Puerto Vallarta Advice/tips/suggestions - Help Needed

Hi - we're looking at traveling to Puerto Vallarta and wondering if anyone has any suggestions for dining out, grocery shopping, general advice. I have the Triumph Dining card, so that will help. Probably will stay in a condo and cook, but just wondering if anyone has gluten free advice/knowledge of the area.

Thanks so much!

I've found the local eateries use mainly small white tortillas for making tacos. These are usually made fresh daily.

I've spent 8-9 days each of the last two years in Guadalahara, Tequila, and Arandas (and the towns in between). We usually eat at small local cafes, open air restaurants, and street venders. Basically street tacos. Very tasty and cheap. Haven't had a problem with gluten or sickness.

Where we go, there are no fancy gringo touristy places for the most part. We do local and love it.

best regards, lm

p.s., I think the secret is lots of good quality tequila!

      Thank you 😊 I will certainly have those tests done to be thorough although bright red color indicates lower down.  This information is very interesting,  Thank you so much 🙏🏻

      As Plumbago mentioned, bleeding in the upper end of the GI track tends not to show up as bright red in color because it gets acted upon by the digestion process and more thoroughly mixed in with food residues that are passing through the intestines.

      @Bronwyn W Working with your medical provider, you could do a complete blood count test. If you were bleeding say from an ulcer in the stomach (and let's hope not), your red blood cells could be low and your hemoglobin low as well. Your stools may show up as the proverbial "dark and tarry," indicative of a bleeding site further away from the anus. Basically, you may be anemic. Your heart may be beating extra fast as a way to compensate for the decreased number of blood cells, your oxygen saturation may be lower than normal on a pulse oximeter, and so on. But talk to your doctor.

      Thank you for this insight. I have had rectal bleeding after glutening and subsequent constipation (+ IBS-C) and always attributed it to internal hemorrhoids (diagnosed). What I wasn't aware of is the possibility of bleeding further up the digestive tract. Please can you elaborate on the causes and symptoms to watch for?

      Still unsure.....

      Be sure to be eating gluten daily until all of your celiac disease tests are completed (at least 2 slices worth of wheat bread per day for at least 6-8 weeks before any blood tests, and 2 weeks before an endoscopy).
