Italy and Paris actually have a lot of dedicated Gluten Free restaurants, bakeries/kitchen spaces. Celiac is also ironically really prevalent in Italians
Italy is actually one of the easiest non-western countries to travel gluten free - the supermarkets there have a pasta aisle and one half of it is all GF pastas! Coeliac here who has travelled the world. Hardest part of travel was certain areas of Asia, where many meals are contaminated with soy sauce and a lot of things like the rice are contaminated with wheat to bulk it up. I was glutened in Iceland because the mushrooms that were the basis of the mushroom soup were farm fresh. So farm fresh - they were grown on wheat stalk mulch. A lot of good tips in this video. My backup in Portugal and Spain is McDonalds because they do GF burgers. I had at least one meal a day in maccas there to keep me going.
Very helpful advice! I cannot eat any grains, any dairy or eggs, which makes it very difficult. Even the gluten-free rice bothers me and many gf breads are made with rice flour and eggs. Breakfast is especially challenging when traveling. When I fly, I almost always bring my own food with me and snacks and when I travel, I also bring some of my own spices and crackers and a gf pasta i can tolerate (believe it or not it is made in Italy).
Scandinavian countries are the most gluten free friendly. All restaurants have to have 30% of menu gf and all options available: soups salads main dishes and starters and desserts , drinks. Also they have a very clear markings. And they take it seriously.
I was diagnosed with the celiac disease as well as lactose intolerance 😂 now I should look for “gluten & lactose free” options 😂 fun 🤩 traveling to big places with supermarkets and restaurants in the area is okay, but all inclusive hotels such as in Turkey are definitely limited.
I feel like the most complicated part of this is 'traveling with people who get it' lol it would be nice if there was an app or something to meet people who are also celiac that love to travel. Its hard when people are like 'oh a little should be fine'.... thanks for the info about the toaster bags! I had no idea!
“Just because your diet is limited doesnt mean your life has to be” your words are so heartwarming..❤ thank you for this helpful video truly it has helped me a lot..
Oh my word, GIRL!! THIS WAS SO HELPFUL! I coulda used a lot of this advice before my trip last month (I’m still recovering…it was a doozy 😖). I was diagnosed about a year ago, & just when I think I’ve got this whole celiac life figured out, something always(ALWAYS) goes awry. I’m so happy I found your channel. You’re a godsend! ❤️
Hi Robyn -- I live in China, and while you are definitely correct that a lot of the information on your 'Celiac Disease' card is mainly more effective, in China no one really knows what that means, but the word for 'allergy' is a lot more effective when eating out. I am not sure how this goes in other countries, but the strategy of translating what you CAN eat has been far better for me! Great tips though, thank you!
Thank you for this video. I am planning a trip to the UK, from the US. I am so comfortable finding food at home but want to travel. So glad I found this channel!
Good tips, thanks! On a recent trip to Europe, I found Croatia, Netherlands, England and Ireland very good to travel in with lots of gluten-free choices in restaurants and stores. For Italy, I don’t speak Italian so I went with a small tour group and our excellent guide communicated with all restaurants ahead of time to make sure gluten-free options were available. Although I speak French, I found smaller towns in France endlessly frustrating. Many restaurants had no gluten free options and wouldn’t accommodate even simple changes to their menu. Night after night in many places I ended up eating canned mackerel in a mustard sauce, gluten free crackers and fresh nectarines back at my hotel. I had to stock up on gluten free foods wherever I could find them because, again in smaller towns there simply were no good options and no willingness on the part of restaurant staff to help. In larger towns, once I found a restaurant with good gluten-free choices I tended to go back to it rather than spend hours searching for an alternative. Often hotel staff were good at pointing me towards nearby restaurants with gluten-free choices. In Cuba, chicken, rice and beans were the main gluten free options, but often the only gluten free options. Have to say China is just too hard so no plans to travel there, ever.
You are right about China. I am Chinese living in Europe and my son is celiac, It really sucks when i took him back to china. I had to take all the gluten free snacks with me. and my mother forced her grandson once to eat the food with a relative because she thinks it losing face not even move the chopsticks.Really frustrating!
The Mediterranean coast of Spain also proved to be excellent for gluten free food choices. Great Paella and lots of seafoods, meats, veggies, sauces and snacks that were gluten free.
I also found Sweden and Denmark to be rich with gluten free food choices. As with the Netherlands, nearly every waiter speaks English and can guide a traveller toward safe choices.
Hello Robyn, I’m new to your videos and am really enjoying your practical approach to the costs and disappointments of dealing with all the life challenges of GF. I have travelled to France with GF challenges and found many foods I could enjoy. French cuisine is heavily based on fresh produce meats and very good dairy options, loved their egg breakfasts with coffee , fresh fruit salad and delicious cheese. I thought it would be hard to enjoy my trip not having croissants, eclairs but I found two truly GF boulangeries where I enjoyed the most delicious croissants and even had a delicious chocolate eclair and of course macaroons, and chocolate mousse and Creme brûlée, so there was no feeling of missing out on French cuisine while enjoying so many thrills not only in Paris but also Bayeux out on the English Channel as well. Real chocolate mousse and Creme Brule’e were the most memorable, for certain but it was a real surprise when I was able to ascertain that I could have a real croissant in Paris and it was amazing! And no reaction!
