Traveling with Celiac

Traveling with celiac is really draining. Trying to find food you can eat, feeling like a burden to the people you're traveling with, and worrying about having a reaction that spoils the trip.

Indeed! It's especially challenging for those whose jobs require them to travel and eat out, often in the context of business meetings. I'm glad I'm retired and don't have to deal with that. And my family is very supportive and flexible.

I agree, but am not willing to stop travelling do to celiac disease--or eating at restaurants. I realize some people do make choices not to do those things, but for me those things are just too important.

We have a section on gluten-free travel:

      Advantages vs. Disadvantages of having an official Celiac diagnosis

      By JA917 · Posted

      Question re: life/health insurance: if you're already under these policies, do you have to notify them if you receive an official diagnosis, or is that only for new policies?  I have had two active term life insurance policies for many years that I pay a set amount into.  And my employer covers my health insurance.  So, do I need to let them both know if I do become officially diagnosed?  I'm glad I read this, because that would certainly be marked off in the "disadvantage" box for me!

      My 5 months of Struggle

      I'm new here so I'm not sure if I'm allowed to recommend doctors?  But I am in Manhattan and see Dr. Lauren Schwartz at Manhattan Gastroenterology.  I am still in the process of (potentially) being diagnosed and she has been wonderful.  She has experience in Celiac and has a very calming bedside manner.  I feel confident I'll get the right diagnosis with her.  Give her a try if she takes your insurance.  Good luck!

      Feeling ill

      By Whyz · Posted

      Not knowing how long I have to wait for a hospital appointment for the intestine and biopsy seems to make things worse. The thing is if you have headaches you take pain killers, isn’t there anything that I can do?.

      Working in a kitchen with gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the forum. Can we assume that you've been diagnosed with celiac disease and have been on a gluten-free diet for a while? If so, it sounds like you may be in the super sensitive group, as others here have reported similar issues when working in bakeries, pizzerias, etc. Until you find other work, and perhaps don't have roommates who cook gluten foods, you may need to consider wearing an N95 mask to avoid breathing in any particles.
