Making Gluten Free Bread for the Holidays

The holiday season is upon us, and it’s that time of the year we will be doing lots of cooking for our family and friends, so we need to be extra careful to ensure our food is gluten-free. Join us in today’s Travel Gluten-free Podcast as we talk about what is in gluten-free bread as we also look in depth at gluten-free grains and non-grain gluten-free flour.

Find out why as a Celiac, you should always go for certified gluten-free products. I will also share the certifications that come with certified gluten-free foods.

Gluten-free Bread Ingredients Listen in as I share the different non-grain gluten-free flour, usually made from root vegetables or nuts.

Additional Ingredients for your Gluten-free Bread

Cruising Gluten-Free: A Rough Sail Through the Mediterranean

Do you struggle with food allergies and often wonder how to navigate your way through a cruise ship dietary minefield? Prepare to embark on a journey that will equip you with the skills to deal with such situations. You see, I recently sailed through the Mediterranean on a Celebrity cruise line. The cruise was a mixed bag of experiences - from kayaking in the sea caves of Corfu, Greece, discovering a dedicated gluten-free gelato shop in Rome, to exploring the history-steeped ruins of Olympia. But it wasn't all smooth sailing.

Getting Food Poisoning, Food Mislabeling, and getting Cross-Contamination on Celebrity Cruise Line

Along with the highs, there were some serious lows. As a person with food allergies, the lack of transparency and limited options onboard the Celebrity cruise line lead to some challenging times. I'll share my story of dealing with the ship's chefs, my frustrations regarding the limited gluten-free options, and even the case of an unfortunate food poisoning. But don't worry, I didn't let these difficulties dampen my spirit. Instead, they fueled my resolve to help others navigate through similar situations.

Tips and Advice When Traveling with Food Allergies on a Cruise

To conclude this episode, I will share some valuable tips and tricks that can be lifesavers when you travel with food allergies. You'd be surprised to know the potential of powdered chicken broth and electrolyte drink mix! Also, never underestimate the power of carrying a list of your food allergies in several languages. I look forward to sharing my positive experiences too - the ship's beautiful decorations, top-notch shows, and a sandwich that I can only describe as a gluten-free revelation. So, hop on board the Travel Gluten-Free Podcast; your journey towards a stress-free, allergy-friendly travel experience begins here!

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 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.

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) .

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) .

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!

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.

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.

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!).

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. 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.

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.

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.

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.

What is in Gluten-free Bread?

The holiday season is upon us, and it’s that time of the year we will be doing lots of cooking for our family and friends, so we need to be extra careful to ensure our food is gluten-free. Join us in today’s Travel Gluten-free Podcast as we talk about what is in gluten-free bread as we also look in depth at gluten-free grains and non-grain gluten-free flour.

Gluten-free Versus Certified Gluten-free In America, it takes up to six months to pull a product that doesn’t have the correct label off the shelf, so you want to be keen on any product labeled as gluten-free because it might have been processed in a facility that handles wheat. Find out why as a Celiac, you should always go for certified gluten-free products. I will also share the certifications that come with certified gluten-free foods.

Gluten-free Bread Ingredients Listen in as I share the different non-grain gluten-free flour, usually made from root vegetables or nuts. Gluten-free grain flours are okay for Celiacs so long as they are produced in a facility that doesn’t handle gluten. Find out some amazing grain-based gluten-free flour to bake your bread.

Additional Ingredients for your Gluten-free Bread

Gluten-free bread tends to be a little drier because they lack gluten. I share the trick I use to make my gluten-free bread moist, plus other ingredients that will make your bread tastier and fluffier whether you are vegan or not. Also, find out why I picked Simple Mills as one of my brand partners as I take you through some of my favorite ingredients from Simple Mills.

What to Carry in Your Gluten Free Carry On Bag

Join me in today's Travel Gluten-free Podcast as we talk about what to carry in your gluten-free carry-on bag during your travels such as food, medicine, and other great gluten-free travel tips!

Gluten-free Medicine Some medications have gluten, and it's not indicated on the package. Besides, you may not find all the medications you need at the airport, so pack your gluten-free medication when traveling. I talk about why medicine is essential in your gluten-free carry-on bag. Also, I give you tips on how to package your medicine using zip lock bags and vitamin bags. I also touch on the need to take advantage of your special privilege under the American disability act, which allows Celiacs to carry an extra bag that contains medical supplies.

Single Serving Gluten Free Snacks The post-Covid era has brought some uncertainty to the supply chain, and airlines keep changing the snacks they offer. It is, therefore, vital not to rely upon airlines to provide you with gluten-free snacks. I share with you why gluten-free single-serving snacks are a great option to carry with you, especially if you are traveling with kids.

Extra Tips When Packing Your Gluten Free Carry on Bags Shaker metal bottles are better mixers; however, they may make unnecessary noise while carrying them around. I recommend some tips on how to pack your shaker bottles to minimize the noise and how to pack and use single-serve protein drinks with your shaker bottle.

Supplements are essential in your carry-on bag because of the risk of cross-contamination while traveling. We all need different supplements, and you should consult your doctor to determine which ones are good for you. Discover why I always pack ginger, charcoal, probiotics, and enzymes as part of my supplements when traveling. Finally, what is personal flatware? Listen in to discover why I include personal flatware in my gluten-free carry-on bag for my travels.

The Ten Places Gluten Hides

Upon learning that she had Celiac disease, Miri Pizan was dismayed to discover how little the general public knew about food allergies and set about educating everyone on how to accommodate those with medical food restrictions, to build stronger community bonds. In today’s Travel Gluten-free Podcast, Miri Pizann from the Safely Sated Gluten Free Consulting, joins us as we talk about the ten places gluten hides.

Miri’s Gluten-free Journey Acid reflux issues and some discomforts here and there was Miri's starting point in discovering she was gluten intolerant. Miri shares with us the challenges she faced while figuring out what was safe to eat after being diagnosed with Celiac and how she came to learn of so many alternative foods that are gluten-free and tasty. In her journey, Gluten-free cookbooks were a major resource that Miri relied on to identify recipes. Listen in as Miri shares with us some of her favorite gluten-free cookbooks.

The Founding of Safely Sated Gluten-free Consulting Receiving a vote of confidence that she could educate others on the gluten-free lifestyle, from a member of her women’s group, set Miri on the path of starting Safely Sated Gluten-free Consulting. Miri talks about how her experience and knowledge of a Gluten-free lifestyle were fundamental in running Safely Sated Gluten-free Consulting.

What Should Be Your First Step After a Diagnosis with Celiac How do you have fun and enjoy good things while living a Gluten-free life? This is a fundamental question many Celiacs have to answer for themselves. Miri suggests starting with easy wins by beginning with easy recipes and using readily available ingredients. Listen in as Miri shares some great foods to try out and what to avoid as you adjust to living a gluten-free life.

The Places That Gluten Hides Miri recommends finding hidden gluten as another important step to take as a newly diagnosed Celiac. Soy sauce, Licorice, some mixed spices, toothpaste, pet food, and cosmetics are among products we use frequently that have hidden gluten. Miri takes us through a comprehensive list of items that contain gluten and should be avoided. Besides what to avoid, Miri also highlights some great alternatives to ensure you pick products that are safe for Celiacs.

Extra Benefits of Eating Gluten-free Maintaining a healthy weight, being more open to trying out new recipes that are more nutritious, and having an enhanced taste bud are a few of the additional benefits of living Gluten-free. We discuss some of the benefits we have enjoyed as a result of adopting the Gluten-free lifestyle.

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.

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. In today’s Travel Gluten-free Podcast, I’m excited to host Matt Weinstein from the Glass of Weinstein. Matt is a dedicated gluten-free cook and content creator. 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. He found out after experiencing symptoms he thought were caused by other factors. We recorded this episode in May, which is Celiac awareness month. Matt emphasizes the need to have more enlightenment to the public on the effects of Celiac since most people haven’t grasped the seriousness of the disease.

The Glass of Weinstein Gluten Free Jewish Recipes is Born

Matt credits his mum for arousing his curiosity and love for food through her love for cooking which came out even more during the big Jewish dinner like Yom Kippur.

The Glass of Weinstein was born during the pandemic. 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.

Eating Gluten Free in Australia with Ben from A Gluten Free Podcast

Despite a recent diagnosis of Celiac, Ben has hit the road and is already a dedicated advocate of the gluten-free lifestyle through his podcast, A Gluten Free Podcast. Join me for an interesting conversation with Ben about his gluten-free experiences and how he has learned to eat, along with the gluten free food adjustments Ben has made after discovering he has Celiac disease.

Being Diagnosed with Celiac Disease Ben discovered that he had Celiac in 2020, right after his daughter caught a gastro bug leading him to mistakenly think he had COVID. Ben shares with us how he eventually came to know he had Celiac after running several tests; right before the Christmas holidays, Ben talks about his love for baking, how he had to give up pizza and beer, and how he and his wife transitioned together to a gluten-free household.

Tips on Eating Out Gluten Free When Ben enters a restaurant, he first notifies the staff that he cannot eat gluten because he has Celiac disease. Next, we discuss why this is the best approach to determine if a restaurant can cater to a gluten-free meal.

Gluten free apps make life easy by helping us find restaurants that serve gluten-free meals. Ben shares the gluten-free app he is currently using in Australia. Then, Ben takes us through some of Australia's best gluten-free restaurants, his favorite one serving 100% gluten-free meals.

Fun Things to Do in Australia Australia has so many fun places to visit and activities to engage in. Ben recommends some of the theaters, museums, and festivals in Australia. Ben also shares with us some fantastic beaches that you should consider visiting when you travel to Australia.

I’m excited to host Dave Sherwin from Dirobi as we chat about how to keep yourself healthy as you age on the Travel Gluten Free Podcast. Dave is a certified fitness nutrition coach, entrepreneur, podcaster, and mindfulness and meditation practitioner.

The Importance of Mental Health

Whenever we free ourselves of stress, we tend to look better, are more confident, and even attractive to other people. So even if you deal with chronic auto-immune issues, you can feel and look your best, which is a huge confidence booster.

Intermittent Fasting for Better Gut Health

Dave shares the different types of intermittent fasting that we can do, depending on our particular situation, such as gender and age. For instance, children, pregnant women, and post-menopausal women require different types of intermittent fasting.

Dave also explains why it is important not to eat after dinner and the multiple problems eating after dinner causes.

Healthy Gluten-free Eating for Your Digestive Tract

Most people assume that if you eat gluten-free foods, you are automatically eating healthy. Dave shares why some gluten-free foods, such as white rice and rice flour, are not suitable for your digestive system and overall health. Dave also shares with us some of the healthy, gluten-free alternatives. We also talk about the importance of getting all your carbs from fruits and vegetables.

Take Supplements To Compliment Your Healthy Habits

Dave shares with us why he highly rates Glutathione and why you should include it In your supplement list. Having over 20 years of experience in supplementation, Dave delves deeper into why you need to get the basics right first before supplementing. For example, using blood tests ordered by your medical provider can identify what supplementation your body needs.

Dave takes us through some of the common deficiencies affecting Americans in general. Dave also shares what informs their decision to include or exclude certain minerals from their supplements. We also discuss some of the mineral and nutrient combinations that work well together and which ones are antagonistic.

Supplement Suggestions for the Gluten-Free Traveler

Learn which essential supplements Dave and I recommend as a gluten-free traveler to carry with you on your vacation; because cross-contamination can happen, no matter how careful we are eating out. We discuss why you’ll want to look into carrying probiotics, digestive enzymes, protein powders, veggie powders, and trace minerals for your travels.

Creating Delicous Gluten Free Pub Food with Amelia from Bierly Brewing

Travel Gluten Free Podcast is bringing you part two of our talk about Bierly brewing, as we are joined by Amelia, who is JP’s partner. 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. Growing up, Amelia was on a gluten-free diet, and learned how to eat gluten-free as a way of life.

Starting Off with JP Brewing Gluten-Free Beer Amelia shares the incredible journey of Bierly Brewing, which started off with the gluten free brewing side. However, Amelia and JP had a bigger dream. He wanted Bierly Brewing to be a place where people could come in, hang out, have a gluten free beer, gluten free snacks, and visit the brewery. Bierly Brewing Dedicated Gluten-free Menu The original menu for their gluten-free brewery started with gluten-free soft pretzels. This became a fast fan favorite and was followed by many more amazing gluten-free foods on their menu, including breadsticks, cookies, and donuts. Bierly Brewing also has a variety of mustards that are gluten-free and used in their various foods. Amelia also shares how they came up with what to put on their gluten-free menu. In addition, Amelia has an interesting rotating dessert menu, and tells why the menu is rotated out regularly.

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. JP also shares his Gluten-free travel plans and what he is looking forward to experiencing in these places.

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!

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.

Gluten Free Gift Giving with Calli McPherson of William James Gifts

The act of giving a gift expresses how much we care and value someone. In today’s Travel Gluten-free Podcast, I’m excited to host Calli McPherson, the owner of William James Gifts, a gift store specializing in gluten-free food and gift baskets. Find out how Calli started her gluten-free gift store during the pandemic and the great line of gluten-free goods you can gift your favorite gluten-free person!

Opening her Gluten Free Gift Store

Calli shares her dream of opening a gift store that picked momentum after her diagnosis with Celiac. Being Celiac allowed Calli to see the need for a Gluten-free gift store as the gaps she found in the marketplace. For example, there wasn’t a gift basket shop or store that sold gluten-free products for those who were gluten intolerant or had a medical condition in which they couldn’t eat gluten.

Gluten Free Foods and Products at William James Gifts

Calli takes us through the expansive line of their products at William James Gifts. Other than being gluten-free, the products at William James Gifts cater to people with different dietary restrictions, such as Vegan and even those on keto or paleo diets.

Calli and her family taste-test all the food before carrying it into the store. She believes that trying out the products and foods before carrying them is essential. Then, if the food or gluten-free product passes the test and has her family’s seal of approval, she’ll proudly display the item and sell it in her store.

Supporting Women-Owned Small Businesses

Calli also shares why she sources some products from women-owned small businesses. Besides supporting women-owned businesses, Calli talks about how she sources most of her products from companies that center around social responsibility.

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!

Top Ten Gluten Free Cities in America

It’s so much easier to travel around when you know you can find great, gluten-free food that is safe to eat along your journey. Tune in to discover my favorite top ten gluten-free friendly cities to travel to in America.

Isn’t it frustrating when you travel for vacation only to find there are minimal options for you to eat? Does your level of anxiety go through the roof when you find yourself in a situation where you can’t safely eat at restaurants nearby? 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? 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!

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.

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!

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, such as Riz, The Beansprout, Almond Butterfly and Kelly’s Landing. 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. She also recommends comfort food stops such as Hype Food Co, The Keg, Swiss Chalet and Boston Pizza. For Italian, her go-tos are Scaddabush, Giro d’Italia, and Il Fornello.

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.

How to Find Safe, Gluten-Free Restaurants for Your Kids with Jenn Bigler

Welcome to the Travel Gluten Free Podcast. Today, I’m with Jenn Bigler from Living Freely Gluten Free. She has a platform dedicated to gluten-free and dairy-free life, and is the author of two GF cookbooks. With multiple food allergies in the house, Jenn is passionate about making delicious meals for the whole family.

Food Allergies in the Whole Family

Jenn discovered her gluten allergy in her 20s, and later noticed symptoms of food allergy in her kids. Food allergy symptoms can be misdiagnosed as ADHD or other behavioral disorders, so Jenn encourages parents to be insistent and advocate on their kids’ behalf.

Now, Jenn is 10 years gluten-free. She started her blog as a recipe collection from a creative young mom learning how to feed herself and her son. She turned that blog into a business, and now inspires people with recipes to help them lead happy, healthy 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 is more adventurous, with recipes for German chocolate cake, donuts, and more. Both books focus on cooking one meal for the whole family, and doing it with confidence.

Traveling with Kids Gluten-Free

Jenn always recommends packing safe snacks and meals while going on trips. Each of her kids have their own snack bag, to be refilled and taken anywhere. Lately, she’s been bringing digestive enzymes, activated charcoal, and lactic tablets to avoid an upset stomach ruining another vacation.

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. They love that Disney is so accommodating to allergies.

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.

Jenn is offering 20% off her cookbooks for with code ‘2021’ on her website livingfreelyglutenfree.com

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.

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.

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.”

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.

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.

Why Ellen Created Gluten-Free Vacations

Ellen loves to “see new locations and go to new destinations,” with the Caribbean, Mexico, and Disney as her top three favorite destinations because these places offer exceptional options for gluten-free travelers. When you feel like you can’t travel because you are gluten-free, the best first step when choosing a vacation is to go to an all-inclusive location with strict protocols in place. There are multiple restaurants you can eat at, extensive gluten-free choices on the menus, making it easier for anyone who’s gluten-free, especially those who are new to the gluten-free lifestyle.

