Travel Gluten Free Podcast Season 09 Episode 17 Traveling Gluten Free in Our National Parks   Here's the 411 on National Parks, activities to do, when to go and how to navigate the park you choose to visit. I'll also take you on a brief tour of the National Park Service website and tell you about the National Park Foundation, why you want to purchase a National Park Pass, why you want to bring gluten free food inside the parks, and how to reserve a camping spot!   National Park Activities   So, what can you do in a national park? What do you want to do? Find out about local geologic features? How about the history of how our country's government formed? Or maybe you want to learn about the ecosystem of the Everglades? Sound overwhelming? Why not start at the National Park website where you can search by activity, find out about ranger-guided hikes, tours, and presentations and also see if the park you are visiting has the Junior Ranger Program for kids.   When you visit the National Park website, you can: Search for National Parks by state see what parks, monument and national lands are in the state find out what activities each individual park has to offer Purchase a National Park annual pass (highly recommended!)   Eating Gluten Free in National Parks   Unfortunately, this has proven almost hopeless as the parks only provide mostly fast food. Every once in a while, you can find an upscale lodge with a dining room that can accommodate Celiac disease, but overall, plan on bringing your own food with you to be safe.   Gluten Free Resources   Journey safely with The Guide to Traveling Gluten Free which walks you through planning your next gluten-free travel adventure!

Travel Gluten Free Podcast Season 09 Episode 15 Gluten Free Indian Cuisine   Indian food is one of my favorite ethnic dishes, so I'm so glad that East Indian cuisine is mostly naturally gluten free! Besides naan bread, and some samosas - which are the East Indian version of a burrito - most other dishes do not have gluten. Today, I'll give you information on popular Indian dishes that typically do not contain gluten that I've eaten in the past. As always, check with the chef or cook at the restaurant you're eating at to make sure your food is safe!   Be Aware of Gluten in Lentils   Because the FDA allows up to 10% of another grain in lentils, I try to avoid lentils as much as possible. However, there are several dishes, including the crisp wafer Papadam, that are made from lentils. The one time I was sick from Indian food was cross-contamination of the lentils in the dish.   Four Types of Indian Cuisine based on Region   North Indian cuisine is known for its robust flavors and extensive use of dairy products, such as ghee (clarified butter), yogurt, and paneer (cottage cheese). Popular dishes include biryani, butter chicken, tandoori chicken, naan bread, and various lentil-based dishes like dal makhani.   South Indian cuisine is primarily vegetarian and is characterized by its generous use of rice, lentils, coconut, and spices like mustard seeds, curry leaves, and red chilies. Popular dishes include dosa (fermented rice and lentil crepes), idli (steamed rice and lentil cakes), sambhar (spicy lentil soup), and rasam (tangy soup).   East Indian cuisine is known for its seafood, sweets, and subtle flavors. Rice and fish are staple ingredients in this cuisine. Popular dishes include macher jhol (fish curry), sandesh (a sweet made from cottage cheese and sugar), and rasgulla (a syrupy dessert made from cheese curds).   West Indian cuisine is known for its spicy and vibrant flavors. It heavily relies on ingredients like garlic, ginger, and chilies. Popular dishes include pav bhaji (a spicy mashed vegetable curry served with bread), vada pav (a spicy potato fritter sandwich), dhokla (steamed fermented chickpea flour snack), and various Gujarati thalis (platters) featuring a wide variety of vegetarian dishes.   Podcast Resources   Journey safely with The Guide to Traveling Gluten Free which walks you through planning your next gluten-free travel adventure!

Travel Gluten Free Podcast Season 09 Episode 14 Traveling Gluten Free in Puerto Rico   I recently took a vacation in Humacao, Puerto Rico after visiting this beautiful US territory for the first time last year. I stayed at Las Palmas Resort and I enjoyed my stay so much, I've already booked another week there for next year! I can't wait to go back. Listen in to today's gluten free travel episode where I talk about my experience in Puerto Rico, fun things to do while you're there, and, of course, amazing gluten free restaurants to eat at when you're in Puerto Rico.   Traveling to Puerto Rico   You can easily get a plane ticket in and out of the main airport in San Juan. And because Puerto Rico is a US territory, you don't need a passport, but you will need a Real ID. Also, you don't need to exchange currency as Puerto Rico is a territory and uses US dollars. It's an easy trip to get to a tropical island that you don't need a passport to travel to if you're a US resident!   Beaches in Puerto Rico   One of the best geologic features and most relaxing activity is to visit a local beach. Luquillo Beach is beautiful and there are restaurants and facilities (including showers) nearby. You can rent a beach chair for $25 for the day, and buy a coconut water or coco loco to sit and relax on the beach, read a book, swim, snorkel or people watch.   Where to Stay in Puerto Rico   I stayed at Park Royal Homestead, and I really enjoyed my stay at their resort! I had a two bedroom condo, with a full kitchen, right next to the pool. The resort offers free shuttles anywhere in the resort, including all restaurants and their own private beach   Make sure that you're following the 3-1-1 TSA rule for liquids if you're packing liquids in your carry-on. I recently got stuck throwing out shampoo and conditioner because I had too many liquids with my medicine. Now, however, I carry a medical bag so my medicine that's considered a liquid doesn't count towards my 3-1-1 (see medical bag link below) .    Podcast Resources   Journey safely with The Guide to Traveling Gluten Free which walks you through planning your next gluten-free travel adventure!

Travel Gluten Free Podcast Season 09 Episode 13 Can You Take Gluten Free Food Outside of the Country?   Ready to travel overseas? Is this your first overseas trip having Celiac disease or as a gluten free traveler? No worries! You can safely navigate food overseas when you know what to do, including using the European Codex, my gluten free traveler. Find out how to pack your bags, get through TSA with food, product ingredients overseas, and how to use Equal Eats cards when traveling.   Eating Out Safely with Equal Eats Cards   With his mission to empower people living with dietary restrictions to enjoy food everywhere by providing an accurate, accessible, and seamless technology solution to help communicate their dietary restrictions effectively, accurately, and conveniently - wherever their life takes them with Equal Eats Cards. Kyle takes great effort to give each individual a customizable option for their card. For example, you can add Celiac, vegan, vegetarian, food allergies, and food intolerances so your wait staff knows all the foods you can't eat. There are dozens of food allergy and intolerance options and dietary choices you can order on Equal Eats. This comes in very handy when you're ordering food when you're in a country in which you don't understand the language.   Food Shopping Overseas   Even when you ask all the right questions, you can still end up getting food you can't eat. Make sure to take Equal Eats cards with you to the supermarket and ask the store clerk if you can eat the food that is packaged.    Packing Your Food in Your Checked or Carry-On Bag   Find out how to pack your food, and make sure you weigh your checked bag to make sure it's within the weight limit of the airline you are traveling to your destination. Typically, the weight limit for checked bags is 60 pounds and I've never come close to that weight on a checked bag, even after adding food.   Make sure that you're following the 3-1-1 TSA rule for liquids if you're packing liquids in your carry-on. I recently got stuck throwing out shampoo and conditioner because I had too many liquids with my medicine. Now, however, I carry a medical bag so my medicine that's considered a liquid doesn't count towards my 3-1-1 (see medical bag link below) .    Podcast Resources   Journey safely with The Guide to Traveling Gluten Free which walks you through planning your next gluten-free travel adventure!

Travel Gluten Free Podcast Season 09 Episode 12 How to Eat Gluten Free at Your Vacation Rental   Are you scared to eat out at restaurants? If you're new to having Celiac disease, this is a real fear! You don't want to be anxious on vacation, so what do you do? My friend, you can find an Air b'n'b or VRBO at the location you're taking your vacation and make your own food. Always call ahead and speak to restaurant managers directly at hotels, don't rely on the front desk staff to ask if the food is safe at the hotel restaurant. You'll also want to call ahead and find out what appliances and the size of the fridge and microwave so you understand what you have to cook with when you're on vacation. Make sure to follow these tips when you're eating out or making your own food when traveling gluten free.   Find Out About the Kitchen   Since there are no standards for what appliances come in a mini-kitchen, studio, or full kitchen apartment or vacation rental, you'll want to call ahead and find out what appliances are available to use. Which appliances are safe? You may not want to use the blender, and other appliances which food can get easily cross-contaminated such as the toaster.   Make sure to clean your utensils well, use toaster sleeves, and wash any plates you may need during your stay. Look for crumbs in the cabinets and avoid using anything that has come in contact with leftover food. You can easily purchase paper plates to use while you are on vacation to give yourself an extra level of protection and create a less stressed travel vacation.   These Food Rules for Gluten Free also Apply to Food Allergies   Whether you have food allergies or you're gluten free for health reasons, you can apply these practices to keep your food safe! Never assume that any product doesn't have gluten or a food allergen unless you have thoroughly read the label. This can be time consuming, but it's the only way to ensure that the food you are eating is safe. Gluten can hide in many different places including: scrambled eggs at restaurants, tea, salad dressing and sauces, sausages and other meats, as well as alcohol.    If you can't find a local place to buy safe food, you can always order food from Amazon and have it shipped to your vacation rental! Please be safe and read all ingredients and ask the right questions when you're traveling gluten free or with food allergies!   Podcast Resources   Journey safely with The Guide to Traveling Gluten Free which walks you through planning your next gluten-free travel adventure!

Travel Gluten Free Podcast Season 09 Episode 11 Gluten Free Food Tours with Katrina McGhee   Finding Gluten Free Friendly Food Tours While Traveling   Are you scared to take a gluten free food tour? Even with my experience, I avoid food tours because I don't trust that someone else will ask the right questions for me. Today, I chat with Katrina McGhee, who is gluten intolerant - not Celiac - about how she approaches and asks about food tours. Caution: If you're Celiac you will want to use your own judgment with food tour safety. Look for a food tour with dedicated gluten free restaurants or a completely gluten free food tour.   Questions to Ask Food Tour Operators   If you find a food tour, look to see if they mention food allergies or accommodating food allergies. If they don't, you can reach out to the tour operator and ask them directly the following questions: Have you had someone with a food allergy on your tour? What gluten free offerings do these places have? Are all these locations familiar with gluten allergies? What is the protocol at these places? Do you offer exclusive gluten free food tours?   Be Cautious When Booking a Food Tour   Even when you ask all the right questions, you can still end up getting food you can't eat. Although my guest did a variety of food tours, I personally wouldn't book a food tour. Why? Because they are too risky to chance getting sick because I have to depend on the knowledge and experience of someone else to vet food establishments and I'm not personally willing to take that risk.   Katrina is gluten intolerant, not Celiac, and if you're intolerant you have more food options. You don't have to worry about cross contamination and you don't get as sick. My advice is if you're intolerant, you could safely eat on a food tour. If you're Celiac, I wouldn't book a food tour unless it was a tour in Italy or another gluten-free friendly place, and the tour locations were exclusively gluten free. For me, it would be too stressful and not fun if I had to watch everyone else enjoying their food after I paid for a food tour ticket on my vacation.   Podcast Resources   Journey safely with The Guide to Traveling Gluten Free which walks you through planning your next gluten-free travel adventure!

