Canyon Bakehouse now have hamburger rolls..I am going to have to order them...all their other breads, foccacia and muffins are far superior to all the others I have tried to eat of the last 3 years...you can order online too.

Thanks for the info..I will definetly follow up on it. Will only be there 2 days but would love to be able to eat something other than a salad...LOL

I found a new bread at Whole Foods and it is wonderful. When I first saw it I thought just like in the past I would buy it, taste it, throw it away, just like all the others. BUT, this bread has the texture of real bread, tastes good, toasts well and I have reordered it online from Canyone Bakehouse twice...They have a 7grain San Juan bread that is great...

Thanks Olivegirl, that is encouraging news. I also have a Select Wisely card in Italian so I will be able to communicate with the waiters that I am gluten intolerant. I hope that someone who has been to Venice can recommend a restaurant or two.

Most cruise lines areavery sensitive to gluten free needs...my experience is with Princess cruises...we have cruises numerous times since being diagnosed and it is a joy to know that the worry about eating gluten-free doesn't exist...I always fill in the online cruise personalizer requesting gluten-free and then follow up with a fax to passenger services...

We are spending a few days in Venice before boarding a cruise and when I think of Italy all I can think of is pizza and pasta...any suggestions for restaurants in Venice...We will be staying on the Grand Canal at the Hotel Carlton.

I was also really shocked when I happened to find these mixes packaged together at Sam's Club. I've made both of them and they are really good texture and flavor wise..I just bought another box when I was there last time...Just think how great, you could actually use two of the carrot cakes and make a wonderful cream cheese frosted birthday cake...WOW, gluten...
