Thanks Jay! I think the fact that I won't have my car is what's making me worried. We're all driving down in a van together. So I have to hope the group will be open to going to these gluten-friendly restaurants. But I'm not super close with them yet, so I'm not sure how it'll go. I guess I'll just pack what I can, and if I spend one weekend hungry, it's...

I just got diagnosed with Celiacs (with blood tests and a biopsy) a month ago. I was pretty asymptomatic - it was through a routine physical that they found out. So basically, I felt fine before the diagnosis. Based on how high my blood tests were and how severe the damage to the villi is, my doctor was shocked that I don't feel terrible. She said I'll probably...

Thanks all for the tips! I don't know why it makes me so nervous to talk to the staff. I'm sure I'll get used to it at some point. I'm not sure where we'll be in St. Louis. I'm going in a big group - my theatre has a show there. So the whole weekend will be fly by the seat of our pants, which makes it really difficult to plan. Hence, the stress.

I'm going to St. Louis. I'll take any recommendations you may have. Thanks so much everyone. I know I'll get used to this, but it all feels so...awkward to me now. I just have to get over it, but until then, I'm fairly anxious about the whole thing!

I won't be able to reheat food - we'll be on the move most of the time, and we won't have a microwave in our hotel room. I'll bring lara bars, pb&js on gluten free bread, and maybe a cold quinoa salad. But I don't think I'm going to escape this trip without eating at a restaurant. So what I need is a kind of script. What do you tell them/request of them...

Hi all - I just got diagnosed with Celiac disease two weeks ago. It was a total surprise, as I'm pretty much asymptomatic. I've been doing okay because I only eat foods that I make. However, I'm going on road trip my improv ensemble for a performance in 4 weeks. It'll be Friday to Sunday. I'm in a panic, as I don't know how to eat away from home. I can pack...
