Be Prepared
Nothing will ruin your vacation faster than not being able to enjoy a good meal so don’t be naive and think, ‘I’ll figure it out when I get there.’ Try to locate restaurants with gluten free menu items in advance and make sure to pack your own snacks just in case.
Thanks for this article. I’ve been struggling to find the courage to travel and speak up about my “peculiar” ways of eating.
Italy was the BEST with food. I told the waiter I was gluten intolerant and he brought me out some delicious g-free pasta. Also, the grocery stores have a huge selection of products. Instead of buying clothes, I was buying food while in Italy. Too bad I can’t find many of these products in the States.
@jana:
Also wanted to add that on top of being a celiac sufferer, I am also a soy free vegan. The best food I ever had came from the sous chef while on a cruise. Every meal was prepared exclusively for me!
