Good Morning - I'm a new member and a travel agent in Canada - I also have Celiac disease. With this combination I've become very good at figuring the travel industry for myself from Canada but I really am very limited in my knowledge for others.

Are there any travel agents out there that you folks really trust that I could refer clients to if necessary?

Thanks for yuor help. :mellow:

There is a travel agent here in Melbourne (Australia) that specialises in gluten free travel.

ALso there is a website for Europe called www.glutenfreeonthego.com.

This is SO helpful - so far I have found no one like this in North America and hope to be the first! Or certainly the most committed! I really appreciate your help - what a great way to start my membership on this site.

I'm a very experience travel agent (18yrs), but fairly new to the gluten-free world. I want to build my business by doing gluten-free trips. I just recent booked my 1st gluten-free group cruise on Holland American for Aug 27, 2010, out of Seattle to Alaska.

I also know of other cruise lines that do gluten free cruises and of a tour company that does gluten-feee trips to Italy.

Hi Barbara - I'm up in Ontario, Canada - where are you? Let me know how we can support each other - also - tell me more about your Holland America Cruise - is there still space?

How exciting for you - I've been working smaller as I specialize in hands-on adventurous (not over the top) travel and want to help our fellow gluten-free friends become travellers instead of tourists!

      Symptoms that get worse if you don't supplement is a sign of malabsorption, possibly due to Celiac disease. Blood tests for nutritional deficiencies are not very accurate, and should be done when you have been off of supplements for eight to twelve weeks, otherwise the vitamin supplements you've taken will be measured.  The blood circulation system is a transportation system.  It transports the vitamins you've absorbed around the body, but blood tests don't give an accurate picture of the vitamin and mineral stores inside organs and tissues where they are actually used.  You can have "normal" blood levels but still have deficiencies.  This is because the brain demands stored nutrients be put into the blood stream to supply important organs, like the brain and heart, while other organs do without.   If you are taking Thiamine Mononitrate in your supplements, you are probably low in thiamine.  Thiamine Mononitrate is used in many supplements because it won't break down sitting on a shelf.  This also means Thiamine Mononitrate is difficult for the body to utilize.  Only thirty percent of Thiamine Mononitrate on the label is absorbed and even less is able to be utilized by the body.  A different form of Thiamine called Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing.   Talk to your doctor about doing a genetic test to look for Celiac markers.   I'm concerned that if you do a gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum off two weeks) in your weakened state, the nutritional deficiencies will become worse and possibly life threatening.

      Hello, good afternoon!   I apologize, I didn’t see a notification and I’m just reading this. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and the link. Yes you are absolutely right, even so trying to get a response from them has been extremely difficult. They don’t answer but I will your practice of “guilty until proven innocent.”   I like and have a sense of trust here in this website, everyone is honest and thoughts are raw. The mutual understanding is amazing!   thank you Scott!

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.
