As a coeliac or someone suffering from gluten sensitivity, it’s easy to think that the gluten-free product manufacturers are out to get you.
A popular complaint in the gluten-free community is that when compared to regular products, gluten-free options are regularly twice the price, if not much more.
Day to day eating is already tough enough when you’re unable to consume gluten. But travelling long haul to far flung and unfamiliar places? Well that’s a whole other ball game.
In your home town or city, you can rest comfortably knowing where all the good stuff is at. You know where to get your favourite gluten free energy bars and you know which restaurants cater for coeliacs. But all that goes out of the window when you travel to long haul destinations.
We’ll save general travel advice for another post; in this article we’re going to pin down ways you can stay safe (and healthy) as a gluten-free traveller on long haul flights.

I do a lot of eating out with people I don’t know but who I need to impress. And who wants to be a burden for their partner?
Diagnosing the cause of any ill-symptom takes a great deal of wisdom; often validated with a medical degree.
But once you’re diagnosed with Coeliac disease, gluten sensitivity or any other food induced illness, you can sleep easy knowing the cause of your symptoms.
Whether your symptoms are stomach pain, brain fog, hives or something else; they’re often caused by the food you’ve put into your own mouth.

Here’s the thing about gin: most drinkers think gin is made solely from botanicals, like herbs and spices.
However, that’s not so true. Contrary to this popular belief, gin is actually more likely to be produced using a base of pure grain alcohol.
At the time of writing, I’ve been a diagnosed coeliac for over 12 years, and at least for me, it’s never been a problem. My attitude towards a gluten free lifestyle is actually one of pleasure. I thoroughly enjoy my day to day life and diet and I’ve never let CD get in the way.
In fact, I very rarely even think about it.
