Travel and Gluten-free Food

I have travelled, but finding safe foods on my trips has been TERRIBLY difficult:  Lost an average of 15 lbs per trip due to literally going without at times--Western Euro. nations.  Granted, I am both gluten- and corn- (and corn-products) restricted, adding more challenge.

Regarding eating out:  Shout-out to Denny's cooks, and those at mom-and-pop diners!  ❤️ Often, these lovely folk really listen & respect food issues and one can get a safe omelette done in safe oil in a just-cleaned pan, and a side of fruit or steamed plain veggies.

It is possible to get gluten-free meals at restaurants, but there is always a risk of contamination. 

If you eat outside your home, you may want to consider taking AN-PEP enzymes with a meal, as there have been many studies done on AN-PEP which show that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches your intestines. One of our sponsors here, GliadinX is the original brand to include AN-PEP, and has links to the studies on AN-PEP their site:

      Hi I’m Sammie

      Celiac Disease has a genetic component. There have been two primary genes (HLDQ2 and HLDQ8) identified with the development of celiac disease and some other secondary genes. About 40% of the general population has one or more of these genes and, therefore, has the potential to develop active celiac disease but only about 1% of the general population actually...

      Hi I’m Sammie

      Hi Sammy, Welcome aboard. I hate to tell you this, but Celiac is genetic. Somewhere back in the family line someone had it. It was common for it to go undiagnosed years back. My Mom was never diagnosed with it, but suffered with many of the same symptoms I had when I was finally diagnosed at age 56. Silent Celiac may be in your family. I'm sure others...

      Tylenol works fir me. Try fasting 16-24:)hours. A little chicken soup (home made). Soft boiled egg. My mother called them "coddled" eggs. She ate them fron a small drinking glass. Been watching depression cooking videos. I have come to the conclusion that when we Americans began to replace potatos with grains we all became sick and many overweight. Back to...

      Hi I’m Sammie

      Welcome to the forum, @SammieCook! It is very difficult to avoid cross contamination when other family members are not eating gluten free. But it is imperative that you double down on your own efforts in that area. Also, studies show that somewhere between 10% and almost 50% of those with active celiac disease have celiac disease themselves, even if...

About 40% of the general population has one or more of these genes and, therefore, has the potential to develop active celiac disease but only about 1% of the general population actually develops active celiac disease. The development of active celiac disease requires not only the genetic potential but some kind of biological stress element that activates the genes.

      Hi Sammy,  Welcome aboard.  I hate to tell you this, but Celiac is genetic.  Somewhere back in the family line someone had it.  It was common for it to go undiagnosed years back.  My Mom was never diagnosed with it, but suffered with many of the same symptoms I had when I was finally diagnosed at age 56.  Silent Celiac may be in your family.   I'm sure others will chime in with more info.

But it is imperative that you double down on your own efforts in that area. Also, studies show that somewhere between 10% and almost 50% of those with active celiac disease have celiac disease themselves, even if they don't exhibit classic symptoms. Many are "silent" celiacs. I hope your family's stomach flu passes (excuse the pun) quickly. Viral infections can be the trigger that activates the celiac genes and turns the potential for it into the active form.
