    I've actually heard there can be a difference (not that I'm advocating eating any sort of wheat or gluten). I don't have direct sources to quote but maybe others here do.

    If anybody asks, I find that phrases such as "restricted diet" and "medical reasons" shut people up pretty quickly. But yeah...just bring your own food. It's easier than you think.

    I like Orgran bread crumbs

    They actually do let you take food on a plane. I do it very very frequently. And while it might be difficult to communicate with restaurant staff and caterers, there are simply plenty of food options in France (supermarkets, produce markets and health food stores there have many gluten-free and df products with labels in English. Of course it requires...

    ok i'm gonna post this one last time... there's plenty of gluten and dairy free food in France. They are celiac-aware...it is not that hard...but of course, it is your choice. good luck.

    No. I responded to one of your first threads about this a while back. I've had great luck in France (gluten, dairy and soy-free, and I don't speak French either, and I didn't have a kitchen). You shouldn't expect to be able to eat the local cuisine, but there should be enough food for you to eat there.

    That's just in the US. In Australia (at least when I was there a few years ago - Sydney as well ) gluten had to be clearly labeled, and I was told I could simply read labels to find out if gluten was present in the product. Of course you should double check my info, but my advice would be to ask the gluten-free Aussies, as things work quite differently...

    tygwyn - Are you in Australia? If so, your country clearly labels allergens and you don't need to worry so much about hidden gluten as mentioned above and in many other places around this forum. So...you're already looking for the right things...wheat, rye and barley.
  9. Mango04
    It's definitely, definitely not the same worldwide, so be sure to check Australia-specific information (Australia is really good about labeling though, so you should be able to simply check labels to find out if there is any gluten in the products you mentioned).

    I agree with the idea of just going gluten-free. It will save you lots of time and stress in a doctor's office and will very likely give you the answer you've been looking for...

    Berlin is great for food (all of Germany actually is quite gluten-free friendly - I live in a neighboring country and nearly all of the gluten-free products I buy come from there). Be sure to check out the DM and Rossman drug stores. They carry quite a few gluten-free food options and can be found around the city. There's a large outdoor organic...

    You can always stick a bag of Tinkayada in your suitcase and have a pasta night with your friends. I've done it and nobody ever minds it. People also usually don't mind if you want to run to the grocery store when you get to town. You could also always suggest restaurants such as Outback or PF Changs if eveyone wants to eat out. Easy Oh and yeah...

    Fortunately, that's not true. I was just in France and found great food to eat (all was completely gluten, dairy and soy-free). You'll be fine there.
  14. Mango04
    I just have to say I love the term "violate my mayo" haha. Hope you find people for you house.

    I have a cream called Isola Bio Crema di Riso. It's an Italian product you might be able to find online (basically cream made from rice). It says gluten-free on the carton. You might want to check into Rice Dream ice cream, because I think (but I'm not sure) that the ice cream is actually made a different way and doesn't contain gluten. You could...

    I recently went to Paris. Didn't eat at any restaurants, but found a great health food store called Natralia (or something like that). They are all over the city. I was able to get really good gluten-free (dairy-free and soy-free) crackers, cookies etc, as well as these really great little packaged salads (rice and tuna, quinoa, veggie etc) that...

    I don't know about hotels but London is my favorite place to eat. I also have multiple food allergies and have had tons of luck with the restaurants there (in addition to Cotto and Wagamama check out Leon, the gluten-free sections at Sansburys and Waitrose, and the Whole Foods in Kensington) Sorry if that's all info you already knew about.... ...

    If you're in New Zealand you should really ignore the US company statements. It's common for seemingly identical products to be completely different in different countries, especially regarding ingredients used and possible gluten. There's a good chance your version is still safe...so worth checking into.

    Happy birthday and may God bless you today!

    Based on my understanding, I don't think it's scientifically possible to test for zero ppm. Just because they use 10 ppm testing doesn't mean the product contains gluten, it just might be the best testing they can do. It's kind of unfortunate - the companies that bother to test their products get a bad rap, simply since the tests are so complicated...

    I've been to all of those places (except Brussels) I don't think you'll have too many problems. I usually rely on grocery stores/markets over restaurants and try to keep things simple. In the summer there are really nice markets with fruits and veggies and it usually isn't too hard to find the basics. Usually when I travel to a new city in Europe, without...

    I really really hate to say this, but the Lisantti cheese isn't dairy-free. Open Original Shared Link It has milk protein in it. Might be okay for lactose intolerant people, but not for anyone who needs to be dairy free.

    Just a tip - it's easier for Americans to find legal work in Central/Eastern Europe than it is in Western Europe (if you're hoping to be legal). New Zealand is supposed to be doable. There used to be a program called Bunac that could get Americans 4-month work visas for Australia, but I believe that's now changed. Worth looking into more though.
  24. Mango04
    I've done it twice. Would definitely recommend it Research the country you want to go to and see what you have to do to work legally. It all depends on what you want to do and where you want to go.

    It's required that grains be listed on meat products. On all packaged food products in the US, wheat must be listed (along with several other top allergens - barley and rye can still be hidden, but this is rare). Raw steak without an ingredient list is gluten-free.
