Michelle, I apologize for the tardiness in posting my experiences on the Moscow-St.Petersburg cruise on Viking. Please refer to my response that I entered today (5/14/08): "River Cruise Moscow to St. Petersburg". Thanks. Rajawali

Dear fellow Celiac sufferers, My wife and I did the Moscow - St. Petersburg river cruise with Viking River Cruises. We had a fabulous experience, not one accident. The cruise ship crew was fantastic looking after my diet. Here is what I did: 1. I went into MENUDATA.com and get a free translation in Russian of the stuff I cannot have. 2. As soon...

Hello Brian, I don't know if you can import beer from the US. We have "Red Bridge", a beer made of SORGHUM by Anheuser-Busch, Inc. It tastes somewhat like dark beer. To me it tastes pretty decent. Hey, beggars are not choosers. This is the only beer that I can have. Here is a link to their website: www.redbridgebeer.com Good luck, Rajawali

Michelle, I will post my experiences when we return early in October. Rajawali.

CDH, Thank you for relating your experience on the Viking River Cruise. My wife and I will be going on one from Moscow to St. Petersburg. Your note is encouraging. Thanks. Rajawali

Hi, I live in Metaire, LA, and since diagnosed with Celiac not long ago, has had many "accidents" dining out in New Orleans. The one where I had good experience was a small nice place called "Dante's Kitchen". The table staff that we had was quite knowledgable about celiac. The fish dish that I ordered was fantastic and it was gluten free. Unfortunately...

Dear Sparkles. Thank you very much for the feedback. I will post my experiences after I get back from our trip in September. Many readers suggested bringing such things as gluten free bars that you can get from Whole Foods, Trail Mixes, etc. Unfortunately, I found out that I am also sensitive to dried fruits. I tried dried appricots, dates (beautiful...

I have been using CHOY SUN OYSTER FLAVORED SAUCE by LEE KUM KEE for a long time. Last time was two days ago in a snow pea and shrimp stir fry. Never a problem.

I chew on a lot of sugarless mint gum. Always have a supply in my pocket, at home, at the office, in the car, everywhere. If the nausea is bad, I could be taking one every 30 minutes. Also, I found that strong ginger tea helped. Usually they ae sweetened with sugar, so it is not good if you are diabetic. You can buy the ginger tea in Asian Groceries. I have...

I never had a problem with kettle chips, provided they are regular flavour. I have had problems with other flavours. Do't know what caused the problem.

Hello dear Celiac suferrers, My wife and I (I am a new celiac) plan to do a river cruise from Moscow to St. Petersburg in Sept/Oct. I am very concerned about my situation and would like to learn from you who have been on a trip similar to this. This trip is organized by Viking River Cruises. From reading the comments in this forum, I understand that...

-------------- I fully suport this initiative. The airlines and their caterers will listen if enough noise is made, or if enough travellers switch to gluten-free friendly airlines. My wife and I plan to visit Europe this fall. We will provide comments upon our return. Rajawali.

------------------------------ Dear tigger18, Could you please tell me what a restaurant card is ? Thanks. Rajawali.

------------------------------------- Thanks for your complimentary note. My wife and I have called NOLA home for the past 6 yrs, and were never bored. It is a great city. Rajawali
