Whether you are gluten intolerant or not, consuming gluten can lead to inflammation in your body, leaving you feeling less than your best. But fear not, friend! In this episode, we explore how you can successfully maintain a gluten-free lifestyle while traveling, allowing you to indulge in your adventures without sacrificing your health.
Let’s dig in with my favorite tips (that have worked!)
Researching Your Destination:
Before embarking on your trip, it's crucial to conduct a little research. Start by familiarizing yourself with the language spoken in the country you are visiting. Knowing how to say "no gluten, please" in the local language can be immensely helpful when communicating with chefs and restaurant staff.
Where You Are Staying:
Additionally, consider the accommodations where you will be staying. Vacation rentals, such as Airbnb, often provide kitchen facilities, allowing you more control over your meals.
Snacks and Supplementation:
To ensure you have gluten-free options readily available, pack a variety of travel-friendly snacks. I typically pack two to three hard-boiled eggs that I'll peel ahead of time, and put in little baggies and they make excellent, easy snacks.
Baby carrots, gluten-free crackers, and gluten-free pretzels can keep you satiated between meals. You can also consider packing meat sticks and Resist protein bars, which are not only delicious but also gluten-free and offer a nutritional boost.
You'll get a special discount if you go to my store and grab them there.
Supplementation can be beneficial while traveling. Digestive enzymes can help break down foods, aiding digestion when your body might be under stress due to a change in diet. Magnesium supplements can support healthy bowel movements and promote better sleep.
Communicate ahead of time with your airline, reach out to local restaurants, and embrace the local cuisine!
To wrap it up:
By conducting some research, planning ahead, and communicating your dietary needs, you can enjoy your journey while nourishing your body. Remember, you deserve to prioritize your health, even when you're away from home. So pack those gluten-free snacks, embrace the local cuisine, and embark on your next adventure with confidence and vitality!
Bon voyage!