Best Destinations for Gluten-Free Travelers

“People don’t want to go on vacation and only have the option of eating meat and vegetables.” I agree! That’s why Ellen vets and personally visits the locations that she sends her clients to ensure they can eat comfort foods such as gluten-free waffles and gluten-free pancakes. “You want to indulge and have a good time on vacation. You want to feel like you’re eating what the rest of the group is eating.” That’s for sure! Being able to feel “normal” when you’re eating is such a relief and happy moment when you’re gluten-free.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Pilgrimage on the Camino de Santiago Trail with Jonathan Bengel Part II

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!

Jonathan Bengel from Naked Tax Talk joins me today for Part II of his story to tell of his epic adventure on his 500-mile journey while walking the Camino de Santiago trail. Jonathan gives details of his hardships, the other pilgrims he and his husband met along the way, and his mistakes while hiking the trail. He also shares his spiritual and philosophical perspective and lessons learned from this adventure through Europe.

Meet Jonathan Bengel

The world of tax is Jonathan’s life! Growing up in extreme poverty, Jonathan understands how money CAN bring YOU happiness, and he is eager and passionate about shining this light to financial delight for others. With a Bachelor’s in Business Accounting and a Master’s in Secondary Education, Jonathan has mastered profits and taxes over the past 16 years as an IRS Enrolled Agent. He has taken his firm from just 30,000 in revenue to multi-six figures, working with elite consultants, digital marketers, and many self-employed business owners.

What is the Camino de Santiago Trail?

The Camino de Santiago is also known as the Way of Saint James. 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. Actually, he tells his story of why he went and about his husband choosing this journey for them to complete.

With only walking one mile for training, Jonathan and his husband took off for three months and walked the entire trail from start to finish. 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!

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.

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? Does the thought of getting sick on vacation worry you to no end? Unsure of what travel options are safe and how to choose a safe restaurant away from home for you and your children?

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

Using Medical Cannabis to Reduce Auto-Immune Inflammation with Tim Pickett of Utah Therapeutic Center

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 Tim Pickett, who is the founder of the Utah Therapeutic Center. Tim sees patients with chronic illnesses such as chronic pain, auto-immune diseases and terminally ill patients, all of whom are seeking relief from their symptoms without using pharmaceutical drugs.

What is Medical Cannabis?

Medical cannabis is using the marijuana plant and extracting the healthy, inflammation-fighting components of the plant. 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.

Grab a Vegan and Gluten Free Lunch at The Spudd Hutt

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 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.

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!

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.

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 John Biethan, who studied metaphysics, world religion, nutrition for seven years. In addition, Jon also studied music such as the bass guitar, piano, harpsichord and went on to manage singer/songwriters, most notably Chris Calloway, Cab Calloway's daughters. He and Chris toured the "Cab Calloway Legacy" show together for three years. John lived in Santa Fe, New Mexico, for over two decades. In this conversation, we talk about the history and culture of this remarkable place, why it's on my bucket list, and amazing gluten-free restaurant options in Santa Fe.

Fun Things to Do in Santa Fe

Museums are always on my list of things to do when I travel, which is why I was excited about the Georgia O’Keefe museum and the Gerald Peters Art Gallery and Folk Art Museum on the Hill. 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!

Gluten Free Restaurants in Santa Fe New Mexico

Looking for good, gluten-free fare in New Mexico? Of course you are! 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! El Meson Restaurante and tapas bar is another fantastic gluten-free-friendly location you’ll want to check out while in Santa Fe.

We talk about the history and culture of Santa Fe, famous people Jon has worked with over his career, and his podcast What Has My Attention Podcast. Listen in to find out hotel recommendations, the best time to visit Santa Fe, and why Santa Fe is such a mecca of art and culture.

She helps people on the journey from recognizing to recovering and rebuilding after toxic relationships. Even the United States Marines have sought her help!

Dr. Shaler empowers the partners, exes, adult children, and co-workers of the relentlessly difficult, toxic people she calls Hijackals® to recognize emotional abuse, realize the effects, heal, and transform. She helps them see clearly, stop the crazy-making, and save their sanity.

Widely published and author of sixteen books, including Escaping the Hijackal Trap and Stop! Crazy-Making; she is the host of the internationally popular podcast: Save Your Sanity: Help for Toxic Relationships. Her YouTube channel, ForRelationshipHelp, has reached over 470,000 views.

After doing her own research into her health issues, Rhoberta found out gluten was the culprit of her poor health. A couple of years later, she found that dairy and soy were also causing her health issues, so she took those out of her diet. Next came sugar, and when she removed sugar, she lost weight and felt healthier.

We talk about how she substitutes salt, sugar, and fats in her diet, the importance of eating clean and organic foods. Listen in to find out which gluten-free restaurants she recommends when traveling out to San Diego and the surrounding area and where to get the best chicken waffles.

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!

Best Gluten Free Bakeries and Restaurants in London with Matt Bzedyl of Gluten Free Street Gang

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've got Matt Bzedyl from the Gluten Free Street Gang back again! Matt has been running the account Gluten Free Street Gang on Instagram for over two years. His account takes a humorous look at the realities of eating on a restricted diet. Initially inspired when Starbucks removed their gluten-free breakfast sandwich from their menu, Matt's Instagram account has been fortunate to grow considerably since his first post poking fun at Starbucks!

Matt eats gluten-free as he was convinced his dietary issues were a result of ingesting gluten for years. When he was diagnosed with IBS, Matt learned that his digestive issue is with wheat specifically. Although he cannot eat wheat, Matt still maintains a gluten-free diet to solve his dietary problems. He is currently splitting his time between the UK and Massachusetts. He is looking to incorporate more food content going forward to highlight that it is possible to eat well while traveling on a restricted diet!

We talk about his experience with two COVID lockdowns in London, the photo opportunities COVID has provided both in London and Utah and what we love about riding bikes as a form of transportation in London. Matt also enjoys the London tube and bus network and using the London cab system to get around London as the cabbies are very knowledgeable about the quickest route to get you to your destination.

When you want to eat great food, Europe is the place to get high-quality, delicious food that you can’t get in the United States. EU foods have a much higher standard, so many Celiacs who can’t eat dairy in the US but can eat dairy in Europe. Matt says, “If you go into many of the big grocery stores, there’s a good part of the store dedicated to ready-made food. All of them that have this product also have a sizable gluten-free section.”

Listen in to find out Matt’s favorite restaurant options in the UK, including Greg’s Fast Food, Menadu Bakery, and how to ship them back on the airplane on the ride home overseas!

In this episode, I've got Rob Roy from Adventure Bound Podcast. Rob is an active-duty Navy Pilot who recently discovered a passion for the outdoors. Rob and his wife made it a goal to take their firstborn son to 12 National Parks before he turned 12 months old. We chat about National Parks, what they are, how we discovered National Parks, and why you want to visit them!

Zion National Park is a favorite of Rob as this was the first park where he discovered the National Parks. "When we went to Zion I didn't know what it was." Rob visited Zion for a friend's wedding, which helped him understand the National Park System. He loved the greens, trees, and the terrain that results from the mix of desert and precipitation forming the trees against the stunning red rock.

Before he moved to Seattle, he and his wife took west to Washington State to see the Olympic National Park, Mount Rainier National Park, and the North Cascades. Out of all the National Parks he's visited, Rob says the wow factor is the best at The North Cascades National Park. "When you're talking about unspoiled, rugged beauty, there's no place like it." Since their original trip, they now live closer, although they would have to make a weekend trip with the three-hour drive to get there.

Listen in to find out why Rob loves National Parks, upcoming travels he has planned, and the one dozen National Parks he and his family went to in the year following his son's birth. Find out Rob's tips for visiting National Parks and why he uses the Outbound App when traveling.

Fun Things to Do and Gluten Free Restaurants in Kanab, Utah

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 giving you the 411 on fun things to do in Kanab, Utah! You may not have heard about Kanab, but if you are an outdoor enthusiast, Kanab is a best-kept secret for outdoor fun! With so many slot canyons, hiking trails, and beautiful landscapes, Kanab is a great place to go if you love the outdoors minus lots of crowds.

Balloons and Tunes Roundup Hot Air Balloon Festival in Kanab

For a fun and exciting event, check out Balloons and Tunes Roundup! Held the third weekend in February, Balloons and Tunes Roundup features an outdoor market, festival, and, of course, hot air balloons. Get amazing pictures of these beautiful aviators flying through the Utah blue sky against the red rock of southern Utah, talk to balloon owners and enjoy the excitement of watching hot air balloons travel in the sky.

Outdoor Activity Hiking in Kanab Utah

Dinosaur Tracks hike is 2.9 miles north on 89, hike out through the trail up to the plateau and see Make real tracks of ancient dinosaurs who roamed across the land millions of years ago! See images of these on my Instagram.

The Wave is one of the most famous photographed hikes with gorgeous strips of red rock hills everywhere! To take this amazing hike, you’ll need to attend the lottery to get a permit to hike The Wave. Definitely obtain a permit as rangers are there to patrol, and the fine is $100,000 for illegal hiking as this is an environmentally sensitive area. The drawing for The Wave permit occurs at 9 a.m. (arrive by 8:30 to fill out an application). If a permit is won, it will be for the following day. In the winter months, the Grand Staircase Office draws for Saturday, Sunday, and Monday’s permits on Friday.

If you miss the Wave permit, check out White Pocket slot canyons. While you’ll need an ATV to get into

Hike White Pocket is a great alternative that doesn’t require a permit. With either location, we recommend hiring a local guide. You can get there on highway 89 mile marker 01.

Another amazing slot canyon to hike in Kanab is Peek-A-Boo Slot Canyon. Head north 8.1 miles on 89

Make a right (road not labeled) onto the turnoff for the Peek-a-boo trailhead. Three miles of dry wash after paved highway. We hired a guide and went canyoneering, which was a blast!

The Toadstools is an easy 1.5-mile hike each way with scenery that looks like you've landed on another planet! Take highway 89 east to milepost 20. Slow down to look for the trailhead as it's right off the road but can be easily missed when traveling at highway speed.

Coral Pink Sand Dunes is a great family-friendly Utah state park where you can get beautiful photographs of Utah sand dunes. Avoid going there in the summer heat!

Squaw Trailhead is a local Kanab hike that is located behind Jacob Hamlin Park. Nice view of the city and red rock from the top of the trail.

Gluten Free Restaurants in Kanab, Utah

There are four restaurants that I would highly recommend visiting when you are in Kanab! First, Vermillion 45 is the only French restaurant in downtown Kanab but is the best French restaurant I’ve been to in the US and has all their gluten-free offerings labeled. Wild Thyme Cafe has excellent American fare and many gluten-free offerings. They have several vegetarian and vegan dishes as well! Rocking V Cafe offers sandwiches and a good selection of gluten-free offerings for the entire family.

Peekaboo Canyon Wood Fired Kitchen has amazing gluten-free wood-fired pizzas and incredible gluten-free desserts that you will absolutely love!

Rerun Episode #37: How to Find a Gluten-Free Restaurant for Valentine’s Day

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, we will dive into tools you can use to find amazing gluten-free friendly, and dedicated gluten-free restaurants to eat at on Valentine’s Day. If you're new to the gluten-free scene or you've been gluten-free for a while, you can still have a hard time finding a great restaurant. Whether you are a foodie or not, looking for a restaurant at home or on vacation, getting a good gluten-free meal at a nice restaurant can be daunting.

You can use several tools when you want to find a great restaurant for you and your family and friends! Filter for a price, type of food, and ambiance. Learn how to cross-check your restaurant choice and find out the difference between a gluten-free friendly restaurant and a dedicated gluten-free restaurant. Additionally, listen in to find out which three questions to ask when calling a restaurant to determine if they are safe for celiacs.

Opentable

One of the resources I love to use is OpenTable. OpenTable is a reservation site, and I use this resource because it’s easy to instantly filter and find restaurants and reserve online. You can use OpenTable's online website or their mobile app to book a table. Your account setup is free. Find restaurants and make reservations through OpenTable and receive points when you dine at that restaurant using an OpenTable reservation. When you reach a certain level of points, you will receive rewards through OpenTable.

Find Me Gluten Free App

Find Me Gluten Free is available online and as a mobile app. Look for gluten-free friendly, dedicated gluten-free restaurants, places to eat with dedicated fryers. Find different gluten-free features and offerings such as gluten-free bread, gluten-free desserts, late-night, a local chain, vegan-friendly, vegetarian friendly.

Trip Advisor

Another way you can 'Find' restaurants is at Tripadvisor. Setup a free account and use this resource to find restaurants in your neighborhood or when you are traveling. Usually, we think of Tripadvisor only when we're traveling. I also like to find fun things to do when I'm going on vacation or at home. Look up restaurants in the town you are eating in and browse by food, community picks, gluten-free and vegan.

Four Great US Cities to Road Trip with Kris McPeak of Elevate Your Eight

Today, my guest is Kris McPeak of Elevate Your Eight podcast. Kris has lived in over a half-dozen cities in the US. Today, she shares some of the best places to visit in four US cities: St. Louis, Washington DC, Chicago, and Nashville. Besides being great places to visit on a road trip, all four of these towns are also gluten-free friendly!

The 411 on St. Louis

Kris suggests a long weekend trip to see the tourist mainstays in St. Louis. She recommends visiting in spring to early summer when the weather is excellent and the tourist season hasn’t quite kicked in yet!

She is fond of the waterfront, where you can find the farmer’s market and a fun, revitalized bar scene. Go downtown to visit the Tivoli Movie Theatre, Take a ride up The Arch, and check out Blueberry Hill restaurant in University City to put your coin in and choose a sone from the world’s largest jukebox selection!

What to do When You’re in DC

Both Kris and I have been to DC. You can’t go wrong with a visit to the nation’s capital, especially if you love American history as I do! There are more national monuments and parks in DC that you can cover in a week, including the Lincoln Memorial and Washington Monument - not to mention the mall area, where the presidential inauguration was just held last month. Make sure to visit in the spring, when you can see and get a selfie of you and your favorite person in the magical myriad of cherry blossoms at the Washington DC Mall.

While there, you definitely want to go to The Smithsonian - the world’s largest museum - which only houses a tiny fraction of their collection. You can easily spend three days just in this one museum!

Kris recommends grabbing a show at one of two theatres in DC - Stephen Wolf Theatre and Second City Show - the latter has various sketch comedy shows, and who couldn’t use a little comedy right now?

Chicago - Gluten Free Foodie Heaven

Although I haven’t personally been to Chicago, gluten-free peeps rave about the gluten-free deep-dish pizza and other restaurants you can find that are Celiac-friendly. Spend a week at one of the largest cities in America and visit The Shed Aquarium, The Field Museum of Natural History, Adler Planetarium, and The Art Institute. The Art Institute of Chicago has a free day, so check out their website for more details.

The best time to visit Chicago is St. Patrick’s Day, and although they don’t turn the river green anymore, you can still join in the fun Irish festivities all weekend long! Visit Little Italy for excellent Italian food and check out BoysTown in Chicago to taste the local culture.

Nashville The Heart of Country Music

With country music at the heart of this town, you’ll want to visit Grand Ole Opry House, The Rhyme Auditorium, Third and Lindsley, and Lower Broadway for the best shows and music performances. Visit in the early summer or fall to avoid crowds and get a glimpse of this creative music town!

Episode 121

with The Spanish Nomad Patricia

Today, my guest is a gluten-intolerant world traveler who is a US resident living in Mongolia. She moved there almost three years ago when her husband’s job took them to live in this unpopulated country on the other side of the globe.”We didn’t even know where Mongolia was except that it was somewhere in Asia!” Not knowing anything about Mongolia, Patricia and her husband found this an opportunity for a new cultural experience.

The 411 on Mongolia

The capital city of U is massive, with massive skyscrapers and tall buildings. "It is a contrasting city as it has very old Soviet buildings. It also has in yurts, which are the traditional housing for nomadic people, in the outskirts of the town," Patricia says you can stand in the modern skyscrapers and look down upon the valley dotted with yurts. "You can see the very rural with the ultra-modern, with the Soviet mixed."

If you want to travel to Mongolia, you will need to bring your own food. There aren't many places that are gluten-free friendly or knowledgeable about gluten-free. Soups, bread, and several staples of Mongolian food culture contain gluten. Many servers do not understand what foods contain gluten unless it's a western restaurant in Mongolia.

What to Do When You’re in Mongolia

"Mongolia is a vast place, and there's so much to see," Patricia recommends top destinations such as the Gobi Desert, to the west of Mongolia, you can see and visit lakes. There are other lakes to visit in the north and see the Khovsgol Festival of Ice while in the northern region for a frozen lake festival.

The Altai Mountains in the northwest have a different ethnic group: the Kazakhs, located in Kazakhstan, just west of Mongolia. Here, they celebrate the Golden Eagle Festival. It is a festival to demonstrate the Kazakhs' culture to the world and promote their heritage to their next generations.

