How to be a celiac guest at destination wedding

I'm traveling to Aruba to attend a wedding. I'm nervous about travel with celiac in general, but I'm terrified of getting sick on an island. Should I just plan to not eat anything at the wedding celebration? Should I reach out to the venue to ask what their capabilities are? Wondering how others have navigated this...  Many thanks in advance!

We are vegetarian and my daughter has celiac, so it is very difficult when we travel. We have found that most resorts do cater to people with allergies. I usually will call ahead to find out if they have gluten free menu and if they have a dedicated kitchen. If it is an Airbnb, then you have the option to cook few meals and one can eat veggies and fruits.

Thank you so much! I emailed the hotel, and they said they cater to all kinds of dietary restrictions and alerted the events manager for the wedding. I'm still planning to bring my Gliadin X, but I am profoundly relieved. I hated the thought of the hosts wasting their money on me!

      Have you had a DNA test to look for the most commonly occurring Celiac genes?   There's some scientific evidence that Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity is a precursor to Celiac Disease in genetically predisposed people. Which foods do you react to?  How do you react?

      You are right, I just feel I may have not been on top of it and Ive caused damage for years without knowing. Seems like nothing though?

      No, one crumb from a month before the blood test would not materially affect the results of the test. I sense you are devoting a lot more "worry energy" to this than it deserves. That will do you more harm than a tick over normal on the TTG-IGA score.

      Sometimes I have a bit of stomach, discomfort, anxiety, tiredness, and soreness but nothing that stops by normal day to day activities. I work a ton and am very active so likely it is related to that and not my celiac but unsure with everyone's symptoms and stories I see online.  I will definitely start doing this every year from now on. Could one crumb of gluten from a month before that blood test caused that spike ? I am trying to really trace back and think
