thanks for your advice. But my question was what happens when someone you know in a house is cooking pasta or toast that's flour  Airbourne without eating.?

      Do discuss this recent article with your doctors.  Thiamine Vitamin B 1 is important to intestinal health.  Thiamine deficiency can occur in Celiac Disease due to malabsorption.  Supplementing with a B Complex, Benfotiamine, and Vitamin D can help symptoms.   Thiamine deficiency aggravates experimental colitis in mice by promoting glycolytic reprogramming in macrophages https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39890689/#:~:text=Our mechanistic study revealed that,necessary to protect against colitis.

      Do keep in mind that most gluten free flours are not enriched nor fortified with vitamins and minerals like gluten containing flours are required to do.   Consuming a diet high in carbohydrates without sufficient B vitamins to digest and process them into energy can lead to High Calorie Malnutrition and weight gain. Deficiency symptoms of B vitamins resemble gastrointestinal symptoms when after eating gluten.  Gastrointestinal Beriberi is a form of Thiamine deficiency.   Do talk to your doctors about supplementing with essential nutrients while on the gluten free diet, especially if you're consuming processed foods.

      Do be sure to talk to your doctors and dieticians about supplementing with a B Complex and extra Thiamine (Benfotiamine, TTFD, thiamine hydrochloride) and other nutrients one might be low in due to malabsorption of nutrients in Celiac Disease. This study shows that Thiamine deficiency and Vitamin C deficiency is frequently found in Hashimoto's.  From personal experience, Thiamine and Vitamin C has helped my Hashimoto's.