Patricia’s Global Travel Adventures

Living in Mongolia has its positive aspects, such as being geographically close to many eastern European and Asian countries. She has visited over a half dozen countries in the past three years including Japan, Nepal and Spain.

How to Eat Gluten-Free Whole Nutrition with Debra Klein Health Coach

Today, my guest is a health coach and food blogger who dedicated her life to creating nourishing food that tastes incredible. She inspires healthy living through lifestyle choices with easy plant-based recipes. Debra has many gluten-free recipes on her blog, and she’s always looking for more folks who want to create their own health journey and promote their own well being by making informed food and lifestyle choices.

Processed Food Vs. Unprocessed Foods

When we can eat foods that are closer to nature, then our body recognizes these foods and knows what to do with them,” says Debra. When you buy pre-packaged foods, even though you are purchasing gluten-free, it may not be enough to “achieve vibrant health.” Just because your food is gluten-free doesn’t make you healthy.

She explains that our bodies get confused when we eat processed foods and can send out an auto-immune response. Having sensitivities, allergies, or auto-immune issues is your body’s way of saying that it doesn’t agree with the food choices that it’s been given.

Using Plant-Based Whole Foods

“Say you’re making lasagna, you can use your vegetable peeler to make zucchini noodles to layer your lasagna, so you don’t have to resort to using processed gluten-free pasta.” She says to embrace the large varieties of whole foods available and use them in creative ways to make different dishes.

Eating Gluten-Free Doesn’t Have to Be Costly

Instead of eating packaged and processed gluten-free foods, Debra suggests eating whole foods for better nutrition and significant food savings for your wallet. “Whether you’re eating vegan, vegetarian, or gluten-free, it’s the packaged and processed food that is the pricier option.”

Focus on Foods You Can Eat

Being gluten-free, it’s easy for us to focus on and be sad about what we can’t eat, especially when watching others freely eat whatever foods they want without hesitation. Instead of focusing on what we can’t eat, focus on what you can eat! “When you focus on what IS available to you as opposed to highlighting what’s not available to you, it’s the flip side. This mindset helps you embrace all that’s there. When you focus on what’s not available, it puts you in a mindset that’s less healthy.”

Rerun Episode #69: How to Find a Gluten-Free Restaurant for New Year’s Eve

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, we will dive into tools you can use to find amazing gluten-free friendly, and dedicated gluten-free restaurants to eat on New Year's Eve. If you're new to the gluten-free scene or you've been gluten-free for a while, you can still have a hard time finding a great restaurant. Whether you are a foodie or not, looking for a restaurant at home or on vacation, getting a good gluten-free meal at a nice restaurant can be daunting.

You can use several tools when you want to find a great restaurant for you and your family and friends! Filter for a price, type of food, and ambiance. Learn how to cross-check your restaurant choice and find out the difference between a gluten-free friendly restaurant and a dedicated gluten-free restaurant. Additionally, listen in to find out which three questions to ask when calling a restaurant to determine if they are safe for celiacs.

Opentable

One of the resources I love to use is OpenTable. OpenTable is a reservation site, and I use this resource because it’s easy to instantly filter and find restaurants and reserve online. You can use OpenTable's online website or their mobile app to book a table. Your account setup is free. Find restaurants and make reservations through OpenTable and receive points when you dine at that restaurant using an OpenTable reservation. When you reach a certain level of points, you will receive rewards through OpenTable.

Find Me Gluten Free App

Find Me Gluten Free is available online and as a mobile app. Look for gluten-free friendly, dedicated gluten-free restaurants, places to eat with dedicated fryers. Find different gluten-free features and offerings such as gluten-free bread, gluten-free desserts, late-night, a local chain, vegan-friendly, vegetarian friendly.

100% Gluten Free App

Carrie from For Gluten Sake has celiac disease and has created an app that features dedicated gluten-free restaurants. All restaurants on her app do not have gluten on the premises. This list is smaller than the Find Me Gluten Free app. However, these restaurants are safer since they don’t have gluten on site. She has the largest list of 100% gluten-free spots around the world on her app.

Gluten-Free Philly

Find great eats in Philadelphia and the surrounding area with Michael’s Gluten-Free Philly app. In addition to his app, you can search online for the latest and greatest gluten-free restaurants in Philadelphia.

Trip Advisor

Another way you can 'Find' restaurants is at Tripadvisor. Setup a free account and use this resource to find restaurants in your neighborhood or when you are traveling. Usually, we think of Tripadvisor only when we're traveling. I also like to find fun things to do when I'm going on vacation or at home. Look up restaurants in the town you are eating in and browse by food, community picks, gluten-free and vegan.

The Celiac Scene (Canada)

If you are vacationing or live in Victoria, the surrounding area around Victoria, Vancouver, or Canada's islands, you must check out The Celiac Scene. Ellen Baynes started the gluten-free restaurant scene in Victoria, and she maintains a list of restaurants that are safe to eat at if you are celiac.

Nine Great Gluten Free Restaurants in Moab

Moab was just voted #2 on TripAdvisor's Travelers' Choice Awards for New Trending and Emerging Destinations, and it's easy to tell why! With so many great outdoor adventures in one town, Moab is sure to be on traveler's hit lists. Here are nine great gluten-free and Celiac-friendly restaurant choices you'll want to check out while vacationing in Moab.

Denny's Diner has a gluten-free protocol to serve food that is under 20ppm! Can you believe it? I love eating breakfast at Denny's 24 hours. I've eaten at different restaurants all over the United States and have never been sick eating at one!

Love Muffin Cafe for freshly squeezed juices and gluten-free baked items along with amazing egg dishes! Make sure to check out their dairy-free options as well.

Sweet Cravings has gluten-free sandwich offerings along with knowledgeable staff to help you navigate the menu and choose Celiac-safe foods.

Fiesta Mexicana has the gold find with a dedicated fryer! Their chips are safe so grab a plate for lunch and dinner. The staff is very knowledgeable and can direct you towards gluten-free finds.

Go to Moab Brewery for the best-brewed sodas as they create their own brews on-site. Whether you are in the mood for alcohol (don't drink the beer) or a soda, they've got you covered for post-hiking relaxation with a good menu.

Bangkok House for lunch and dinner, and dump gluten-free soy sauce on all your food! Good Asian food choices on their menu.

Moab Coffee Roasters for their coffee and tea - but don't eat the food! They have amazing flavors such as English Toffee, which I absolutely can't get enough of when I go to Moab.

Moab Garage Company is actually inside a remodeled old garage and has a cool atmosphere. MGC also carries a great selection of teas and coffees to start your day outright.

Sunset Grill is an upscale restaurant with gorgeous views of Moab and gluten-free menu choices.

Desert Bistro is a fusion restaurant whose staff is incredibly knowledgeable about the ingredients in their food, and they specialize in allergy protocol. The perfect date-night restaurant, Desert Bistro, has the most amazing gluten-free desserts that you can share with that special someone!

Moab Food Truck Park has a variety of ethnic and American foods. Each food truck has its own protocol so check with the server or owner of the food truck to verify which options are safe.

98 Center Moab is an Asian-Vietnamese-American fusion restaurant that understands what it means to have Celiac disease! I was way impressed with their staff knowledge and their mostly gluten-free menu, and the remainder of their menu can be made gluten-free—lots of vegetarian and meat choices, a great place to go for lunch or dinner.

Where to Stay

Purple Sage Flats and Moab Flats are two boutique hotels in Moab that have been completely redesigned in the past five years to a chic, modern comfy place to stay that features amenities such as kitchens in every room, laundry facility, hot tub and complimentary mountain bike use! There’s a picnic area and fire pit outside to kick back and relax during the warm summer nights.

Fun Things to Do in Moab

Stop at Moab Information Center and pick up a self-guided tour brochure. It’s a small tri-fold black and white brochure that’s packed full of all the tours the tour companies take you on, except that it’s free because you get to do it yourself and stop as long as you want at the different sites! Pick up a Moab Guest Guide for information and local maps on what to do. You can find these for free at any of the magazines stands in town. I picked up my copy at Denny’s.

Museums in Moab

Moab Museum

In 1957, a group of civic leaders began to plan for a city museum, and in February 1958, the museum was incorporated as the Southeastern Utah Society of Arts and Science. Housed in a County building on Center Street, the private archeological collections from Dr. J.W. “Doc” Williams and Ross Musselman provided objects for initial exhibits, with more citizens' donations. During its first 14 months, the museum hosted more than 6000 visitors. Find out about the past rich in geological change, paleontological remnants, and human history that stretched from prehistoric cultures to Mormon pioneer families to out-of-town investors and miners with families. Spend an hour finding out how Moab came to be the town it is today in its 150-year history.

Moab Giants Paleo Safari Dinosaur Park and Museum

“Not only is it set amongst some of the world’s most breathtaking scenery in Moab, Utah, but it’s a unique experience of the ages. Make your own tracks alongside our state of the art, life-size dinosaurs in the land they called home! Moab Giants is the ultimate place to discover the past with cutting edge technology that feels like the future! Visit the newest dinosaur museum in Utah!”

Hole N” the Rock Roadside Attraction

Visit Hole N” the Rock, a most unique home carved out of a huge rock in Utah’s Canyonlands Country. This historic 5,000 square foot home and unusual gift shop and trading post are open all year. Take a guided tour of the home, and appreciate the rich history within its walls.

Outdoor and Adventure Activities in Moab

Take a wild ride jumping out of an airplane at Skydive Moab, Go 4x4, or rent a dirt bike at Canyonlands Jeep and Car Rentals. Grab a mountain bike rental and ride some of the best mountain biking terrains in the world! Hook up with an outfitter or rent your own climbing gear for spectacular rock climbing and canyoneering. Go for some water fun and try boating, SUP Paddleboard, and river tours are available from several outfitters. You can rent snowshoes and cross-country skis in the winter, although they really don't get much snow!

Moab Parks

Dead Horse Point State Park

From Dead Horse Point's prominence, 2,000 feet above a gooseneck in the Colorado River, an ever-changing landscape unfurls. Immense vertical cliffs meet with canyons carved by ice, water, and wind creating a visual masterpiece. Plants and animals surviving on the edge of existence face many challenges of extreme conditions within this high desert environment. Stories of ancient hunters, resting along the cliff tops while knapping chert in preparation for the next hunt, and cowboys of the late 1800s, chasing wild mustangs onto Dead Horse Point, using the narrow neck to block off the natural corral. What story will you discover on your visit to Dead Horse Point State Park?

Canyonlands National Park

Canyonlands invites you to explore a wilderness of countless canyons and fantastically formed buttes carved by the Colorado River and its tributaries. Rivers divide the park into four districts: Island in the Sky, The Needles, The Maze, and the rivers themselves. These areas share a primitive desert atmosphere, but each offers different opportunities for sightseeing and adventure.

Arches National Park

Visit Arches to discover a landscape of contrasting colors, landforms, and textures, unlike any other in the world. The park has over 2,000 natural stone arches, in addition to hundreds of soaring pinnacles, massive fins, and giant balanced rocks. This red-rock wonderland will amaze you with its formations, refresh you with its trails, and inspire you with its sunsets.

Grab a headlamp that has a red light so your eyes can quickly adjust to the night sky when you are stargazing at one of the parks in Moab.

Check out Episodes 48 & 49, where I go into detail on all Utah National Parks, why I love them, and how to visit Utah's amazing National Parks!

Gluten Free Holiday Baking at High Altitudes

When you're cooking or baking gluten-free for the first time, you may not know what recipes are good and where to find recipes that won't let you down. I understand how challenging this can be as I went through my first holiday season with only a couple months of being Celiac under my belt!

Why Is Baking Different at High Altitude?

Air pressure is lower at higher altitudes. The higher you are from sea level, the lower the air pressure becomes.

If you live more than 1,000 feet above sea level, your best bet is to follow high altitude baking recipes.

Because air pressure is lower at high altitudes, any liquids will evaporate quicker. The speed of liquid evaporation makes air bubbles rise to the top and burst. Because the air bubbles leave the baked goods faster, the ingredients in your creation can become densely packed together because the air has left, creating the ingredients to collapse on themselves, giving you a brick.

Be mindful that you cannot substitute baking soda for baking powder or vice-versa, as it won't work. You see, baking powder and baking soda don't actually work the same way. Baking soda needs an acidic ingredient like lemon juice to activate it. And baking powder is, basically, just baking soda with the acid component already built-in. You can't use the two interchangeably. In fact, substituting one for the other can be disastrous.

Tune in to find out gluten-free baking tips for high altitude, why you shouldn’t overmix your batter, the chemical differences between baking soda and baking powder, why you have to use a chemical component when using baking soda and how to convert a “regular” recipe to a high altitude recipe.

How to Celebrate the Holidays When You're Family Isn't Gluten Free with Tarryn of My Celiac Life

Although Tarryn is Celiac, her husband Jake can eat a “regular” diet. Their home kitchen isn’t completely gluten-free, but Jake is very conscious about how he prepares food with gluten in their kitchen so as not to cross-contaminate Tarryn. “We don’t have bread and food that would make a lot of crumbs, to make a mess that would make it difficult to track gluten. I have my own little cupboard on the side where I can have some of my favorite snacks, which may have gluten, but I’m careful with them. I’m not necessarily eating them on the counter or without being extra careful.”

Tarryn says Jake is very understanding of her Celiac disease. He has separate peanut butter, and they only have gluten-free bread in the house to be on the ultra-safe side. Since Jake is cereal obsessed, he has his own cereal bowl for his breakfast or anytime he eats gluten. “As far as utensils, I’d say our home is Celiac safe.”

Listen in to find out how Tarryn found out she had Celiac disease, Jake’s reaction to Tarryn finding out about her auto-immune disease, and mistakes they made about choosing food when Tarryn was first diagnosed. Learn how they vet restaurants, the role of the CCA - Canadian Celiac Association, and how Jake and Tarryn navigate the gluten-free holidays with two families that aren’t gluten-free.

Virtual Gluten Free with the Pennsylvania Virtual Gluten Free Expo

Today I chat with Matt Bolich, founder of the Philadelphia Gluten Free Expo. In a “normal” year, Matt would be planning two in-person events for the gluten-free community - one in the spring and another in fall. This year, Matt has decided to create one big virtual event for those living the gluten-free lifestyle, with no geographical or economic limits to attend, as this event is free to the public on November 7th, 2020! Attend workshops, win prizes and find new gluten-free foods you’ll want to put on your shopping list.

Besides, Matt is also hosting a special VIP ticket meet-up Thursday night before the event on November 5th. You can purchase a VIP ticket now - get one while they last! If you’re an influencer and interested in attending, email Matt at his email below.

About Matt

Matt’s and his wife have been producing gluten-free expos since 2013, and the 2020 show will be their 13th expo, but the first virtual one! When we launched our first event in State College at Penn State in 2013, their goal was to have 500 attendees and ended up with more than double the amount of people at the first show! “When we had a mom come up to us with tears in her eyes thanking us for doing an expo like this for her daughter, we knew these events were something special.”

Whether you have Cerebral Palsy, Celiac disease, or any other disability, find out how Winn Charles navigates the world of travel through flying, cruising and road trips with her wheelchair and walker in tow. No matter if she is going across town or to another country, Winn doesn’t let her physical disabilities get in the way of travel or living her life!

Winn is the author of five books, including her most recent book I, Winn. In addition to being an author, Winn also produces two podcasts and is the only person with CP producing an active podcast! Check her out at Ask Winn where she interviews guests from podcasting to those who are overcoming their own physical challenges and disabilities.

About Winn

“The reason why I became an artist is to have an outlet in my life. In 2006 my life got out of control” She had undergone a grueling six-hour back operation that left her physically and emotionally drained. Before her surgery, she was walking under my own power. Post-surgery she experienced the hardest recovery of her life, as her surgery changed her life forever.

While in PT for her surgery, her physical therapist said, "Win, you're getting angry and depressed from all this. You need to see a counselor to help". On the way home, she thought that seeing a counselor was nuts. “That same day I looked online for a painting program and found one that I fell in love with and still use today. It took a lot of time for me to achieve where I am today as an artist.”

How to Be Gluten Free with Gluten Free Bebe

Melinda Arcara, AKA Gluten Free Bebe, is the youngest of ten children. Her father nicknamed her Bebe since she was the littlest of the bunch. The first forty years of her life were filled with unexplained symptoms, including migraines, stomach pains, anemia, infertility, anxiety, weight fluctuations, joint pain, sinus pain, bladder infections. In 2009 she was finally diagnosed with gluten intolerance, and over the last 10 years, she was told she shouldn't be tested for Celiac disease because she wasn't eating gluten.

When she was diagnosed with gluten-intolerance, she was told to "Google" the topic and figure it out. Ten years ago, there wasn't much out there as far as gluten-free information or products, and not many restaurants prepared food safely. Last year, after six months of nutritional deficiency symptoms, she was tested for Celiac with a positive result. Having a Celiac diagnosis is a blessing, as she finally has an answer to years of unexpected illnesses and pain.