Travel Gluten Free Podcast Season 09 Episode 10 How to Travel with Disabilities featuring Jen Hardy   What does it mean to travel with disabilities? What is a disability and what do you need to know if you're traveling with disabilities? My friend and fellow female podcaster Jen Hardy from the Fabulous Over Fifty podcast (formerly the Hardy Moms Podcast) also has multiple disabilities, including an auto-immune disease which leaves her without energy and the ability to walk or stand on her own. Traveling with a walker, Jen is here to give us tips on how to travel when you have to carry medical devices as a result of your disability. She also tells her story with her experience on United Airlines and how they left her in the terminal, alone, after forgetting to order her a wheelchair and not assisting her off the airplane with a walking aide.   What Does it Mean to Travel with a Disability?   A disability is when a person has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities, a person who has a history or record of such an impairment, or a person who is perceived by others as having such an impairment. These include auto-immune disease, cancer, anxiety, PTSD, depression, and other impairments. It's very common that if you have one disability, you have another. For me, I have 10 disabilities - some of them physical, some mental such as my PTSD I have from being raised in an abusive household. Although you can't see most disabilities in physical form, they are there. When others can't see our disabilities, it makes it hard for them to understand how we have to adjust in our daily life and especially when we travel.   Always Take Your Medication on the Plane with You   Depending on your disability, you may have to use a walker, diabetic medication, cane, brace or support, and most likely you are traveling with medication. Always, always, always take your medication with you on the plane. Take a medical bag because this can be your extra third bag that is excluded from your two you can take on the plane because of medical reasons. While you don't have to have a doctor's letter or note, I would highly recommend geting a medical bag for your medications.    When flying gluten-free, you want to know about this not-well-known piece of information. If you have a disability, and any auto-immune disease is considered a disability, you have the right to carry one extra bag for medical supplies. In addition to the two bags you can carry on, you get one extra. Here's the link to the TSA article, which explains in detail what you can bring and what they allow on the airplane when you travel with a medical bag.    Don't have a medical bag? Get the PracMedic Travel Medicine Bag. I just picked one up from Amazon, and I'm very excited to travel with this handy medical bag. I've been able to stuff lots of supplements and all my prescriptions, along with my spray hand sanitizer, into this convenient bag that has a shoulder strap for easy carrying through the airport.  And if you need a clear, quart-sized travel case for your toiletries because the TSA agent took yours the last time you went through security (like the rude agent who I encountered at the St. Louis airport), then grab this amazing deal from CBGE! Three TSA-approved quart-sized toiletry bags for men or women for under $11.   Podcast Resources   Journey safely with The Guide to Traveling Gluten Free which walks you through planning your next gluten-free travel adventure!

Travel Gluten Free Podcast Season 09 Episode 09 What Does it Mean to Be Gluten Free?   What does it mean to eat gluten-free? Find out when my friend Marvin from the Live Healthy Podcast interviews me on his show! On this episode of Travel Gluten-free Podcast, you'll find out about me, how I came up with my name Elikqitie, along with questions and answers which my friend Marvin asked me about how to be gluten free.   What Does it Mean to Be Gluten Free?   Being gluten free means that you aren't eating any foods that contain gluten. So what's gluten? Gluten is the protein found in several grains including wheat, barley, triticale, and other grains. When you don't eat gluten, you are eliminating any grain that contains gluten along with any processed foods that contain gluten including those with ingredients such as: modified food starch, hydrolyzed protein, and natural flavors or spices as these ingredients all have the possibility to contain gluten.    Eating Gluten Free as a Preference   If you've eaten out or you've talked to anyone breathing on the face of our planet, you know that some people eat gluten-free to try it out or as a preference. While that is fine, there is a significant distinction between eating gluten free as a preference and avoiding gluten because of medical reasons such as Celiac disease or a food allergy.   Adjusting to Gluten Free Eating and the Gluten Free Lifestyle   While some people find out about Celiac disease as a child and grow up eating gluten free, I didn't find out until the age of 42. Being of French and Italian descent, I believed that my gastronomic enjoyment was over because I didn't think I would ever be able to eat bread or pasta again. However, there are some amazing food brands out there and I can enjoy almost any food that I want in its gluten-free form. Learning how to make food again was challenging, but the real challenge was knowing how to eat when I'm not in the city that I live - the big challenge is learning how to travel gluten free!   Best Places to Travel When You're Gluten Free   Marvin turns the table on me when he asks me the best places to eat for gluten free travelers, where I'm going on my next trip, and what I miss the most. (Note: since we recorded this show I have gotten my fix of buttery croissants and I would love to go back to the European bakery and get more!).   Podcast Resources   Journey safely with The Guide to Traveling Gluten Free which walks you through planning your next gluten-free travel adventure!

Travel Gluten Free Podcast Season 09 Episode 08 Top Tips for Traveling Gluten Free   What do you need to know when you're a gluten free traveler? While there are many details you need to plan for your trip, here are a few new ones that I haven't talked about on previous episodes of the Travel Gluten-free Podcast. Today, I'll give you great gluten free travel advice to travel safely, no matter where your gluten free adventure ends up taking you in the world!   Traveling with Your Medicine Bag   When flying gluten-free, you want to know about this not-well-known piece of information. If you have a disability, and any auto-immune disease is considered a disability, you have the right to carry one extra bag for medical supplies. In addition to the two bags you can carry on, you get one extra. Here's the link to the TSA article, which explains in detail what you can bring and what they allow on the airplane when you travel with a medical bag.    Don't have a medical bag? Get the PracMedic Travel Medicine Bag. I just picked one up from Amazon, and I'm very excited to travel with this handy medical bag.

Three TSA-approved quart-sized toiletry bags for men or women for under $11.   Call to Verify Your Fridge, Microwave, and Freezer at Your Hotel or Air   Never assume that your hotel room is going to come standard with a microwave, fridge, and freezer! I've been to hotels that were very nice and had none of these accommodations. Always call ahead - ideally before you book your stay - to find out if they have these much-needed vacation items or if they can provide them to you upon your arrival.    Cover Your Cooking Surfaces   Don't believe it when you hear that gluten can cook off of surfaces! This is simply not true. You need to assume that all surfaces have gluten on them, because, well, that's the world we live in! To protect yourself, you'll want to purchase reusable toaster sleeves to protect your food. Looking to protect your food from someone else's gluten laden stuff? Grab these compostable sandwich bags that are reusable and biodegradable.   Podcast Resources   Journey safely with The Guide to Traveling Gluten Free which walks you through planning your next gluten-free travel adventure!

Travel Gluten Free Podcast Season 09 Episode 06 Traveling and Eating Gluten Free with Kyle from Equal Eats Cards   In today's  Travel Gluten-free Podcast, we are joined by Kyle Dine, the founder, and creator of Equal Eats Cards. Kyle has created one of the most important tools for the gluten free traveler or anyone with food allergies who eat out, especially when you're traveling to another country.   Growing Up with Multiple Food Allergies   Kyle grew up with multiple food allergies since he was a baby. His allergies include peanuts, tree nuts, eggs, and shellfish. In addition, his wife has Celiac disease, so their kitchen is color coded, and they each have their own appliances to prepare food at home.    Creating Equal Eats Cards   Seeing a need for a professionally translated allergen card that would be taken seriously by wait for staff and others in the food industry, Kyle went on to survey over 2000 people with food allergies along with 60 professionals in the healthcare industry to find out what they were looking for when it came to an allergy translation card. He repeatedly found that the card needed to be plastic, have allergen information, and need to list what to avoid and what precautions to take when making food for those of us with dietary restrictions.   Equal Eats Cards Options   With his mission to empower people living with dietary restrictions to enjoy food everywhere by providing an accurate, accessible, and seamless technology solution to help communicate their dietary restrictions effectively, accurately, and conveniently - wherever their life takes them. Kyle takes great effort to give each individual a customizable option for their card. For example, you can add Celiac, vegan, vegetarian, food allergies, and food intolerances so your wait staff knows all the foods you can't eat. There are dozens of food allergy and intolerance options and dietary choices you can order on Equal Eats.

Travel Gluten Free Podcast Season 09 Episode 01 Travel Gluten Free on International Flights   We kick off Season 09 of the Travel Gluten-free Podcast with an informational episode giving the gluten free traveler advice on how to navigate international air travel. While domestic air travel can be challenging, adding more hours and a foreign language or two gives us more hurdles to overcome when we are on our vacation. However, we can still navigate the international travel scene without getting sick when you know what to do and how to prepare for travel to Europe, Asia, Africa, Iceland, or South America.   Finding Gluten Free Eats at Airports   While some airports, such as Atlanta International have food guides to show you which restaurants could possibly accommodate a gluten-free eater, they may not be safe for someone who is Celiac because preparation of the food is essential for safe eating! However, you can use the Find Me Gluten Free app - even inside airports - to find safe food to eat. If you're flying through Portland (PDX) you can definitely eat at the Burgerville restaurant, just make sure to tell them to tag your order with a gluten allergy.   Using Equal Eats Cards at International Airports   I absolutely love Equal Eats cards! They not only tell wait staff and chefs what you can and can't eat in the foreign language of your choice, they also inform food preparation people about how your food needs to be handled. In addition, they are well-vetted and can be customized for food allergies, and sensitivities in addition to the details of Celiac disease, bringing an extra level of safety to traveling gluten free.   Podcast Resources   Journey with Travel Gluten Free when you get The Guide to Traveling Gluten Free which walks you through planning your next gluten-free travel adventure!

Travel Gluten-Free Podcast Season 07 Episode 28 Gluten Free European Bakeries with Matt from Gluten Free Street Gang   Join us in today's Travel Gluten-free Podcast as Matt from the Gluten Free Street Gang and I chat about the favorite bakeries he's visited throughout Europe! We talk about where you can find the best gluten free croissants, gluten free cake, and gluten free pastries around the world.   The Popularity of Gluten Free Bakeries There are many gluten-free bakeries in European countries that offer a variety of gluten-free baked goods such as bread, pastries, and desserts. Some of these bakeries may be dedicated exclusively to gluten-free products, while others may offer both gluten-free and gluten-containing options. It is worth noting that the availability and popularity of gluten-free products has increased significantly in recent years, so it is likely that there are many options for those following a gluten-free diet in these countries.  About Matt Bzedl   Matt grew up outside the US with expat parents and travel has been a constant of his life since he was a toddler. Matt has been on a gluten free diet since December 2013 and has IBS. While gluten isn't the only culprit, gluten is his worst offender.  He started my meme account after getting an idea for a meme about Starbucks discontinuing their gluten free breakfast sandwich.    Matt has run the largest gluten free meme account on Instagram for a little over two years and is proud to both be a leader in our community as well as building connections with people from all over the world who find my his relatable.    The name of his account comes from a soccer team he was on when living in the US. Matt had a wild assortment of injuries and with the constant jokes about being in his mid-20s going on 80, the name "Retirement Home Street Gang" was born. The name Gluten Free Street Gang came about as an extension of that name.   He's been to 27 countries (and lived in four countries if you count study abroad). His best travel story is when he was working in Belgium and took a sleeper train with some friends and woke up in a different country than his intended travel destination. Matt hopes to keep travel as a central content theme for his upcoming work.

