In June of 2011 my husband and then 5 year old son were diagnosed with Celiac Disease. Their diagnosis has been life altering for our family of 5. This blog is dedicated to raising awareness and education about Celiac Disease. I also aim to provide information for families and educators, gluten-free product reviews, helpful hints, gluten-free family friendly recipes and personal stories from our gluten-free life.

"Emergency" Snacks for Mexico
Our family of 5 is thrilled to be heading to Mexico tomorrow for a week! We are staying at an all-inclusive upscale resort with several restaurants on the property. I am hoping and assuming that most foods will be fresh, local fruits, veggies, fish and rice. However, when we venture off property for day-long excursions, I'm worried about accessibility to gluten-free foods. We don't speak Spanish so, I'm also a bit concerned about translations issues regarding gluten. Therefore, we are bringing a huge bag full of pistachios, a gf trail mix, dry roasted edamame, a variety of gf bars, fruit pouches and my favorite Justin's nut butters. Hopefully these provisions will be enough to get my 2 favorite gf guys through a week of snorkeling, cenote exploring, pyramid climbing and zip-lining through Mexico! I'll be off the grid for the week, taking lots of notes about gluten-free dining in Mexico. I'll fill you in with lots of details when we return.