"I like to think that I am the practical side of being gluten-free. My husband is Celiac, but our two children are not. We say we are a "Gluten-Free, Gluten-Full" home."

Melinda is a Certified Health Coach that focuses on keeping balance with pre-packaged gluten-free products. Bebe encourages creating healthy food choices. She wrote her book, 3 Steps to Gluten-Free Living, to help others adhere to a medically required gluten-free diet. Her book is meant to save people time and money and help newly diagnosed Celiac patients learn what gluten is, where it's found, and how to read labels.

Listen in as she talks about how you can live a better gluten-free life with the advice and important information in her book about how to successfully be gluten-free!

Episode 99

Hawaii Insider Part III | Oahu and Honolulu

This is the third of a three-part series on Hawaii travel where I chat with Tony Labbe of @labbetravel about the culture, things to do, and insider tips on six of the Hawaiian Islands. In part III this week, I’ll be talking to Tony about the beautiful islands of Oahu and Honolulu, what’s unique about each of these islands, his favorite places to stay and recommendations on what to do on each island.

Remember to be safe, wear a mask, wash your hands often, and definitely do not travel if you are in a high-risk group for COVID! See the link on Hawaii travel restrictions below for the latest information on Hawaii travel.

The Hawaiian Islands

Did you know there are a total of 132 islands in Hawaii? With eight main islands, Hawaii is the only state that is entirely surrounded by water and the only state that was formerly ruled by a monarchy and the only state that grows coffee.

The earliest settlers arrived in Hawaii around 800Ad, and Captain Cook was the first European voyager to discover Hawaii in 1778. Once Hawaii was incorporated into the United States, Lahaina, Maui was the first capital, which was then moved to the current capital of Honolulu on the big island.

Mauna Kea, on the Big Island, is the tallest mountain in the world when measured from the seafloor, and Hawaii has many active volcanoes that are in the process of making this island chain larger every year. Besides being the tallest mountain, this is also the location of a ski resort and receives snow every winter!

My guest, Tony Labbe, suggests trying several different restaurants while visiting any Hawaiian Island as world-renowned chefs are cooking up exquisite meals at many of the culinary choices in Hawaii. For those of us who are gluten-free, this equates to having the ability to safely eat gourmet meals with a beautiful view of the ocean!

Cruise Hawaii

Tony suggests flying into Hawaii and starting at one of the islands for your Hawaiian cruise. When you begin your Hawaiian journey from the islands, you’ll forgo the long trip across the ocean and spend many of your cruise days at sea. Easily go island hopping and find new adventures on your journey!

Things to do in Oahu

With the largest density population of all the islands, Oahu has all the amenities of modern life, including traffic jams in the capital city of Honolulu. If you grew up watching TV in the 1970’s, Oahu was the subject of opening title screens for such popular shows as Hawaii Five-O and Magnum P.I. Oahu is also home of Waikiki Beach, which is known as a popular area for tourism.

Tony says, “You can escape the hustle and bustle on the north shore.” Make sure to stop by and visit Pearl Harbor, Diamond Head, and exquisite high-end shopping are highlights of the big city of Honolulu. Shop at Neiman-Marcus, Chanel or Prada. Or shop local at a boutique store in Honolulu.

Stay at the Disney Resort outside of Honolulu for your Hawaii Disney experience or plan your stay at one of the major resorts along the shores of Oahu.

If you’re traveling to one of the smaller islands, you’ll most likely layover in Honolulu before picking up your next flight to your final destination. Why not stay a couple days and enjoy the magnificent food Honolulu has to offer from one of the amazing five-star chefs on the island?

Visiting Hawaii - The Big Island

The island of Hawaii is the largest island of the Hawaii chain, geographically speaking. It’s also the third most visited island. On the island of Hawaii, you can take up skiing and surfing on the same day! Walk on a recent lava flow, surf, snorkel and visit a rainforest on your vacation adventure in Hawaii.

Frolic on green sand beaches on the southern point of the west side of the island Hawaii, Visit Hawaii Volcanoes National Park to see lava flows, and go on a deep sea fishing adventure. Where else in the world can you walk along a volcanic crater?

Visit the two main cities of Kona and Hilo while you are on vacation in Hawaii. Find some of the best golf courses in the world on the Big Island, or put on your science hat with a fun visit to the observatory on the top of the mountain.

Things to do in Molokai

“Molokai is usually not the first Hawaiian island people visit,” says Tony. Off the beaten path, rustic and rugged environment so much so that there are no stop signs or stoplights on the entire island! A much simpler lifestyle on this island, “When you get there, you just slow down.”

Even though Hawaii is known for its championship golf, there are no golf courses on Molokai. Unlike its other island counterparts, Molokai does not feature luxury resorts. Tony suggests going to this unique island to experience more Hawaiian cultural foods, such as Poi, the fresh fish such as Ahi, and other local dishes.

Visiting Kauai

The geologically oldest island, Kauai, has lush rainforests, with the North Shore receiving the most rainfall of this island. On the top of the list for places to visit is Waimea Canyon, dubbed the “Grand Canyon of Hawaii,” take a helicopter ride to the Nepali Coast, and, of course, hiking through the forest.

Take to the water for river or sea kayaking, SUP, and snorkeling. Find some of the most fantastic ziplining through the Kauai rainforest, or take an UnCruise aboard a ship with only 34 other passengers to experience the ultimate in luxury cruise travel!

Hawaii Insider Part I | Maui and Lanai

This is the first of a three-part series where I chat with Tony Labbe of @labbetravel about the culture, things to do, and insider tips on six of the Hawaiian Islands. In part I this week, I’ll be talking to Tony about the beautiful islands of Maui and Lanai, what’s unique about each of these islands, his favorite places to stay and recommendations on the best times to snorkel, SUP and why you want to plan rest and relaxation time on your vacation!

Remember to be safe, wear a mask, wash your hands often, and definitely do not travel if you are in a high-risk group for COVID! See the link on Hawaii travel restrictions below for the latest information on Hawaii travel.

The Hawaiian Islands

Did you know there are a total of 132 islands in Hawaii? With eight main islands, Hawaii is the only state that is entirely surrounded by water and the only state that was formerly ruled by a monarchy and the only state that grows coffee.

The earliest settlers arrived in Hawaii around 800Ad, and Captain Cook was the first European voyager to discover Hawaii in 1778. Once Hawaii was incorporated into the United States, Lahaina, Maui was the first capital, which was then moved to the current capital of Honolulu on the big island.

For those of us who are gluten-free, this equates to having the ability to safely eat gourmet meals with a beautiful view of the ocean!

Cruise Hawaii

Tony suggests flying into Hawaii and starting at one of the islands for your Hawaiian cruise. When you begin your Hawaiian journey from the islands, you’ll forgo the long trip across the ocean and spend many of your cruise days at sea. Easily go island hopping and find new adventures on your journey!

Things to do in Maui

From its famous beaches to the peak of Haleakala, Maui offers a wealth of unforgettable sites and activities. The name Maui translates into "the best" in Hawaiian, and for travel, Maui has the most adventures to offer, including hiking, beaches, mountains, and nightlife. Before you go, note that this island definitely has a touristy feel.

Lahaina and Ka'anapali are the two most western towns in Maui and offer spectacular beaches. Lahaina is a historic whaling town where you can find fantastic dining and shopping. Check out Front Street for a thrilling night in one of their many nightclubs. In western Maui, you can find a wide variety of hotels and many beaches to enjoy.

Tony's advice for those traveling to Maui is to divide your trip into a more activity-based trip and spend some time on the quieter side of Maui to enjoy some rest and relaxation. He also recommends Joe's Bar and Grill and Roy's to experience food from a Pacific Rim chef. Additionally, you should visit the Haliimaile General Store to get away from the hustle and bustle of the beach.

For the gluten-free, I'd highly recommend Maui Brick Oven, the only dedicated gluten-free restaurant. You can eat amazing foods such as mozzarella sticks, fried onion rings, and the best Italian food I've had in many years! Tony recommends the celiac-friendly Mama's Fish House Restaurant for the best fish dishes on the island.

When your sweet tooth is calling, I'd recommend Maui Bread Company as they have several delicious gluten-free selections that you will want to bring home in your suitcase. Also, visit Sugar Beach Bake Shop for doughnuts, muffins, and gluten-fre

The Road to Hana

“The road to Hana is more about the experience and journey itself than the destination.” Travel the road less traveled and the only road that leads to the eastern side of Maui. Stop along the way to swim in beautiful waterfalls, stop at the botanical garden and take breathtaking photographs of the rainforest. Make sure to stop at the art shop and the vegan ice cream shack to grab a scoop of animal-free, handmade ice cream. When you get to Hana, check out the general store and the park that the locals frequent.

See Haleakalā

Haleakalā is a shield volcano on the east side of Maui Volcano. The highest point is at 10,023 feet and is known as “the house of the sun.” This volcano forms more than 75% of the geographic mass of Maui. Bundle yourself up, bring a blanket, and visit at sunrise for a gorgeous view of the curvature of the Earth, which is one of the most highly photographed pictures of this popular volcano. Take a bicycle tour down the volcano to finish up your incredible experience of this national monument.

Visiting Lanai

Looking off the coast of Maui is the island of Lanai. You can easily take a ferry to Lanai from Maui. There is no shortage of fantastic golf and luxury places to stay in Lanai. Tony suggests staying at one of the two Four Seasons resorts. Manelli Bay at the beach is his favorite spa resort.

You'll want to end your vacation in Lanai as it's more relaxed and an excellent place for rest and relaxation. If you're going to be more active, definitely scuba dive the shipwreck at the back of the island, go SUPPING or take a morning snorkeling expedition before the trade winds come up and make the water cloudy.

Four Season's Japanese Sushi at Nobu is Tony's favorite dining experience on Lanai. Sushi chef Christopher "Tex" Texeira was born and raised in Kailua on Oahu and leads this exquisite dining experience. While you're in Lanai, check out the shopping outlets nearby. Take a ride into the small town of Lanai City to explore this small town and talk with the locals.

COVID Disney Travel Update, Star Wars Galaxy Edge and Gluten Free Disney

DisneyWorld - Perhaps the Safest Place in Florida during the COVID Pandemic

In this episode, I chat about Disney Star Wars experience, the new COVID restrictions at Disney theme parks, Disney apps you can use to enhance your Disney experience, and the level of service Disney offers to those of us who are gluten-free or have specialty diets.

Amidst the most significant COVID numbers yet seen, with over 15,000 cases in one day last week, the state of Florida alone has recorded more COVID cases than other countries! Even though it's tempting to go and actually get a seat on Rise of the Resistance, those epidemic numbers are way too high for me to be comfortable to fly to Florida. I will say that with all the sanitization, social distancing, and touchless services Disney has in place, a Disney theme park is most likely the place you'd be least likely to catch COVID in Florida.

I'm a Disney fan by default, as when they purchased Star Wars, I became a Disney fan only because I love Star Wars. When I lived in Florida, I was a short 45-minute drive away from DisneyWorld. Our family would often go to DisneyWorld on the resident pass, which, 15 years ago, was only $99. Of course, there were blackout dates, but honestly, I wouldn't want to go during the holidays that were blacked out anyway as it would be super packed with people, and that's just not enjoyable for me.

Creating a Disney Account Online

If you're planning on going to Disney, you'll first want to open a Disney account for yourself online https://disneyworld.disney.go.com Next, create an account for each person in your party, then link people who are traveling with you. If someone in your travel group already has an account, do not create another account for them. Simply email them an invitation to join your group!

Create all your plans on your Disney account and make plans for the people in your party! Reserve Fastpass up to 30 days ahead of time. Now, you can create dinner reservations, reserve FastPasses, buy merchandise, and book your Disney stay all from one place! Get FastPasses for your entire group, or make dinner reservations for each individual person. If you want to divide your group into two - no problem! You can put only individuals that want to go on a ride or to a restaurant on that reservation. Additionally, you can change your reservation online 24 hours ahead of time on the app or on your desktop.

Of course, Disney makes it super easy to separate you from your money, it's what they are good at.

Using the Disney App to Enhance Your Vacation Experience

Next, download the My Disney Experience app to view all your park plans including hotel, dinner reservations, order meals ahead of time, access PhotoPass service, view park maps, see wait lines at different rides, find character greetings, view showtimes, access FastPass reservations created with your Disney account.

When waiting in line, I recommend downloading the Disney Play app to your phone. Log in to your account and play a game that is based on your location in the park! Most games are two players, so you’ll need a person in your group to play with on the app.

FastPass and FastPass Plus at Disney

Fastpass can be reserved up to 30 days in advance and gives you a shorter line to wait in when at any of the parks. Fastpass + charges a fee and puts you at the front of the line. With COVID modifications, Fastpass + isn’t available right now as they are using social distancing with wait lines, and they are using the FastPass+ space for their regular line queue. Note: You can get three FP for one park per day.

From the Disney website: “Follow these quick steps and you’ll be riding the fast lane to fun in no time:

  1. Add people to your Family & Friends list to enable you to reserve access to FastPass+ attractions and entertainment for them.
  2. Link your vacation package, link your tickets or link your annual pass to your Disney account. If you purchased online, the package, tickets or passes may have been linked automatically.
  3. Reserve access to FastPass+ attractions and entertainment for each day that you have a valid theme park ticket linked to your Disney account.
  4. Visit the theme park on the day that you have FastPass+ selections.
  5. Go to the FastPass+ entrance or viewing area for the selected attraction or show during the designated arrival window time.”

“After you redeem your initial 3 selections, use the app or head to a kiosk to make another selection—even if you’re in a different park from your first choices!

Valid theme park admission is required. FastPass+ attractions and entertainment experiences, the number of selections you can make, and available arrival windows are limited. Making advance FastPass+ selections requires online registration.”

Disney’s Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge

The ultimate Star Wars experience for any fan, if you were going to do one thing at Disney, this would be it! Packed full of fun and exciting rides, gift shops, and dining experiences (if you’re not gluten-free), the Star Wars experience will blow your mind! Listen in to find out more details about why this experience is so amazing.

Oscar from The Peaceful Thrillseekers podcast agrees with me about the high level of coolness that the Disney team has put together for Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge. “The thing that makes it so spectacular is the cast members. I think the cast members have done an amazing job with Galaxy’s Edge. I think that if it weren’t for them, the experience wouldn’t be as special as it is.” Listen in to more of Oscar’s review on Episode #95

Disney Know Before You Go COVID Travel Update

First, you must reserve your time at any one of the four Disney theme parks that are currently open through the Disney Park Pass Reservation System. “To enter a park, both a park reservation and valid admission for the same park on the same date are required for each person in your party ages three and up (limit one park per day Disney is controlling the number of people in the park to maintain social distancing).”

FastPass+ service is suspended as they are using additional queue space to control capacity and maintain physical distancing. We will automatically cancel existing FastPass+ selections and share any future updates on the service at a later date.

There are selected resorts Disney has opened to guests. Disney Springs shopping opened in June. Remember that COVID is changing Disney’s offerings, so make sure to check their website for more information.

Make sure to view Disney’s new COVID precautions page before you make reservations to the park. Here is a summary of precautions Disney is taking to keep everyone safe:

  • Mandatory use of face masks
  • Sanitizing rides
  • Seating guests six feet apart
  • Hand washing stations located throughout the park
  • Physical and social distancing
  • Modified experiences
  • Temperature screenings are mandated at areas throughout the park

Disney’s disclaimer: “An inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any public place where people are present. COVID-19 is an extremely contagious disease that can lead to severe illness and death. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, senior citizens and Guests with underlying medical conditions are especially vulnerable.”

Episode 95

Peaceful Thrillseeker Gives Tips on Attending Theme Parks

In this episode, we get into another podcast with Oscar, The Peaceful Thrillseeker Podcast. His show talks about fun, new theme park rides, roller coasters, and new park openings! Even though we are in the middle of COVID, you can plan today what you will dream tomorrow, so look into the park you are interested in going to and keep your eyes open for new park openings.

Remember to be safe, wear a mask, wash your hands often, and definitely do not travel if you are in a high-risk group for COVID.

The Peaceful Thrillseekers Advice on Attending Theme Parks

When you are planning to go to a theme park, and you are bringing the family, make sure to have your reservations ahead of time as soon as possible. If you’re going to Disney, create a Disney account for all members of your family, and connect them under your name. You can reserve FastPasses for all your guests at the same time, right online!

Are you an Amazon Prime member? If so, you can order supplies ahead of time and have them shipped right to your Disney hotel room! He definitely recommends doing this in advance of your trip to avoid any “hiccups.”

If you are going with a group of friends, Oscar recommends starting at the back of the theme park, working your way forward to avoid the crowds. Many people start at the front of the park and move to the back end. Doing this in reverse helps to cut down on groups and wait times. He also advises avoiding crowded holiday times, as this will increase your wait times on rides and reduce the chances of riding on all the spins at the park you are visiting.

