If you contact www.coeliac.co.uk, they have lots of info on travelling abroad.

They also do little cards with useful phrases (e.g. to say briefly what you can/can't eat - handy to give to the waiter in restaurants or whatever)

My dh is a coeliac.

thanks, it's for me dd she has been wheat free for a year but this is first holiday where we will be doing some food shopping.

dh usually takes a few things with him (maybe one or two packs of rolls, the loaves just turn into breadcrumbs en route!)

Sometimes he manages to eat alternatives and not even bother with the bread and pasta. (rice, chips etc)

Have a lovely holiday.

This is a great site that will deliver stuff to you in the UK before you go, and will also deliver to France if you had an address

http://www.allergen-free-food.com/

if by chance you stumbled across a chain of shops called 'Naturalia' or a 'bio co-op' they usually ahve a great range of stuff. generally in bigger cities, lots in paris. (i'm based in France if i can be of help email at:

I remember a thread earlier this year (which i can't find now!) where someone had posted a link to the cards you can print off and hand over in restaurants explaining about coealics and what you can and cannot eat in various languages - does anyone have that link? We're off the France in a week's time and it's been nearly 30 yrs since I did my A level French, with hardly any practice in the intervening years! I think I would struggle trying to explain it myself. blush

Message

Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face,

, type [smile] or :)
For a big grin,

, type [grin] or :o
For a wink,

, type [wink]
For a shocked face,

, type [shock]
For an angry face,

, type [angry]
For an embarrassed face,

, type [blush]
For a sad face,

, type [sad] or :(
For an envious face,

, type [envy]
For a sceptical face,

, type [hmm]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
