Yucatan peninsula and buffet advice

This will be my first trip away from home after my diagnosis last year. We are spending 2 weeks in Puerto Aventuras and Cozumel. Most of our vacation will be spent in resorts and I'm hoping for some basic overall advice on avoiding cross contamination. My Spanish is strong enough to convey my concerns in restaurants but the all-inclusive buffets are anxiety provoking! How have you dealt with this? TIA!

By not going.  Or by bringing my own food.

Have you contacted them?  I have heard that a lot of these resorts are doing a good job of gluten-free.  

If you have to eat at buffets, get a chef to show you what is actually gluten-free.  They might get you some fresh from the kitchen . Or you might find there is no gluten .  For example, you might find a nice salad bar and the only gluten is in croutons placed at the end.  Or a taco bar with no gluten at all.

I actually prefer buffets when traveling because you can usually find things that are safe. Consider taking enzymes with you like GliadinX (they are a sponsor here), as they are designed to help with inadvertent cross contamination. Ask questions to the chef and have fun! Merida is great, don’t miss Uxmal or Chitzen Itza!

      How to choose a Naturopath for 6yr old

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @jadeceoliacuk, Has your son been tested for nutritional deficiencies?  Celiac Disease causes malabsorption of essential nutrients which can result in nutritional deficiencies.  Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals is beneficial.   I would find a nutritionist more knowledgeable about Celiac and ASD, before taking herbal supplements that don't contain essential vitamins. Interesting Reading: Relationship between Vitamin Deficiencies and Co-Occurring Symptoms in Autism Spectrum Disorder https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7279218/   Autistic Spectrum Disorder, Mitochondria, and Nutrient Deficiencies https://hormonesmatter.com/autistic-spectrum-disorder-asd-mitochondria-nutrients/   Relationship between Vitamin Deficiencies and Co-Occurring Symptoms in Autism Spectrum Disorder https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7279218/ Keep us posted on your progress!

      Gluten Ataxia

      By Dawn R. · Posted

      There doesn't seem to be much information about the effects of Gluten Ataxia in this forum.  I was diagnosed with Celiacs Disease but never had typical gluten symptoms.  My symptoms were all ataxic.
