Also try Googling--some cards are online and you can print them for free (not as good as the ones you buy, however).<br/><br/>

Travel---and eat gluten-free! I've been to Peru, Spain & Portugal (and that means airplane travel) since I realized I need a Gluten Free diet, and in many of these places it's been easier to get a meal than in the USA, as celiac is better known overseas than it is here. Three pieces of advice: 1.check out the local Gluten Free org's website for restaurants and stores (and print out local maps of a few of them). 2. Use them; and 3. have a local language card that explains the situation--you can tell pretty easily if it's understood or not.<br/><br/>

I was on a tour and so had the benefit of a program director to talk with a local person. However, I often needed to take care of myself in a restaurant. I took the language card from Jax Peters Lowell's the gluten-free bible (she has many different languages) and generally, did very well. I highlighted the part that asks to talk with a chef if they do not understand the request. I did take quite a few protein bars with me to use when I wasn't sure. I also requested the international airline to make gluten-free meals. In Finland they knew what this was about and even brought me gluten-free bread!<br/><br/>

Besides, other cuisines are not as based on wheat as ours.
When traveling in Spain and Uruguay, my son had no trouble finding gluten-free food. It's here in the US, that's difficult, because US doctors have been busy stating that celiac disease is rare here.<br/><br/>