Hi Robyn - this is Flor from Argentina. Thank you for this video, I found it really helpful. I especially appreciate tip #9 and your message on how we can shift our mindset to enjoy travelling despite food limitations. I'll start using all my other senses to enjoy regular food in a different way! Cheers! P.S. the toaster bags, what an amazing item!
Great video, I have one tip that can be crucial well it was for my most recent trip, a hospital. Make sure someone brings you in food as it can be an nightmare trying to eat when you suddenly take ill, and having to be admitted to a hospital. One trip that you do not get a chance too prepare for.🤢
I am so glad i was diagnosed only AFTER i traveled to Italy. I cannot imagine going to Italy and not be able to eat their bread and pasta and pizza! Now the biggest dilemma is going to be on cruises. Im a huge cruiser and it makes me sad to think i won't be free to eat anything and everything on the ship (which is the main reason why i love to cruise - THE FOOD). I am a huge world traveler and newly diagnosed Celiac - so watching this video is bitter/sweet. It made me sad knowing what I have to go through from now on - forever - but also grateful to have these tips. (the reason why i travel so much is FOR THE FOOD - so you can imagine how depressed this is making me). Urgh.....thanks for sharing with such uplifting attitude!! It's encouraging to see your happiness and positive attitude through this!!!
I'm a diagnosed celiac (15 years) and I have been on numerous cruises. I have never had any trouble eating gluten free on a cruise. Breakfast and lunch I go to the casual cafeteria style food. They always have a lot of gluten free foods; eggs, bacon, ham, sausage, coffee, juice, fruit, etc. for breakfast. You can also bring things like instant gluten free grits or oatmeal and have breakfast delivered to your cabin (order eggs, a breakfast meat, coffee, juice, and a pot of hot water to use with your instant cereal. For lunch it's back to the cafeteria and a meat or chicken selection (just be careful about any sauces), salad, potatoes, veggies, and of course the unending available ice cream (I have never had a reaction to the Vanilla). For dinner in the dinning room I can always find something on the menu. Ask to speak to the head water or chef before ordering and explain your allergy and they can help you with your selection. I have found that generally leaving off the sauces or gravies on fish (baked or grilled, not fried), chicken, or meat entree as well as on any vegetables, rice, or potatoes makes them gluten free. Add butter to them instead of sauces or gravy. Salad, no croutons and stick with oil and vinegar as a dressing is safe. I try and get sorbet or an Italian ice for dessert. And best of all, wine and whiskey are gluten free. You will probably have to skip the beer unless they happen to have some specialized gluten free beer. Tip, Corona light beer is gluten free, but they don't certify it as such. I have never had a problem with it. Everyone with Celiac disease has their own set of reactions to an accidental intake of gluten. My reaction is diarrhea. I have learned I can quickly stop it with Imodium AD, which I always carry with me. Don't let your Celiac diagnosis keep you from traveling, learn to manage it.
@Kaisha Gauderman how do you know ? That's what I heard about Cuba and recently went and ate all the bread I wanted...thinking the gluten in their wheat was never manipulated in a lab....I got sick but in a different way that I usually do when I eat gluten in America. It was a different reaction
@Bill Laird thank you for the info. I have 2 cruises booked this year and I was a little nervous but honestly I spoke to the rep and reassured me the same as you that there is a good system for people with food allergies. I just love sauces so much haha...I'm a saucy girl. But thank you for the info.
I went to Austin Texas for the 1st time, last October. I was shocked how gluten aware each restaurant I went was. Some restaurants had separate gluten-free menus. I went to a brewery that specialized in pizza. I reluctantly asked if they had wine. They did, and quickly asked if I was requesting wine because I couldn’t have gluten? When I said yes, they told me they had gluten-free pizza they cooked in a separate oven. 🤭 A tiki restaurant that had Asian fusion food, didn’t used soy sauce at all, but coconut amino’s on all foods, because it was easier to avoid cross contamination. At my friend’s wedding there, out all of the dishes, only 1 had gluten. I didn’t check in advance, but my hotel had gluten free breads! With an “s”! I’m not a bread person, but after a day of all the wine, I needed a midnight burger. Hehe! The bun was gluten-free.
