I had a lot of luck at both the grocery stores as well as at the reformhaus in Germany.
OMG, it was so awesome to walk into the grocer's - and there was a WHOLE AISLE (not a dinky corner) for GF items. Yeah, you gotta read the ingredients if you have other issues, but there were GF (No barley, no rye, no wheat) items that were ready-made for purchase! 
At the Reformhaus it was a smaller selection and a bit more expensive...
I was able to find other thing at the grocery store that were GF, but I had to read, read, read those labels (and have help doing so!)...

Good to see you back again. While in shopping in Germany, what were the key words you looked for to determine is a product was gluten free or not. For example, wheat =weiss.
I'm going to Germany for the holidays.

As usual you're the Link Master, thanks. I found the 2 middle links before but have never seen babblefish or google translation. That's quite interesting. I wonder how accurate the translations are.
I was also wondering about what German ingredients to look for that might hide gluten ingredients. I guess I'm asking what the equivalent of natural flavors, modified food starch, etc is. I'm afraid I'm not very clear this morning.

Tec, I'm so sorry I missed this!
There were brands such as Glutano/Glutino on an aisle by themselves at both the Reformhaus and the Grocery Store.
Most will say "Glutein-Frei" or have similar gluten free symbols that we have, such as the wheat in a "no" circle.
The worry is if you have corn allergies in addition to the regular celiac stuff; because the prepared foods all had corn - except for a very few.
I'm still learning everything that i have to avoid and what I can have; so maybe once I get German down better I can make a thread that can help everyone who may come to a German Speaking Country. 
Andreas and his mom did a great job (For the most part! LOL I got into some ketchup that had wheat  ) and helped me read labels.
