[jasonD2]

i'm traveling to Canne, France in a few months and am concerned about finding gluten & dairy free foods. any suggestions? usually when i travel i pack some food in my luggage, but i wont be checking any bags for this flight since there will be 1-2 stops.

When I went to Spain, I e-mailed a Celiac organization and they helped me out. I also joined a Spanish Celiac website for the city I was staying in. If you speak French, that would be good. I eat dairy-free, too. If I ever doubted ingredients, I would ask people to help me. I told them what i couldn't have and they double checked the Spanish for me. Hopefully they have gluten-free sections in France like they do in Spain. Sometimes I even ran into people with Celiacs! Good luck!

I just got back from France and it was a celiac success!!! I ate out in restaurants everyday. I brought my letter written in french, I took most of it from the celiac food card in french and then added my other food issues and they took it very seriously. I did not go at peak times. I went to smaller restaurants. I found the french very friendly and accomodating. I think of the french like I think of "the valley" in LA, smaller places much friendlier than places impressed with themselves.

I was NEVER glutened!!

Viva la France!
