If you are a person with certain intolerances planning your vacation will take a little extra time. Today we will focus on the tips for traveling without gluten , and it is that celiacs must take into account a series of previous aspects when organizing a trip. Above all, the most important thing is that at no time, at any time, this becomes a limitation. Solutions exist everywhere. Let nothing, least of all this, condition your desire to enjoy your dream destination.
Previous information
Before making the trip it is good that you investigate those places where you can eat. If the hotel you have booked is gluten free you will not have any problem, if they do not have specifications in this regard you can contact them to explain that you are celiac and check what options they offer you. Today there are many hotels that have alternatives for your breakfasts, gluten-free bread, pastries, they prepare your food in clean oil … Don’t worry about anything, just to enjoy yourself. Also investigate restaurants or places where they have gluten-free products so as not to waste too much time when you arrive at your destination.
Your suitcase
An emergency kit in your suitcase never hurts. Some cookies, some bread or whatever you want. It never hurts and it is better to get healthy in case when you arrive at your destination it will take you long to find a supermarket that has gluten-free things. They are the "porsiacas" of celiacs.
Cards in different languages
As a celiac and lactose intolerant, I tell you one of the things that has helped me the most in my travels: the cards in other languages. There are web pages where you will find small texts written in different languages where it is explained that you are celiac and all that this entails (what you cannot eat, how they have to cook it, etc). I have used them and I recommend that you carry some printed in your bag during the trip, they help a lot.
Share information
On the Internet you will find a lot of information that other people share about their own trips , with places where you can find that wonderful gluten-free sponge cake or the best Italian pizza for celiacs. Consult blogs and forums, write down the recommendations or consult specific doubts. And share your own experiences too. Everything helps.
