but I'm just not sure if traveling is realistic.

It is realistic, and as long as you're feeling healthy, you can travel anywhere you want. You just have to know how to:

1. Seek out safe food in grocery stores

2. Not eat anything unless you're 100% sure it's safe

3. Refrain from relying on restaurant food

4. Carry around food with you everywhere you go

5. Accept the fact that your meals might consist of very simple, basic ingredients while you're there and you might have to eat some pretty boring meals while everyone around you induldges in elaborate junk food (and you'll realize it's all worth it to be able to see and experience something new).

Okay I'm guessing you do all this at home already , but for some reason people think the rules change and it's all different when you travel. It's not really.

That being said, I think a really cool place to go would be New York City. It seems to have the most awesome selection of gluten-free restaurants. I think some of them can be found here: www.glutenfreerestaurants.com

I haven't been there as a celiac, but I've been to many places around the country and to a few other countries as well. No place stands out as being super celiac-friendly, but I've never had major problems anywhere either. Hope you get to go somewhere good

I agree with Mango04. Follow her guidence and you will be fine. I always travel with my own food and try to rent someplace with a kitchen. If I am flying I track down stores that sell Gluten Free food before I leave on the internet.

I know you asked about places other than Orlando, Florida, but I just wanted to add my two cents. I'm actually on vacation in Orlando right now. Woo-hoo! Anyway, I can't imagine having a better time than this anywhere else. The food has been excellent. In the Disney parks they have seperate kitchen areas for allergen orders so there's a much lesser risk for cross contamination. I've been here for almost a week and I haven't gotten glutened once.. I've eaten every meal out, but not every snack. Even the restaurants in Downtown Disney are really good about gluten free cooking. The italian restaurants in Disney/Downtown Disney have Tinkyada pasta on hand and can make noodle dishes to order. There are a lot of more adult-type things to do here. It's not all just for kids. We're actually staying at a hotel right now that has an indoor and outdoor swimming pool, so we don't even have to leave the hotel if we're having a good time. It's really nice if you stay at a Disney resort that has a restaurant and bakery on sight. They'll make you gluten free food and I think you can even get gluten free room service!!! It would make a great senior trip. There are two Disney water parks, plus all the other Disney parks, plus Universal Studios. You'd have a blast.
