<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hi everyone, I'm travelling to Austria for a conference in September and I'm really nervous about my eating options there. Apart from the gluten problem I have lactose intolerance and am a vegetarian (recently taken up fish though for my arthritis). Is this really a deadly combination for my eating chances there? I'm just at the point of booking an accomodation in Vienna (conference venue is right in the centre of town at the Dr. Karl Lueger Ring1 if that says anything to some of you), should I try and cook for myself there, what suggestions do you have for eating out? What should I be careful of? Are there any gf-friendly health-food stores, or should I head for the market, or should I take everything with me? I'm sure someone has asked a similar question about travelling to Austria before, so sorry for the repeat... I'd happily receive copies of past responses if you have any too (I'm afraid I'm not very competent in searching the archives...). Thanks for all answers! cheers, Niko Niko Antalffy PhD candidate @ Sociology Department Macquarie University C3B Rm 514 9850 8044 (H) [log in to unmask] (W) [log in to unmask]
