Most celiac’s have anxiety when traveling. The thought of having to find a place to eat that is safe, is overwhelming. In fact, it often distracts from the joy that the adventure can bring.
I have tried to take on a completely different perspective when traveling. In fact, one of the most exciting parts of traveling to new places is discovering what types of gluten-free food they have it in those areas.
Granted, I tend to take back-up supplies with me such as think thin peanut butter bars, beef jerky and packets of gluten free instant oatmeal, as well as a few other nonperishables, but in most cases I don’t need them.
With the exception of Mexico, and other countries without clean water sources, I can always rely on fresh fruits and vegetables to supplement my diet as well.
However, I have found there to be a plethora of options in most cities that are exciting, enjoyable and safe to consume.
My favorite places to travel to have been:
Seattle, WA
Columbus, OH
Chicago, IL
San Juan, Puerto Rico
London, England
Keep an open mind, download the “find me gluten free” app, do a bit of online research before you go and pack a few resources just in case. But don’t be afraid to travel, instead be excited to find the next big thing in gluten free!
You need to go to Phoenix, that has been the place that we have found the most GF options hands down. They had several GF restaurants even.
