My 15 year old coeliac son is travelling from the UK to Russia next month to perform with his local contemporary dance group, Oxford Youth Dance, staying in Moscow a few days and then by overnight train to Perm, just west of the Urals, for 6 nights.
Any tips?  Is he going to be able to eat ANYTHING he doesn't bring?
Obviously he will be taking most of his own GF food for the 10 day trip (bread, cereal, crackers, biscuits, pasta, nuts, crisps, chocolate, toaster etc) and apparently they will be staying mostly with families or in accommodation with cooking facilties so he can get pasta/rice/baked beans cooked for him.  But will he be able to eat anything if he goes out? 
He will have translated Russian food cards with him.  Is there a standard meat dish (pork chop?) that is likely to be safe? I imagine everything drenched in Ukranian wheatflour...He has predictable teenage aversions to cabbage and beetroot...
I've tried to reassure him that he probably eat better than anyone else!
