Shanta Qadeama Member # 9889	posted How easy would it be for someone to follow a gluten-free diet here in Cairo? (question for someone else btw)
metinoot Member # 17031	posted Not very. You'd have to pulverize Flax, Almond into "meal" which is time consuming. Replacing flour would be the most difficult part. I can do it here quite easily and at no extra cost; but it would be a conscientious effort to do it in Cairo. Can be done but takes coordination. I am not a huge fan of rice flour so I have a tendency to stay clear of rice flour.

metinoot Member # 17031	posted Glutten free foods is also a great way of diversifying stage 2 of south beach diet. Had a coworker who had this condition, she was very evangelistic about the condition. But I did pinch several recipees from her. I also found out how time consuming it was to pulverize these ingredients. She did so on her own because she didn't trust coops not to mingle the flax/rice meal with regular flour. I know glutten can do a number on your colon moreso than red meat.

Shanta Qadeama Member # 9889	posted Just came across this: http://www.glutenfreeglobe.com/Africa/Egypt/ Gluten Free advice for Egypt I've a son who is a gluten intolerance, so i might help some people who are egyptian or visiting Cairo to know from where they can order GF bread: Fino Bakery in Zamalek and Maadi,Tel 02 5210646 - 010 5660588 - 012 2606931 and always check in Alfa Market, they always have thngs like rice Noodles pasta, and Rice crackers. Regards, salma I'd like to add to Salma's advice. Thanks to her we found the bakery in Zamalek! It's right behind the Danish Embassy. They don't sell gluten free bread off the shelf, but you can order minimum three loaves for the following morning. This we did. We ordered them "with seeds" (this they'll ask you, with or without seeds) and the bread arrived at our agreed time of 8am, so we took it to our hotel breakfast. It was delicious, the best gluten-free bread we've tasted! Anyone live in Zamalek able to go check it out?
