girls gone gluten-free

While guidelines and regulations vary by country when flying each airline also has differing policies on what you can board with as carryons. You are allowed a medical bag with food for gluten-free; however, ensure it’s truly what you say it is and my best suggestion is that it’s clearly marked.

Gluten-free Essentials for Air Travel

For weight I opt for a smaller coffee cup over a large water bottle to lug around. Bringing your own (delicious) coffee is a game-changer and opt for microwave popcorn so you can prep at your hotel or in a pinch in the airport if you find yourself stuck. Bringing noodle cups or macaroni or mashed potatoes is easy- simply ask for hot water on the plane. It’s so frustrating when you board a 9 hour flight and discover the catering is insufficient and there’s no gluten-free meal for you. Bring your first aid so you have it nearby and available.

Happy traveling!
