When we travel with my kid we either use japanese restaurants (sushis and white rice, we do avoid soy sauce since it often contains gluten, although my kid does tolerate a little soy sauce), or we use grills (for eg french fries and a grilled steak). To buy food use whole food shops (that's where they sell gluten free stuff). Its quite easy. We travel all...

Hi Michele! I saw your mail just now (I do not connect to the forum very often unfortunately) I'd be willing to receive your 10 year old kid in June if you think he is mature enough to spent some times without his familly (it much depends on children, at this age, it would be ok I guess only if he's used to travel already, like in summer camps for eg, otherwise...

Hi Tanya I live in France and my kid is gluten free, it's easy to find here : check on : Open Original Shared Link type : "diététique : produits biologiques, naturels et de régime (détail)" under "activité", and the town (paris I assume)and you'll find lots off health food stores. They all sell gluten free products now (if you are looking also for ...

No, not this school, which is why I thought it was good (it's a small private montessori school and I know the headmaster well). The problem with July / August is that we either would not be on holiday (our kids are with my mother during this period, she does speak fluent English too though, but is a little old, so it might be a bit difficult for her to...

Hi, Following my previous topic : I'd like to propose hosting an English speaking gluten-free kid (about 12/13, preferably boy) here in France (Lyon) in June 2006 for 2 or 3 weeks. I have 2 boys : 10 and 12. My eldest is gluten-free (and caseine free and other stuff free). Both have been learning English since they were about 7 and the speak pretty...

Actually the more I think about it the more I think it would be a good idea to host a celiac American or English kid here in June 2006, and then send my kid (or both him and his younger brother) to the kid's familly summer 07. That would give him one more year to grow up, cook his own food, etc, and they'd actually love to receive a kid here and it would...

Thanks for the info. Indeed, camp might be a good idea untill he's old enough to cook his own meals.

>>Oh, and you should know that you can tell any group you're working with that you have a child with a special diet and they should work with you HAPPILY to provide your child with a family that will accomodate his needs. I mean, this is an easy one for them. This is not a lot to ask. A good org. will happily assist you and your son with every thing...

By the way, I thought also about something since you wrote : >>I hope I can do the same one day, as our son's diagnosis has completely curtailed our travels. We even dread traveling to another city. I can host someone's kids (providing of course he is about the same age as mine or a year or 2 older at most, who are respectively 10 and 12) even...

Thanks for the answer. The problem is I always do the shopping and the cooking for him. It's true I should probably have him learn to do that by his own already, but for the moment I'm not sure he would be old enough to pick out foods by himself (I know in the US it's easy to spot an organic shop nearby (we do that even on the internet before travelling to...

Hi My kid is gluten-free (and casein free and some other allergies). He is 12 now and has been learning English since primary school (we live in France). Travel with us has never been a problem (we managed to find gluten-free shops easily, and for restaurants we use japanese restaurants usually, or sometimes Grills), but either next summer or most probably...