Definitely bring sunscreen, sun hat, poncho and sunglasses that you are not afraid to lose! These are essentials, especially in Florida theme parks. Wear comfortable walking sneakers - definitely don’t wear flats or heels to any of the theme parks. If you’re wearing sandals, make sure to wear the type that has the strap across the front and back of your foot to keep them secure, especially when you are riding coasters!

And, if you go to a theme park more than once a year, definitely invest in an annual pass for that park. This will save you hundreds of dollars and give you the flexibility to go to your favorite park for fun, once a year, special events.

Disney’s Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge

“The thing that makes it so spectacular is the cast members. I think the cast members have done an amazing job with Galaxy’s Edge. I think that if it weren’t for them, the experience wouldn’t be as special as it is.” Checkout The Peaceful Thrillseekers episode on Star Wars experience here.

Theme Parks for Kids and Parks for Adults

For kids, Oscar recommends Disney, Legoland, Sea World, Fun Spot.

Adult-centered theme parks include: Busch Gardens, and Universal. Although Universal does have more adult rides, they do also have rides for children. Oscar mentions that Cedar Point in Ohio is his dream coaster park and that he will make a mecca there one day.

Episode 94

Mike and Cam from the Celiac Project Talk Gluten Free Travel and Chicago Restaurants

In this episode, we get into another gluten-free podcast with Mike and Cam from the Celiac Project. The duo talk about their journey to their diagnosis of Celiac disease, how they met, Mike’s Celiac Project Documentary and their strong bond of friendship. We also dive into how Cam trained his dog to smell gluten, the different types of dogs that are good “scent dogs” and the type of training he put his dog Lacey through to be a gluten-sniffing assist canine. We also chat about the recent FDA label changes, how relaxing the labeling can affect those with Celiac and Cam and Mike’s favorite gluten-free vacations and Chicago restaurants!

The Celiac Project Podcast

In The Celiac Project Podcast, Michael Frolichstein talks about celiac disease and navigating a gluten-free lifestyle with fellow celiac, Cam Weiner. Join us every Wednesday as we delve into many topics, current events, and special guests in the celiac and gluten-free community. We welcome your comments and suggestions for new show topics.

The Celiac Project Documentary

The inspiration for this film came after director Michael Frolichstein struggled with a series of "mystery ailments" before finally being diagnosed with Celiac Disease at age 40. Michael was shocked to learn that this auto-immune disease, which affects 1% of the US population, is 83% undiagnosed or misdiagnosed.

His journey to meet others who had suffered, as well as to get answers from experts, led him to uncover more mysteries within his own family. The documentary ultimately explores what we can do individually and as a society to advance the conversation and raise awareness about the disease.

Guest Bio

Following a lifetime of dismissive doctors, unexplained symptoms, and emotional stress, filmmaker Michael Frolichstein received a life-changing diagnosis at the age of 40—celiac disease. Camera in hand, Frolichstein set out unaware of the odyssey before him. The result is “The Celiac Project,” a powerful, first-of-its-kind documentary; its goal is to raise awareness about celiac disease.

The documentary is currently rolling out on different Public Television stations nationally. Soon after completing the film, Michael met Cam Weiner at a screening of his film. Cam related to Michael’s story, as his own health issues and subsequent diagnosis with celiac disease forced him to pause his budding film career. The two forged a secure connection and a shared mission of raising awareness.

Together, they launched a weekly podcast in January of 2016 to discuss and highlight issues and topics relevant to the celiac and gluten-free community. There are over 225 episodes to date, covering a myriad of fascinating topics and special guests.

Episode 93

Gluten Free News You Can Use with Andrea Tucker of 100% Gluten Free News

In this episode, we get into another gluten-free podcast with Andrea Tucker from Baltimore Gluten Free and her podcast 100% Gluten Free News. Andrea brings the latest news about gluten-free to your ears with a daily podcast! She gives us the 411 on her favorite gluten-free Baltimore restaurants. And if you haven’t eaten a delicious baked good lately because you can’t get out of the house as a result of COVID restrictions, listen in to find out which dedicated gluten-free bakeries are now delivering!

Living Gluten Free Requires Self-Management

“Living gluten-free for medical reasons requires daily self-management and vigilance, unlike any other disease management. Disease and symptom management – solely through food – requires the patient to take over daily as a case manager. Add in the psycho-social component, especially when navigating a child through the waters, and it can be overwhelming.”

Baltimore Gluten Free

As a result of the overwhelming need for support and the lack of support offered to the gluten-free community in her area, Andrea started Baltimore Gluten Free. Offering support groups for both kids and adults, Andrea holds and runs events and activities for gluten-free families centered around holidays. She hosts her events at any one of the dedicated gluten-free bakeries or restaurants in her area.

Her events are not centered around medical topics; rather, gathering the community to support each other, mentor, and create an environment where children and adults can find solace in knowing that many others like them are going through similar challenges. Children, especially, enjoy seeing other kids, like them, who are gluten-free.

We chat about incorrect gluten-free labeling, why you should be a label reader, the enforcement of gluten-free labeling by the FDA, and of course, her podcast 100% Gluten Free News. Of course, we also talk about travel. Andrea tells her favorite gluten-free travel spots, great food she has found while traveling and why her family travels to eat.

100% Gluten Free News Podcast

Andrea offers 100% Gluten Free News Podcast as a daily microcast. Find out what you need to know about what’s happening in the gluten-free world, what products are not safe to eat, and legislation that affects the gluten-free peeps in our community.

Guest Bio

For as long as she can remember, Andrea has been passionate about nutrition and food as a vehicle to health. From a little girl reading her mom’s Prevention Magazine in the ’70s to her career as a health coach, she started using food as medicine. Not only was this new lifestyle, her practice, but it became her internal mantra.

Andrea is a Health Educator and leads gluten-free activity groups for adults and children living gluten-free for medical reasons. She and my family have been GF for over 10 years and love to travel to destinations that have dedicated gluten-free dining. “We travel to eat!” Listen in to her daily microcast, The Gluten Free News.

Podcasters for Justice

We All Deserve Equal Rights

In light of the civil unrest that has been happening for over half a century, I wanted to support my friends who are podcasters of color. My best friend is black, I have many black friends in the podcasting community. Although I’ve treated all human beings fairly and with respect, I don’t feel that I can speak on behalf of people that have been persecuted and had their rights infringed upon because of the color of their skin.

As an anthropology student, I learned that race was created as a hierarchical structure to keep white men in control. Similarly, white men developed a list of what “women cannot do” to prevent females from becoming equals in the eyes of men. Women of color, in particular, I feel have had multiple challenges not because of who they are or what they do but because of the genetic factor of skin color.

I’ve always believed this to be an injustice. I enjoy spending time with people of all races and skin colors as I see all people on this Earth as human beings. Treating people with respect is not a privilege; it is a right, and the people of this Earth should act according to this universal law of decency. To do otherwise is to bring down yourself and humanity along with it.

Travel Gluten Free Supports Juneteenth and #Black Lives Matter

For June 19th, I wanted to share my support of my friends, who are podcasters of color. I felt to have a message that speaks from experience as a person who has lived with this injustice is more appropriate than for myself, a female caucasian, to be talking about this story. Graciously, Danielle Desir, a female podcaster of color, and friend offered her original audio to republish on my platform.

The following PSA is original content from Danielle Desir’s podcast The Thought Card

“With so much happening in the world, it’s easy to feel helpless, especially if you’re not out protesting. However, as podcasters, we have platforms where we can speak out against racism and police brutality. Collectively, we have built engaged audiences that listen to our voices regularly, and with a coordinated effort, we can combine our voices to take a strong stance against racism and police brutality.

We serve many audiences, but we can speak with one voice. One voice that does not mince words and demands justice. We created this simple PSA (public service announcement) for podcasters or any content creator to post and share in hopes that we can come together across digital spaces to support the work of activists on the front lines of change, who risk themselves daily to create a better world for us all.

Please join us in taking a stand during this critical time by issuing the following statement on your podcast or other digital platform(s):

We are (podcasters/bloggers/Youtubers/influencer/etc.) united to condemn the tragic murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and many many others at the hands of police. This is a continuation of the systemic racism pervasive in our country since its inception, and we are committed to standing against racism in all its forms.

We believe that to be silent is to be complicit.

We believe that Black lives matter.

We believe that Black lives are more important than property.

We believe that we have a responsibility to use our platforms to speak out against this injustice whenever and wherever we are witnesses to it.

In creating digital media we have built audiences that return week after week to hear our voices, and we will use our voices to speak against anti-blackness and police brutality, and we encourage our audiences to be educated, engaged, and to take action. “

Here are three ways you can participate and make a difference:

  1. Read the above statement on your next show release and post the above statement and graphic to your social media feeds.
    1. George Floyd Memorial Fund
    2. Minnesota Freedom Fund
    3. Black Visions Collective
    4. Campaign Zero
    5. Black Lives Matter
  2. Donate a portion of your show proceeds and ask audience members to donate to any of the following:
    1. Text “Floyd” to 55156 to sign a petition to demand justice for George Floyd.
    2. Sign-up at Color of Change to be notified of more opportunities to take action.
  3. Sign a petition and ask your audience to sign:

Please use the hashtags: #PodcastersForJustice #WOCPodcasters #BlackLivesMatter

Episode 92

The Canadian Gluten Free Scene with Sue Jennet A Canadian Celiac Podcast

In this episode, we get into the Canadian Celiac Scene, the many gluten-free choices for celiacs, shopping for gluten-free food in Canada, and what led Sue Jennet to create the Canadian Celiac Podcast. We also chat about Sue’s collaboration with the Canadian Celiac Association, our daughter’s takes on Celiac disease, and her delicious thin and crispy gluten-free graham crackers.

We also chat about our daughters’ experience with Celiac disease, gluten-free brands in the US and Canada such as Kinnikinnick, Only Oats, Schar Gluten Free, and Glutino. Sue gives excellent information about ethnic foods, including her favorite Asian restaurant Rison Young in Canada. She also talks about gluten-free certification for restaurants in Canada, the role of the Canadian Celiac Association, and how she chooses content for her podcast.

Sue Jennet’s Bakery

For ten years, Sue baked her way to local fame, opening a gluten-free bakery in her town. She was locally famous for her creations of gluten-free homemade pasta, cinnamon buns, holiday cookies, and her warm and fresh baguettes on Saturday mornings. She also created a thin and crispy graham cracker for her daughter to take with her to summer camp.

The Canadian Celiac Podcast

Launching her podcast in January 2018, Sue used her past background in media to move her forward into podcasting. She has collaborated with The Candian Celiac Foundation and Ellen Baynes of the Celiac Scene for up-to-date content. Her most memorable episode is when she interviewed her daughter about growing up with Celiac disease.

A Canadian Celiac Podcast explores, educates, and gives advice to celiacs and those who lead a gluten-free lifestyle with information, research, and lifestyle issues. Sue interviews others in the gluten-free lifestyle about their personal stories and challenges with Celiac’s disease.

Sue Jennett has access to the most prominent minds and personalities in the Celiac and gluten-free community in Canada. Learn about new initiatives of the Canadian Celiac Association and how they can benefit your everyday life. Join Sue’s weekly conversations, as she delves into all things Celiac and gluten-free.

Guest Bio

Sue counts more than 20 years since both she and her daughter have been diagnosed with celiac disease. During that time, she has operated a gluten-free bakery, runs a celiac kids camp, and is currently producing and hosting a gluten-free baking show on cable TV in Ontario.

Sue is a celiac who owned and operated a gluten-free bakery for more than 10 years. After closing the bakery, she started working in an office, which she didn’t find very rewarding. She wanted to utilize much of the knowledge gained while baking and approached her local cable channel about producing a gluten-free baking show. The show ran locally and within Ontario for two seasons.

Sue soon found she enjoyed the media and left her office job to return to school to study different forms of modern media. She examined what I really enjoyed in both courses and realized that I was passionate about doing interviews. Her vast knowledge of celiac disease and the gluten-free diet was a perfect fit as she had great relationships within the celiac community, which she utilized for my content.

For many years she has held a leadership role in her local celiac community and organized a celiac kids camp for five years. “It always amazes me how putting yourself out there, lets you be found again and again.”

Episode 91

Makeena App with Karen Frame

In this episode, we get into the development of Karen Frame’s Makeena app, the only app that offers rebates online for gluten-free and specialty diet foods! “Makeena is a free, easy to use loyalty app that earns you cashback and rewards after you purchase healthy & eco-friendly products at any retailer.”

How Makeena Started

Karen’s dad was a science professor at the University of Illinois. Through her dad, she learned science, mathematics, social studies, and English on a device that was a touchscreen back in the ’60s and ’70s.

After she married, she and her husband went to a small natural foods and products store in Urbana, Illinois, called Strawberry Fields. “ Their team was helpful and would always point you in the right direction.” Moving to Boulder in 1993, Karen and her husband shopped at Alfalfa’s and Wild Oats. These were much bigger stores compared to their old hometown store, Strawberry Fields. That was the “aha” moment where she realized she should build touchscreen kiosk systems that allow the consumer to navigate the retail environment.

Karen tells the story of how her journey culminated in blazing the path of the Makeena app. “I felt like I had all these different roads, and they all led to Makeena. It was an intersection of what I should be doing. I am really passionate about the idea that if we could make better-for-you products more affordable and accessible for everyone anywhere they need to shop, then we’re going to have a cleaner planet and a healthier population. This is the bigger vision that I have as the founder. That’s what keeps me going because it is tough to be a founder.”

How Karen Decided on a Name for Makeena

“Keena” means ‘happiness’ in Swahili, ‘‘abundance’ in Hawaiin and ‘machine’ in Arabic. The name was also available as a website and was available for national trademark. She likes that her platform gives brands a “stamp of approval for curation.” Because Makeena stands for ‘happiness’, she wants to make sure that both the shopper and the brand are happy. Karen also wants to make the world “a cleaner place” and that there is abundance for everybody - for consumers and brands. Technology comes in on the app side of her business, making this information available through her app on the world wide web.

Guest Bio

Karen is passionate about being an entrepreneur and making the world a better place. She firmly believes that building a technology company in the natural products space will encourage people to shop healthier because Makeena will make it easy for them to make smarter choices. Karen became an entrepreneur in the early 1990s when she moved to Boulder, Colorado, and built and operated two interactive touchscreen kiosk companies, one for the real estate industry and one for the natural products industry.

Since then, Karen has been general counsel for several emerging growth and publicly-held software and data analytics companies. Karen earned her degree in accounting and business from Indiana University and a CPA and a law degree from the University of Illinois. She also attended Oxford University, focusing on international business transactions, and taught Principles of Business for Entrepreneurs in the Cross Campus Entrepreneurship Certificate Program at the University of Colorado.

Episode 90

Gluten Free and Chemical Free COVID Camping Skincare

Since many people have been camping for their COVID vacation, I wanted to share with you a great gluten-free and chemical-free skincare line with amazing products for you and your family when you're camping or having fun outdoors.

Utah is known for its outdoor fun and adventure; however, you need to be safe in the sun. Did you know that Utah is #1 for skin cancer in the United States? Since we are at high elevation, our sun is much stronger than other places at lower elevations, so you can burn easier. Additionally, some people think they can't get a sunburn in the winter when it's cold; however, that is entirely false. You can actually burn easier in the winter because not only are you getting sun from the sky, you are also getting reflected sunlight bouncing off of the snow.

I love camping. I love the outdoors, sleeping outside, sleeping in my hammock, having a campfire every night, not caring about smelling like campfire smoke or makeup. The beautiful trails I hike and the out-of-the-way places I find when I'm taking that road trip to my next camping spot. There are so many things to love!

Few activities are a must when camping. One, especially in Utah or climates that are dry and at high elevation, is taking care of your skin. The largest organ in your body can quickly become dehydrated, burned, and bitten during outdoor adventures unless you take proper precautions with your skincare.

Chemical Free Hydration for Your Skin

Keeping skin hydrated means drinking lots of water. The higher elevation, the less oxygen and the more water you need to drink, however, if you're drinking lots of water, you want to also take an electrolyte supplement or salt supplement, so you don't unbalance the electrical connections in your body! Remember, if you're out in the heat, drinking more water doesn't cool your body temperature, you must pour water on you, bath in cool water, get into a climate-controlled environment or wrap a wet towel on your head or your hotspots on your body to cool yourself down.

Besides my hands, I find my face is super hard to keep hydrated, especially overnight. Lemongrass Spa's Coconut Overnight Rehab Cream is a high moisture cream, applied at night, to rehydrate dry skin.

Healing Elements is a fantastic cream that keeps my super dry skin hydrated overnight as well. Besides being super-healing, it smells deliciously amazing! It's heavy cream, with a texture like a salve. There's no doubt you have a protective layer between your skin and the elements when you put this on your skin. My dog Lily loves to have a taste when I'm applying this to my skin after a shower.

Besides camping, many cancer patients have used this cream to heal their sensitive, burned, and dry skin from chemotherapy or radiation.

