Gluten Free Travel Stories
As celiacs, we all trust the word of another coeliac more than promises of gluten free food from hotels or restaurants. This is a collection of stories from travelling celiacs so you can get the low down on gluten free food straight from the horse's mouth. Remember that where you live is a destination for some people, so please tell me about getting gluten free food in your area and I'll let thousands of celiacs know.
Open up the world for other celiacs
If you can let me know about your experiences travelling on a gluten free diet, I know other coeliacs would love to know about them - send your story here. It doesn't have to be an essay, just details about what you found you could eat, and whether you had any problems. I know from the emails I get you would be doing your fellow celiacs a great service.
