Anyone Reading From Puerto Vallarta Mexico?

[Zoeysfat]

I have never started a topic, but we are goin to PV for the holidays and I am trying to find other english speaking Celiacs in or around the area - I am desperately going to need help with food while I am there and do not have a clue where to go. I don't speak or read spanish. If anyone who reads this can give me another website to go to or some help, I would really appreciate it. With soo many americans and candians living there, there has got to be SOMEONE with this disease who can give me some pointers! Please source those think tanks of yours and get back to me!

You don't need to speak Spanish to get along in PV, Mexico. That is a highly developed resort area with many people that know the English language/at least enough that you can get your point across as to what your needs are. I went to Nuevo Vallarta, which is just outside PV,last spring for a week with my familiy. My granddaughter has celiac disease and I have a gluten intolerance and we got along just great---my son't family did have a kitchen in their place. We were staying at a time share resort and my husband and I ate out for all of our meals. Some of them we ate off menu and some were are buffets. Stick with fresh fruit and veggies, grilled meats, corn tortillas and just talk to your server to see what is on everything that you order. There is a WalMart with a grocery store in PV....you can go there and buy food to have in your room to supplement. Do not let the food situation hinder that fact that you are in that beautiful place....just go and enjoy the ocean. Barbara
