Yes, all products labelled "gluten-free" are considered safe for those with celiac disease. My family regularly uses Trader Joe's gluten-free products without issues, including their bagels, buns, breads, tortillas, frozen pizzas, etc...

I recently had to travel to India for work, my first trip outside North America since my diagnosis three years ago. I stayed at the JW Marriott in Delhi and the Marriott Hotel in Indore (Central India). Initially, I was apprehensive regarding...

Be careful with nuts. They are often processed on the same machines with gluten containing items so there can be CC. It may only apply to the more sensitive celiacs, however.

Yes, fresh fruit would be great. Forgot about that! When I was first diagnosed, fresh fruit was harder to find in American hotels. (Not to mention close relatives' homes!) Even 7-11 has fresh fruit now! Total progress.

@I.M.Celiac these are very helpful tips for a traveler; thank you! I have tried most of these and KIND bars have always been my go-to snack. I would also like to add two other restaurant chains where I have had safe dining experiences:...

Here's a cheat sheet for Celiac Travels in America:
Sad vending machines in waiting rooms:
-nuts (Not trail mix)
-Skittles
-Some potato chips (only if you know they are gluten-free because you've had them...

I always check and have never found gluten in mustard or ketchup. You have to watch out for brown sauce (HP Sauce or Daddies Sauce) as they contain rye flour.

I have taken one or two Gliadinx before every meal away from home since I was diagnosed with Celiac, and swear by this stuff.  It is for small amounts of cross contamination only, but still, a great relief when it allows you to enjoy ...

Helen Vajk, thank you for the valuable travel tips; much appreciated. I knew about S. America and their preference for quinoa. I always travel with a backpack full of KIND gluten-free bars and other snacks.

@Magdalen, I generally avoid buffets in restaurants, especially if there is any bakery item around. The only items I am comfortable consuming at a breakfast buffet are hard boiled eggs, fruit and yogurt.

A buffet would have it's risks from cross contamination, especially if you are a sensitive celiac.

I have to Strongly disagree about the buffet; buffets are a cross-contamination nightmare. Serving utensils get swapped from one dish to another, and bits of food from one dish can easily get dropped into adjacent dishes.
NEVER eat...

I eat toblerone regularly. It seems to be on the OK list for celiacs in my country and I have the impression that we all eat it here. I don't know if anyone contacted the company or if they just assume it's ok because of the list of ingredients...

@Scott Adams, thank you for the reply. I too checked their website, but not much about allergens or gluten can be found. Since Toblerone is one of my weaknesses, I have occasionally eaten a few triangles with no reaction whatsoever. However...

I sometimes eat it and have had no reaction. Of course this does not guarantee that it is 100% gluten-free, or that a small batch could not be contaminated.
Unfortunately their web site give no additional info (https://www.mondelezinternational...

@Scott Adams, that's exactly what I thought at the time. I should have hung around the kitchen...but am much the wiser now.

Maybe they just removed the croutons...wouldn't be the first time!

@Yvonne Casey, Sorry to hear about your experience. I have been eating out quite often these last few months and except for one occasion have not suffered any serious symptoms. On that occasion I was terribly disappointed because the...

I was diagnosed with Celiacs a year ago this August.  I was so sick for years of not being diagnosed or being misdiagnosed…so of course I’ve done everything that I need to do to stay gluten-free.  For months we have not gone out to ea...

@Scott Adams, I agree on the risk of cross-contamination. I am usually comfortable eating out if the restaurant has a dedicated fryer and/or a dedicated gluten-free cooking space in their kitchen. However, such places are really hard...

Try Canyon Bakehouse Gluten Free Heritage Style Honey White. It's not Wonder Bread but pretty good. Good taste and mouth feel. Keep it frozen. Nuke the frozen slices for a minute and let cool. It makes a nice sandwich. If you are Celiac...

Any time you eat out there is a risk of cross-contamination. I still eat out, but always discuss my order with the server, and sometimes the chef, beforehand. I also take AN-PEP based enzymes (an advertiser here) that may help mitigate...

For around 3 years now I've been taking GliadinX whenever I eat in restaurants. Full disclosure, they are an advertiser here, but before they became an advertiser I had already read studies on AN-PEP enzymes and their ability to break...

I've had discussions with the owner of GliadinX and taking 2-3 pills will not cause any issues, besides making it more expensive for you. I've taken up to 3 when I got accidental gluten exposure, and this product review is about my mother...

Hi,
I just happened to read your questions and I am the founder of GliadinX. 
I would like to mention that there is a major double blind placebo study going on right now. It is going slower than anticipated because of ...