Travel Gluten-Free Podcast Season 07 Episode 14 What's For Gluten Free Breakfast?   Most people assume that breakfast meals like bacon and sausages are gluten-free because they are made of meat protein. However, you'd be surprised where you would find gluten lurking in your breakfast! In addition, you'd also be surprised about the many gluten free breakfast options that are available to you! In today's Travel Gluten-free Podcast, I will take you through some fantastic ideas for your gluten-free breakfast and what foods to avoid if you're Celiac or gluten intolerant. Foods to Avoid for your Gluten-free Breakfast   Breakfast cereals are an everyday staple in the American diet. But be forewarned: there is no lack of gluten in cereals! Many people believe that rice cereals are safe because they are rice-based. However, in my experience, I've found that many rice cereals have gluten!    Malt sweetener or malt flavoring, a common sweetener for rice cereals, is made from barley, which has gluten. I share why you should be careful when consuming breakfast cereals with rice and, ultimately, why you should avoid any foods containing malt or maltodextrin. I cover reasons to look out for maltodextrin in breakfast meats and other breakfast foods and how to label read to ensure your breakfast sausages and bacon are gluten-free.   I also discuss why you should be careful with oats as a Celiac and share some gluten-free oat brands. With oats, you want to ensure that they are purity protocol or certified gluten-free because of the cross-contamination during processing. In addition, you can be sensitive to oat protein. Listen in to learn more details about why oats may affect you if you have Celiac disease. Food Ideas for your Next Gluten-free Breakfast   Keto cereals are a good choice for a gluten-free breakfast, especially for those on the keto diet or if you're looking to cut out or reduce the amount of sugar in your diet. Discover some fantastic gluten-free keto cereal brands, what to look out for in keto products and why all keto products are not gluten-free.   Find out why certified gluten-free granola is a great option to include in your breakfast and where to find them. Gluten-free bagels and bread are an excellent addition to your breakfast; I share with you some great bagel and bread brands on the market. Since dairy can be hard on your body if you are a Celiac, I'll share why you can find a great alternative to dairy in plant-based protein drinks. In addition, I share some out-of-the-box ideas for your gluten-free breakfast, such as smoked salmon and the healthy fats you can add to your gluten-free breakfast.

Travel Gluten-Free Podcast Season 07 Episode 12 Cooking Gluten Free Jewish Foods with Matt Weinstein   Finding healthy and delicious alternative gluten free recipes is always a challenge for many of us who have Celiac disease.

Listen in as we talk about his Jewish heritage, how he started cooking gluten-free Jewish foods, and his process for recipe development.   Discovering Celiac Disease   Matt talks about how he discovered he had Celiac in 2014.

With theaters closed and Matt in the theater business, Matt didn't have much to do. So he turned to his love for cooking for inspiration and eventually discovered that remaking his traditional Jewish foods into a gluten-free recipe was a great way to share delicious traditional Jewish foods while transforming them into amazing gluten-free recipes.   How Matt Created his Gluten Free Recipes   Gluten-free food has a reputation for being subpar. Matt gets his motivation to make his recipes by turning around this stereotype of gluten-free food. Matt has a true passion for delicious gluten-free food, constantly testing out recipes to create delicious gluten-free meals! Listen in as Matt shares some of his favorite recipes at Glass of Weinstein. Being a lover of fine wine, Matt also talks about types of wine and cider and how he incorporates them into his recipes.

We shall be talking about the food side of Bierly Brewing, and we'll chat with Amelia about Amelia's experience with Celiac disease, how Amelia and JP started their dedicated gluten-free brewery and the great menus created at Bierly Brewing.   Amelia's Experience with Celiac Disease   Amelia's mom was diagnosed with Celiac in the 1970s. So, when Amelia was born in the 80s, Amelia's parents were looking out for any signs of Celiac disease. When Amelia was older, they had different tests, including the genetic test showing they had two genes for Celiac disease.

Travel Gluten Free Podcast Season 07 Episode 04 Brewing Gluten Free Beer with Bierly Brewing   I've never liked beer until I tried the brew that JP from Bierly Brewing creates! I'm excited to chat with him about brewing gluten-free beer on the Travel Gluten Free Podcast. JP has been brewing gluten-free beer using gluten-free ingredients since 2016. He researched how to malt gluten-free grains to use in his beers, but he decided to move toward recipe development and brewing.   Why JP Decided to Brew Gluten-free Beers   JP has celiac disease. He discovered this at the age of 26 when he met his partner Amelia, who had already been diagnosed with celiac disease. So, the main reason JP decided to do the gluten-free beer was that many of his wife's family members were gluten-free. JP had been experimenting for some time with gluten-free beer, so it turned out his beer was great, and everybody liked it, starting with his family.   The Brewing Process and Ingredients for Gluten-free Beer    JP uses honey, candy sugar, and rice syrup solids as part of his ingredients. He combines these with hops and gluten-free yeast. JP found out they could make an excellent pale ale, which ticked all the boxes for beer.   Besides, JP doesn't use any barley, wheat, or rye. He also doesn't use oats because there is a large swath of celiacs that still cannot have oats.   Discover how JP comes up with new ingredients for gluten-free beer. JP has sixteen years of experience brewing beer but still reads a lot to develop new beers. When reading, he is particularly interested in the history of the beer, why it was brewed, its ingredients, and the challenges faced.   Origin and Different Types of Beer   JP shares with us the different types of beers. Basically, most beers are defined by national origin. The three top ones are Germany and Austria, Central European, England and Belgian. However, with gluten-free beer, there is more freedom.   Customer Favorites at Bierly Brewing   ​​JP takes us through customers' favorite gluten-free beers. He also discloses his favorite and how two Bierly beers came to be named after his sons.  JP's Recommended Gluten-free Destinations Find out why JP recommends the Portland metro area in northwestern Oregon, Seattle, and the west coast area as a top destination for Gluten-free travelers.

Travel Gluten Free Podcast Season 07 Episode 03 Gluten Free Travel Tips Part II   Today I'm delighted to host Ellen again as we share some top tips for gluten-free travel. Ellen started Gluten-free Vacations to help gluten free travelers plan their vacations to the Caribbean, Mexico, and Disney.   Always Pack Gluten Free Snacks   Ellen once made the mistake of not packing gluten free snacks on one of her travels and could only find French fries as a gluten free option. It is important to pack snacks even if you think you will find gluten free food during your trip. We also talk more about the range of snacks to carry and how to pack them.   Take Gluten Free Translation Cards with You   Although you can use Google translate to make translation cards or explain to someone in another language what you need to eat, Google does not always do a great job on translation accuracy. Make sure to carry translation cards with you when you travel. You could contact the local chamber or embassy for assistance in finding someone to help you create a translation card in another language. We also share an app that you can use to pull up restaurant cards in this episode!   Talk to the Chef to Find Out What's Gluten Free   Introduce yourself to the chef or the restaurant manager, and let them know your need for gluten free food is for medical reasons rather than a personal preference; besides asking the chef what gluten free foods they have, find out how they prepare food in the kitchen. For instance, if they have separate fryers to avoid cross-contamination or if they change their gloves before they prep your food.   Ask for a Microwave and Mini Fridge for Your Gluten-Free Food   Getting a microwave or mini-fridge is one of the most helpful elements when traveling and staying in a hotel or air. However, if you have a refrigerator with hotel food, make sure not to remove that food from the fridge in the hotel you are staying in and put yours in the refrigerator because you will be charged for using their food. Call the front desk to request another refrigerator for your gluten free food.   Notify Your Host of Your Gluten-Free Dietary Needs   Our final tip is on why calling your hosts, be it the resorts, restaurants, cruises, or airplanes, ahead of time and letting them know your dietary needs will make your vacation a better experience for you, your host, and your family or friends that you are traveling with on your adventure!

Travel Gluten Free Podcast Season 07 Episode 02 Gluten Free Travel Tips Part I   I'm stoked to chat with Ellen from Gluten-free Vacation on this episode of Travel Gluten Free Podcast about tips for making gluten-free travel easier. Ellen started Gluten-free Vacations in 2021 to help other travelers plan their vacations to the Caribbean, Mexico, and Disney. Following a diagnosis of Lyme disease and Sarcoidosis in 2018, Ellen decided to change her diet and go gluten-free. Ellen quickly realized how stressful eating out and traveling could be, which led her to start Gluten-free Vacations. Today, Ellen focuses on the Caribbean, Mexico, and Disney, which have excellent all-inclusive resorts that can make a vacation stress-free for someone with celiac disease.    Pack Gluten Free Snacks on Your Vacation   If you're ever in that situation where you don't have free food readily available, you can just grab something out of your backpack or purse. We will look at some great snacks you should carry for your trip.   Using Ziploc Bags to Store Gluten Free Food    It's essential to always have some resealable bags to restock if you encounter gluten-free food. Ziploc bags and resealable bags or containers can take things throughout the rest of your trip.   Gluten Free Translation Cards to Use at Restaurants    We will tell you why this is a must-have if you're going on international travel and when you really need it. How do you get personalized cards that can be translated into the native language of where you are traveling to? Why is this very important? Travel Insurance Policy Documents   Most people don't realize it, but medical insurance can be your lifesaver if you're traveling internationally. We will see why and why you shouldn't rely on just having it online. Ellen can also help in purchasing travel insurance. Everything from booking their resort to booking their transportation from the airport to the resort and back, and their travel insurance and excursions.   Episode Resources Connect with Ellen from Gluten-free Vacations to book your next gluten-free travel!

A Gluten Free PodcastEpisode 20Learn How to Travel Gluten Free with ElikqitieElikqitie is the creator of the Travel Gluten Free podcast. We'll talk about how her gluten-free story began, why she started her podcast, and how she found out that she and her daughter would need to be gluten-free. She also speaks about how she overcame the challenges of being diagnosed with Celiac disease, making all her favorite foods gluten-free, what she does to accommodate her daughter, Aliyah, who also has Celiac disease, and how she creates her personalized translation cards for gluten-free travel.Why Elikqitie Started Travel Gluten FreeWhile on a three-week gluten-free road trip after finding out that she couldn't eat gluten-free, Elikqitie realized that she could easily ruin a week of her vacation if she were to get sick while traveling alone. She looked around on the internet to find information on how to travel gluten-free and realized that no one was primarily speaking or teaching about how to travel if you have Celiac disease. So, after talking to a friend who had his own podcast, she decided to start Travel Gluten Free. Later, she added a gluten-free travel blog and wrote her book, The Guide to Traveling Gluten Free, based on her podcast.Using America's Medical System when You Have Celiac DiseaseAmerica has a privatized healthcare system, which means that residents and citizens do not have subsidized medical care. So if you can't afford the expensive health insurance, ranging from $500 to $1500 a month for a family of four, you have to pay out-of-pocket for your care. Even with good medical insurance, Elikqitie typically spends USD 5000 a year for her medical costs.How to Be Successful with Your Diet while Having Celiac DiseaseElikqitie says that one of the keys to being successful on a gluten-free diet is searching for or finding out how to make your favorite foods gluten-free. When you have what you like to eat, you are much less likely to cheat on your gluten-free diet, and you'll have a better outlook on living with Celiac disease.Tips on Traveling Gluten FreeShe gives some great tips on traveling gluten-free, such as why you shouldn't assume all chain restaurants are the same in different countries, why she tells servers at restaurants that she has a "gluten allergy" when she's eating out, and how she orders out safely eating gluten-free at restaurants.Listen in to find out which cities and countries are best to travel to when you're gluten-free, why you'll want to go on a cruise for your vacation if you're a gluten-free traveler, and why we both love podcasting about gluten-free!Podcast ResourcesVisit Travel Gluten Free Podcast on the webFollow Travel Gluten Free on InstagramJoin Our Gluten Free Family!Reach out to us via email: aglutenfreefamily@gmail.comA Gluten Free Family on InstagramShow notes for this episode have been crafted by Write For You.

