I'm fortunate enough to be able to travel to Paris with my partner (sans kids) for a week. I had some trepidation about it -- it is my first trip outside the US since I got the celiac diagnosis. I don't dpeak French, and communication is so important when living the gluten-free life. I won't say it has been a breeze, but I have been able to eat interesting foods in typical Parisian places and find gf products to have at the apartment for the meals we have made ourselves.
After I get home, I'll document the trip more fully. I just wanted to check in and reinforce that with planning and patience having celiac does not have to be a barrier to going and seeing and doing. ************************************************ We'll cover travel tips in the 4-part webinar series starting October 15th.

What are those cream puff-looking pastries? Are they GF? They look delicious!

They're called Madame de Fortenay du Caramel (or du Chocolate). I got them at the only gluten-free pastry in Paris, Helmut Newcake. Best dessert ever - even counting my before celiac days. :-) Comments are closed.
