Celiac-Safe & Gluten-Free Travel, Made Simple.

Because I know what's at stake.
Traveling with celiac disease can feel overwhelming — but it doesn’t have to be. As a board-certified Nurse Practitioner who lives with celiac disease and is a mom of a young child with celiac, I understand the complexities of finding food I trust on the road.
When my 10-year-old was diagnosed last year, the stakes got personal in a new way. I started Celiac Safe Travel so other families wouldn’t have to guess.
"Every recommendation here is built with safety in mind — because I know what's at stake."

Gluten-free travel guides drawn from personal dining experience — restaurants I’ve personally researched, dedicated kitchens, and local spots where I felt comfortable eating during my own trips.
Maui, Hawaii
A personal gluten-free guide to Maui — the dishes we ordered, the dedicated kitchens we trusted, and what I learned feeding two celiacs on one island.
Disney
Sharing my personal experience navigating Disney with celiac. The chefs I spoke with, the menus I leaned on, and what I learned about planning park days around meals so the trip stayed magical for everyone.
Bar Harbor & Acadia, Maine
A personal gluten-free guide to Bar Harbor and Acadia — the dedicated fryers we found, the hotel breakfast with its own allergen binder, and what I learned feeding two celiacs on the coast of Maine.
Aruba
Sharing where I ate during our Aruba trips and how I approached dining as a celiac traveler. From the resort to the boardwalk — the dishes I ordered, the menus I asked about, and what I noticed about kitchens along the way.
Celiac Restaurant Cards & Country Guides
More than a translation card. Each download pairs a detailed gluten-free restaurant card — written in the local language — with a 1–2 page country guide that goes beyond the table: hidden gluten in regional dishes, the local celiac certification to ask for, and cross-contact risks specific to that cuisine. Pull it up on your phone or print it. Spend less time explaining and more time enjoying your trip.
- Created by a board-certified Nurse Practitioner who also lives with celiac
- A restaurant card in the local language, plus a 1–2 page country travel guide
- Flags hidden gluten in local dishes and explains the real certification picture — and where none exists, does the explaining for you
- Instant PDF — use it on your phone (even offline) or print it before you go
- Available for 32 countries and languages, individually or as a bundle
A communication aid only. These cards do not guarantee a safe meal and do not replace direct conversation with restaurant staff or your own judgment about what to eat. Always confirm preparation practices with the establishment.