Hey Robyn, I am not a ciliac person, and until recently could technically have occasional gluten (as of last night and today had some minor issues which means that I should probably no longer do what my mom suggested and have occasional gluten items) but mom definitely has gone strictly gluten free due to sensitivity and if you're ever in the US (and this is for everyone with ciliac disease or a gluten sensitivity) there's a burger chain called Five Guys that will, if you request it, put the burger makings into a bowl, no bun touching the product, however DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT!!! enter the store if you're allergic to peanuts, the doors to the entrance have warnings about how people with peanut allergies shouldn't enter due to open containers of peanuts, it also means that the fries are not safe for people with peanut allergies in case someone grabs Five Guys to go and wants to offer the fries to others since they use peanut oil in their fryers
Thank you for this video. Im saving up for a 3 week in Scotland. I also have Type 1 Diabetes, soy and nut allergies. I LOOOOVE Harry Potter! Can you message where you went for tea?
Oh my goodness. I’m glad that you made this video. I had a lot of struggling when I’m riding motorcycle on long road trip!!!! So I’m going to watch this and hope to learn something new!!!!! I know I jump to comment first. But will add the updated. 😀
Now updated, after I watched. It’s great tips. Yes, it’s a quite challenging for me because when I rode motorcycle. I rode day by day so it’s hard to plan ahead. Impossible to know which restaurants are cross contamination free. I could packed snacks daily basis. On motorcycle they get really hot or wet so I may have to figure out how to keep it dry and cool. If you know anyone who ride motorcycle who is also gluten free. Please stop by this comment I would love to know more tips. The card is Brilliant so I need to get that for my supper times when I end my riding day before go bed.
Thanks. Ever have issues getting snacks through customs in another country. I’m celliac, nut free and corn free. And a few other foods. Anyone try a toaster bag in a conveyor toaster
Great informative video. Thank you for taking the time really helpful. I did noticed the trinkets. Sounds like you have fabulous memories. Can’t wait until you critique next location for helpful hints.
I have celiac disease, and I always have a reaction to gluten free oreos. My reaction is deep depression and feeling very sad and it takes a few days to feel better. Every single time😮😢
Really informative video. Thanks! Any good gluten free oatmeal brands ? P..S I'm glad you enjoyed your vacation here in London, I hope it's the first of many.
I went to China before my diagnosis, and was sick a couple of times. I just have a hard time imagining how to navigate the food there. Did you shop at grocery stores? Were you able to pack enough food on your international flight?
Equal eats seems cool but I can't imagine paying for words on paper at a price of $10 per plus I print it myself. Yikes. I'd rather print my own with a translator or something. I feel like I could have someone on fiver do it and save half the cost at least. Cool idea though.
The other thing that's good is wheat is high oxalate. I mean very high oxalate! It may suck to have to avoid it but, Oxalate dumping sucks! And probably feels as bad as DH. It's like killing two birds with one stone. It also creates Kidney stones.
In New York City there are gluten-free options popping up everywhere. It's a little more expensive but I always get it just to avoid waking up the next day feeling itchy. lol. The only thing I don't like are the arguments. Attitude when I say not everybody likes wheat.
Orgain is GF .. And used by bodybuilders.. You can probably order some while you're there or take them with you. They come in a four pack. They taste really good to. And are organic. It's rare for stuff like muscle milk. And it's way better than ensure. I don't even think Ensure is gluten-free. To me it's better than peanuts because they're high oxalate.
She reminds me of Emma Stone. Man being 25% Irish kind of sucks. I don't have celiac but DH is just as painful if not worse. It just doesn't kill you well until you take your own life. And that's how bad I can a test it felt to me. Dapsone was a Miracle. I basically only have minor symptoms. But no more pain.
And that's only because I've only gone up to 200 mg.. Once I go to 300 they'll probably go away the minor blemishes. But it's strange for them to look so minor but it affects your entire being down to your soul. lol.
Dapsone is a leprosy drug, But it just happens to work for DH. There are other ones you can take but they're not as effective. I mean as soon as I took it the next day the pain was gone! And the mark started clearing up in three days.
Like I used to go get pizza and I'm like why is my skin burning? I thought it was hard water. So I got a water softener but let me tell you it did help the DH. But Id still have the symptoms. It was also making me sleep because it was so painful I was just like your skin is putting in major work and the strange thing about it is if the wind blows on some hair while the hair registers the wrong speed. And this will happentine to time sometimes the entire body. Very strange.
Great video, with humour and you need a sense of humour with Coeliac. UK is so much better now than when I was first diagnosed, still expensive though!

Thanks for recommending Equal Eats. I didn’t realize I could customize the cards for multiple allergies in addition to celiac.
You ate so inspiring. I get really down with my allergies and it can be quite difficult. But you make it so light hearted. Thank you for the tips. ❤

Touring Italy was fabulous. Just say gluten-free with no additional information. Gluten-free free pasta almost everywhere.
I’m going in TWO WEEKS and I’m so excited!! 🤩 Thanks for your comment!

Italy is actually one of the safest places for celiacs! I really want to go just so I can stuff my face and feel like a normal person for once.