I've recently used this cream on a 23-inch surgical scar, and my surgeon was super impressed with how healed my scar was two weeks post-op. I've also used this on my hands, legs, arms, face, and my lips in the wintertime. There are very few places on my body where I haven't used this amazing cream! You can get this in a travel size, or a stick, which is super easy to use and is not considered a liquid!

Ultra Hydrating Body Cream is heavy cream but a bit lighter than Healing Elements, which is great for everyday use for any type of dry skin. It's unscented and gluten and chemical-free. I have very sensitive skin, and this cream has never bothered my skin in any way. I've used this almost everywhere on my body as well, and I would recommend this cream for kids who have sensory issues as it does not have a funny unscented smell or any types of abrasives. It's very smooth and not heavy. This comes in a travel size as well!

Last but not least, your nails take a beating when your living your outdoor experience. Lemongrass Spa's ultra-hydrating nail balm will give your nails a layer of protection while keeping your nails and skin hydrated. No need to worry about having dry, cracked, or damaged nails at the end of your camping trip! Grab the travel-ready 2oz size or get the travel set with a stick and 2oz cream to keep in your backpack and your travel bag!

Sunscreen

An essential element to any outdoor activity, many sunscreens have artificial perfumes or chemicals you don't want in your open pores, especially when you're outdoors swimming in a lake or other body of water. Marine life definitely doesn't appreciate our chemicals in their environment either!

Lemongrass Spa tinted sunscreen is my absolute favorite sunscreen and the only one I wear on my face. The tint in the sunscreen prevents that cloudy white look from regular sunscreen, also, I've found this sunscreen prevents sunburn better than other, more expensive sunscreens I've put on my face. It's a no brainer when it comes to sunscreen for your face. In a stick, and not considered a liquid, Sunscreen Sport Stick is easy to transport and use no matter where your adventure takes you!

Bug-A-Boo Insect Repellent

Also, in a 1 oz stick and not a liquid, the Bug-a-Boo insect repellent is easy to take along when traveling! Keep the bugs away with a natural alternative, formulated with skin-softening almond oil, beeswax, geranium essential oil, catnip essential oil, citronella, and cedarwood. It does not contain any DEET or chemically derived insecticides. Kid-safe and environmentally friendly.

If you're looking for a spray, grab Bug-a-Boo duo, sold in a convenient two-pack with a 4oz size for at home and a 2oz size for travel! Drop-in your backpack and carry along to reapply when hiking, at the beach, or enjoying a picnic at the park or in the backcountry.

Want both the stick and the liquid spray? The Bug-a-Bool Family Pack contains the duo spray with the 1oz stick for a bundled discounted price!

Episode 89

Gluten Free Ready to Eat Camping Meals

Since many people have been camping for their COVID vacation, I wanted to share with you a great gluten-free and chemical-free skincare line with amazing products for you and your family when you're camping or having fun outdoors. Utah is known for its outdoor fun and adventure; however, when you're eating ready to eat meals and foods, you have to be an avid label reader to make sure you are choosing safe, gluten-free meals.

Today I'll be sharing with you great gluten-free pre-made camping food for you and your family when you're camping or having fun outdoors. Utah is known for its outdoor fun and adventure, and camping is one of the activities almost everyone participates in.

I love camping. I love the outdoors, sleeping outside, sleeping in my hammock, having a campfire every night, not caring about smelling like campfire smoke or makeup. The beautiful trails I hike and the out-of-the-way places I find when I'm taking that road trip to my next camping spot. There are so many things to love!

Ready To Eat Camping Meals Are Quick and Easy

If you love camping, but you don't want to spend the time prepping, making and cleaning up dinner, there's an easy alternative - get pre-made camping food. With ready to eat meals, you can create breakfast, lunch or dinner in a snap by just adding hot water to a resealable pouch and waiting for the food to cook for the specified time on the package. They are easy, lightweight, and take up minimal room for food. If you're a backcountry backpacker, ready to eat meals are an essential part of your daily macros.

Although easy to prep, make, and clean-up the downside to ready to eat meals is that they are loaded with salt. If you're out in the summer sweating and don't have issues related to eating salts such as water retention or high blood pressure, then you are safe! If you do have medical problems associated with consuming high amounts of salt, I would suggest not using ready to eat meals with their high sodium content.

Watch Out for Gluten in Your Camping Food

Additionally, you have to be very careful to choose gluten-free meals. Never trust the label on the package - especially in the US. Andrea Tucker from Gluten Free News podcast has reported on foods whose label says gluten-free, but the ingredients contain gluten.

Make sure the camping food you choose doesn't have MSG monosodium glutamate or modified food starch that isn't explicitly labeled corn or potato. These have gotten me in trouble on more than one occasion. Also, look out for the words "natural spices" as this ingredient may also translate into gluten. Besides, you want to look for labeling that reads "made in a factory that contains" if you are celiac or have a food allergy.

I like to go to my local camping and outdoor stores to see the packaging, read the ingredients, and purchase the camping food. Once I've found food I like, I then buy it online. I would definitely avoid buying these foods online from Amazon as they have issues with knock-offs, and that could completely ruin your vacation! When purchasing online, buy from a reputable outfitter such as REI, or the official company website of the meals you are buying. Making sure that your meals are safe is critical to your vacation experience!

Backpacker's Pantry

Backpacker's Pantry freeze-dried meals that are yummy and gluten-free. These lightweight, freeze-dried, gluten-free meal packs, are designed to be free of gluten. "From potato stew with beef to Santa Fe style rice and beans with chicken, there are plenty of delectable options for just about every type of appetite. You can even get gluten-free risotto with chicken, crafted to mimic the texture and flavor of the original Italian dish with a creamy blend of parmesan cheese, rice, broccoli, corn, onion, bell pepper, and tomato."

Their website makes it easy to find gluten-free choices for breakfast, gluten-free lunch, or gluten-free dinners. You can also sort food by new gluten-free food items. For breakfast, try their carrot-cake pancakes with pineapple, raisins, and coconut milk or their Summit Scramble complete with milk and peppers. These sound like a fantastic breakfast or dinner after a long hike!

For dinner, try their Katmandu Curry, Pad Thai with Chicken, or Jamaican Style Rice Jerk with Beans. With over 60 different entrees to choose from, you are sure to find one that you can see yourself eating around a campfire!

Mountain House Adventure Meals

Certified gluten-free goodness leads the way with Mountain House Entrees. Chicken Teriyaki, Pad Thai with Chicken, and Yellow Curry Chicken and Rice, to name a few of the choices. I like that these are certified gluten-free as we know that these are safe for celiacs.

There are eight gluten-free breakfasts, including Scrambled Eggs with Bacon, Spicy Southwest Breakfast Hash, and Scrambled Eggs with Ham and Pepper.

Good To Go Meals

They are great as they give you many more gluten-free and vegetarian options. Many camping pre-packaged foods are meat-based, however, if you're vegetarian and gluten-free, this may be the best brand to use!

The motto is to create the most delicious meals, using clean ingredients, to be enjoyed wherever your adventures take you. "Chef Jennifer's creations are thoughtfully crafted to provide a meal that not only tastes great but is truly good for you. Whether you've hiked all day for that summit view, rose with an alpine start to earn that backcountry turns, or are simply looking for an easy-to-make option at home, all you need is boiling water, and in minutes you'll have a delicious meal."

Gluten-free choices cooked up by Chef Jennifer are Herbed Mushroom Risotto, Kale and White Bean Stew, and Classic Marinara with Pasta.

Base Camp Food

Based in the UK, Base Camp Food has a selection of freeze-dried meals with lots of tasty gluten-free options. Expedition Foods Beef and Potato Hotpot, which is a delicious combination of minced beef, onion, carrot swede, lentils, and diced potato. "A team favorite is the LYO Expedition Traditional Polish Sauerkraut" 100% natural ingredients with no artificial preservatives and tastes excellent. Real Turmat Kebab Casserole will add some warmth to any camp!

Episode 88

Gluten Free COVID Camping Snacks and Foods

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!

I love camping. I love the outdoors, sleeping outside, sleeping in my hammock, having a campfire every night, not caring about smelling like campfire smoke or makeup. The beautiful trails I hike and the out-of-the-way places I find when I'm taking that road trip to my next camping spot. There are so many things to love!

Storing Food for COVID Camping

Ice

Use dry ice! There are several reasons not to use regular ice in your cooler.

  • Regular ice is heavier when you first get the ice and even heavier when the ice melts, and you have a pool of water in your cooler
  • Food in cooler gets wet when your ice melts
  • Have to throw out good, expensive food - ever tried to eat wet gluten-free bread?
  • Dry ice lasts much longer than regular ice.

Be careful not to touch dry ice with your hands as you can get a burn. Handle with paper or a towel! Although a bit more expensive, dry ice is worth the extra cost because of the benefits listed above.

Coolers

Best cooler: Yeti coolers, they are pretty pricey, starting at $79.99 for a lunchbox, however; they are the best option when you are not going to be near any dry ice for days. The description from their website reads, "Extreme insulation power and durability are bare minimum requirements for every cooler we make — and we never stop there. Our hard coolers don't flinch in the face of snowstorms, the beating sun, or even bears, and our soft coolers are leakproof, waterproof, and quick to carry. As for our foldable lunch bag, that's only for those of you who enjoy ice-cold drinks and a fresh meal on your lunch menu."

Storing Food in Your Car

When I go on a road trip, I get shallow plastic boxes. Why shallow? I can more easily organize my food and see my food because it's one layer deep and not several layers. If you get containers with a sunken top, you can easily tape a paper label to the bin so you can see what is in that container. Put canned, aluminum packaged, nut butter, snacks, and other sealed items in these bins.

Make sure to not leave open food in containers or your cooler, especially if you are in bear country. They can peel down a locked door car window to get to your food. Definitely NEVER store or bring any food, toiletries (because they smell like food to a bear), or any food wrappers into your tent. This will attract bears at night, and they don't like that you are preventing them from getting to their food.

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.

For example, if you have 14 different types of squeezable fruits, put all the squeezable fruits in one Ziploc bag. This way, when you are packing snacks for a hike, you can easily find what you want, and choose a flavor. You can tell your kids that they get to pick three snacks, from any of the snack bags you have brought. This is an easy way to give out and pack snacks before a hike.

You can also give each child a Ziploc with their name on the front with a permanent marker. This way, their bag is their responsibility, and they won't accidentally take someone else's snacks when it's time to stop and eat.

My Favorite Gluten-Free Hiking Snacks

In previous podcasts, I've talked about how you can avoid messy foods when you pack for travel. This also includes camping and hiking. In Utah, especially in the summer, it gets scorching here! Anything and everything, including lip balm, will melt inside your car. Make sure not to bring snacks with a coating or that have large amounts of chocolate. This is especially true with protein bars and cookies, make sure to try them out first before you take them camping with you.

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.

KaPop Returns!

In this episode, we get into the crazy details of Dustin Finkel’s shark tank experience! What he did to prepare for his presentation, how he coordinated his staff for the experience, and what happened when his signs dropped down in the incorrect order. Find out which shark offered him a job after his presentation!

How KaPop! Snacks Started

Dustin Finkel, standing at 6’6, is the head KaPoP! At his startup, KaPop Snacks. His CEO position at his own gluten-free snack company has given him an appreciation of what a small company CEO brings to the table. He founded KaPop! Snacks as he was looking for a snack which was nutritious, clean and tasted great; however, a snack of this proportion was nowhere to be found. Dustin created KaPop! Snacks with ancient grains to fill these three requirements. His motto, to give people a snack with “Authenticity, simplicity and joy!”.

Be Aware of Ancient Grain Snack Ingredients

“Many ancient grain products have fillers such as corn” says Dustin and I have recently experienced the same thing! Using more ancient grain products recently, I’ve found that not only do many of these have corn, they also have rice, sometimes as the main ingredient. I was shocked to find out how many products which have the phrase “ancient grain” on their label either have very little ancient grain or are mixed with other common grains, such as corn. KaPop! Is an authentic ancient grain snack, not mixed with grains that can cause allergens.

Why KaPop! Snacks are Popular

With 5-star reviews across many platforms, people are loving KaPop! Snacks as much as I do! One man loved KaPop so much after sampling them at a gluten-free conference that he went across the street to a tattoo parlor and had KaPop! Brand logo tattooed onto his arm!

Gluten Free Camping and KaPop!

When you’re camping, you want a snack that is easy to eat, healthy and, if you’re hiking in hot weather, a snack with some salt. KaPop is an awesome snack to eat when you’re camping - it’s light and easy to carry, tasty and nutritious! You can get KaPop in 1oz snack size, which is great for kids, or 3oz., which is what I get when I order directly from KaPop!

Dustin Representing KaPop on Shark Tank

Dustin likens his Shark Tank exposure to having a “Super Bowl commercial for your brand.” Within 10 minutes of airing, his website went from five visitors to 50,000 visitors, 1.1 billion impressions and information exposure worth around $10 million. Listen in to find out who asked him out on a date and which shark asked Dustin to work for his company!

Guest Bio

Dustin is a CrossFit instructor, spent 15 years in CPG, and was previously an Investment Banker at Goldman Sachs. While at his corporate position, Dustin launched the first gluten-free product to go national with Gluten-Free Chex.

Personally, he is a health enthusiast, he loves fitness, and loves eating even more! He is a CrossFit instructor and trains many of his neighbors and friends. He is constantly battling the desire to watch every ingredient that goes into his body with the desire to just enjoy eating! One night, he and a few friends gorged on “healthy chips”only to find out when they read the bag that the “healthy” snack was high in empty calories and bad fats. Surprisingly enough, they didn’t even taste that great. Justin knew there had to be a better way! He thought, “What if I could take the snacks everyone loves – like chips, snack bites, treats, and popcorn and just do them over with better ingredients?”. Being a Paleo enthusiast since 2007, he soon realized he had a bunch of ancient grains in his pantry. He thought, what if he could make a snack with ancient grains?!

Gluten Free Camping with Erika Lenkert from GFF Magazine

In this episode, we dive into the San Francisco foodie scene, why San Francisco is a culinary hotspot, eating gluten-free foods in the Greek Isles, the fantastic gluten-free food in Barcelona, Spain. We also chat about European gluten-free travel, gluten-free France, her experience in Italy with dedicated gluten-free restaurants, and gluten-free Tiramisu.

Gluten Free Camping and COVID-19 Travel

While many vacation types and trips are off the plate due to the spread of COVID-19, camping is still an activity we can enjoy! Getting into the great outdoors, away from others while camping is the perfect combination of social distancing and having an excellent outdoor adventure all in the same experience.

Erika’s Introduction to Food

Being raised in San Francisco, Erika has been in the middle of the foodie scene from the very beginning. Her mother was a foodie and took her to restaurants, cooking classes, and the hole-in-the-wall places, exposing her to a broad array of different types of ethnic cuisines and better ingredients. “My friends would tease me as they wanted to come to my house because I had the best food.”

The first food item she learned to make before she was gluten-free is garlic bread that she admits is a very “San Francisco food.”

Erika is an admitted cravings person when she wants something, she wants it a lot! As a teenager, she wanted eggs benedict when she came home, so that was the first food she learned how to make.

“Ever since the gold rush, San Francisco has been in the middle of the food scene. They all missed the food at home. Many people didn’t make it rich from gold, but many made their riches from restaurants serving that food from home.” She enjoys being a resident of the area as a rich restaurant heritage from the old west days. Erika also loves the food scene in San Francisco because the chefs are so passionate about the culinary scene.

Her Start in Travel Writing

Her first gig was writing about San Francisco restaurants for Time Magazine in New York. She then “fell into” writing for the Frommer’s Guide to San Francisco, then California, for over a decade. “Having a local write your guide is important.”

After Frommer’s, she sidetracked with a friend writing in themed entertainment in LA. She worked on a Star Trek project with him producing this project. Additionally, Erika started knocking on magazines in the Los Angeles area and found work there. She then continued writing about food back in San Francisco, writing for several national magazines. “I think my passion for all of those things came together and afforded me a lot of exceptional opportunities that I was fortunate to have.”

Finding a Niche for Her Gluten Free Magazine

Being a food critic and an eater, not a snacker, and being blessed with a good metabolism. In the year 2000, everything changed for her. Being in her early 30’s, with a stressful job, Erika realized her body was changing. She went from eating what she wanted to eat to gain 15 pounds, couldn’t fit into her clothes, and her skin and nails were in poor condition. With an elimination diet, she realized her sensitivity to gluten. While working in the food industry as a food critic, she heard much criticism about gluten-free food tasting terrible.

“I think I have this culmination of a desire to share with people what I knew to be true, which is, it’s very easy to eat fantastically well and enjoy everything that you want gluten-free if you know the right recipes and the right products.”

Along with her experience, and her realization that she didn’t have the creativity she desired from her work, Erika held a Kickstarter campaign to start her magazine, GFF magazine, Gluten Free Forever. She raised $94,000 and gathered people from around the world that were talented recipe developers, photographers, and writers, and focused on creating a magazine that was about outstanding eating.

