  1. We spent 2 weeks traveling around Spain without any trouble. We didn't really need the translation cards as everyone knew what we were saying when we said, "Celiaca". The servers that didn't speak much English would just point to the things on the menus that we could have. Most servers spoke English, though. We even found a couple bakeries that had meringues...
  2. We travel a lot with our kids and Go Picnics are our best resource. We use them on planes and in our day packs. I used to get them online and pay shipping but now Target sells them and that is awesome! We are also dairy free and additive free so there are only three varieties for us but that is plenty. In airports, we often get oatmeal at Starbuck's.
  3. I think you picked a good place to visit! I was in San Diego a couple years ago and had no trouble with gluten free as well as dairy free. They are very health oriented in San Diego. I don't recall the places I went but I do know that I used this great website to research ahead of time. Open Original Shared Link Good luck!
  4. We just returned from a cruise on Norwegian and it went great. We are all gluten-free and my kids are also soy free, dairy free, and artificial additive free and they handled it beautifully. We didn't do the buffet except a couple times when the kids were hungry between meals and they had a hamburger no bun and potato chips. That went fine. Otherwise,...
  5. We just returned from a Norwegian cruise and even though they said not to bring food off the ship, we did bring packaged bars in our backpacks and they didn't say anything about it. I researched ahead of time to see what restaurants we could eat at that were in the port cities. That will be harder with a shore excursion that includes a meal. The good...
  6. We just flew to NYC last week and I was a bit worried because I was traveling with homemade capsules of baking powder in my carry on as well as a bunch of other meds. Nobody said a word and all went fine.
  7. New Orleans was one of our harder places to travel but we managed. The Lucky Dog hot dog stands are all over the French Quarter and the hot dogs and chili are gluten free and dairy free. The were very helpful with us in changing gloves and putting into a container that we could eat it without the bun. Super yummy!! We had a great meal at Napoleon's in...
  8. We always bring packets of Gluten Freeda oatmeal. You can use coffee pot water or on the plane the flight attendent can bring you hot water. We also bring concentrated chicken broth packets (Trader Joe's) and Minute Rice. Get some hot water and add both and you have a quick soup. On the plane we just make small amounts in the styrofoam cup but in the...
  9. We have been to the Dells twice since gluten-free and it's not the easiest place but you can get through a few days. The best option is the Cheese Factory. It's a small healthy restaurant that knows gluten-free well. I believe the menu is marked. Damon
  10. We travel a lot and found New Orleans to be our most challenging city yet. We found a few good places in the French Quarter...we didn't venture out beyond that. Napoleon's- Red beans and rice with sausage. Bubba Gump's- several options, they were very aware. Marriott on Canal Street- we stayed here and let them know ahead of time about our dietary issues...
  11. We spent 3 days in Lisbon with our 2 gluten-free children and no trouble at all. They are very knowledgeable about gluten so you just have to say "gluten free?" and they will help you with the menu. We had this experience at every sidewalk cafe we sat down at. We didn't speak any Portugese so it was all done by pointing and the great English that most of...
  12. I don't think you could find anywhere better to go right now than Disney. They take gluten free very seriously and you will have more food than you know what to do with! It may be just the boost you need to know that this will all be okay.
  13. Tyson Chicken Packets Minute Rice (use hot water from the coffee maker) Chicken broth packets (available at Trader Joe's) Nuts Protein bars St. Dalfour Read-to-go Salmon GoPicnic meals Peanut butter packets gluten-free breadsticks or crackers to supplement a restaurant meal
  14. Atlanta is a great place to travel gluten-free! My favorite place to go is the fast food restaurant Chik fil A. You can print out the gluten-free options before you go. There is one in the airport and also in the CNN building near Olympic Park. Delight Magazine had an article about gluten-free Atlanta last summer. Here is a list of the restaurants...
  15. What a shame that you have had such bad luck with Delta. We flew from Atl to Buenos Aires overnight a few weeks ago and had an issue- our flight was cancelled and our gluten free info was not transferred to our new flight. Of course we had emergency food on hand since it was a 10 hour flight but it's not the same as a hot meal. The flight attendant felt...
