Welcome to our adventure! I’m the diagnosed celiac, though getting that diagnosis was a whole journey in itself that I will share on another page. Like many others with celiac disease, my symptoms are varied in both nature and severity. So, I know how frustrating it is both to have limited options, and even worse to get glutened when you think you’ve been safe.
I have always loved to travel, and I refuse to let celiac disease get in the way of it. Sometimes gluten-free food options are so very limited in places we venture to, but we still figure it out and keep journeying. Yes, that’s because I have to unless I want to end up sick for days. But all of you wonderful friends out there will reap the benefits of the tricks of travel information we have gathered along the way.

Hey there, I’m the not-quite-diagnosed, possibly-celiac-but-definitely-sensitive half of GFTravellers. Think of me as your gluten-aware scout, husband to a wonderful (and highly reactive celiac) wife, and dad to a crew where reactive gluten genes run strong.
We travel a lot — sometimes together, sometimes solo and let’s just say I’m much better disciplined when Christine is around. Translation: I read every label, quiz the waitstaff, and channel my inner food detective. Alone? I still try… but I’ve have to do better.
This blog is my way of sharing the good, the bad, and the surprisingly tasty discoveries along the way. I’m here for the fellow travelers who want to eat safely, laugh a little, and feel less alone navigating the gluten-free maze on the road.
Stick around. I promise useful tips, honest reviews, and the occasional dad joke. Because if we can’t laugh at a gluten-free pizza emergency, what are we even doing?
