Just before Thanksgiving I was at a meeting in Edinburgh, Scotland. It was a real pleasure to be in a country where I could say to a restaurant server "I'm celiac" and they knew what that meant. I still needed to be precise about my dietary constraints, but servers and food providers were familiar with the condition. It made a short trip more enjoyable.
Of course, the airline (Continental) didn't have the requested GF meal for the flight home. So I was reminded why it's always important to travel with something edible. Roasted, unsalted almonds are my usual travel food. I also try to eat before boarding. What are your travel strategies?
Having been diagnosed with CD in May of this year, I 've so far managed to avoid dealing with travel. I'll keep your advice in mind and take "safe" munchies with me next time I have to fly.
Great to see other CD bloggers out there. I'll link to you.
Have a Happy New Year:)
