    I've eaten gluten free food on several airlines without any major problems, but I think it really depends on which airline you're using. A few times I've been served meals where certain portions were labeled gluten free, but other, pre-packaged items such as crackers that were clearly NOT gluten free were included (I'm looking at you, United Airlines!)....

    Not sure if they have bullion, but we buy Pacific Natural Foods broths/stocks a lot. I believe most, if not all, of their stocks/broths are gluten free, and they're also free range/organic. Whole Foods carries them, and I occasionally see them at regular grocery stores. I'm sure you can order it online, too.

    I haven't tried it, but McDonald's has had gluten free buns for years in the Scandinavian countries, where celiac is especially prevalent. So they may have good practices established over there that they're trying out here now. Not going to rush out to try it, but i wouldn't mind eating a Big Mac once in awhile if they can do it safely.

    I've been to Bonefish several times with no problems. Mostly Chicago area, but I've also gone there when traveling. Staff seems to be well-trained, and the food is good.

    I was in the LA area for Thanksgiving, and I ate twice at True Food Kitchen in Newport with no problems - and I'm pretty sensitive. Food was very good, too - a little pricey, but I definitely felt safe there.

    I've been to France a few times since being diagnosed and I didn't have any issues. I was only in the Paris area, and, while it wasn't widely known, no one gave me a hard time for my requests, or doubted that celiac existed. Biggest problem I found was them not really understanding what was/was not gluten free, but I was with French colleagues and I had...

    Huh - that's not the response we've gotten from Penzey's before. First, we were told at the actual store that they don't use gluten at all. Then my husband called to confirm, and they told him that they DO use gluten in a couple of their products, and he was also told that everything is processed on shared equipment. I still think their stuff is pretty...

    Just a note on Green's - they used to make 3 kinds which were all from gluten free grains (blond, amber and dark - I think from buckwheat, sorghum and rice). Apparently, they're still making these types, but they've also started making beers from 'de-glutinized' barley. I don't know whether these beers are being sold in the U.S. yet or if they're just in...

    Harvester is completely gluten free (they've been certified, I think) and by far the tastiest gluten free beer option. I visited there when I was in Portland last year. They use certified gluten free oats in some of the beers, so that's something to be aware of for people who have oat issues. Unfortunately, they're pretty new, so their beer is only available...

    I've taken food with me a bunch of times to Europe (including Germany) and I've never had problems - I've brought in fruit, sausages, lara bars, nuts, dried fruit, etc. I think there's always a chance something could be confiscated if you get checked at customs, but I don't think it's likely.

    A no grain diet doesn't have to be low carb - can you eat things like potaotes, sweet potatoes, squash, pumpkin, bananas, plantains? Baked potatoes and sweet pototatoes are pretty good cold, as are pancakes made of shredded potatoes or sweet potatoes. Can you eat honey? That could be a good energy source, especially mixed with some almond butter. You...

    I did the Whole30 diet for a couple of months. It eliminates all added sugars, all grain products, all processed oils, dairy, legumes and alcohol. Basically, you just eat fruits, vegetables, meat, fish, eggs and nuts for a month. They've got a stricter version that also eliminates nuts and eggs, and nightshades. I just started the re-introduction phase...

    ARCHIVED Risoterria

    Kate79 replied to Gemini's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    Risoterria is AWESOME. I've been to New York twice since diagnosis and have made a point to eat there both times. Almost everything is gluten free, the Risotto is great, they've got a huge selection of gluten free beers, and they've got great baked goods. They even make a gluten free 'twinkie' that tastes much better than the real thing! If I lived in...

    Vienna is an amazing place - but I can imagine it's really difficult for a celiac there. I'm sorry the food issues are getting you down! I don't know how good your German is or how long you'll be in Vienna, but the Austrian celiac site has an upcoming meetup in Vienna scheluled in a few weeks. I pasted the details for you below. Wien Pizzaessen ...
