United States

The United States is a huge country with a large population meaning that there are thousands of celiacs who require gluten free food. What and where do the gluten free of America feast? I’ve done a lot of travelling throughout the US and I’m now based in San Francisco. The lack of gluten free labelling legislation here makes it challenging but there are still many safe options to be found. This section features gluten free products and celiac friendly places I’ve come across that celiacs can hope to find here in the States.

Gluten free chips

Frito Lay make a whole lot of chips in the United States. Lay’s! Ruffles! Tostitos! Fritos! Cheetos! Doritos! and many more. The great thing about these chips is that you can find them pretty much anywhere in the US so if we know which of these chips are gluten free then we can always find a safe bag of chips no matter where in the country we are. This is important information for any gluten free traveller.

So which of these chips are gluten free and safe for celiacs? (more…)

Extremely tasty gluten free lasagna!

On our gluten free Southern California road trip this Spring we spent a couple of days in Orange County. We had fun times  exploring the area with our friends who live in Newport Beach. I thought it would be easier to find celiac friendly places to eat down here than it was but I did find some. Newport Beach itself has True Food Kitchen but as we had eaten here the night before in Santa Monica we wanted to try something new. (more…)

Gluten Free Chile Fried Catfish!

Awe-some!



Portland is a lovely city full of friendly locals and lots and lots of bikes. I spend a couple of days there last summer on the way back to San Francisco after getting married in Iowa. Portland is a fantastic city for gluten free travellers. There are so many eating out options that no celiac headed to Portland will need to worry about finding something safe and delicious to eat. Through research I did before arriving in Portland, recommendations from friends who live in the city and simply walking past and being excited by gluten free menus I found a whole bunch of gluten free breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert places in the city. Thank you Portland, Gluten Free Traveller was very impressed with your selection. (more…)
