I've been doing a bad job of keeping up with old posts. Sorry! I don't travel for my job, except as a graduate student I do travel to do field research, but my husband travels sometimes for his job (mostly to India). I like to tag along. :) Hi David, Cool, thanks for the recommendations. I know just how you feel missing the open hours- that has happened to me more than once! Now I'm so paranoid I always call first to get the hours. :) Here's to being GF in Augsburg! Hi Ani, Thank you for coming by! The point of this post was less to suggest that people buy their GF products from Europe and more to help people who might be traveling to Europe and shopping at Reformhaus (Health Food Stores) pick out some good products. I wonder if you might be referring to another post? I'm not sure, but anyway, thanks for the recommendation of Against the Grain. I haven't tried their products. I have tried Namaste- I think it was a brownie mix. Unfortunately here in California they are quite pricey in the stores so I haven't bought very many of them. :) I wonder if either is available on Amazon- I do a lot of my gluten-free mix shopping online with free shipping and it usually beats store prices.

We are wheat, corn, soy and yeast free and these products taste like a real piece of french bread without the wheat. Totally Amazing!!! Thanks Nancy for creating the yummiest bread ever. Other great wheat free baking mixes we use are namaste. Way better than the baking mixes listed above and much less expensive.

I'm kind of amazed that we've both been gf in Augsburg...but I don't think gf beer was available when I was there. I did get an amazing almond horn cookie, which was in a foil wrap, but I guess there's a chance I got that in Munich. And I had some light muesli that was excellent. I also took a long walk to a bakery that was supposed to make great gf bread, but I got there mid-day, when the bakery was closed and I guess no exceptions could be made for traveler who had merely traveled across an ocean to be there.... So it goes. What a pleasant surprise to find this post!

Thank you for coming by, and thank you for the nice comments. I think France can be a good place to be gluten-free, but the health food stores would probably be in the big city so it might be good to stop for a gluten-free food run before heading to the countryside. There weren't so many reformhaus in rural Austria either. :) Both Austria and France can be tricky, though, as both have a strong tradition of gluten in their cuisine. It can make it very difficult to eat out! Thank you for pointing me to your website. Your products look lovely. I was actually looking for a gluten-free croissant, but a gluten-free baguette looks pretty darned good, too. Heh heh. It would be great if you could start distributing on the West Coast- I'd love to try your products. ;) Thanks for the visit and I hope to see you again sometime! -Sea Hi Nancy!

My celiac son suffered through a month in rural France and Macedonia this summer with very few GF food choices. Guess we sent him to the wrong place... I am the owner of Against The Grain Gourmet (www.againstthegraingourmet.com,) and I just wanted you to know that there are indeed some US manufacturers of baguettes. We sell both plain baguettes and fresh rosemary baguettes, and baguettes are our best selling product. Our company is just a year old, and we are currently distributed on the East Coast, but we expect to be on the West Coast within the year. Another GF company that makes baguettes is Everybody Eats (http://www.everybodyeats-inc.com/) in NYC. Unlike us, they ship directly. Great, informative website, and great article!
