Hi there,

Although I have not been to Berlin I have been in Munich and in Austria. Although my m-i-l did some preshopping for me I did just fine. My favorite gluten-free pre-made bread (schar) is from Germany. I was there on a two week vacation and ate out constantly!!!! I had no problems was never glutened and found more gluten-free foods for at home than I could consume so brought many back to the states. Do you speak duestch? if so check out www.grimm.at it's an austrian not german site but might help. I did much better in Europe than I do in the states. I will no longer eat dairy and or meat while in the US! Best of luck!

I'm from Germany and I have found it very easy to live gluten free over there. You can get a lot of products at the Reformhaus, but a lot of big supermarket are carrying gluten free products as well. It seems like the most widely available brands are Schaer (my favorite!!! they even have orange soft cakes and all sorts of other yummy stuff) and DS (they also have lots of frozen foods). Check out their websites:

There are other brands as well, but spontaneously, I only remembered those two.

Once you know the ingredients that you can eat and which you have to stay away from, the labeling is very good, maybe even better than in the US. Just ask if you encounter any problems.
