Does Zihuatanejo have gluten free breads, cereals and pastas in the stores and/or restaurants these days. If so, where can they be found? Can a traveler bring them into the country with them?

My wife is celiac so we deal with this all the time. Generally speaking the typical Mexican diet is mostly gluten free. Lately however we are seeing more wheat tortillas which are sometimes hard to distinguish from corn tortillas. In our experience it is difficult to find gluten free prepared foods in the super markets here. We bring a loaf of frozen rice bread and some pasta and she is good to go. Just make sure you can say what your requirements are in Spanish and it won't be a problem.

Commercial Mexicana has an amazing amount of gluten free products. One of my sons is gluten intolerant so my eyes always spot them.

Do you know if they now have gluten free bread and pasta? If so, it saves us the hassle!
