Gluten Free Travel Guide
These days, gluten free travel with kids can be done pretty easily, even international travel. Of course, as with everything in life, there are always challenges. But hopefully our experience will give you the confidence to get on the road and easily manage those hiccups.
We haven’t always needed to be gluten free. Until 2015 we were a “regular” travelling family. We were able to enjoy street food and pokey out of the way cafes like everyone else. Now that three out of four of us are diagnosed Coeliacs we have had to upgrade our venues slightly. That is not to say that all street food is off limits. There will always be somewhere you can eat but we do follow the theme of “when in doubt, go without”.
When travelling with kids thought, hungry can turn into hangry FAST so some preparation is require. Having experienced hangry first hand, we are never caught out-and-about without food.
We never leave home without a snack. Ever! Our youngest can turn very feral when hangry and it is not a fun experience when out in a public space. When flying or going on longer train journeys, I carry an entire carry-on suitcase filled with food. As well as snacks for the journey, this bag will often include gluten free pasta and a bag of gluten free all purpose flour. Just-in-case.
