I will be traveling to ocean city, maryland in a few days. We will be staying in a room with a kitchen so I can do my own cooking but I was wondering if I should take my own food or are there good options in the grocery stores there? I can find info on the restaurants there but not on the stores.

When I travel I usually take my own toaster and I don't use the microwave in the room to avoid cross-contamination.  I do not use their dishes, cutlery or pots/pans.  I take a couple $ 1 store dishes and my own cutlery and a tiny cutting board.  

 

I sometimes can't find gluten free items easily at my destination, so I take some stuff with me.  I pack 1 box cereal, 2 loaves gluten-free bread, 1 pkg ginger snaps.  I buy fresh veggie and fruit trays at my destination.  I also buy packaged salad and I do take my own gluten-free salad dressing and some of my own condiments. 

 

If I'm at a hotel, I take a couple hard boiled eggs at breakfast and make myself some egg salad sandwiches.  I pack tiny cheese bars, an apple  and I make a ham sandwich and store this  in my insulated lunch bag so I have something on hand when I tour.  I stick an ice pack in with it to keep it cool along with a bottle of water.

 

Good luck!

      Can you please educate me regarding my recent test results. Ive been gluten free for years. Recent deamidated gliadin Abs, IgA result is 0.9/‘not detected’ but deamidated gliadin Abs, IgG is 26.6/abnormal high. (Normal range is <15.0) So…what can this indicate?

      @LookingForAnswers101Ooh I can also eat coconut, and probably because the ingredients are so highly processed I can eat gluten free bread even though it contains ingredients I can’t usually tolerate. I’m currently trying high lectin foods that've been through a pressure cooker but not much luck so far, pressure cooked mashed potatoes are fine but needs to be cooked completely soft. Hopefully you’ll have more luck than me.

      The positive Anti-deamidated Gliadin IgA result (12 U/ml) suggests possible celiac disease, but it is not definitive on its own, as this marker can also be elevated in other conditions or even in non-coeliac gluten sensitivity (NCGS). Do you know if they also ran a tTg-Iga test? This is the definitive test for celiac disease. The absence of classical symptoms like significant bloating or pain upon gluten reintroduction, along with your history of IBS and sensitivity to legumes, complicates the picture (legumes can be cross-contaminated with wheat). While celiac disease remains a possibility, other conditions like NCGS, leaky gut, or additional food intolerances could also explain your symptoms. A biopsy would provide more conclusive evidence for celiac disease, but for that you need to be eating lots of gluten daily in the weeks leading up to the endoscopy. In the meantime, adopting a gluten-free diet and supporting gut health with supplements (e.g., probiotics, L-glutamine) may help reduce inflammation and symptoms, but it’s important to consult a healthcare professional to tailor your approach and rule out other underlying issues. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
