Hi everyone,

Just checking to see if anyone out there knows if there's any celiac disease Cruises planned for 2005 or any celiac disease conventions planned in the Southeast? We live in Orlando, FL and would really like to go. It would be nice to have a celiac disease only Cruise and not worry about what you're eating. Also have cooking classes and exchange receipes. It would be worth almost any cost. :unsure:

Thanks, Jean (Wife of a Celiac)

Well, we booked thru Hotwire, and we booked just a couple of days ago for a cruise leaving tomorrow.

We are cruising out of Orlando with Carnival Glory ship. Hotwire was supposed to let Carnival know that I need a gluten-free diet, and I was told that would not be a problem. I am going to make sure I see the Head Waiter to make sure that everything is under control.

I have several snacks in my lugage, so, if necessary, I can eat those things if there are not many choices on board. With so many choices for food, I would think that I can survive!

I would be very interested in a celiac disease cruise! This is our first time in Orlando. Actually the 2nd, but, the first, we didn't even have to change planes. 26 minutes of flight time from Ft. Lauderdale, and like 4 hours on the highway!

Anyway, we are here in the Raddison and can see the cruise yard from our window, out in the lovely Cape Canaveral.

Glad I checked here before we embark on our ship. I was on a curise last April, but, was not aware that celiac disease was why I always got sick after eating. I never had this before a couple of years ago. My MD had said to lay off bread, but, I didn't even consider or realize that this meant anything breaded, crackers, pasta, etc. etc. So, my last cruise, I spent part of it really sick in the bathroom. Now I know why, and hopefully, this cruise will be a better one.

Maybe we should all get together and write some curise companies to see if some sort of "food allergy" specialty cruise could be arranged.

      Be sure to search our articles, we've covered some of these:     You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      Welcome to the forum, Brianne03! It is relatively easy, as you have discovered, to identify gluten-free products when considering only intentional ingredients but it can be much more difficult or impossible to get definitive answers about cross contamination. Does your daughter fall into the supersensitive category of celiacs? That is, does she have definite reactions to very small amounts of gluten exposure? If not, you might do well to just focus on listed ingredients and not worry too much about CC (cross contamination). In the things you list, gum and cough drops are probably the biggest concern. Most chewing gums have wheat starch in them. But some don't. My practice is to include the terms "gluten free" in my Amazon searches for those kinds of products. As to medications, this might be helpful but CC can not be ruled out with generic drugs:  http://www.glutenfreedrugs.com/list.htm

      Our 17 year old daughter was recently diagnosed with Celiac and we haven't had any real education from her doctor yet; we are waiting for an upcoming appointment, so I've been trying to navigate and educate myself on my own. There are multiple products my daughter uses, such as medications, cough drops, chapstick, gum, etc. that do not contain gluten containing ingredients, but the manufacturers have not labeled the items gluten-free due to processing in a place that might pose a risk of cross contact or maybe not wanting to pay to test their products. How do we safely handle this? Is it a matter of comfortability or reaction?
