Gluten free gift ideas

If your loved one has coeliac disease or gluten intolerance and therefore must follow a strict gluten free diet, travel will need to be planned that little bit extra – with the rewarding result of a perfect trip!

The main thing is to make sure that there will be gluten free food available, so they can concentrate on enjoying the journey and not worry about what will be on the next menu. For example, if you are on a long-haul flight, you can check in advance with the airline about gluten free alternative in-cabin meals. If your journey is shorter or by land, you can pack plenty of gluten free snacks to tide you over if there are few handy options. 

Some hotels will have gluten free options available, so it is a good idea to check before booking accommodation. Travel guides for different destinations written with gluten free tourism in mind can save you a lot of legwork investigating the best places to eat and visit.

A hotel can be the most relaxing kind of accommodation when we just want to be taken care of and pampered, and it’s easiest if any concerns about gluten free meals are resolved beforehand. If you do your research and find a gluten free hotel, you can plan and enjoy your holiday time with absolute peace of mind.

The ultimate all-included travel option has to be a cruise, so it’s vital to do your homework when picking a route. Fortunately, many cruise companies do offer gluten free on-board catering, so look out for the opportunity to register this and any other dietary requirements when booking, and call to check if in doubt.

A few tasty Schär gluten free snacks might also be very handy for moments between meals, while in transit, or if a visit to a port provides a momentary challenge as regards sourcing a safe food option. Enjoy your gluten free cruising!   

Show you care and at the same time learn about gluten free shopping by preparing a gluten free basket full of delicious treats for that special person. They will surely appreciate the effort made to understand their dietary needs.

Some of your basket items are quite simple to get right: fruit, for example, is naturally gluten free – as long as it is not in a processed form, in which case you must always check the label. Many sweets and chocolate are often also good to go, but, as with all complex, processed food, ingredients need to be examined.

Get started on making your list for a gift basket by reading this shopping guide to help you learn the basic tricks of sourcing gluten free products.
