I was just diagnosed with Celiac, now concerned about traveling and ensuring there are foods I can eat. We are looking at going to Mexico in the fall, have been many times but looking to see if anyone has recommendations of great resorts that had lots of options for gluten free.

What my daughter did is we found a card online she got printed and laminated in Spanish explaining that she has celiac and can’t have anything with gluten. And she also brought along a lot of GF snacks to eat. Also, most buffets are pretty good with fruit and veggies separate for eating. She mostly ate eggs (omelet’s) for breakfast and watched them cook it I front of her.
Same with her meats in the evening.
But, be careful of rice. At a resort in Cuba, she kept getting sick until she figured out that they were cooking the rice in water they cooked pasta in.

Liz this is how I manage in Mexico with celiac. Not perfect but mostly ok. I cannot eat rice or potatoes either and I still find lots to eat at the nicer resorts.

Mexican food. Is your friend as they use a lot of corn rather than wheat.

Just eat fresh
Nothing in box or can
You’ll be fine in Mexico

I've been GF for 10 years. It's challenging with travel but definitely doable. You'll get to know the foods you can safely eat. Agree that Mexican food will give lots of options. Watch out for meats that have sauces or toppings that might have gluten, or burgers with bread crumbs.

This website is a great resource. But like others mentioned Mexico is pretty good for gf food. I would say resorts aren’t as good as restaurants in the cities (this is just my experience) as the resorts are more focused on quantity of food and there will be a higher chance of cross contamination

My 18yo was diagnosed last fall. We booked an all inclusive to Barceló Maya (where we’ve stayed multiple times) and they were fantastic! Upon arrival you go to guest services and they print out a paper for you saying GF and no cross-contamination. She basically had her own food service the entire week. She just showed the paper each time we entered and a server cam over to ask what she’d like and they made to order. Took a bit longer than just the usual self-serve buffet, but her food was hot, fresh, delicious and most importantly, SAFE

Gluten free is easier in Mexico . Tortillas are corn . Beans . Chicken beef vegetables. Stay clear of the American chain restaurants

Try El Dorado Seaside Suites. I know they’ve been great for my cousin who has Celiac disease. https://www.karismahotels.com/el-dorado.../seaside-suites...

Grand Palladium Colonial has food options, they apparently ask if any allergies on check in

There’s an awesome group called celiac travel. I highly recommend joining!

Barcelo chains usually are pretty well trained. Usually even GF muffins and buns. Also had success with the Hilton chain.
The a la Carte’s rather than the buffets will be your friend at a resort. But can always find the basics..potatoes or plain rice, a carving station and salad bar or veggies. Mexican food is pretty good but some meats will be marinated and that is the unknown.
The late night cravings are more challenging..
I usually pack some granola/protein bars, GF crackers just to be safe.
Have a great trip!

Ocean riviera paradise - my daughter is celiac and we’ve been 4x. Never an issue. LOTS of choices! Even the buffet - they will make a special meal just for you gf.

The Celiac travel group is great as people write reviews of all inclusives around the world and rate them for being Celiac friendly. Have traveled lots and I am Celiac, feel free to pm me.
