My cousin is a celiac. In the UK you get special food on prescription and all sorts of goodies. There's even celiac-friendly beer (but I don't think you can get that on 'script)!

Good luck in finding a viable solution as you travel.

That sucks, man. I hope you feel better. It's an easy ailment to deal with if you're cooking for yourself, I can't imagine trying to manager your diet while “on the road.”

I don't know if you saw my twitter post to you, but I found a list of Gluten-free beers from around the world. It may not be the best list out there, but it's a start.

Of these I've only had Redbridge and New Grist Ale. The former was average (it's made by Anheuser-Busch); the latter is quite tasty (tried it at a Whole Foods chili cookoff and it's great both by itself and paired with chili).

Mouse made the point that I was going to make. It is more likely that you have a wheat allergy than full blown celiacs disease, but the end result is much the same. Going gluten free is seriously difficult at the best of times. So while traveling is going to be interesting. I have a gluten intolerance of some sort also, and I found it impossible to wrap my mind around going totally gluten free. But I did get a good amount of success by just learning where gluten is found and one by one swapping those foods out for others. You won't find them all, but a big reduction is totally possible.

YOu may also just have a bad wheat allergy. Gary, one plus side to this is that you will lose the weight that you mentioned was bothering you. I hope you feel better soon! Now I am off to vote.

One of my friends is gluten intolerant. I found a good website that has
warning cards for waiters and restaurants in a bunch of languages.
Might make your trip easier, if you can figure out where to get them sent
so they meet up with you

Shame about your diet because you'll miss on some of the great food of the countries you'll visit. But much more important to stay healthy to keep your trip going.

Hope you feel better soon! Can't be easy avoiding wheat while traveling, good thing rice and potatoes are staples in the Mid East. There are some interesting rice dishes in Italy though, risotto, etc.

There's soooo much to see in Luxor. I spent 8 days there. If you want to see extra tombs at the Valley of the Kings...just buy another ticket (good for three tombs). That's what I did and it was worth it.

Good luck in the LP Awards! I voted btw. ;)