Travel Gluten Free Podcast Episode 167 Best Countries for Gluten Free Travel   Traveling Abroad Gluten Free   When traveling outside the United States, you're adding more challenges to eating safely depending on where you have decided to vacation; however; you can overcome these issues and throw down the gluten-free gauntlet with the following overseas travel advice!   What Country Should I Visit for My First Trip Abroad?   When you're gluten-free, there are definitely experiences that will excite and inspire you. However, you may know from experience that finding food may not be so "inspirational," especially if you have more than one food you're trying to avoid.    For your first overseas experience, I would definitely recommend trying out a country where many locals speak English, so you have less chance of being glutened. I'd also recommend flying to the country you want to visit and traveling via cruise, which lowers your chances of getting sick even more. You can easily skip eating lunch during the day when you are out galavanting around because of the sheer amount of food you will eat at other times during your cruise. Two of my favorites I would definitely recommend: London and Iceland.   Want to find out more about the best gluten-free cities and countries around the world for your next vacation? Then check out The Guide to Traveling Gluten Free, the best gluten-free travel guide for anyone who lives a gluten-free lifestyle and wants the freedom to travel safely once again!   Journey with Travel Gluten Free Get the BEST all-natural gluten-free travel cosmetics at Lemongrass Spa!  Find cool gluten-free swag at my gluten-free swag shop The Guide to Traveling Gluten Free will walk you through planning and enjoying your next gluten-free travel adventure!   Follow Travel Gluten Free on Social Media  Twitter, Facebook, Youtube, Pinterest, Instagram   *Spread the love of Travel Gluten Free podcast and share this episode with a friend*

Do you find yourself having to eat a snack you brought while everyone else enjoys “real” food?   One of the deciding factors for the location I'm traveling to is the availability of safe, gluten-free, Celiac-friendly food. So what elements of a city lend that town to being gluten-free friendly? While there isn't a “written in stone” order or process to find out which cities are more accommodating to our gluten-free community, cities that have the following characteristics usually have a better variety of safe food to eat for specialty diets such as Celiac:   College towns Cities that value culture and art Locations that are highly densely populated Coastal towns Anywhere in California Cities that are older than 150 years   Want to find out more about the best gluten-free cities and countries around the world for your next vacation?

Travel Gluten Free Podcast Episode 164 Backpacking Around the World with Katie Barbaro of Casual Ecstasy Podcast   Welcome to the Travel Gluten Free Podcast. Today, I have Katie Barbaro from the Casual Ecstacy Podcast. Katie is an occupational therapist, comedian, and up-and-coming author. She believes that life should be lived like an improv show, and hopes to help others awaken their potential.    Solo Travelling the World    Katie is an extensive traveler. In 2018, she spent the year visiting Thailand, Iceland, England, France, the Netherlands, and other parts of Europe and Asia. She decided to leave her normal life behind because of her life coach, who identified many of her personal values. Katie asked herself, “What would feel the most me?”, and decided that travelling the world with no plan and only her intuition to rely on was the answer.    Katie did much of her traveling thanks to the Workaway platform, which allows volunteers to connect and live with host families in exchange for a few hours of work. Throughout her trip, Katie stayed with friends new and old, meeting many open-hearted people and volunteering at incredible places.    Surrendering to the Present Moment   When travelling Asia, Katie found a different kind of relaxation in her body upon landing. There was a peacefulness in Asia that wasn't present in Europe or the U.S.. In the West, we're taught that being busy equals happiness. For Katie, travelling brings her into the present moment. She's gone into many new and unique situations with the intention of learning and appreciating, as a lifelong student.    Katie talks about the spontaneity of solo travelling with an anecdote of her motorbike rental in Indonesia. She was never someone who would ride anything with two wheels before, but by pushing herself out of her comfort zone, she got to evolve her own idea of who she is. Through traveling, Katie has cultivated her intuition and learned how to be at home with herself, no matter where she is.    Publishing Her First Book    Katie recently published her book, “Fed Up An Illustrative Guide to Food Freedom.” She hand-wrote and illustrated the book to document her recovery from disordered eating. The cartoon-based memoir focuses on her raw and honest experience with over-exercising, calorie-counting, and more.   Katie feels that the harmful pressures of diet culture in the U.S. are inescapable, and strongly believes in speaking out in order to demystify the taboo around eating disorders. If you have any kind of weird relationship with food, Katie says, this book is for you.    Listen in to hear about Katie's mystery trip, the lessons she's learned as a solo female traveller, and where she plans to go next.    Connect with Katie on Instagram and find her book on her website   Happy 30th Birthday to Our Sponsor Kinnikinnick!   Kinnikinnick is celebrating its 30th birthday and is offering Travel Gluten Free listeners a 10% discount when you use the code TravelGlutenFree at checkout!

Travel Gluten Free Podcast Episode 163 Portable Gluten-Free Food Ideas for the Gluten Free Traveler   Welcome to the Travel Gluten Free Podcast. Today, I'm sharing some easy, portable gluten-free food ideas to bring with you on your next adventure. By the time this airs, I will have just gotten back from a cruise, and I'm excited to share my experience with you soon. But until then, have a few great, gluten-free tips for travelling.    What Kind of Gluten-Free Snacks to Travel With   Make sure to bring snacks that don't have any kind of coating or chocolate that will melt and make a mess out of everything. Always check the labels for glaze, chocolate, or anything of the sort. I love granola bars from Lara, and there are plenty of great brands that are free from top allergens such as Yes! or Ka-Pop!. Other snacks that aren't brand specific that I like are seaweed snacks, apple sauce packets (yes, just like the ones for toddlers) or fruit snacks and gummies that are all made up of pure, organic ingredients. Remember to always read the label before buying something new, and don't trust something that's advertised as GF unless it's certified gluten-free.    What I Look for in a Hotel Room as a GF Traveller    I always make sure to get a hotel room with either a small kitchen or kitchenette, and at the very least a microwave or fridge. It makes it so much easier to snack at night, rather than going out, and is much more convenient when packing your own safe food and drinks.    Most places will generally have a fridge and microwave, but always make sure to check. One tip I've learned is that many hotels in Las Vegas don't provide a fridge you can use, instead filling it with snacks they want you to pay for. But, you can call the front desk and have them bring you a refrigerator for all of your gluten-free goodies.    Where to Shop for Gluten Free Foods while Travelling    An unexpected way to find food while traveling is in HomeGoods. They have a surprisingly decent selection of GF snacks that I like to try before travelling, so that I know what I like beforehand. WinCo also has a great variety of allergen-free foods as reasonable prices.    Another tip is to go to Whole Foods and see what they offer there, and then check the product's website to see if you can find the same thing for cheaper. Another gluten-free staple of mine is to bring cookies for dessert, since most restaurants don't offer gluten-free dessert options.    Happy 30th Birthday to Our Sponsor Kinnikinnick!   Kinnikinnick is celebrating its 30th birthday and is offering Travel Gluten Free listeners a 10% discount when you use the code TravelGlutenFree at checkout!

Travel Gluten Free Podcast Episode 161 Living Gluten Free in Toronto with Ashley from Celiac and the Six   Welcome to the Travel Gluten Free Podcast. Today, I have Ashley from ‘Celiac and the Six.' Ashley loves to bake, travel, and explore a gluten-free world for her and her daughter. She also hosts a Facebook group for young moms also living gluten-free.    Being Diagnosed with Celiac Disease   Ashley found out she had celiac as a teenager. Working in a bakery, surrounded by flour, she felt something wasn't right in her body. Her doctor insisted it was IBS, but as her reaction to certain foods worsened, Ashley knew it was more than that. By being persistent, she was able to get tested and diagnosed.    Creating a Platform for Gluten-Free Moms   While pregnant, Ashley noticed common pregnancy tips weren't always accessible for gluten-free women. She saw a need for a community of GF women and mothers, and decided to make one.    'Celiac and the Six' was born out of Ashley's love for Drake. It all started from a desire to showcase GF finds while also becoming a mother. Ashley started out on Instagram, and has watched her community grow over the last year.    Finding Gluten-Free Options in Toronto, Canada   Ashley describes the food scene in Toronto as 10/10. Not only are there many cultures, there are many GF-dedicated restaurants. When looking for a place to eat, Ashley makes sure to ask plenty of questions. What cross-contact protocols do they have? Where do they source their gluten-free ingredients?    Ashley also made a list of her favorite GF options in the Toronto area. Few restaurants offer diverse GF options for kids, so she included places both she and her daughter love. Most of her favorite spots are locally-owned and allergen-conscious.    Listen in to hear Ashley's favorite GF spots, her experience with celiac and motherhood, and how to join her GF community.   Connect with Ashley on her website, Celiac and the 6ix, or at her Instagram under the same name.    Happy 30th Birthday to Our Sponsor Kinnikinnick!   Kinnikinnick is celebrating its 30th birthday and is offering Travel Gluten Free listeners a 10% discount when you use the code TravelGlutenFree at checkout!

Travel Gluten Free Podcast Episode 160 How to Find Safe, Gluten-Free Restaurants for Your Kids with Jenn Bigler    Welcome to the Travel Gluten Free Podcast. Today, I'm talking with Jenn Bigler from Living Freely Gluten Free. She runs a platform dedicated to gluten-free and dairy-free living, and is the author of two allergy-friendly cookbooks. With multiple food allergies to be aware of, Jenn is dedicated to creating delicious meals the entire family can share.    Food Allergies in the Whole Family    Jenn discovered she had a gluten allergy in her 20s, and later noticed symptoms of food allergy in her children. Jenn encourages parents to advocate for their kids when it comes to allergies. Food allergy symptoms in children can easily be misdiagnosed as ADHD or other behavioral disorders, so be insistent on testing for allergens.    Now, Jenn has been gluten-free for 10 years. She started her blog as a collection of recipes from a creative young mom figuring out how to feed herself and her son. She turned that blog into a business, where she can reach more people with recipes that help them lead happier, healthier lives.    Family-Friendly Gluten-Free Cooking   Jenn is the author of two cookbooks: “Living Freely Gluten Free” and “101 Incredible Gluten Free Recipes.” Both are gluten free and dairy free. She recommends the first to anyone who's new to cooking and wants family-friendly, homestyle meals. The second one is more adventurous, with recipes for German chocolate cake, doughnuts, and more. Both books are about cooking one meal for the whole family, and being able to do it with confidence.    Traveling with Kids Gluten-Free   Jenn always recommends packing your own safe snacks and meals while going on trips. Each of her kids have their own snack bag, which can be refilled and taken anywhere. Lately, she's been bringing digestive enzymes, activated charcoal, and lactic tablets with her to avoid an upset stomach ruining anymore vacations.    Her family's next trip is to Disneyland. One of Jenn's favorite restaurants is the Wine Country Trattoria in California Adventure. With so many gluten-free options, the whole family is happy to eat there. She also recommends any of the breakfast locations, which are very accommodating to allergens.    Listen in to hear how Jenn built her gluten-free platform, her experience with publishing, and her advice for working around a multi-allergy family.    Happy 30th Birthday to Our Sponsor Kinnikinnick!   Kinnikinnick is celebrating its 30th birthday and is offering Travel Gluten Free listeners a 10% discount when you use the code TravelGlutenFree at checkout!

Travel Gluten Free Podcast Episode 159 The Advantages of Camping in State Parks Gluten Free   We all love our national parks. But it's so easy to overlook the sunning state parks that many of us have right in our backyard! In this episode, I share some of the benefits I've learned in choosing a state park over a national park. You'll find that you can do a lot of the same activities inside a state park. Sometimes, there's even more options for fun than at a national park! I also have a list of my favorite state parks (on both coasts!) to get you excited for your next gluten free adventure.    Avoid the Crowd of a National Park   One of the biggest advantages of staying at a state park over a national park is the crowds. State parks are often less crowded than national parks, where the wait time just to get inside can be up to two hours. I sometimes only see two or three other people camping when I stay in state parks. With fewer people camping, hiking, or biking, you're more free to get outside and relax in the outdoors.    Less Restrictions on Your Visit   State parks don't typically have the same protective regulations that national parks do. This means there is less restriction on what activities you can do in a state park. Boating and other watersports, for example, are often prohibited in national parks--but there are plenty of options inside a state park! Best of all, state parks are dog-friendly! No need to leave your furry friend behind at the campsite like in national parks; in state parks, they're allowed on the hiking trail with you!   Take Advantage of Your Backyard's Beauty   Most of all, state parks are local. They're easy to drive to, and there's usually two dozen or more in any given state. It's easy to find a nearby state park: just Google ‘state parks' and your state's name. You don't have to go out of your way to find something amazing; oftentimes, state parks can only be a 15 minute drive away. So, if you're considering a national park, check to see if there's a state park nearby! You can always take advantage of the lower prices, fewer crowds, and the overlooked beauty of your local state park.    Happy 30th Birthday to Our Sponsor Kinnikinnick!   Kinnikinnick is celebrating its 30th birthday and is offering Travel Gluten Free listeners a 10% discount when you use the code TravelGlutenFree at checkout!