Guest Bio

Erika is a food writer, cookbook author, food critic and travel writer for such magazines as InStyle, Food & Wine, Travel & Leisure. Erika’s current food niche she is focusing on is currently the most significant trend in food - gluten-free farm to table. She started her own gluten-free publication when she realized that being gluten-free wasn’t the end of the world. Erika wanted to make gluten-free life better for others. “There was a better GF life out there than people knew about if they had the right information and products. I wanted to give that to people and was exasperated by the reputation of gluten-free being flavorless and with horrible texture.” Erika believes that great gluten-free baking is easy if you know what to do!

Dog Friendly Utah Hiking Trails

Welcome to Spring Into Health! A series podcasts dedicated to health, healing and auto-immune disease.

Utah Hiking Trails to Beat COVID-19 Boredom

While working at an insurance agency, Alicia from Girl On a Hike started looking for information on hiking trails in Utah. An avid hiker, her friends, would ask her about the hikes she went on when we're good times to go, and which trails she liked the best. A friend suggested she start a blog on hiking trails in Utah. After looking around the internet for hiking trail information, Alicia couldn't find the detailed information she was looking for: what to expect on the trail, step by step information with pictures, and which trails were dog friendly. She wanted to make her blog stand out from other blogs, apps, and information on Utah trails, "I wanted to put stuff in there that nobody else had," so she started her own blog Girl On a Hike.

Building Her Blog Girl On a Hike

Knowing nothing about coding and web design, a friend directed her toward Blogger. Alicia wasn't sure if she wanted to stick with her blog, "I liked to write, but I've never written trail guides. I didn't know if this was for me if this was worth the time and money I had to put into this." She started on this platform, but ultimately her need for her own site sparked an interest to change her career to coding and web design.

Choosing a Trail for Her Blog

Alicia takes notes in her notes section, and her "to-do hiking list gets longer every year." She has many trails she would like to hike, but can't get to all of them by December. "Even though I feel like I've explored a lot of Utah, I feel there are so many trails I haven't explored."

Basing Her Vacation Around Hiking

"I travel to explore and find new areas," she says of her vacation plans. She isn't the stay by the pool and sips a drink kind of gal. Alicia plans her entire trip around backpacking and hiking trails. She also takes her dog Charlie, who recently turned eight, along with her on all her hikes and adventures.

Listen in to find out where Alicia likes to take her dog the most, her favorite spots in southern Utah, and where you can and can't take your dogs in State Parks in Utah. Learn the guidelines for off-leash parks, Alicia’s favorite off-leash parks and why you should have excellent recall with your dog.

Guest Bio

Alicia Baker is the owner of "Girl on a Hike," a blog that follows Alicia and her hiking companion, Charlie, a Golden Lab, on their outdoor adventures. She has lived in Utah for since 2013 and loves exploring everything from the High Uintas to the San Rafael Swell and desert. Each year, she and Charlie hike and backpack an average of 700 miles. "Girl on a Hike" has been awarded as one of the Top 100 Outdoor & Hiking Blogs from 2016 through 2019. She is also the author of "Salt Lake City's Best 52 Hikes", available only on Amazon.

Be Healthy Utah

Welcome to Spring Into Health! A series podcasts dedicated to health, healing and auto-immune disease.

“The more knowledge you have, the more you can become empowered to make the changes you need and doing so, your life may be elevated…”

-Dr. Shane and Liz Watt

Utah’s Health and Wellness Experts

Dr. Shane and Liz Watts started their journey into alternative health when Liz and Shane’s father experienced health issues which were not being resolved by modern medicine. Liz heard a talk about gut health and gut microbiome that inspired her to take a change in her healthcare direction.

She started incorporating more natural and holistic healthcare into her daily routine. While Liz supplemented with alternative healthcare, Shane went down the rabbit hole of functional medicine. Together, Shane and Liz started their own movement through the world of holistic healing.

Then one morning, Liz woke up and told Shane she had a dream that they were supposed to start a health and wellness conference in Utah. Shocked, but supportive of Liz’s vision, Shane and Liz started the Be Health Utah conference.

“Anyone who wants to experience life to the fullest and not just live life” should come to this conference. No matter if you’re a natural health expert or just starting off on your wellness journey, you’re sure to find an interesting, educational and supportive environment at the conference.

Episode 83

Gluten-Free Travel Skincare, Body Care and Cosmetics

Welcome to Spring Into Health! A series podcasts dedicated to health, healing and auto-immune disease.

Lemongrass Spa - My Favorite Skincare Line

Today I'd like to share with you my favorite skincare line - Lemongrass Spa. I interviewed Karen Smith, a skin consultant for the line on episode 55, I’d highly recommend you listen to that episode if you haven’t yet.

I met Karen at the Nourished Festival in Denver last year and tried Healing Elements at her suggestions. She said this was the best cosmetic lotion for dry skin. I have really dry skin and have yet to find a skin cream that keeps me moisturized for 24 hours. To my surprise, Healing Elements did the trick! Additionally, I found out that not only are all their products natural and free from over 100 chemicals, the business is female-owned and all (but one) of their products are 100% gluten-free!

I bought a few items and ended up becoming a consultant for Lemongrass Spa. Full disclosure: ordering from Lemongrass Spa links on this page financially supports the TGF show. You get safe, amazing gluten-free cosmetics and in return, get to support the information you love!

Spa Products that are Eco Friendly

Did you know the average amount of chemicals in your skincare? This is scary, there are, on average, 25 chemicals in each of the cosmetics you use on a daily basis! That’s right, you are putting an average of 25 chemicals onto the largest organ in your body - your skin. Two offenders with the highest amount of toxins are lipstick at 33 toxins and sunscreen and body lotion at 32 toxins.

Why is eco-friendly, non-toxic skincare important to me? I have cancer in my family on both sides, low thyroid, and celiac disease. I’m swapping out my skin and body care essentials I own now for lemongrass spa products.

Great Idea to Beat COVID Boredom!

Episode 82

Naltrexone for Relief of Auto-Immune Symptoms

Welcome to Spring Into Health! A series podcasts dedicated to health, healing and auto-immune disease.

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement with Peak Medical

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is all about finding the right balance of your body’s hormones to achieve your overall best health. Rory and Amie of Peak Medical talk about BHRT, symptoms which result from hormone imbalance for men and women and treatment. They start with a simple blood test to check your hormone levels, and follow-up with a thorough, hour-long individual consultation to explain the results, discuss your health goals, and answer questions. BHRT is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Peak Medical customizes plans for each individual. They monitor your hormone levels and adjust your hormones to keep you at your optimal health.

Naltrexone’s Effect on Auto-Immune Disease and Inflammation

Naltrexone is a drug that blocks the opioid effects of drugs. The opioid effect is also known as pain relief. Naltrexone, given in doses of 50mg or 100mg, blocks opioid drugs, aka narcotic drugs, from attaching to our nervous system receptors. However, researchers have found that given in small doses, Naltrexone has huge benefits for those suffering from an auto-immune disease, specific types of cancer and IBS, among others.

How does Naltrexone Work?

Naltrexone will bind to the receptors in your body which creates inflammation. Chronic disease leads to a chronic inflammation cycle. Naltrexone binds to your opioid receptors, not allowing your body to inflame and break the inflammation cycle.

My Experience with Naltrexone

I’ve been living in pain daily, with few exceptions for the past two years. While seeing Amie and Rory at Peak Medical for weight loss and hormone balance, I relayed to Amie that my pain level had been rising the past few months and I wasn’t able to get my pain under control. She had recently been to a medical conference and heard a speaker talk about Naltrexone for symptoms of auto-immune disease and asked if I’d like to try out Naltrexone. I said yes!

Within two days of starting 1.5 mg of Naltrexone per day, almost all of my body, muscle, and joint pain were completely gone, along with my overall body stiffness. I felt that I’d been given a new body! Not only was my pain gone, but I was also able to work out better and feel better post-workout as a result of being in less pain! This drug is amazing! A friend of mine who had similar symptoms took Naltrexone and had similar results.

Starting off at 1.5mg, the Naltrexone dose is elevated over time until correct dosing is found. I’m currently at 3mg per day and started taking Naltrexone about six months ago. I love the way I feel and although I do get flare-ups, I can manage them much better.

I’d highly recommend clicking the link at the bottom of the show notes and making an appointment with Rory and Amie. They have literally changed my life for the better!

Guest Bio

Amie Clarke and Rory Swenson have numerous years of experience in the healthcare industry. Amie is a nurse practitioner with over a decade of experience and Rory’s role is the business management side and healthcare provider at Peak Medical. They met at a medical conference two years ago and decided to start Peak Medical - a bioidentical hormone replacement clinic for people who are looking to feel their best, no matter what their age.

Travel Options and Health Precautions You Can Use During COVID Pandemic

Health Precautions

Look to the CDC website for proper precautions to take to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and Coronavirus common questions and answers. Three common precautions we hear about regularly are:

  • Wash your hands for 20 seconds
  • Social distancing at least six feet apart
  • Use hand sanitizer with a minimum of 60% alcohol

You can find more precautions at the CDC website here and also learn what myths and false facts are being spread along with the disease on this page of the CDC site.

Learn about travel advice for those who must travel and the latest worldwide travel updates from the World Health Organization here on their website.

COVID Travel Options

If you are at high risk because of age or immunocompromised health, staying at home is your best bet. Always seek and take the advice of your medical practitioner when your health and safety are involved.

Are you having a bad case of cabin fever and are not in a high-risk category? You’re in luck as there are a few travel activities you can still participate in when you are healthy and not in the high-risk group.

Take a Day Trip to a National Forest or National Parks

The National Forests and National Parks are now free to go and roam! Many places inside the park are closed, however, you can still hike and enjoy the outdoors in the national forests and parks. Take a day trip to a National Park or National Forest, enjoy the outdoors, bring a picnic and spend time with your family outside. Plan your trip ahead of time to a National Park by downloading a park PDF map by looking up a National Park on the National Park website here.

National Forest Service website can be accessed here and lists currently available activities inside the parks. “The Forest Service is taking the risks presented by COVID-19 seriously and is following USDA and CDC public health guidance as we continue to offer services to the public. Visitors to our National Forests and Grasslands are urged to take the precautions recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). There are three official, government-wide sources of up-to-date information about the coronavirus: Coronavirus.gov, CDC.gov/coronavirus, and USA.gov/coronavirus.”

Utah State Parks are also open and you can visit the Utah State Park website by visiting here. Their website is keeping a page for COVID-19 updates here. “The Utah Division of Parks and Recreation takes the health and safety of our visitors and employees seriously.

Employees have been asked to clean high-traffic areas or highly-used materials regularly, as well as to not report to work should there be concerns about their health status.

We encourage everyone visiting state parks practice #ResponsibleRecreation. This means: separating yourself and honoring the social distance of others, avoiding crowded trailheads and areas; and keeping parks and facilities clean.”

Camping

Camping is always a fun adventure, no matter if there is a pandemic or not! Getting outside and sleeping outside, enjoying your campfire and camping food I believe is one of the best ways to reconnect with the outdoors. Whether you’re glamping or tent camping, this favorite outdoor American activity is sure to be fun! Make sure to call ahead to find out camping restrictions in private and publicly held camping facilities.

Scenic Car Rides with Your Family

Car rides used to be a special outing many decades ago as cars and roads became more common. Nowadays, seems like the only time we are in our cars is when we are rushing to a store or going to work. Why not take a scenic car drive around where you live or a scenic area nearby where you are? We are so busy in our normal everyday life, we don’t often take advantage of the beauty around us. Find a scenic road or byway near you by visiting the Federal Highway Administration’s Scenic Byway page here.

Family Fun Things to Do

Even when we make the best of our situation, we are still mostly indoors and stuck inside our home. Instead of vegging out on video games, try one of these at-home activities to make your day a little lighter and brighter!

Baking

Whether you have a mix or start from scratch, baking can be a fun family affair! Grab your recipe, go shopping and break out your mixer for good, old-fashioned family fun. Make cookies, cake, fresh bread or cook a family meal together. Cooking and baking is an activity that can be blended into your everyday life, not just a special occasion activity! There are many places online where you can find a wonderful recipe. Check out my website here to find out more or go to Episode 68 of the Travel Gluten Free podcast for easy recipes and gluten-free deals online!

Play Outside

Badminton, whiffle ball, soccer or basketball are great games to get your family going outside! Snowing on a weekly basis? Try building a snowman, snowshoeing around your home or on a nearby trail or have a snowball fight! There are many options for outdoor fun in a cold or warm climate.

Have a family picnic at your home or a park that is open as many parks are usually empty at this time. Remember to use social distancing and bring hand sanitizer with you for precaution!

Play Inside

Board games and card games are fun no matter how much technology we have around our house. Besides fun, these activities are a great way to connect and interact with other members of your family while enjoying time together.

Remember to Support Your Local Businesses Today!

Purchasing a gift card to a local business you frequent can mean the difference between that business getting by and shutting their doors. Many family businesses do not have the capital to fund their storefronts for prolonged periods of time when they can’t physically see customers. Purchase a gift card from them today and use the card when you can get back to their store or business! They will appreciate your patronage during these tough times.

Park City has our own gift certificate website PC Gift Cards where you can register your small business or purchase a card from a small local family-owned business in Park City!

Episode 80

Solving the Gluten-Free Puzzle with Susan Neal

Welcome to Spring Into Health! A series podcasts dedicated to health, healing and auto-immune disease.

Did You Know There are Four Types of Gluten-Related Disorders?

Susan and I chat about the four types of gluten-related disorders: celiac disease, non-celiac gluten sensitivity, wheat sensitivity, and wheat allergy. These four conditions affect about ten percent of the population, however; over half of those individuals do not realize they have this health issue because their symptoms range from gastrointestinal distress to joint pain. Individuals aren’t making the connection between diet and their body reacting negatively to wheat or gluten.

Gluten Sensitivity and Wheat Allergy

When her sister was diagnosed with nonceliac gluten-sensitivity, Susan realized how hard the gluten-free lifestyle was to adjust to from a regular diet. As a child, Susan was allergic to wheat but grew out of the allergy as a teen. When she had a health crisis eight years ago, she was tested and realized she became wheat sensitive. She was inspired to write her book Solving the Gluten Puzzle: Discover if You are Gluten Sensitive and How to Embrace the Gluten-Free Lifestyle? to help others discover if gluten might be an issue and how to transition to a gluten-free diet.

Solving the Gluten Puzzle helps readers put together your health care puzzle as there is no specific test to diagnose non-celiac gluten sensitivity nor irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Therefore, the lack of testing creates extreme difficultly to attaining a proper diagnosis. Celiac disease has increased by 400 percent in the past fifty years; scientists believe there must be external factors causing the rise in this disease.

Non-Classic Celiac Disease

Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder whereby the body attacks its own gastrointestinal system when a person ingests gluten. However, with non-classic celiac disease, an individual may not even suffer from typical GI symptoms and not be aware they have celiac disease. Anyone can develop celiac disease at any age with any combination of over 200 celiac disease symptoms. To obtain a proper diagnosis the person must be eating gluten when being tested.

Guest Bio

As a child, Susan had a wheat allergy. As an adult, she became wheat sensitive. Susan Neal is an RN with an MBA and a master’s in health science. She lives her life with a passion for helping others improve their health. She is an award-winning author, speaker, and Certified Health and Wellness Coach. Her best-selling book is 7 Steps to Get Off Sugar and Carbohydrates. Her newest release Solving the Gluten Puzzle, helps many determine if they have a gluten-related disorder. You can find Susan on SusanUNeal.com.

Travel Gluten Free gives you valuable information from finding a safe restaurant to knowing what food is safe to eat when you travel.

Episode 79

Auto-Immune Disease, Leaky Gut and Digestive Health with Jenny Finke

Welcome to Spring Into Health! The first of a series of four podcasts dedicated to health, healing and auto-immune disease.

Why Digestive Health is So Important?

In this episode, Jenny and I are diving into how to heal your gut, especially when you have a leaky gut. While leaky gut does not have a test on its own, there are several factors that can lead to leaky gut.

First, you need to have an auto-immune gene that triggers an auto-immune condition. Secondly, you could have a biome imbalance in your gut. Third, a poor diet or a diet high in gluten can assist in triggering a leaky gut.

What is Leaky Gut?

Leaky gut is the condition of your gut lining that has extensive tiny permeations. These permeations, or holes in your gut lining, allowing food to travel from your gut into your bloodstream. Uneaten tiny food particles are seen as invaders in your bloodstream and your body will attempt to get rid of these tiny pieces of food, thus causing inflammation in your body. Unless healed, your food will continue to leak out into your gut, which can cause immune system issues.

The inflammation in your digestive tract caused by leaky gut can result in food intolerances and click an auto-immune gene to “on” even if you’ve never had the disease in your life previously.

