I'm traveling to Aruba to attend a wedding. I'm nervous about travel with celiac in general, but I'm terrified of getting sick on an island. Should I just plan to not eat anything at the wedding celebration? Should I reach out to the venue to ask what their capabilities are? Wondering how others have navigated this...  Many thanks in advance!

We are vegetarian and my daughter has celiac, so it is very difficult when we travel. We have found that most resorts do cater to people with allergies. I usually will call ahead to find out if they have gluten free menu and if they have a dedicated kitchen. If it is an Airbnb, then you have the option to cook few meals and one can eat veggies and fruits.

Thank you so much! I emailed the hotel, and they said they cater to all kinds of dietary restrictions and alerted the events manager for the wedding. I'm still planning to bring my Gliadin X, but I am profoundly relieved. I hated the thought of the hosts wasting their money on me!

      This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      I'm not in any clinical trials, can I ask why you are so focused on this particular one? There are now several celiac disease potential treatment drugs undergoing clinical trials.

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      By DebJ14 · Posted

      I did well on gluten-free, but continued to have issues a year down the road.  Testing for food allergies and sensitivities revealed severe IgE allergies to yeast and dairy as well as food sensitivities to 23 other foods.  I got better after taking out those foods, but it was not until the doctor recommended I go completely grain free did all my issues resolve.  No oats, corn, rice etc. for me for the past 10 years or so.  I am actually better at 72 than I was in my 40's!
