Bonjour Armelle! I'm preparing to spend about a week in Paris in October; have you actually been to NoGlu and Helmut Newcake? Do you know if they are any good? I'm staying in a flat for my stay and I think I'm going to have to cook quite a bit to survive. I read something about classical french sausages that made me frown;…

I guess I take a bit of a different tack than the guy above you. I've been dealing with Celiac Disease for three years now. I have no qualms eating gluten free replacement foods because either making them from scratch (with expensive, very perishable alternate grains) is a pain in the butt or time consuming. There's…

I hear Amazon is good for that kind of thing, always worth a look right?

I had asthma as a child and persistent skin rashes that continue to this day. The asthma went away at puberty but then the migraines came and stayed. There is research that says asthma and celiac disease are linked, especially if you had it as a child like i did, and I have celiac now.

The problem with this, is these restaurants are hevily contaminated if they don't consciously attempt to be a gluten free restaurant. I can't eat mexican in a restaurant, I can't guarantee their corn tortilllas are not contaminated by all the flour ones, and I can't eat the chips because usually they're fried in the same…

Also, if you're really craving bread, Udi's makes awesome gluten free bread, but it is more expensive. And there are a lot of frozen dinner options out there too, like the Amy's stuff.

I should also note that there are some restaurants that might help too, if you're a person who eats out: Outback and Bonefish are awesome. Red Robin now has a gluten free bun for their hamburgers! So does Cheeseburger in Paradise. Wendy's doesn't have much but their chili and a baked potato is what I can get there. Jason's…

I've lost 70lbs over the last year and a half on first Atkins (20 lbs, I gave up on it after some personal life issues and it stopped working), and then 50 more on South Beach, which is a much, much better and more flexible plan. Once you break the carb addiction in the first two weeks and put yourself in a different…

Chex is a lifesaver, and cheaper than the alternative cereals. It's really not that much more expensive. IF you're looking for GF food thats cheap and goes a long way, rice and beans goes a long way if you're worried about money. You just have to watch the canned beans. Dewy, LaChoy is gluten free? I switched to tamari to…

The Tinkyada rice ones are the best, honestly. Just make sure you follow the cooking instructions on the back to the letter.
