<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Thanks to all for your information. I got a lot of good ideas for my trip to Europe. Several people were also planning trips, and requested that I summarize: Gluten free foods are available from Chemists (drug stores). the UK has a comprehensive food list which is available from the UK Coeliac Society: The Coeliac Society PO box 220 High Wycome Bucks HP 11 2HY the cost is 3 pounds. they have a web page at http://www.coeliac.co.uk/ Do not drink any beer. Cider is readily available but be careful. Drought cider may get cross contaminated but bottled cider is OK. Most fast food outlets offer a poor choice, with the exception of public houses (Bars). Here in Switzerland, you can buy gf products from health store and sometimes from pharmacies (green cross sign). One of the most common brand is "Schaer" or "Schar". It is always wise to carry somethings with you that travel well. Mutrimax soup mix are nice to have. I have been to Europe many times and have not had a problem. Carry a few things with you in case you run into a snag. There is a health food restaurant in Cambridge, across from King's college that had labeled gluten free menu items. I had trouble eating at a few indian restaurants, and could not identify the culprit, but after the second try gave it up. If all else fails, "jacket potatoes" in the pubs are always great. I especially enjoyed the potatoes with a lovely white sharp cheddar cheese -- Most of the pharmacies, aka Boots, carry gf breads, crackers, biscuits. I found a corn crispbread ( shaped kind of like a Rye Krist) imported from Australia in a health food store that was the best thing ever. Made by Orgran. The best thing you can do for yourself is bring a small light weight cooler on the plane filled with your favorite gf food. customs does not check for food on the way out - just on the way in. You will find plenty of health food stores in London because celiac is more diagnosed in England than it is here. When in a restaurant ask for steak/meat/fish and potatoes, rice, but avoid sausages. You must explain you can't eat wheat flour. gluten free in Canada and the US is not the same as gluten free in the UK. In the UK they are allowed wheat starch, this may or may not cause problems. Mc Donalds is also not the same, make sure you get an ingredients list. Baked potatoes are a life saver. I didnt have any trouble eating at baked potato places with cheese or beans ( as long as they are Heinz). You must try the glutano product line - especially the chocolate bars. There ia a health food store chain, with a distinctive green awning. There is one located in the Victoria station shopping mall in London. they sell a lot of gf stuff. Rice cakes and general food can be found at Safeway or Tesco . I tried every major brand of cider while I was there - no probles. Be aware that the alcohol content of these things vary, so you may end up listing to your hotel if you consume on on an empty stomach. Thanks to all. I feel more at ease about my vacation and I am sure it will be great.