Travel Gluten Free Podcast Episode 158 Rerun: Tips on Camping Gluten-Free   Since many people have been camping for their COVID vacation, I wanted to share with you great gluten-free food prep tips for creating meals, camping snacks, and food storage when you're camping. I've learned these experiences the hard way by making mistakes while on the road and eating out of the back of my car or at the campfire. Take steps to eliminate the hassle and expending energy on clean up when you're camping with these camping COVID-19 tips!   Gluten-Free Snacks for Hiking   If you are going hiking and need hiking snacks, the most efficient way to pack these is to buy single servings and put one type of snack in each Ziploc bag - this is one of the expenses I will incur because Ziploc is sturdier than other brands of plastic storage bags.   Marinating Gluten-Free Foods   An easy and efficient way to prepare your marinated food is to take your favorite gluten-free salad dressing and place your meal to be marinated into a double Ziploc. If you are using tofu, make sure to use firm tofu and plan to eat the first or second night, as tofu can fall apart quickly. Also, make sure to cut in thick slabs to be more sturdy.   For a quick and easy marinade, take your food to be marinated, add favorite salad dressing, place in double Ziploc, close bag, take all air out, then seal. Keep cold until ready to use.   Gluten-Free COVID Camping Soups   To create easy soups, prep and blend your spices ahead of time and put them in an air-tight container. Label your container. Use dried spices instead of fresh if you are not going to use them in the first two days. Then, bring along canned items that you are going to use to make your soup. Make only the amount you need for one night - storing leftovers is time and energy-consuming.    Happy 30th Birthday to Our Sponsor Kinnikinnick!   Kinnikinnick is celebrating its 30th birthday and is offering Travel Gluten Free listeners a 10% discount when you use the code TravelGlutenFree at checkout!

Travel Gluten Free Podcast Episode 156 Traveling Responsibly and Embracing Conscious Travel by Stephen Bailey   Welcome to the Travel Gluten Free Podcast! Today, I have the honor of replaying my last guest's podcast episode. Stephen Bailey of the Kated Travel Podcast, graciously shared his episode titled Embracing Conscious Travel. I'm excited to share this episode with you, and I believe wholeheartedly that we need to travel responsibly so that the special places on Earth will be left intact and in their beauty and splendor for generations to come.   Embracing Responsible Travel    Episode 156 of Travel Gluten Free Podcast is a replay of the Kated Travel Podcast's Episode 252.   “The CEO of Intrepid Travel said that people on trips don't want to be burdened by being conscious, they just want to have a good time. Host Stephen Bailey fundamentally disagrees.    Travel is an opportunity for us to be more conscious, to open our minds to the impact we have on our destinations, and just as importantly, the impact our destinations can have on us. We can all embrace more conscious ways of travel, without losing the care-free feeling of an escape. Being conscious will help us have a more sustainable future and also helps to create a better travel experience, for you, the traveller.”   Connect with Stephen from Kated Travel Connect with Stephen on Kated Travel Podcast Follow Kated Travel on Instagram   Journey with Travel Gluten Free Get the BEST all-natural gluten-free travel cosmetics at Lemongrass Spa!  Find cool gluten-free swag at my gluten-free swag shop The Guide to Traveling Gluten Free will walk you through planning and enjoying your next gluten-free travel adventure!   Follow Travel Gluten Free on Social Media  Twitter, Facebook, Youtube, Pinterest, Instagram   Spread the love of Travel Gluten Free podcast and share this episode with a friend

Travel Gluten Free Podcast Episode 155 Living in Africa as a Digital Nomad with Stephen Bailey of Kated Travel Podcast   Welcome to the Travel Gluten Free Podcast! Today, I'm speaking with Stephen Bailey of Kated Travel Podcast about his experience as a digital nomad and his most exciting travel experiences in his 14-year journey around the world.    Traveling as a Digital Nomad   Stephen traveled to every continent, except Antarctica, by overland travel. Moving to his next destination by train, bus, or walking, he decided on where to go next by where he could get to on the map. On the locations he chose to stay for a period of time, Stephen found a group of travelers to congregate with and decided to give that city an extended stay.   Traveling as a Lifestyle in Comparison to Traveling for Fun   Many traditional forms of employment don't support working remotely before COVID, so it was definitely harder to live a nomadic lifestyle. Living as a nomad can be challenging since you aren't in a place for an extended period of time, so it's hard to make lifelong friends. However, Stephen was able to connect and make friends with locals in the different destinations that he visited.   Listen in to find out how Stephen was able to create a career from travel writing, where he found the best African safari experiences, and why you want to keep your windows and doors closed and locked when traveling through Africa.   Connect with Stephen from Kated Travel Connect with Stephen on Kated Travel Podcast Follow Kated Travel on Instagram   Journey with Travel Gluten Free Get the BEST all-natural gluten-free travel cosmetics at Lemongrass Spa!  Find cool gluten-free swag at my gluten-free swag shop The Guide to Traveling Gluten Free will walk you through planning and enjoying your next gluten-free travel adventure!   Follow Travel Gluten Free on Social Media  Twitter, Facebook, Youtube, Pinterest, Instagram   Spread the love of Travel Gluten Free podcast and share this episode with a friend

Travel Gluten Free Podcast Episode 154 Gluten-Free African Safari Eco-Travel    Welcome to the Travel Gluten Free Podcast, where you can listen in on how to lead a gluten-free lifestyle with more fun and ease! James Mwenda, a native of Kenya, is with me today, and we talk about his fantastic gluten-free, eco-safari tours, which are one of the items on my bucket list for next year! Find out how you can experience Kenyan culture, wildlife, and delicious, fresh, local foods on a Jemu Expeditions tour!   Growing Up Next to Mount Kenya   As a child, James grew up in a village next to Mount Kenya, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Elephants would routinely come into his village and eat everything they could get their trunks around! Finally, rangers came and moved the elephants back into the forest to be in the natural habitat. James enjoyed watching the rangers as a child and knew he wanted to work with wildlife as a ranger ever since.   Saving the Last of the Endangered White Rhinos in Africa   James became a ranger as an adult, and by the time he was able to work with the white rhinos, there were seven of them left on the planet. “My whole perspective changed when I landed being the caretaker of the last of the northern white rhinos. I refused to be the normal caregiver, giving them food and going to sleep and feeling sorry for them. Instead, I wanted to do something for them.” This gave James the motivation to speak up for them and utilize the opportunities available to raise as much awareness as possible for the rhinos and other species he was working with at the time.   Take a Life-Changing Vacation on an African Eco-Safari with Jemu Expeditions   An outstanding safari experience is a life-changing event; James will take you to untouched destinations and meet the local people with unique cultures along the way. This spurs a reality of how we humans are finite in an infinite intricate world. Jemu Expeditions will take you to spots with beauty to see wildlife with stunning backdrops and unbelievable sunsets.   Happy 30th Birthday to Our Sponsor Kinnikinnick!   Kinnikinnick is celebrating its 30th birthday and is offering Travel Gluten Free listeners a 10% discount when you use the code TravelGlutenFree at checkout!

Travel Gluten Free Podcast Episode 151 Adventure Travel with a Touch of Luxury with Robin Cline of Cline & Co.   Welcome to the Travel Gluten Free Podcast, where you can listen in on how to lead a gluten-free lifestyle with more fun and ease! I'll share with you how to eat safely on a cruise ship, and how to ensure you'll get safe, gluten-free food every day of your cruise. To find out more about gluten-free cruising, pick up The Guide to Traveling Gluten Free!   Adventure Travel with a Touch of Luxury   Robin's travel niche is providing her clients with adventure travel that has a luxury backdrop. One of her favorite escapades is on a horseback safari in glamping style. “You still get this great sense of adventure and you're always going to a different place,” says Robin. Riding horses daily with the addition of hot meals and showers is a great way to spend your vacation time when on safari.   Glamping VS. Camping   With glamping, Robin explains, everything is done for you - the tent set-up, cooked meals, and all the amenities you need are set up and ready for you to come back to your campsite for a relaxing evening. “It's almost like having a traveling hotel come with you on vacation.” You have a canvas tent and a sleeping bag with camping, similar to what you would expect with regular camping.    Dining While Camping or Glamping   Robin can set up your gluten-free meals ahead of time, as well as vegetarian meals too! Dietary requests can be made and created on any of Robin's vacation excursions, except for a strict vegan diet.   The Guide to Traveling Gluten Free   Are you anxious about traveling with Celiacs Disease?

Travel Gluten Free Podcast Episode 150 How to Cruise Gluten-Free   Welcome to the Travel Gluten Free Podcast, where you can listen in on how to lead a gluten-free lifestyle with more fun and ease! I'll share with you how to eat safely on a cruise ship, and how to ensure you'll get safe, gluten-free food every day of your cruise. To find out more about gluten-free cruising, pick up The Guide to Traveling Gluten Free!   Booking Your Gluten-Free Cruise   Whether you're booking online through the cruise line or your favorite website or travel agent, you'll want to make sure to call the cruise line with your itinerary cruise number and tell them you are gluten-free. In addition, you'll want to let them know of any other food allergies or sensitivities you have so they can list all of them on your account. This way, the Matre' D can pull up your list and make sure you receive safe food during your cruise vacation.   Choosing Your Dining Room on Your Gluten-Free Cruise   Choose one dining room you would like to eat at for the rest of the week and eat there consistently as the staff, and your maitre D will be more familiar with your diet when you frequent their restaurant. To ensure you receive safe food, try to find the Matre' D for your restaurant, and before the cruise starts, make sure to thoroughly explain your food sensitivity, allergy or Celiac and the importance of receiving safe food because of medical reasons and that your diet isn't a preference. Be clear with him or her that you will be dining in that room all week for dinner, and you're excited to see what dishes you can eat during your time on your cruise vacation.   Dining on Your Gluten-Free Cruise   Let your waiter know you have a pre-order because of a food allergy, as many people don't understand Celiac or auto-immune disease. Feel free to tell the Matre' D you put in your pre-order the night before and that you have a food allergy, and your food should come out with the rest of the food at your table.   Eating Gluten-Free on the Cruise Ship Buffet   Quite honestly, this is the only buffet that I feel safe eating because the chefs on cruise lines really know their food! Look around to see what choices you can see are gluten-free, such as fruit, salad without dressing, and steamed veggies. Go to the counter and ask for the head chef. He or she will give you a tour of the buffet and let you know what foods are safe for you to eat and which ones you'll want to avoid.   The Guide to Traveling Gluten Free   Are you anxious about traveling with Celiacs Disease?

