I've been to Italy recently for a wedding and it was excellent. I made my own gluten-free sandwiches/pannini to take on the flights.  Spain is good and you can get good gluten-free breads in the supermarkets there. The UK and Ireland are very good also. Australia would be good since Coeliac Disease is fairly common there ...1 in 70 as opposed to 1 in 100 in other countries. You have to advocate for yourself in restaurants when eating out. I've read about several Coeliacs being cross contaminated from preordered gluten-free meals on airlines. Personally, I wouldn't trust a gluten-free meal on an airline especially long haul. Try the hashtag celiactravel on tiktok and instagram. Loads of Coeliacs posting about their experiences with plenty travel tips. The Atly app has a list of gluten-free friendly restaurants worldwide.

"Do not follow after the crowd to do what is bad." Bible. The world is full of crazy people who have little love for their neighbor. Eat what is best for you and ignore their recommendations. 

I do have chronic pain in my back & sciatic nerve. The IC causes great pressure & pain In my pelvis. I am hoping that gluten free diet will reduce the inflammation & therefore, reduce my pain. 

Hello, For those of you who have been brave enough to travel, do you have any tips? I am interested in Western Europe, Australia and Africa. Does anyone know if any particular country is Celiac friendly? How do you navigate eating when traveling? TIA.

Thanks, @knitty kitty.  I've been tested and don't have it, but there is certainly something odd going on.  If I get indigestion that can set off palpitations, my sister has that too.
