Gluten Free Travel

Summer vacations can become less relaxing when you have to worry about gluten sensitivities.  Vacations almost always equal eating out!  As we all know, eating out is not easy when you have to stay gluten free.  It is hard enough to find a place to go eat when you are familiar with the restaurants in your area. But, what do you do when you are NOT familiar with the area.   What do you do when you are surrounded with food courts and stands? In the summer, evan a simple day trip to the ball park, an amusement park, or fair can become stressful.

Here are some places that provide gluten free food items:
Disney
Kalahari Resort in Wisconsin Dells
Sea World

A routine you need to get in is to call ahead.  Try to call ahead anywhere you are able to and tell them about your allergy.  Ask them what they have available.  Ask questions to help you prevent eating foods that may have been cross contaminated.  Also, if you are able, get use to packing a cooler with your favorite gluten free foods.  If all else fails you can take a break from your activities and have a fast picnic.

I would love to hear some great safe - gluten free summer trips that you have taken!
Happy Summer and don't forget to pack your gluten free sun screen, hair care, and mouth care items (visit www.all-gluten-free.com to find some great gluten free items to take on your next trip).

Gluten free life!

Have you seen or heard the term gluten free?

A few years ago, most people didn't know much about gluten.  But, It seems as if it is becoming a much more popular topic now.

You can't go to a store without seeing something gluten free.  This is great news for people who have been living with a gluten free lifestyle for some time now, or is it?

True, it use to be a much bigger struggle to find gluten free products.  With its recent popularity, the variety of items have increased.  This at first seemed wonderful!  But, then it just made life more difficult.
With everyone wanting to get on the band wagon of "gluten free"  things become blurred.  Now if you live in a gluten free world you can find "gluten free" products everywhere.  But, are they truly gluten free!?

If you live in a gluten free world,  you now have to worry about cross contamination, hidden forms of gluten, undisclosed ingredients due to "secret formulas",  and much much more!

How do we survive?  Networking with each other!
Let's all share some great gluten free advice, links, and products!