Travel Gluten Free Podcast Episode 149 The Big Four of Rome   Welcome to the Travel Gluten Free Podcast, where you can listen in on how to lead a gluten-free lifestyle with more fun and ease! Travel Gluten Free gives you valuable information from finding a safe restaurant to knowing what food is safe to eat when you travel; I'll be with you every step of the way on your gluten-free journey. Lead your gluten-free life, don't let being gluten-free lead your life. Enjoy Food, Enjoy Travel, and Enjoy Life with your show host, Elikqitie!If you are looking to experience Italy's culture, you may want to pass on going to Rome. However, if you don't mind the tourist crowds and would like to spend a week or two checking out a few of the main attractions in Italy, then Rome is the perfect vacation spot for your next overseas adventure! “If you really like ruins, then Rome would be a fantastic place to vacation!” says Shireen. She suggests spending two days in Rome and spending an additional day visiting the Vatican.    Today I talk with my friend Shireen, another world traveler and culture hound! Shireen shares her experience in Rome, what to see and do when in Rome, and where you can find the tastiest gelato on your travels around Italy!    What to Know When Visiting Rome   If you are looking to experience Italy's culture, you may want to pass on going to Rome. If you don't mind the tourist crowds and would like to spend a week or two checking out a few of the main attractions in Italy, then Rome is the perfect vacation spot for your next overseas adventure! “If you really like ruins, then Rome would be a fantastic place to vacation!” says Shireen. She suggests spending two days in Rome and spending an additional day to visit the Vatican.    Favorite Way to Travel in Rome   Shireen and I are both fans of hop-on and hop-off bus tours around the globe. If you're wanting to get a great deal on your next hop-on and hop-off adventure, check out my travel deals page on my website. We both agree that getting a deal on a bus tour is the perfect way to quickly see many of the sites. In addition, this is an excellent method to transport yourself around a city, without having to worry about parking and driving in a town you aren't familiar with.   With the bus tour, you can see many of the major attractions quickly. If you have a limited amount of time in a city, this is the perfect way to capture various highlights in just a day or two of your visit. In addition, you can get great pictures of the statues, buildings, and cultural places in the city you are vacationing when you sit in the open-air bus seating.   You'll definitely want to check out the local churches as many of them sell opera tickets for different performances at the local places of worship. Shireen says, “My friend that was with me doesn't even like opera and she loved it!” You'll hear the arias - the opera's highlights - which give you a condensed version of an entire opera without missing the best pieces.   When in Rome, Eat Gelato!   Shireen has the BEST philosophy when it comes to eating gelato: “Once you finish eating gelato, you just get more gelato! It's a philosophy that's very easy to live by, and very easy to follow.” I am on board with that philosophy for sure! You can find gelato every 200 yards in Rome, so it's a great place to test many different flavors and brands of gelato!   When to Visit Rome   Although the summertime is a good time of the year to visit if you're looking for fewer crowds, it's also scorching in Rome during the summertime. Of course, you can visit in the cooler months for better weather, but you will find that it's more crowded in Rome.   Visiting the Colosseum in Rome   “There's so much history around the Colosseum in Rome.” As a lover of history, the Colosseum was the perfect spot for her to visit. You can learn many of the details about the mystery of the Colosseum that you didn't learn in school. “You also don't realize how big it is until you are standing right next to it. The Colosseum is massive!.” She says, “There's something very magical about knowing how many thousands of years old it is, and yet it's still standing. You're really standing in history.”    The Pantheon   Considered a religious structure, the Pantheon is a sundial that is restricted to the amount of visitors that can walk the steps in an effort to preserve this ancient Roman landmark. When you visit, you'll need to be covered to your shoulders and down to your knees, similar to when you could visit Notre Dame in Paris.   The Infamous Trevi Fountain in Rome   This ornate fountain contains many statues of Roman gods, in various poses, with water spouting from the carved stone. Every year, people climb into the fountain, although that is not allowed in Rome. However, Italian police are standing around the fountain, so be warned that you can get caught if you decide to take a dip in the Trevi Fountain!   Visiting the Vatican   Shireen suggests planning ahead and getting a tour of the Vatican. Not only do you receive a great tour, but you also get to skip the wait! Bypass the line and get into the Vatican with a tour. Once you are in, you can walk about anywhere tourists are allowed to visit inside this ancient building.    Happy 30th Birthday to Our Sponsor Kinnikinnick!   Kinnikinnick is celebrating its 30th birthday and is offering Travel Gluten Free listeners a 10% discount when you use the code TravelGlutenFree at checkout!

Travel Gluten Free Podcast Episode 148 Celebrating 30 Years of Gluten-Free Goodness with Jerry Bigam of Kinnickinnick Gluten Free Foods   Welcome to the Travel Gluten Free Podcast, where you can listen in on how to lead a gluten-free lifestyle with more fun and ease! Travel Gluten Free gives you valuable information from finding a safe restaurant to knowing what food is safe to eat when you travel; I'll be with you every step of the way on your gluten-free journey. Lead your gluten-free life, don't let being gluten-free lead your life. Enjoy Food, Enjoy Travel, and Enjoy Life with your show host, Elikqitie!   Jerry Bigam joins me today to chat about the history and development of his delicious and tasty line of gluten-free foods and gluten-free snacks. Jerry and Kinnikinnick have spearheaded many firsts in the world of gluten-free food, including the first food company to sell food from a company website and is currently the only family-owned gluten-free food company. Listen in to discover how Jerry grew the business to what it is today, how Kinnikinnick is celebrating their 30th anniversary, and the new gluten-free items they are producing for their anniversary celebration!   Meet Jerry Bigam   Jerry is a native Canadian whose wife was diagnosed with Celiac disease in the early 90s. With a lack of good gluten-free food, Jerry and his wife found Kinnikinnick and decided to purchase half the company. He took Kinnikinnick from a 3,000 square foot facility selling in Canada to a multinational gluten-free brand. You can find out more about the history of Kinnikinnick on their heritage page.   Why Kinnikinnick?   Kinnikinnick is the name for Bearberry, the favorite fruit of Canadian bears. Naturally high in Vitamin C, these bright red alpine berries are a vital food source that lasts the local bears through the winter.  Native Americans prize them as well, using them in pemmican which is a nutritious mix of meat protein and fat that lasts for years, similar to beef jerky.. In Algonquin, Kinnikinnick also means ‘mixture', referring to its use with tobacco and believed to carry the smoker's prayers to the Great Spirit. Tea from the leaves is also used to treat urinary tract diseases and can help with obesity.   History of Kinnikinnick   In 1991, Ted Wolff and Gudrun Von Selzam moved to Canada from Germany. After stints working in health food stores, they came up with the idea of producing allergy-conscious foods for Edmonton's Farmer's Market. With Ted in charge of recipe development and Gudrun running the marketing department, Kinnikinnick was born!     In 1992, Ted and Gudrun had enough of a following to open their first store, a tiny 250 sq ft space on Whyte Avenue. The following year, they expanded and moved to a 1,500 sq ft store selling made-from-scratch gluten-free creations as well as cookies and pasta. The little business with a big heart begins to boom, and so does their family with the arrival of daughter Robin.   Ted and Gudrun doubled the size of their business by taking over the space next door and opening their doors as the first gluten-free restaurant café in Canada! Within a year, their constantly evolving line of buns and baked goodies are selling in health food stores in Canada.    Lynne Bigam, their #1 customer, diagnosed with Celiac disease, is impressed with Ted and Gudrun's goodies. She and her husband Jerry decided to buy into the company and expand their focus on building new markets.    The Premier Brand for Gluten-Free Snacks, Gluten-Free Desserts, and Gluten-Free Goodies!   Kinnikinnick has been creating, developing, and distributing dozens of gluten-free foods to Celiac and others who cannot eat gluten-free. Their distribution is now worldwide, and gluten-free peeps can order their products to have them shipped anywhere in the world!   Happy 30th Birthday Kinnikinnick!   Kinnikinnick is celebrating its 30th birthday, and Jerry would like to offer Travel Gluten Free listeners a 10% discount when you use the code TravelGlutenFree at checkout! Order $55 or more and receive your discount when you checkout in your cart!    Fill your cart with one of Kinnikinnick's new goodies, such as their new vegan and gluten-free chocolate chip cookies, their soft and fluffy hot dog buns, and their flatbread crusts.

This is an epic Catholic pilgrimage to the Spanish city of Santiago de Compostela starting in France. The Camino is actually a network of trails with its most popular route, the Camino Francés, sprawling from the city of Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port at the foot of the French Pyrenees to Santiago de Compostela in northwestern Spain.    This well-worn trail has been walked since the early ninth century and has hosted notable people such as royalty, Roman armies, and Catholic pilgrims. Recently, it has attracted a more diverse crowd. In 2017 alone, over 300,000 hikers, known as “peregrinos,” or pilgrims, completed the trek to Santiago.   Beth Jusino is the author of the book Walking to the End of the World: A Thousand Miles on the Camino de Santiago. “Walking the Camino is a chance to intentionally slow down and move at a human pace, to join a history that's so much bigger than any of us individually.”   Why Jonathon Chose to Walk Over 500 Miles on the Camino de Santiago Trail   The Camino de Santiago is a unique window into the Iberian Peninsula's historical, natural and cultural beauty. If you look at pictures online, it's easy to see why he chose this adventure.

Listen to his comedic adventure story, how he overcame many of the physical challenges, and how he experienced life, death, and birth on the Camino de Santiago.   Backpacking Tips and Logistics   When planning to walk your pilgrimage on the Camino de Santiago, there's a lot to keep in mind. Logistics, places of interest, and finding the best route for your budget, time frame, and fitness level is all key to having a fun and memorable experience on the trail.   Jonathan gives gear tips on what you should buy, what to carry with you, and talks about his mistakes on the trail and what he did to correct them. He also tells his side of the story about naming the group he and his husband walked with and why they want to go back for an anniversary trip!   The Guide to Traveling Gluten Free   Are you anxious about traveling with Celiacs Disease? Does the thought of getting sick on vacation worry you to no end?

Travel Gluten Free Podcast Episode 144 Taking a Trip Back in Time Visiting Stonehenge   Welcome to the Travel Gluten Free Podcast, where you can listen in on how to lead a gluten-free lifestyle with more fun and ease! Travel Gluten Free gives you valuable information from finding a safe restaurant to knowing what food is safe to eat when you travel; I'll be with you every step of the way on your gluten-free journey. Lead your gluten-free life, don't let being gluten-free lead your life. Enjoy Food, Enjoy Travel, and Enjoy Life with your show host, Elikqitie!   In this episode, I'll share with you what you want to do when you visit Stonehenge, visit this World Heritage Site during COVID, and events in Stonehenge and other places of interest, which are featured in the English Heritage organization. Before you visit Stonehenge, make sure to discover more about traveling internationally by picking up The Guide to Traveling Gluten Free before you travel!   History of Stonehenge  The earliest structures known in the immediate area are four or five pits, three of which appear to have held large pine ‘totem-pole like' posts erected in the Mesolithic period, between 8500 and 7000 BC; however; no one understands how these posts relate to the later monument of Stonehenge. When much of southern England was largely covered by woodland, the chalk downland in the area of Stonehenge may have been an unusually open landscape which is the most plausible  reason why this ancient place became the site of an early Neolithic monument complex. This complex included the causewayed enclosure at Robin Hood's Ball, two cursus monuments or rectangular earthworks (the Greater, or Stonehenge, and Lesser Cursus), and several long barrows, all dating from the centuries around 3500 BC. The presence of these monuments probably influenced the later location of Stonehenge. Book Ahead to Visit Stonehenge During COVID Travel   Advance booking is essential to visit Stonehenge, along with wearing a mask at all times. Stonehenge is limiting visitor numbers to help keep everyone safe, and you won't be able to visit without your booking confirmation. If you're a Member or Local Residents Pass holder, your ticket will be free, but you still need to book in advance.   Stonehenge VIP Experience A remarkable opportunity to spend time inside the tranquil circle of Stonehenge, the VIP experience at Stonehenge takes you up close to this world-famous monument. Walk among the inner circle of the Stonehenge ring and learn the secrets of the stones from your knowledgeable host and experience the power and mystery of these ancient sarsens and bluestones for yourself.    Once you arrive at the stones, you can wander amongst these ancient stones, discovering all the fascinating details on these mighty sarsens and bluestones that are only visible up close. Your knowledgeable host can answer questions. While you're in the stone circle, make sure to take photos; you just can't stand on or touch the stones. Visit for an hour outside of their general admission opening hours with a maximum of 30 people per session.  Admission Costs for Stonehenge Stone Circle Experience is priced at £47 for adults (18+) and £28.20 for children aged 5-17. Children under 5 years of age are free. English Heritage Member discounts are available. Guidebooks are priced at £6 and made available in eight languages, detailing the history of Stonehenge and its remarkable landscape.  Stonehenge and other English Heritage Sites Events   When visiting England, you can check out more history by visiting other sites listed on the English Heritage register, which are nearby Stonehenge, such as Tintagel Castle, Pendennis Castle, and Old Sarum. In addition, you can create a week-long trip by adding Dover Castle, Osborne, Hadrian's Wall, and the Battle Abbey, which are also situated along with southern England.    The Guide to Traveling Gluten Free Are you anxious about traveling with Celiacs Disease?

