Welcome back to the blog! This week is dedicated to the struggle of eating gluten-free while on vacation.
Recently, I went on vacation with my family and I thought I was going to starve. Of course, I brought tons and tons of food, but when I wasn’t in the hotel room, it was so hard to find anything for me to eat.
Some essentials I bring when leaving for a short vacation are bread and bagels (from Trader Joe’s, obviously) and a dedicated gluten free toaster for them. I also brought gluten free beef jerky from Trader Joe’s and some dried fruit. The basics.
Still, I’m not a pack mule and couldn’t bring every single thing with me, either from home or out of the hotel room. So, it was rough.
My bit of advice for those in similar situations is to simplify your meals, like a sandwich for lunch that can be made with gluten free bread or a wrap. You might also want to consider meals as multiple snacks while on vacation, like carrots and peanut butter, then some toast, or little things you have on hand until you’re full.

Hi my name is Nicole. I am a teenager dealing with a gluten allergy and I’ve been gluten free for about 3 years. I got so stressed out trying to navigate a gluten free diet without any help, so I wanted to be that influence in someone’s life, so I started a blog! I hope to share tips, as well as recipes to help others.
