<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Here are the responses I had. Think I dont need to be anxious. Will have plenty to eat. One wrote me only to lell me Alsace and Lorraine weren't towns but regions. That I know, and you too probably. With "there two towns", I was meaning Brussels and Strasbourg without saying. You will be in heaven....go to the Refourmhaus or local health food stores...they have shelves full of gluten free food. Was just there. There were a lot of health food stores everywhere. I can't vouch for gluten free breads, but from what I understand, gluten free products are found there as well as in drug stores in Europe, unlike in the USA. Their drug atores are huge and are crossovers into specialty, health- related grocery stores. I have just come back from France and Belgium. Alas I can't answer your question about shops as I didn't try, having stocked up in Germany. However, as a gluten free snack I can recommend the 'moules frites' which the Belgians seem to love. They come in a big pot with their cooking liquid and with a plate of french fries and a dipping sauce. Forget about the sauce, but the rest of it is just fine, if you like mussels that is. I found out about a place to buy GF food where I was going in Germany by writing to the tourist office in that city via a web site link and they gave me 3 addresses. I was in Freiburg which is over the border in Germany from Alsace-Lorraine. Let me know if you're interested in having the address of that place and I'll pass it on. In Dr Schar's website, www.schaer.com, you can find all places and all stores where their products are avaliable. Also, you could send a fax to the French Coliac Association: +33156080842 and ask for suggestions. Thanks to all, Mireille, Waterloo, Quebec.