Travel Gluten Free Podcast Episode 143 How to Fly Gluten Free   Welcome to the Travel Gluten Free Podcast, where you can listen in on how to lead a gluten-free lifestyle with more fun and ease! Travel Gluten Free gives you valuable information from finding a safe restaurant to knowing what food is safe to eat when you travel; I'll be with you every step of the way on your gluten-free journey. Lead your gluten-free life, don't let being gluten-free lead your life. Enjoy Food, Enjoy Travel, and Enjoy Life with your show host, Elikqitie!   In this episode, I'll share with you how to travel gluten-free when you're flying. Find out how to pack your food, learn how to successfully get through TSA without getting your bag searched and how to communicate to the airlines that you need a specialty gluten-free diet. Learn more about flying gluten-free by picking up a copy of my book, The Guide to Traveling Gluten Free.   Finding Food in an Airport   Finding safe options to eat in an airport can be super tricky! Many airport restaurants are slammed busy serving, so this puts a high level of cross-contamination in place and creates an unsafe food prep environment for anyone who is Celiac.   Nowadays, some airports are posting their restaurants and offering gluten-free offerings, such as Atlanta Airport Restaurant Menu and Salt Lake City Airport Food Guide. You can look at the restaurants they have and choose accordingly. I will look for Freshens as they have certified gluten-free smoothie offerings, PF Changs for safe food, and Jersey Mike's subs, all of which offer safe Celiac food. Although Jimmy John's doesn't have a gluten-free protocol, I've never been sick of one as they are food aware and will change their gloves and give you separate condiment packages.   Types of Snacks to Pack While You're Flying   When you're flying gluten-free, certain types of food and snacks are better to take than others when you're traveling. For example, when traveling, you'll want to avoid large packaging, food that crumbles easily (such as rice crackers), liquids more than 2oz, chocolate, or any types of coatings which will readily melt. You'll also want to avoid snack items that can easily leak such as peanut butter and any food that has liquid in the pouch.   You'll want to look for and bring a snack on the airplane as many airlines do not have safe gluten-free snacks. My favorite snacks to bring on a plane are nuts, meat sticks from EPIC, protein bars, pumpkin seeds, dried fruit, and crackers.    How to Pack Your Gluten Free Snacks When Flying   When packing your snacks, make sure to put them at the top of your suitcase so that they don't get squished in transit. If you're packing your snacks in a check-on bag, put smaller bags into a larger Ziploc bag so that they are easy to see if the agent opens up your checked bag after scanning.    Using packing cubes is a great way to organize your vacation necessities, including your food and snacks. I recommend getting smaller sized packing cubes so that you can easily pack your items in a weekend bag or suitcase.    You'll also want to make sure that you have travel-sized liquids and cosmetics in your bag before you check it or carry-on the airplane. I've selected gluten-free travel cosmetics on my website that you'll love, so check out my Lemongrass Spa gluten-free travel cosmetics and get my favorite, the tinted sunscreen in vanilla flavor!   Getting Through Airport Security with Gluten Free Food   This part can be tricky if you don't know what to do! When I pack my snacks, I double Ziploc my snacks in bags. After double Ziploc, I'll take my snacks out of my bag and put them in a separate bin so that agents who are looking at the scanner can tell it's food and not a dangerous weapon LOL. Additionally, putting all your food in Ziploc bags protects your food packaging from being touched by the TSA agents, keeping your food clean and safe.   Ordering Gluten-Free Food for Your Flight   Make sure to specify that you need a gluten-free meal as soon as you book your ticket. Always call the airline you booked with directly to ensure they have your specialty diet needs taken care of so you aren't stuck without food on a long flight.   The Guide to Traveling Gluten Free Are you anxious about traveling with Celiacs Disease?

Travel Gluten Free Podcast Episode 142 New Find Me Gluten Free App Features   Welcome to the Travel Gluten Free Podcast, where you can listen in on how to lead a gluten-free lifestyle with more fun and ease! Travel Gluten Free gives you valuable information from finding a safe restaurant to knowing what food is safe to eat when you travel; I'll be with you every step of the way on your gluten-free journey. Lead your gluten-free life, don't let being gluten-free lead your life. Enjoy Food, Enjoy Travel, and Enjoy Life with your show host, Elikqitie!   In this episode, I'm chatting with Jason Elmore, a return guest from Episode #10. Today, Jason talks about his handy app, Find Me Gluten Free, and the new features he's created to make finding a safe, gluten-free restaurant even easier than before! We chat about his favorite, local, gluten-free restaurants in Portland, Oregon and fun activities you'll want to do next time you visit Oregon.   Find Me Gluten Free App   Jason Elmore was diagnosed with Celiac disease shortly after graduating with his computer science degree. He found that dining out and eating safely gluten-free was a huge challenge, so he decided to put his skill set to work, creating an app to assist those of us who are gluten-free in finding safe food at restaurants. Jason worked on weekends for over a year to create his app, which features finding gluten-free restaurants, along with reviews from others who lead a gluten-free lifestyle.    With a community of over 3 million people, Find Me Gluten Free is the most popular on-the-go resource for the gluten-free traveler, where the gluten-free among us can easily find and read reviews on restaurants all over the United States. Find Me Gluten Free is a tool that anyone who leads the gluten-free lifestyle should have in their toolbox! Use it at home to discover new restaurants in your area and use it while traveling - either within the US or abroad - to easily find restaurants to eat at close by and safe!   Find Me Gluten Free App Free and Premium Features   There are two versions of Find Me Gluten Free - a paid and a free version. The free version of the app gives you restaurants by location that are gluten-free friendly and dedicated gluten-free friendly. In the free version of the app, you can also search for a type of food such as pizza, beer, bakeries, breakfast, and dinner.   The paid version (which is a no-brainer if you're Celiac) has features such as sorting by most Celiac friendly and details about dedicated space and utensils, so you know which restaurants have the best and safest gluten-free protocol. Bookmark restaurants you want to go to so you can remember which places you'd like to visit in the future.   Read Gluten Free Restaurant Reviews   Leave reviews and pictures of your favorite places with the Find Me Gluten Free App. When I travel, I like to see where I've eaten safely and return to that restaurant to eat again. You can also find out other users' favorite places to eat, where they've left reviews, and which restaurants are on their hit list. In addition to reviews, you can find out what types of foods different restaurants serve and which gluten-free protocol a restaurant has in place.   COVID Gluten Free Restaurant Features   When COVID hit, the pandemic turned the restaurant industry on its head. With hours, seating, and many other factors changing, Jason added COVID information so that our community could add information about how and when you could dine and if the establishment was still open.    New Features added in Find Me Gluten Free App   Finding gluten-free products in the supermarket can be challenging to say the least! Being Celiac, Jason understands this challenge and has added the ability to find new products, brands, and products on the Find Me Gluten Free App with the Discover feature. You can add recipes, photos, comment on fresh foods, find out where to get different gluten-free foods, and interact with other gluten-free members of our community.   The Guide to Traveling Gluten Free   Are you anxious about traveling with Celiacs Disease?

You can receive medical cannabis in tinctures, edibles, whole flowers, vape cartridges, balms, and sprays. “The art of Medical Marijuana and plant-based medicine is to ascertain what ratio and strain might be right for the patient, how best to administer the plant as medicine, and how to utilize patient feedback to get the best outcome.”   Medical Cannabis is different from using marijuana for recreational use. With medical cannabis, patients are using this plant for relief of symptoms, not to get high. If you're looking to find relief from your chronic condition and find that you want to balance the THC in your cannabis, you can try using CBD for a more balanced effect.   How Can I Get a Medical Marijuana Card?   In Utah, you have to qualify under one of the qualifying conditions to get a medical marijuana card. These conditions are Aids, Alzheimer's, chronic pain, terminal illness, ALS, Autism, Chron's, Ulcerative Colitis, seizures, MS, PTSD, muscle spasms, and cancer. To apply for a card, you must have a QMP - a qualified medical provider - who has taken and passed the certification to recommend medical cannabis. I've had only positive experiences at the Utah Therapeutic Clinic with their caring and professional staff.   Once you have been approved for a medical marijuana card, you can meet with a pharmacist at the dispensary located near you to find out which types of cannabis are a good fit for your specific symptoms.    Where Can I Find Medical Marijuana in Utah?   There are almost ten dispensaries located and dispersed throughout Utah. My go to pharmacy is Deseret Wellness in Park City. You can find a list of Utah licensed dispensaries on the Utah Therapeutic Website.   How Should I Dose My Medical Marijuana?   Like other medicinals used, you always want to start with small doses and work your way up. Also, you'll want to try one or two strains at first, then change up to or add medical cannabis as needed. I've had great results using Limonene during the day for depression and their 1:10 tincture for joint pain. In addition, I've been getting much better quality sleep using the Dragonfly Bites, which are edibles.   Why Utah Therapeutic Center for Medical Cannabis?   While you can choose from any medical provider in Utah, my girlfriend recommended Utah Therapeutic Center as she loved their professional customer service. I was really impressed with how much time they spent listening to my health issues and how well they guided me through the process.   Get $25 Off Your First Appointment with Utah Therapeutic Health Center   Mention you heard UTHC on the Travel Gluten Free Podcast and you'll receive $25 off your new patient visit.

Enjoy Food, Enjoy Travel, and Enjoy Life with your show host, Elikqitie!   In this episode, I'm chatting with Crystal Kish of The Spudd Hutt about her vegetarian and mostly gluten-free food truck. Meeting Crystal at Old Town Hot Springs when I visited Steamboat last year, we talked about the importance of offering gluten-free and a dedicated fryer. Little did I know how much she took this to heart and is now creating gluten-free fried food!   Why Gluten Free?   When she was diagnosed with an auto-immune disease, Crystal researched and found out that gluten can be an antagonistic and inflammatory food. Once she found out that there was a need for gluten-free and realized she could convert many of her recipes, Crystal turned her vegan food truck into a mostly gluten-free vegan food truck, hence The Spud Hutt! Crystal says she is constantly learning and realizing many others are looking for gluten-free food, not just those with Celiac. She believes that eating gluten-free would make a change in the health of most people.    How Crystal Decided to Make The Spud Hutt a Food Truck   Starting purchasing her food at a bulk-foods place specializing in healthy foods, Crystal supported this grocer and purchased many of her food items from here to support her local business. They decided to start a food truck amidst the COVID epidemic as it was the easiest way to get The Spudd Hutt began to. Currently, Crystal is growing and plans to add another food truck this summer and a restaurant in the near future.    The Guide to Traveling Gluten Free Are you anxious about traveling with Celiacs Disease?

