May 5, 2011 - PRLog -- (Sleepy Hollow, NY) May 5, 2011
Just in time for spring travel to France, we are pleased to announce the release of The Gluten-Free Guide to France. The book offers comprehensive information about where to find gluten-free food all over France, including such venues as restaurants, hotels, B&Bs, bakeries, and health food stores. The Paris section features over 200 venues, all listed by location, cuisine and price. Translated gluten-free menus are provided as is a comprehenisve Gluten-Free French 101 section to help you find and order gluten-free food in French.

The book is the latest in The Gluten-Free Guide (s) series which includes The Gluten-Free Guide to Italy, The Gluten-Free Guide to New York, and The Gluten-Free Guide to Washington, D.C.  The books represent a series of  travellers’ health guides  to serve the needs of the large and growing gluten-intolerant community. Millions worldwide who cannot tolerate gluten due to celiac disease and wheat allergy turn to a gluten-free diet for relief of symptoms, as do many victims of autism, neuropathy, chronic pain, fibromyalgia, MS, rheumatoid arthritis, chronic fatigue, and migraine.

The Gluten-Free Guide series was created as a universally-available comprehensive resource for residents of, and travelers to, the world's major metropolitan areas and target destinations. The extensive research, organization and packaging (a single carry-along volume) will save readers a great deal of time and stress in looking for gluten-free food.  The data was compiled with the help of national and local celiac support groups and activists; restaurant owners, chefs and managers; professional chefs; food scientists; health food store owners; physicians and nutritionists, and native speakers of French, Spanish, German, and Italian.

The Guides feature a comprehensive dining-out guide (by location) to gluten-free-friendly restaurants, bakeries, and health food stores. They also provide Gluten-Free 101:  multi-lingual vocabulary sections to facilitate clear communication of dietary needs.  These sections include a celiac self-identification statement, questions for the chef, a list of safe and unsafe ingredients, and an large dictionary of key food words and phrases, all translated into five languages: English, Italian, German, Spanish, and French.
