    I've been to France a few times and spent a couple years living in Europe. I found it EASIER there! I never heard of anyone not believing in celiac over there. Maybe, just like here, there will be people who have never heard of it. You might need some time to explore and experiment, and of course there will be times when you won't be able to eat in certain...

    The gluten free grocery store in the Dogpatch Mariposa Bakery in the Ferry building The Plant Cafe Organic I won't list more because I'm not familiar with who doesn't use rice flour, but there are a lot of options

    You won't have to look very hard in SF or LA. I don't know if this is the type of food you prefer but in SF I like The Plant Cafe Organic, Samovar, Rainbow Grocery, Whole Foods, Bi-Rite (the latter three for picking up groceries/grabbing salads etc), the farmer's markets (they're everywhere). I just learned that there's this place : gfgrocery.com. There...

    My advice is to not worry too much. I lived in Europe for an extended time and have spend a lot of time in London. I always found eating there to be extraordinarily easy. I felt the same way about Ireland and even Paris.

    I would recommend contacting Bubble and Bee Organics. They make extremely safe and effective deodorants (safe as in free of toxic chemicals - most deodorants are gluten-free) They use essential oils in their deodorants, but maybe some of all of the ones they use would be safe for your daughter. The company is really good at helping customers find the best...

    You don't really need to change anything then except the grain part, which you can replace with gluten-free whole grains (there are lots of them - quinoa, brown rice, millet, amaranth etc.)

    I know the OP isn't drinking soda, but I want to point out that the ingredients in Coke, Pepsi etc. in the US are completely different from the ingredients in Coke, Pepsi, etc. in Sweden. Coke in your country isn't the same as Coke in someone else's country. Just important to keep in mind when giving people advice about specific products.

    gluten free dining cards, maybe some sort of plastic travel fork, and an open mindedness toward getting yourself food at a supermarket or farmer's market instead of a restaurant, if need be (even if you don't have a kitchen). It also can't hurt to pack some snacks in your suitcase.

    Europe is much more celiac-aware than the US and generally more willing to accommodate a special diet. When it comes to eating and traveling, I find Europe about a million times easier than the US. You should be okay. Take restaurant cards if you're worried about a language barrier. Don't overlook the possibility of getting food at grocery stores...

    "I have a medical condition that restricts my diet. I'm not comfortable talking about it right now. It's not an eating disorder." That usually shuts people up really quickly!

    If you cook and or/bake, gluten free girl has some excellent recipes on her blog (and good advice for people newly diagnosed) Open Original Shared Link

    Europe is actually quite easy and much more celiac-aware than the US. I find traveling around Europe easier than traveling around the US ('m sensitive with multiple allergies as well). I've done it without a kitchen - with a kitchen it would definitely be doable.

    I would use the product you called about, but if you're looking for a company that completely and fully discloses the sources of its extremely organic, amazing and safe ingredients, I like Bubble and Bee Organic. The make an amazing lip balm. bubbleandbee.com Their organic deodorant is amazing as well, if anyone is looking to get away from aluminum...

    I eat TJ's food extremely regularly (practically live next door to one) and don't have any sort of problem. Their gluten-free pasta is inexpensive and great. I love their almond milk. I don't eat much of their super processed stuff though (they do sell a lot of junk food) so maybe that helps.