Travel Gluten Free Podcast Episode 139 Fun Things to Do and Gluten Free Restaurants in Steamboat Springs, Colorado   Welcome to the Travel Gluten Free Podcast, where you can listen in on how to lead a gluten-free lifestyle with more fun and ease! Travel Gluten Free gives you valuable information from finding a safe restaurant to knowing what food is safe to eat when you travel; I'll be with you every step of the way on your gluten-free journey. Lead your gluten-free life, don't let being gluten-free lead your life. Enjoy Food, Enjoy Travel, and Enjoy Life with your show host, Elikqitie!   In this episode, I’ll share with you how to go spring hopping and how to enjoy countless hours soaking in hot springs, which springs I liked the best, and amazing gluten-free food you can find when you’re visiting Steamboat Springs.   Colorado Road Trip    Planning a vacation to Colorado is easier than you think! Because Colorado is such a health-conscience state, there are many options that a member of our gluten-free community can enjoy safely. With plenty of health-food stores and dining options you’re sure not to go hungry when traveling to Colorado by car. In addition to traveling by car, the Denver airport is a major hub, so you can also fly-in and out of Denver International easily. Since there are only a few gluten-free places inside the airport, plan to get a bite to eat after landing.    Hot Spring in Steamboat Springs, Colorado   Old Town Hot Springs   From their website, "Old Town Hot Springs has eight different pools providing different functions to the facility. All of the water originates from the all natural Heart Spring and eventually flows into the additional pools. The pools vary in temperature from 103 degrees to our 80 degree lap pool."   Definitely a local's favorite, Old Town Hot Springs is part of the Steamboat Rec Facility. You can purchase a day pass and soak all day long in the springs. Enjoy the waterslide, rock climbing wall, or regular chlorinated lap pool for some water fitness.    I enjoyed the size of this facility and the family-friendly atmosphere of Old Town Hot Springs. Each pool is maintained at a different temperature to find the amount of heat you are most comfortable in. Besides the large main pool with a bridge, there are several other smaller pools you can soak in that are more adult-oriented.  In addition to the main hot springs, Steamboat also boasts smaller springs that are not heated over 75 degrees. You can find a list and location here on this Hot Springs guide.    Strawberry Park Hot Springs   Definitely my favorite of all the hot springs I've been to in Steamboat; Strawberry Park Hot Springs offers multiple large pools with varying levels of heat. In addition to the pools, they also have chairs and provide a large restroom with a changing area. You can stay overnight in one of their cabins, the caboose train, or bring your own tent for tent camping along with enjoying the hot springs. If you're on the risque side, you're in luck! Strawberry offers clothing-optional bathing after dark to enjoy bathing in your birthday suit.   Eating Gluten Free in Steamboat Springs   Do you like Greek food? If so, head over to Skull Creek Greek to eat falafels in a dedicated fryer and gluten-free pita bread! Also, check out Seedz Breakfast and Lunch Cafe, where most of their menu is gluten-free, and all of their menus are healthy! Grab gluten-free bread to go after eating your gluten-free pancakes for breakfast or lunch.    If you’re looking for a dedicated gluten-free facility, then head on over to Inclusions Bakery and Dessert Bar for a yummy and gluten-free cinnamon roll or if you’re looking for lunch, try the pot pie or quiche. Since the owner is Celiac, they understand the importance of being gluten-free and ensuring amazingly good food for all of us in the community.   For more lunch choices, grab a bite to eat at Salt and Lime, where the staff can tell you what is safe to eat as their menu isn’t labeled. Looking to take your lunch out for a picnic? Call ahead, and they can have it ready for you! Also, if you like sandwiches, check out the gluten-free offerings at Winona’s Restaurant, where you can dive into a gluten-free hoagie!   The Guide to Traveling Gluten Free Are you anxious about traveling with Celiacs Disease?

Travel Gluten Free Podcast Episode 138 Visiting Devil’s Tower NM and Crazy Horse Memorial   Welcome to the Travel Gluten Free Podcast, where you can listen in on how to lead a gluten-free lifestyle with more fun and ease! Travel Gluten Free gives you valuable information from finding a safe restaurant to knowing what food is safe to eat when you travel; I'll be with you every step of the way on your gluten-free journey. Lead your gluten-free life, don't let being gluten-free lead your life. Enjoy Food, Enjoy Travel, and Enjoy Life with your show host, Elikqitie!   In this episode, I’ll give you the 411 on how to visit Devil’s Tower National Monument and why you want to visit the Crazy Horse Memorial. Devil’s Tower is the geologic formation that was made famous by the Steven Speilberg movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind and not much has changed in the area since the movie was filmed in 1977.   South Dakota and Wyoming Travel Tips    When you’re planning a vacation to South Dakota or Wyoming, you’ll want to be prepared to drive long distances across these vast, open, and rural states. While there are many outdoor and tourist activities to be had, the most essential aspect you’ll need to remember is to consistently map out where you will go in a location that you have decent wi-fi.    Wyoming is a big state, with very few accommodations in between cities as there are many farms and thousands of acres of open space. This is definitely a place where you’ll need to do some planning ahead for your activities - mainly because the drive-in between them can be lengthy. In addition, Wyoming doesn’t have very many places that are gluten-free friendly, which adds to the amount of planning you’ll need to do in advance of your trip.   Devil’s Tower National Monument   If you are a fan of the Steven Spielberg movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind, you’ll definitely want to take a trip out and experience Devil’s Tower National Monument. What I love about this monument, besides the fact that I became completely enamored with this geologic feature when I first saw the movie at the age of five in 1977, is that you can easily see the entire park on the weekend!   From the park entrance, check out the visitor center, which offers you views of the different sides of the monument. The Tower Trail and other hikes offer changing views of the Tower. When you drive in from the highway, you can see the one side of the Tower with the amazing and beautiful landscape surrounding this geologic feature. Definitely pull over and get a picture of the Tower a few miles out before you get into the park. Once inside the park, you’ll be able to hike around the entire Tower with the ability to see many perspectives of the geologic formation. To truly see the Tower, one must observe it from all perspectives.   Before white settlers came into the area and gave this geological feature its American name, our Native American peoples celebrated and lived around the Tower for thousands of years; their modern descendants still maintain a connection with this place on a physical and a spiritual level. “Oral histories passed down by various American Indian tribes, as well as their present-day ceremonies, offer us important perspectives of the Tower.”   Crazy Horse Memorial   The Crazy Horse Memorial is the largest carved monument to date, and if you placed it on top of Mount Rushmore, it would easily consume the entirety of this monument. Over one million people visit this unique and beautiful work of art, which was started in 1939 when Chief Henry Standing Bear met Korczak Ziolkowski 1939 at the World’s Fair. Chief Henry hired Korczak to build and construct this massive undertaking. Along with his wife Ruth Ross and their ten children, Korczak worked daily on their new life project.   You can easily see the mission of Crazy Horse Monument in practice today, “The mission of Crazy Horse Memorial Foundation is to protect and preserve the culture, tradition, and living heritage of all North American Indians. With their mission leading the way, the original sculpture has expanded into a visitor complex of over a dozen buildings, including an educational and cultural center for Native Americans, history and cultural museum, and several carving rooms.    Crazy Horse Memorial is definitely a must-see if you are in South Dakota or Wyoming, so make sure to put this monument on your list. It’s definitely an all-day experience that you won’t want to miss!   Other Fun Activities in Wyoming   Since you’re already in Wyoming, you may want to stop at other locations besides Devil’s Tower and Crazy Horse. One of the other activities I took part in while on my vacation in Wyoming is the Badlands Helicopter Tour we took to see Mount Rushmore National Monument. This was a great choice to view the monument as you avoid all the traffic on the way up. However, you’ll have a hard time getting good pictures of the memorial from a helicopter, but the ride-up is definitely fantastic!   I didn’t get to see a few places but looked like a great option: The Mammoth Site of Hot Springs, South Dakota, the Reptile Gardens, The 1880 Train, The Prairie Berry Winery, which is the region’s most awarded winery. I’d also recommend a hot air balloon ride, which always gives you a fantastic bird’ eye view of the landscape and geology. Fly the Black Hills offers the opportunity for you to soar in a hot air balloon. Also, check out Tatanka, the Story of the Bison, and find out how the bison almost went extinct.    The Guide to Traveling Gluten Free Are you anxious about traveling with Celiacs Disease?

I didn’t know this, but Santa Fe is the fifth largest artistic center in the world! Apparently, Santa Fe is a significant crossroads for singers, songwriters, and artists because this city is a stopover for artists traveling to and from California.   The Indian Market, where local native Americans sell their art, rugs, and other cultural items, and the Spanish Market of Santa Fe are two fun, local markets you can attend in the summer and early fall. During August and September, find lots of local goods and fare to buy and try. In addition to these two markets, visit Zozobra Art Park during harvest time for great local fun.   Chaco Canyon Historical Park, located northwest of Albuquerque, is a tremendous local, national park to visit and learn the history and culture of the region. Two Grey Hills Trading Post sells a variety of native blankets and jackets. Support local Native Americans by stopping by and making a purchase!

Jon recommended several restaurants to eat at, and when I checked, these places were listed as gluten-free friendly, so make sure to stop by and eat at one of these establishments when you’re in Santa Fe.   Try The Plaza Cafe in Santa Fe, Mollie’s, Geronimo Restaurant, which have been local favorites for decades and now cater to gluten-free!

Travel Gluten Free Podcast Episode 132 Gluten Free Road Trips and Gluten Free Breweries with Gluten Free Dave   Welcome to the Travel Gluten Free Podcast, where you can listen in on how to lead a gluten-free lifestyle with more fun and ease! Travel Gluten Free gives you valuable information from finding a safe restaurant to knowing what food is safe to eat when you travel; I'll be with you every step of the way on your gluten-free journey. Lead your gluten-free life, don't let being gluten-free lead your life. Enjoy Food, Enjoy Travel, and Enjoy Life with your show host, Elikqitie!   In this episode, I'm chatting with Gluten Free Dave who has been gluten free for over ten years. Gluten Free Dave's journey began with an autoimmune disease diagnosis of Hashimoto's thyroid disease. A long-term family doctor never tested Dave for thyroid disease because his doctor thought only women had thyroid problems. Changing doctors was a significant first step, but his doctor didn't understand gluten or nutrition. "I have always loved to cook, but since going gluten-free, I have become obsessed with baking too! I was a beer drinker before going gluten-free. I was basically on the Atkins diet after going GF as I didn't know what I was doing and only ate meat and vegetables!"   After going GF, Dave didn't drink beer for over a year because he didn't know GF beers existed. There is a lot of misinformation about what a GF beer is, and he learned the hard way that gluten-removed is not gluten-free!    In line with his passion for beer, Dave has created his vacation adventures around visiting gluten-free breweries. He's visited six of the 15 gluten-free breweries in the US and has a goal to see them all. "My wife and I have planned our recent vacations around the cities that host GF breweries. We research nearby safe restaurants and love to hike." So far, Dave's visited GF breweries in Seattle, WA, Portland OR, Golden CO, St Paul MN, Madison, WI, and Tulsa, OK, with plans to visit more gluten-free breweries in the upcoming Post-COVID travel months!   We talk about his experience with social media and how his social media account has created a common thread with his kids, our delicious brand we both love, Pamcakes and great gluten-free places to visit.   Listen in to find out where you can find great gluten-free breweries, which breweries have a gluten-free food selection, National Park travel tips, and tips for gluten-free travel. Learn tips on gluten-free travel, what dry goods we pack when we travel, and where Dave is planning to travel in the near future!