She also refers to the work of Dr. Tom O’Bryan and his research on autoimmune disease. He’s found that auto-immune diseases will impact you at your weakest link in our chain. Wherever your weakest link, joints, stomach, skin or bones, is where you will see symptoms. This is the main reason auto-immune disorders are hard to diagnose as they show up with different symptoms depending on the individual.

We also chat about resting your gut and why giving your gut a break is extremely important when you are healing your gut. “Think about celiac disease as breaking your digestive system. It now needs to rest and recover.”

Gluten-Free Paris

We talk about our experience in Paris and the two dedicated gluten-free establishments we found: Helmut Nutcake and Little Nona’s. These are two places in France you can safely eat gluten-free! Jenny tells of her love of Israel on her visit, but how the tour food was less than OK. Read about her story here in her blog “The emotional burden of being gluten-free”. She also chats about her insanely amazing pie crust recipe, her grain-free cassava tortilla recipe, and her Denver Blogger’s Conference.

Listen in to find out the advantages of juicing for nutrient uptake, why you should limit sugar and Jenny’s Take the Seven Day Heal Your Gut Challenge. Learn how you can disrupt the balance of your intestinal permeability, why you should rest your gut in between meals and why you should be cautious of drinking wheatgrass juice.

With Travel Gluten Free Podcast, 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.

Fun things to do in London

Fun and Fabulous Things to Do in London

London is such a fabulous place! You’ll find a myriad of extraordinary events, museums, historical places to visit and fun activities to do. Whether you enjoy walks along the river or experiencing the world’s largest Ferris wheel, London will give you the travel adventure of your lifetime. Besides the numerous travel adventures you explore, you’ll find an almost seemingly endless array of gluten-free friendly and dedicated gluten-free restaurants. Check out Episode 77 to find out more about London’s delicious gluten-free fare!

Stonehenge

Built over 1000 years ago, archaeologists and anthropologists are finding out more about Stonehenge through scientific studies. A must-see if you visit London, Stonehenge is a short walk from the interactive museum, where you can purchase a fair-trade sheep hat for 25 pounds!

Salisbury Cathedral

Right outside of London, you can visit the home of the Magna Carta from 1216. Salisbury Cathedral, with its flying buttress medieval style architecture, will astound and amaze cathedral goers. Check out the Salisbury Cathedral by visiting Salisbury SP1 2EJ, United Kingdom.

The Shard

Modern buildings are usually tall, rectangular edifices towering high into the sky. While The Shard is the latter, the design of this building will blow your mind! Towering up hundreds of feet into the air, The Shard looks like a giant dropped large shards of glass into the ground, to where they stuck, leaving their pointy edges skyward. View The Shard from any location in downtown London or visit at 32 London Bridge St, London SE1 9SG, United Kingdom.

Tate Modern Museum of Art

Episode 77

Gluten Free London

Traveling to London? You’re in luck! Episode 77 is targeted toward gluten-free food in London! Listen in to find out how you can find gluten-free food in London, what restaurants I loved to eat at and the European Allergen Codex and how you can use this allergen codex while you are traveling in Europe. Find fabulous places to eat and a new trick I learned on how to find gluten-free places to eat when you’re traveling abroad.

If you’re interested in fun gluten-free food, London, England is the place you want to visit! You’re bound to find gluten-free in many food ethnicities when perusing London restaurants. Like fried food? No worries! London is teeming with food establishments that have dedicated fryers. I’ve eaten more than my fair share of fried food while in London, and I believe you will too!

Want to eat a delicious gluten-free dessert from a dedicated gluten-free bakery? You’ll find many dedicated bakeries, so eat pastries, doughnuts, and croissants to your heart’s content - and remember to leave space in your luggage to bring home goodies you’ve acquired from London!

European Allergen Codex

European Allergen Codex is a system in which you can easily see what allergens are in different foods in restaurants. When you use this system, remember that they list the opposite of the US - where we show what foods you CAN eat, the European Allergen Codex shows which allergens are in the food. For example, if you see the letter “G” next to a food, that food contains gluten and is NOT gluten-free.

This Codex is the same system across the countries in Europe which I have traveled, which is nice to worry about one less thing when you are eating while traveling. If the restaurant doesn’t have the Codex Allergen list on their menu, as the maitre’d if they have an allergen menu as they may have a few copies of a special menu which labels allergens. Many restaurants I ate at in Europe were very accomodating and went out of their way to serve safe food.i

Better Quality Food in London and Europe

With the exception of the plane ride, I’m always excited about traveling to and in Europe, especially when I think about the amazing food I’m going to eat. The quality of food is much better, as many foods are locally sourced and fresh. Europe does not use GMO and modified foods on the scale as we do in the US and factory farming isn’t their mainstay for raising food. Because of these factors, the food in Europe tastes better, and has less of the chemicals and hormones which we have in our food.

I’ve heard from other Celiacs that they can eat the dairy in Europe, but not the US. I have experienced the same. While I can eat imported dairy without issue, American dairy poses many digestive issues for my system.

Vegetarian and Vegan Options in London

My daughter Aliyah is Celiac and vegetarian, which offers yet another level or two of complexity when we eat out. In London, however, there are quite a few options for those who are both gluten-free and vegetarian or vegan. I’ve even come across vegetarian restaurants who offer many gluten-free options on their menu! There are many vegetarian and vegan options in general in London. Additionally, many restaurants also offer dairy-free!

Gluten-Free Friendly Restaurants in London

My favorite restaurant in London, by far, was Honest Burgers. Located at 9 festival terrace, South Bank, London. They have dedicated gluten-free fryers, onion rings, burgers, can eat all fried foods. They also have gluten-free brews, incredible to eat burger, onion rings and brew together

Gourmet Burger Kitchen is a chain restaurant with about half a dozen locations in London. GF bread, buns, dessert and gf menu. Lunch, vegetarian-friendly and takeout are offered.

Wagamama which Jenny from GFYGF and I talked about in episode 72 is a chain that is safe for celiacs. They have a gluten-free menu, dedicated kitchen space, and amazing smoothies!

Cotto Italian Restaurant Pizzeria at 89 Westminster Bridge has a dedicated kitchen space, features Italian food has gf bread, beer, appetizers, pasta, pizza, dessert and is dairy-free friendly.

Leadbelly’s Bar and Kitchen at Montreal House market Square has a dedicated fryer and waffles, bread, fish and chips, spicy meatballs tons of gf df options.

Mango Tree, 76 Grosvenor Place, Belgravia, London amazing Thai food and many gf options. Vegetarian, late night, lunch. Look for pics on IG! Great atmosphere, excellent service. People rated this pricey, but for the food you get, I didn’t think this was a pricey option.

Dishoom is Indian fair, vegetarian and celiac-friendly. Dairy-free, vegan and Late-night Indian restaurant. Three locations in London and is great for burgers.

Tower Tandoori Indian, vegetarian and celiac-friendly. Best Indian food I’ve ever eaten. 74-76 Bridge Rd., Bermondsey is the perfect place for gluten-free and vegan or vegetarian.

Mattarello Restaurant, 3 Middlesex London. Italian, celiac friendly, gluten-free pasta and dessert.

Get ready to find out what it’s like to travel in an egg, yes, an egg! Kaye from EggZotic Tiny Trailers is my guest today. I interview Kaye about her and her husband’s new creation the EggZotic Tiny Trailer.

I met Kaye and Bill Duerksen at the Florida Tiny House Festival, the largest tiny house festival in the world! Their trailer is one-of-a-kind and immediately piqued my interest. In this interview, I talk to Kaye about her three-week inaugural trip through the United States in their EggZotic, advice for traveling and living tiny and when Kaye and Bill decided to stop camping and start traveling tiny.

The idea for the EggZotic came about after packing up wet muddy camping gear at the end of an otherwise enjoyable camping trip with their granddaughter. The EggZotic design marries minimalism and luxury for the perfect tiny trailer camping experience.

We dive into camping in National Forests, what is a must-have for traveling tiny and why the EggZotic is great for anyone (even if you’re claustrophobic!).

Episode #71

Add Carla Boyd's Hempway Burgers to Your Gluten-Free Plant Based Diet

I'm excited to feature Carla Boyd. Carla struggled personally with various food intolerances and allergies including corn, gluten, dairy and soy. She discovered that eating hemp-based food assisted her on the road to sustainable health. This discovery inspired the creation of Hemp Way Foods in 2014 and now fuels the company's visionary food product line.

My guest Carla is a native of Mississippi and creating dressing for Thanksgiving, a graduate of the University of North Texas, entrepreneur, educator, and advocate within the cannabis and hemp industries. Her involvement began in early 2009, serving on the board of the Mile High Denver NORML chapter until 2012. During this time, she also worked with several dispensaries as marketing, sales, and events coordinator consultant for Hemp Cleans, a statewide Colorado educational campaign.

Hemp Way is a hemp-based food production company where she continues as President and Chief Operations Manager. Hemp Way Foods education is shared alongside brand awareness and is a central focus of the business's outreach. In 2015, her company received "Best Hemp Product/Facility "by the Cannabis Business Awards. She again won in 2016 for "Best Colorado Hemp Food" by the Industrial Hemp Awards. Additionally, Carla was recently a back-to-back winner at the 2018 and 2019 Grow Hemp Colorado Indo Expo Events like the "Best Hemp Food Company."

Her recent highlights include an appointment to the Leadership Counsel for the National Small Business Association. Hemp Way Foods has been featured in various regional publications, most notably the Denver Post and Hemp Connoisseur Magazine, making the Hemp Connoisseur's Spring 2018 "100 People You Should Know". Carla is an advocate for Hemp (if you haven't noticed…), and her goal is to speak at more local and national events to share her message of Hemp, nutrition, and sustainable food development. Contact Carla to speak at your next event at info@hempwayfoods.com.

In this episode, we chat about how Carla developed Hempway into a business (even though this was NEVER her intention), her early days asking friends to assist her in cutting and packaging each individual package and the best gluten-free Thai food she has had in her life at Thai Bloom in Portland, Oregon.

Seven Tips for Gluten Free 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! 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!

A big shout out to my new friends I met today at Basin Recreation Fitness Festival! So nice to meet everyone. Another shoutout to my friend Kathryn Blanken of Flowers By You. Give her a call if you’re in Park City or Salt Lake City and you’re looking for gorgeous flowers or want to attend one of her fun floral workshops!

In this episode, we are going to dive into seven tips to create a safer and more enjoyable travel experience when you are gluten-free. To find out more tips, download my free e-book on my website at Travel Gluten Free Podcast!

Tip #1

Use Apps to find GF Restaurants

There are now two apps available for finding gluten-free and celiac-friendly restaurants. One is the Find Me Gluten Free App, which gives a list of restaurants in the area which serve gluten-free options. Another app to use to find great dedicated gluten-free restaurants is 100% Gluten Free from For Gluten Sake! This app features ONLY dedicated gluten-free restaurants that do not have any gluten on their premises. This is the safest restaurant to eat at if you have an allergy to wheat, an allergy to gluten, or have celiacs disease. If you’re traveling to Philadelphia, Gluten-Free Philly now has an app that lists restaurants in Philadelphia and the surrounding area.

Tip #2

Ask for a Gluten Free Menu

Many places now have a menu in which their food is either labeled showing their GF options or they have a separate menu, which lists all their gluten-free offerings so you can easily see what options you have to eat.

Tip #3

Tell your server gluten makes you sick.

More and more people are trying a gluten-free diet, and they may not get sick when eating gluten. I explain to my server every time that I get very ill from eating gluten, and that eating gluten is not a choice for me. If I think they don’t understand, I tell them I have a gluten allergy.

Tip #4

Find out from your server which dishes can be made gluten-free

If your server can quickly name gluten-free recipes, then they were most likely very well trained and informed. This is a considerable safety measure for a restaurant. When your server hesitates or says, “I’m pretty sure that is gluten-free,” ask them to check with the chef and restate the importance of your sickness (see #3 above).

Tip #5

BYOS: Bring Your Own Snacks

When I’m not sure if the place or city I’m going is gluten-free friendly or I’ve heard it’s not GF friendly, I’ll pack food in my backpack to eat at the restaurant or while I’m out and about enjoying a park or other quiet spot.

Tip #6

Find a Place to Stay with a Kitchen and Shop at Supermarkets

If you’re going to stay at a hotel, Air b’n’b or motel, stop at a supermarket and get gluten-free food. Research ahead of time to find out what types of supermarkets are in the area to get a feel for the variety of food you can eat.

Tip #7

Find a Produce Stand

Produce stands are always an excellent option to grab a natural and healthy gluten-free snack if you’re out and hungry. You’ll also most likely support a local family, so it’s a double win!

How to Find a Gluten-Free Restaurant for New Year’s Eve

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, we are going to dive into tools you can use to find amazing gluten-free friendly and dedicated gluten-free restaurants to eat at on New Year’s Eve. If you're new to the gluten-free scene or you've been gluten-free for a while, you can still have a hard time finding a great restaurant. Whether you are a foodie or not, looking for a restaurant at home or on vacation, getting a good gluten-free meal at a nice restaurant can be daunting.

There are several tools you can use when you want to find a great restaurant for you and your family and friends! Filter for the price, type of food and ambiance. Learn how to cross-check your choice of restaurant, find out the difference between a gluten-free friendly restaurant and a dedicated gluten-free restaurant. Additionally, listen in to find out which three questions to ask when calling a restaurant to find out if they are safe for celiacs.

Opentable

One of the resources I love to use is OpenTable. OpenTable is a reservation site and I use this resource because it’s easy to filter and find restaurants and reserve online instantly. You can use OpenTable's online website or their mobile app to book a table. Your account setup is free. Find restaurants and make reservations through OpenTable and receive points when you dine at that restaurant using a reservation from OpenTable. When you reach a certain level of points you will receive rewards through OpenTable.

Find Me Gluten Free App

Find Me Gluten Free is available online and as a mobile app. Look for gluten-free friendly, dedicated gluten-free restaurants, places to eat with dedicated fryers. Find different gluten-free features and offerings such as gluten-free bread, gluten-free desserts, late-night, a local chain, vegan-friendly, vegetarian-friendly.

100% Gluten Free App

Carrie from For Gluten Sake has celiac disease and has created an app that features restaurants that are dedicated gluten-free. All restaurants on her app do not have gluten on the premises. This list is smaller than Find Me Gluten Free app, however; these restaurants are safer since they don’t have gluten on site. She has the largest list of 100% gluten-free spots around the world on her app.

Gluten-Free Philly

Find great eats in Philadelphia and the surrounding area with Michael’s Gluten-Free Philly app. In addition to his app, you can search online for the latest and greatest gluten-free restaurants in Philadelphia.

Trip Advisor

Another way you can 'Find' restaurants is at Tripadvisor. Setup a free account and use this resource to find restaurants in your neighborhood or when you are traveling. Usually, we think of Tripadvisor only when we're traveling. I also like to find fun things to do when I'm going on vacation or at home. Look up restaurants in the town you are eating in and browse by food, community picks, gluten-free and vegan.

The Celiac Scene (Canada)

If you are vacationing or live in Victoria, the surrounding area around Victoria, Vancouver or the islands of Canada, you must check out The Celiac Scene. Ellen Baynes started the gluten-free restaurant scene in Victoria and she maintains a list of restaurants that are safe to eat at if you are celiac.

Gluten-Free Travel, Toronto gluten-free eats and the CCA with Tarryn Skuy

Welcome to the Travel Gluten Free Podcast, where you, my friend, listen in on how to lead a gluten-free lifestyle with more fun and ease!

This is Elikqitie and I founded Travel Gluten Free for you! I want to be a resource, contributor and support to you on your gluten-free journey!

My guest today was diagnosed with Celiac Disease almost 10 years ago, about 2 years before heading off to university. In university she ended up was being assigned to live on campus with another Celiac. Her college roommate was diagnosed before turning 2 years old, so she taught her a lot of what she knows about Celiac Disease today!

Her brand, My Celiac Life (https://www.instagram.com/myceliaclife/), has the largest following for a Celiac account on Instagram and she is continually being recognized for her hard work: she is this year’s recipient of the Notable’s Food Influencer of the Year (http://www.notableawards.com/)award. Tarryn is making a huge difference in the lives of those with celiac disease, providing gluten-free resources within the community.

My chat with Tarryn, we talk about the biggest challenge she has found while traveling gluten-free, her favorite Toronto restaurants and places she recommends for anyone visiting Toronto for the first time.

If you haven't been to Canada, or are planning to go soon, this is a great episode for you! It's packed full of Canadian gluten-free suggestions and resources for visitors to Canada.

When she heard that, her response was, "Wait for me!".

Starting their journey from a dinner date to traveling around the world for a year together, to eventually getting married, Alexandra shares here experiences with world travel, how to plan, what to bring and what to do when you don't speak the language!

Alexandra barely knew David when they had their first dinner date together. She and David understood they had an attraction to each other which was special, to say the least.

Little did they know, their first dinner date started a journey which would lead them to quit their jobs and take a one year trip around the world which would change both of their lives forever!
