If You Could Travel Anywhere In The World, Where Would It Be?

I'm a travel fiend. Junkie, even. Exploring cultures, languages, history, architecture, art, geography, food and so on fascinates me to no end. So, if you were able to travel anywhere, where would you choose and why?

Although not exactly celiac friendly (but that is not the point here), my current picks would be Israel and Jordan, followed by Egypt for the above reasons. I would somehow like to get off the beaten path at times, though, as I dislike crowds. And no resorts for me, please.

Spain, Portugal and France (barge trip down the Canal du Midi), Scotland, Ireland, Wales. Devon and Cornwall,Italy, Greek islands cruise (some of these are repeats) and now that you have talked about it so much, Croatia. I am not into adventure travel - I leave that for the younger ones, and do not get any kicks out of going to dangerous countries. I am starting to sound my age :P

I was just thinking about this! I would go to India. After that, China and Japan. Growing up here in the States, I really notice the lack of history (and yes, I've been to Mesa Verde and other Native American sites). So places, such as India, with such an ancient culture that has stood for so long, absolutely fascinate me! One day!

Antarctica.

New Zealand, Galapagos Islands, Australia, Ireland and Hawaii. In that order.

Although from pictures I have seen of NZ once I got there I might never come back.

China, Korea or Malaysia. Of course, I want to go places that would be very hard to travel and stay gluten-free. :ph34r: If I could MOVE anywhere in the world, even for just a few years I would go to Australia or Ireland. :)

From your list we have yet to go to Spain and Ireland.

If I were to do a Top 10 (make that 11) it would be:

1. Israel

2. Egypt (not at the moment, though!)

3. Turkey

4. Ireland

5. Romania

6. Lithuania

7. Hungary

8. Bulgaria

9. Poland

10. Estonia

11. Slovakia

We've been to many countries but have so many more as well! We have found the further east in Europe we travel (other than the UK) the more we love it. It becomes more real and far less commercialized. I love hearing Croatian and very little English, for example. We really enjoy being totally immersed in the culture - no impersonal hotels but B&Bs for us.

Heck, if money were no object, I'd like a private jet to avoid the hassles of getting to and from the airport and not be packed like a sardine in coach (I got spoiled when my daughter was a flight attendant and I could normally get either business class or first class).

When that happens, I'm sure I'll find lots of places to go. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Scotland, for sure.

Scotland was my first international trip and I've been back many times since. In fact, a piece of my heart was left behind there! Believe me - it is even more awesome than a person can possibly fathom.

      Nuts and cheese are not particularly high in tyrosine compared to many common foods most people eat nearly every day, particularly most meats and fish. I doubt that is the issue in and of itself, though nuts and cheese (particularly aged cheeses) can be a trigger for some migraine suffers for whatever reason. https://www.myfooddata.com/articles/high-tyrosine-foods.php

      @Sarah Grace,  Thank you for the update!  It's so good to hear from you!  I'm glad Thiamine, B Complex and magnesium have helped you.  Yes, it's important to take all three together.    I had to quit eating cheese and nuts a long time ago because they triggered migraines in me, too.  They are high in tyrosine, an amino acid, found also in fermented foods like sauerkraut and red wine.   I found taking Tryptophan very helpful with migraines.  Tryptophan is a precursor of serotonin and people with migraines are often low in serotonin.  (Don't take tryptophan if you're taking an SSRI.)     This recent study shows tryptophan really helps. The association between dietary tryptophan intake and migraine https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31254181/   For immediate respite from a migraine, try smiling REALLY BIG, mouth closed, tongue pressed against roof of mouth, and crinkle up your eyes like you just heard or saw the funniest thing...  This causes an endorphin release in the brain.  Usually it's the funny event, then the endorphin release and then the smile.  Smiling first makes the endorphin center think it missed something and it catches up quickly by releasing endorphins after the big crinkle eyed smile.  Must make crinkly eyes with smile or it won't work.  If you do this too frequently within a short time frame (several hours), you can deplete your endorphins, but you'll make more in a couple of hours, so no worries. Get your thyroid checked, too.  Migraines are also seen in low thyroid function (Hashimoto's or hypothyroidism).  Celiac and thyroid problems go hand in hand.   Vitamin D helps, too.  Low Vitamin D is found in migraine.   I'm so glad you're doing better.

      Its been a complete nightmare dealing with all these health issues one thing after another and being told many different things.I am looking for a new primary care physician considering when I told my past doctor of 25 years I was diagnosed before any foods eliminated from my diet and now this year at age 54 no longer able to push considering Im always exhausted, leg pain , stomach,skin and eye issues,high blood pressure to name a few all worsen because I was a  school bus driver and few years until my immune system went to hell and was fired because of it.Im still struggling now, Im sibo positive and been told im not celiac and that I am.I have a hernia and dealing with menopause. Its exhausting and is causing depression because of non medical help. Today I saw another gastrointestinalist and he said everything im feeling doesn't add up to celiac disease since my ITg levels are normal so celiac disease is under control and it's something else. I for got I had Barrett's esophagus diagnosed in 2007 because recent doctors down played it just like my celiac disease. Im currently looking for a pcp in my area because it is affecting me personally and professionally. Im told since celiac looks under control it's IBS and I need to see a therapist to control it. Gastrointestinalist around here think only food consumption and if ITG looks normal its bit celiac disease it's something else. Is this right? This is what im being told. I want medical help but told its IBS.Im feel lost by " medical team "

      My migraines generally have their onset during the early morning hours as well. Presently, I am under siege with them, having headaches all but two days so far this month. I have looked at all the things reported to be common triggers (foods, sleep patterns, weather patterns, stress, etc.). Every time I think I start to see a pattern it proves not to pan out in the long run. I'm not sure it's any one thing but may, instead, be a combination of things that coalesce at certain times. It's very frustrating. The medication (sumatriptan or "Imatrix") is effective and is the only thing that will quell the pain. NSAIDs, Tylenol, even hydrocodone doesn't touch it. But they only give you 9 does of sumatriptan a month. And it doesn't help that medical science doesn't really know what causes migraines. They know some things about it but the root cause is still a mystery.
