Celiac Disease

Hi, we're traveling to Zihuatanejo and looking for safe restaurants to eat at and help with shopping in the grocery stores.Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I find restaurants will happily try to accommodate gluten free and have some understanding of Celiac. A suggestion here would be that you print the Spanish ‘I have Celiac Disease’ restaurant card from the internet and show to the servers and kitchen wherever possible. Mine are laminated as I get messy when I enjoy my garlic shrimp and GF pasta bolognese.

When shopping at the Mega Soriana there are many gluten free choices in the regular aisles, deli meats and bacon, cheeses, dairy, a special section near the deli. From cereals to sauces and some frozen bread. Here I suggest you transcribe to Spanish a list of what you might look for there. You can also go online and have a look. If you don’t use regular dairy there are some types of other milks, yogurt and cheese.

My phone also has a translation app I hold on Spanish product labels to check ingredients. Saludos!
