Gluten-free Honeymoon Suggestions

Hi Everyone,

We are planning a Honeymoon for the fall, October to be exact. For awhile we really wanted to do a cruise and I really had my heart set on Royal Caribbean. With the recent mass-sickness on cruise ships I changed my mind.

So has anyone had a good time and could share it with me. We were looking at Beaches/Sandals, Atlantis. The all-inclusive seems a good route in a way. I was also looking at private bungalows somewhere in the islands.

Any help would be great.

while I wasn't gluten-free at the time of my honeymoon, we did bed-and-breakfasts that had kitchens. worked great, and we could cook our own food.

I just googled "gluten free vacations" and there was quite a selection as well as dining places.

Give it a try :)

I'd still say the cruise is a good idea (they are supposed to be great for gluten-free accomodations).

Disney vacation (we did that, before DX though, and it was a great honeymoon!)

Do a gluten-free resort place. I know there's lots of places out there...I remember reading about a couple of resorts. One in mexico, one in az I think, that were completely gluten-free. Lots of places will accomodate if you give them enough notice. Good luck!

My boyfriend and I have been to Hawaii (Kona, Maui, Kauai) several times and rented condos with a kitchen. It's great because you save a lot of money on breakfast and lunch (because you don't have to go to a restaurant) and you can cook a few dinners. There are many good restaurants on the islands that can accomodate gluten-free meals (however, the best ones are a little expensive).

I wasn't gluten free on my honeymoon but we went to Puerto Viejo de Talamanca in Costa Rica (Carribean side) and the Costan Rrican diet is definitely lacking in gluten- lots of meat, rice, beans. Yummy stuff! Also right near where we stayed were some resorts. An Argentinian steakhouse, a Thai place. Tthere was one Amercan pizza place and the night we ate there, I slep like 18 hours the next day (hadn't put two and two together yet!).

Here's the link to where we stayed......Wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Open Original Shared Link

We went to Disney for our honeymoon. We weren't gluten free back then, but we've been to Disney many times since. There are tons of beaches within driving distance of Kissimmee. There are also a lot of fun, walk-around-holding-hands type things to do there. I highly recommend doing the Cirque du Soleil. It's amazing. Disney is one of the easiest places to eat gluten free. If you stay at one of the nicer resorts they will do gluten free room service also. You don't need to do Disney if you don't want to. Downtown Disney is really fun at night. They have a bunch of nightclubs. Their rum and cokes are safe. It's a pretty neat environment.

When are you guys getting married? Congratulations!

Don't let the media scare you off a cruise. I went on two and had a fabulous time on both of them. The stomach virus that the news likes to talk about on cruise ships is prevalent *anywhere* there are large numbers of people confined to a finite space. Institutions, hospitals, jails, and the like. When I was on the ships I was amazed at how many people would leave the bathroom without washing their hands. Seriously. Who does that?? We carried hand sanitizer in our pockets, didn't touch railings, and didn't do the buffets. After all, those same people with their dirty hands are handling all the utensils. Simple hygienic cautions will make sure you have a great time on a cruise. The best part is that you will have the same waiter and servers for your entire trip, for every meal. You won't need to tell someone every single night that you need to eat gluten free. I'd say if you want to cruise, do it. If you have kids, there are great programs that will keep them busy all day, and they will have a wonderful time. They are safe, and you can relax knowing they are having a great vacation too.

We are getting married in October of this year. I am happy, scared, and how horrible does this sound not all that excited about planning it. I got my dress though!

Thank you everyone for your suggestions. This is a big help!!!!

That's soooooooooooooooo exciting! Congratulations! You know what, I didn't want to plan my wedding either... I actually had my sister in law plan most of it for me. I just couldn't handle anything back then (I wasn't gluten free). Planning just didn't sound like fun to me. So, you're not alone in that boat.

Definitely at least consider Florida. It's beautiful that time of year down there. The weather is so nice and there's SO much to do (relaxing stuff too). Plus, it's a relatively cheap vacation.

