     Hi,

     I mailed out recently regarding our 'Celiac' son. I have not had a
     chance to summarise this yet - apologies.

     On another item, we were out recently and tried our luck with some
     Nepalese food - in Dublin (Ireland ph. 01-6704911), at a restaurant
     called Monty's. This is a chain of restaurants which also have a
     number of openings in London - UK.

     We asked them about gluten free food, and were surprised to find that
     virtually all their food is gluten free - excluding the Nan bread and
     the batter items. They use ground cashew nuts to thicken all their
     sauces, and or eggs. I'd not heard of this as a potential thickener.
     It certainly holds out the possibility of a more varied and
     interesting diet.

     Has anyone else any experience of ethnic foods which by their nature
     seem to be gluten free.

     Thanks,

     Donal Dunne (Waterford, Ireland)
