8 Essential Celiac Travel Tips

Battle-tested strategies from celiacs who travel the world.

1

Learn key phrases

"I have celiac disease" and "no wheat" in the local language are your two most important phrases.

2

Carry a celiac card

A printed card in the local language explaining celiac disease is more reliable than verbal communication.

3

Pack emergency snacks

Bring GF protein bars, nuts, and dried fruit for when you can't find safe food.

4

Book accommodation with a kitchen

Airbnbs with kitchen access let you cook when restaurants are risky.

5

Research restaurants before you go

Find GF-friendly restaurants at your destination before you arrive. Save them on Google Maps.

6

Bring tamari packets

In Asia especially, soy sauce is everywhere. Carrying your own GF tamari eliminates the biggest risk.

7

Use Check Gluten abroad

Our AI reads ingredient labels in any language. Scan unfamiliar products with your camera โ€” it works worldwide.

8

Contact your airline

Most airlines offer GF meals with 48-hour advance notice. Always bring backup snacks anyway.
