Visiting America

Hi , I'm a celiac visiting America in October and wondered which is the best grocery guide to purchase to make my stay there a bit easier. I was there last October and found grocery shopping quite difficult as gluten is not mentioned on labels.

Any help about this or restaurant recommendations would be great. I'm staying in Orlando.

Thanks

Try to find a Whole Foods Market or a Wild Oats. Those are good grocery stores with more gluten free choices and more organic veggies and such. I live in South Florida and there's one in Tampa for sure so there should be one in Orlando too.

Are you staying at Disney World? Or in other hotel or someone's home?

Disney has gluten-free restaurants in their hotels (so I've heard).

I am staying in a villa , have you used any of the gluten free grocery guides whch are available? Last time I was in Orlando I managed to eat out without too many problems but grocery shopping was a bit moe difficult as products weren't labelled showing if they containd gluten or not.

Thanks

Below is the information from the Wholefoods website for the store in the Orlando area:

Open Original Shared Link

Whole Foods has a good selection of gluten free food. My local WholeFoods will print out a list of gluten free foods in the store if I ask at the Customer Service desk. I do not live in Florida so I would suggest e-mail WholeFoods and ask if that service is available at this specific store. Also, "Gluten Free" shelf tags are below many of the gluten free foods.

Have a super trip.

Hi,

I just answered another post of yours. I actually started out by going to the Universal Studios website for information and e-mailing the two restaurants I mentioned, NBA City and Margaritaville. Both places e-mailed me back and we started making arrangements that way.

I don't know your vacation plans, but City Walk is a large area outside the Universal amusement parks. City Walk has lots of shops, restaurants, movie theaters, live bands in the evenings, etc.

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      You might also consider a low iodine diet as iodine is know to exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis. But be careful with that as well as there are health problems that can accrue from iodine deficiency.

      Hi, Yes, the rash has gone. I still get the itches but there is nothing to see now, apart from a lot of discoloured areas where the rash was worst. Occasionally I get a single lump come up, a bit like hives, but no bigger than a pea and it goes after 24hrs and a steroid cream application. And yes, giving the gluten-free diet 110%. Very careful...

      Welcome to the the celiac.com community, @suek54! Is the Dapsone getting the rash under control? Are you practicing a gluten free diet yet? The only known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis is celiac disease.

Very careful about any cross contamination.  This is my fifth autoimmune condition so well and truly on that bandwagon.
