Hello everyone, well we're taking a trip to Cabo San Lucas and I'm fretting the eating issue. I know Mexico is big on corn but if anyone has been there and can shed some light on "safe" places to eat I would GREATLY appreciate it. I've tried to google gluten free in Cabo but not much is out there...........thank you in advance!

I was in Cabo last week and had a great lunch at the Sandbar. Had beef nachos (make sure to ask that the chips are maize (corn) not harina (flour), fresh guacamole and salsa. YUMM! The best part of the Sandbar is that you can sit in the beach chair (free) with umbrella (just need to order beverage and /or food. You can get to the Sandbar by taxi or water taxi from pier. Locals will know where it is.

For dinner, try the Trailer Park. Serious, best lobster restuarant. Sits right in the middle of a trailer park.

In general, Shrimp and lobster tacos are usually gluten-free (make sure they are grilled, not fried)with maize torillas (available at most restuarants). Fresh guacolmole - I never had a problem. Avoid anything with sauce (ie: mole). Fresh fruit is good, bananas (most US bananas come from Mexico), mango, payapa, pineapple, etc. Beans Ihave done ok with. I avoid the rice, as it is usually spiced and don't want to take a chance. Cabo Wabo tequila if you are looking for a drink.

Ciel and Bonafoundt bottled water are good and readily available in Mexico.

Recommend taking some of your own gluten-free food for snacks, breakfast, etc.

Have a great time!!!

Hi there,

I am heading off to the Baja soon too, and have just started researching the terms I will need to be familiar with in order to shop gluten free (also dairy and corn free). I would be happy to share if that would be helpful. I will be doing most of my own cooking as I am going on a mule-packing trip, not doing a traditional style holiday. I am taking my backpacking stove and buying and packing my own food. Have fun on your trip!

      Gluten free stuff

      By Tammy Pedler · Posted

      As soon as I see gluten free I read the labels. I always find stuff that I cannot have on the products them selfs. Like spices, when the labels says  everything listed and then after like say garlic salt then the next thing is spices. When it says that that can contain wheat and other things I can’t have..

      Do some people with Celiacs develop hypoglycemia?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While hypoglycemia isn't a direct, classic symptom of celiac disease, it's something that some individuals with well-managed celiac disease report, and there may be a few plausible explanations for why the two could be connected. The most common theory involves continued damage to the gut lining or nutrient deficiencies (like chromium or magnesium) that can impair the body's ability to regulate blood sugar effectively, even after gluten is removed. Another possibility is delayed stomach emptying (gastroparesis) or issues with the hormones that manage blood sugar release, like glucagon. Since your doctors are puzzled, it may be worth discussing these specific mechanisms with a gastroenterologist or endocrinologist. You are certainly not alone in experiencing this puzzling complication, and it highlights how celiac disease can have long-term metabolic effects beyond the digestive tract.

      Ibuprofen

      Paracetamol, aka, acetaminophen (Tylenol) just does not do anything for me as far as pain relief. It does help with fevers, though.

      Ibuprofen

      By cristiana · Posted

      I seem to recall that my digestive issues actually started when I was taking NSAIDs c. February 2013 for some unrelated condition.  My stomach got so sore during that time I went to see my GP and she thought it might be an ulcer or gastritis so prescribed me Omeprazole.  That appeared to trigger diarrhea which, once I came off the Omeprazole, did not stop.  I went back to the doctors after a few weeks, and that finally led to my coeliac diagnosis, after months of unexplained neurological symptoms, low ferritin and anxiety,which did not seem to have a cause but of course we later realised was all down to coeliac disease. I occasionally take a very small aspirin for a sick migraine which sometimes only responds to aspirin, but it usually leaves me with sore stomach a few days later. I've been told co-codamol is another medication I could take with a sensitive stomach. I was once prescribed it, to use for just a few days. It is not an NSAID, but it contains codeine, which I understand can be addictive so should be used with care.  It can also cause constipation.

      I also take Paracetamol. I haven't taken an NSAID in years since being diagnosed with UC. The can cause UC flares.
