Hello All --

I recently got back from 10 days in Italy and I was amazed at how well known
this disease is there and how far out of their way people went.  All I said
(in my bad Italian) was "Bisogno mangiare senza glutine" (pronounce
GLUE-TEE-NAY) and I never had a problem.  Restaurants replaced my pasta course with rice
and brought me roasted meats without sauces.  Everything was perfect except
deserts, but the figs were in season so I didn't mind missing tiramisu.

I want to especially recommend the Hotel Michelangelo in Sorrento near the
stunning Amalfi Coast.  The chef there was trained in cooking GF food and I had
three terrific dinners.  My first morning I went down for breakfast and they
brought out boxes of pre-purchased GF cupcakes and bread.  They were amazing.

Ciao,

Mike