Congratulations! I didn't want to plan my wedding either (didn't want to be psycho-bride) but it ended up being relatively easy (well, easier than I thought it was) and I was sick at the time (had celiac but wasn't gluten-free yet). I was the incredible shrinking bride but it was because of celiac, not a diet!

Costa Rica is in rainy season until the end of October. We went at end of Oct/beg. of Nov.

I have my little flower girl picked out, she is a child who when she was 2months old was placed in my home as a foster child (my parents took foster children) she stayed with us until she was almost 3, then got adopted to a very nice couple who live about 15 minutes from my parents. The woman is in a wheelchair, she was hit by a drunk driver when she was 16, she is paralyzed from the waist down. They allow us to see her whenever we want, she is 8 now, she can read and write so she writes me letters all the time. It is a great relationship and I am glad to still be involved in her life. I am trying to find a cute dress for her.

Here is her picture, it is from 2 years ago but she still looks the same. Her name is Leah.

      Bitters for digestion?

      By AnnaNZ · Posted

      I forgot to mention my suspicion of the high amount of glyphosate allowed to be used on wheat in USA and NZ and Australia. My weight was 69kg mid-2023, I went down to 60kg in March 2024 and now hover around 63kg (just after winter here in NZ) - wheat-free and very low alcohol consumption.

      Bitters for digestion?

      By AnnaNZ · Posted

      Hi Jess Thanks so much for your response and apologies for the long delay in answering. I think I must have been waiting for something to happen before I replied and unfortunately it fell off the radar... I have had an upper endoscopy and colonoscopy in the meantime (which revealed 'minor' issues only). Yes I do think histamine intolerance is one of the problems. I have been lowering my histamine intake and feeling a lot better. And I do think it is the liver which is giving the pain. I am currently taking zinc (I have had three low zinc tests now), magnesium, B complex, vitamin E and a calcium/Vitamin C mix. I consciously think about getting vitamin D outside. (Maybe I should have my vitamin D re-tested now...) I am still 100% gluten-free. My current thoughts on the cause of the problems is some, if not all, of the following: Genetically low zinc uptake, lack of vitamin D, wine drinking (alcohol/sulphites), covid, immune depletion, gastroparesis, dysbiosis, leaky gut, inability to process certain foods I am so much better than late 2023 so feel very positive 🙂

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      Hi and thank you very much for your detailed response! I am so glad that the protocol worked so well for you and helped you to get your health back on track. I've heard of it helping other people too. One question I have is how did you maintain your weight on this diet? I really rely on nuts and rice to keep me at a steady weight because I tend to lose weight quickly and am having a hard time envisioning how to make it work, especially when not being able to eat things like nuts and avocados. In case you have any input, woud be great to hear it! Friendly greetings.

      Is this celiac?

      By Hmart · Posted

      I was not taking any medications previous to this. I was a healthy 49 yo with some mild stomach discomfort. I noticed the onset of tinnitus earlier this year and I had Covid at the end of June. My first ‘flare-up’ with these symptoms was in August and I was eating gluten like normal. I had another flare-up in September and then got an upper endo at the end of September that showed possible celiac. My blood test came a week later. While I didn’t stop eating gluten before I had the blood test, I had cut back on food and gluten both. I had a flare-up with this symptoms after one week of gluten free but wasn’t being crazy careful. Then I had another flare-up this week. I think it might have been caused by Trader Joe’s baked tofu which I didn’t realize had wheat. But I don’t know if these flare-ups are caused by gluten or if there’s something else going on. I am food journaling and tracking all symptoms. I have lost 7 pounds in the last 10 days.

      Welcome to the forum, @Hmart! There are other medical conditions besides celiac disease that can cause villous atrophy as well as some medications and for some people, the dairy protein casein. So, your question is a valid one. Especially in view of the fact that your antibody testing was negative, though there are also some seronegative celiacs. So, do you get reactions every time you consume gluten? If you were to purposely consume a slice of bread would you be certain to develop the symptoms you describe?
