Does anyone know of a place to purchase gluten-free cereal, pretzels, snack bars and cookies? We will be arriving 1 day prior to sailing and if possible, would rather not carry these items with me on my flight. I may not have a car available so would need a source I could reach easily.

I vacationed in San Diego for 2 weeks last October. If you can take a bus to the Hillcrest area (close to Balboa Park and San Diego Zoo), you can visit the Whole Foods and Trader Joe's in that area. I bought all my gluten-free supplies there during my 2 week stay in San Diego. However, there is also one large grocery store in downtown SD which has many naturally gluten free items (fruits, rice cakes, canned meats and fish, etc.).

I only traveled one time without taking most of my food with me. I was going to pick up the food I wanted at a Whole Foods (in Baltimore) when I got there. However, when I arrived they were already out of almost everything I needed and wouldn't get any until the next week. Ever since then I just take everything I wasnt with me. There is no way you would be sure you'd get what you wanted unless you called ahead and had them hold it for you.

Thank you for sharing your experience. It wouldn't be a big problem to carry a few things with me and leave me time to sightsee while on the West Coast.

      I was suffering from PF just previous to being dx with celiac disease about 25 yr. ago but have not been troubled with it since. Not sure what the connection between the two is of if there is one. But I do know it is a very painful condition that takes your breath away when it strikes.

      I have dealt with proctalgia fugax on and off for a year now. It feels almost paralyzing during an episode and they have started lasting longer and longer, sometimes 20+ minutes. I was recently diagnosed with celiac disease and wonder if the 2 are related. I did request a prescription for topical nitroglycerin for my PF episodes and that has helped tremendously!

      Hey @Butch68, I also have dermatitis herpetiformis but don't suffer from it anymore. I used to drink Guinness too but I drink Cider now when out on social occasions. I assume you are in Ireland or the UK. If it's any good to you ... 9 White Deer based in Cork brew a range of gluten-free products including a gluten-free Stout. I'm not sure if they are certified though. https://www.9whitedeer.ie/ I haven't come across any certified gluten-free stouts this side of the pond.

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      Interestingly, this thought occurred to me last night. I did find that there are studies investigating whether vitamin D deficiency can actually trigger celiac disease.  Source: National Institutes of Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231074/
