I do hope there are some people with experiance because we are thinking the same thing but with the experience of the food a couple of years ago when our son was not born at that time we've all had a lot of diarree and we were not even gluten-free! So now with our son with celiac we are also thinking if it's possible to go to an all inclusive resort.

Any way for you it is possible to come to Aruba,we have a couple of All inclusive's and you can email them with diet wishes!

I'm going to an all-inclusive on Monday, so I'll let you know when I get back how it went. :)

The basic premise of "all inclusive" always seems to me to be providing the minimum possible.

I used to travel though Tunisia when I worked in Libya (due to the air embargo) and I was often put up in all-inclusive hotels overnight. My experiences were all bad, even not being on the all-inclusive rate and my company paying normal rates... and the people seemed to come from sifferent countries every year, to me it seemed like the attitude was lets rip off these tourists this year and next year advertise in a different country.

If forced between the two I would think Cuba would be better since it has a long standing relationship with Canadian tourists and has one of the worlds best medical systems and standards of education. The main problem we seem to find travelling is often education based.... IMHO

Ok I wanted to open this thread back up and ask if anyone has gone to an all-inclusive resort down south before. I am planning on going to the Dominican Republic and staying at the Ocean Blue & Sand Golf and Beach Resorts. Anyone have any ideas?

We ended up going on a cruise with Carnival because we couldn't get straight answers from anyone.

The cruise was great and very accomodating for my hubby. Each day they provided him with fresh gluten-free bread, he pre-ordered for the next day & recieved "melting chocolate cake" every night for dessert...which tasted just like mine & is heavenly.

      Of all the countries I have visited in Europe, Asia, and the Americas, I have found eating out in Ireland to be the safest for celiacs. Most restaurants have all allergens (up to 14 different ones) identified on their menus, including wheat and gluten. I have found staff at restaurants to be very knowledgeable regarding gluten and cross-contamination compared to most other countries. Restaurant staff (including management) in Ireland even tried dissuading me from eating some items labeled 'gluten-free' on the menu, fearing that there could be risk of minuscule cross-contamination. Many of the hotels have fresh baked gluten-free breads, pastries, and cakes at their breakfast buffet, something unheard of in most U.S hotels. These are clearly labeled and well separated from gluten-containing items. There are also quite a few gluten-free desserts to satisfy one's sweet tooth.  With everything said and done, the meats and dairy products are simply delicious and worth trying. Overall, I would give dining out in Ireland five stars for celiac safety and quality.

      No, I meant two years ago when you had your most recent upper GI scope.

      yes it was very notable during the pre diagnosis of coeliacs in fact it was all the time.

      Hello everyone, I am a young adult living with both Celiac disease and achalasia. I am looking for some inspiration to start raising awareness for people with Celiac disease on instagram. Please reach out to me if you have any tips and ideas on what is important to share to the world.
