Ep 54 All-Inclusive Resort Travel with Tarryn & Lisa

January 23, 2019 /

The topic for this week’s episode is staying at an all-inclusive resort.  This poses many problems, but also opportunity for someone on a special diet, if you research and plan ahead.  I spoke with Tarryn of My Celiac Life who travels frequently and Lisa from my Gluten Free Weigh In podcast.  Tarryn walks us through the process she uses and Lisa chats about her recent vacation in Cuba.

My Thoughts –

I love to travel.  I must admit, I was one of those people who thought my days of travelling were over when I was diagnosed.  I remember travelling with violent stomach issues.  Now that I knew what caused my discomfort (to put it mildly), I really didn’t feel that I could enjoy travelling anywhere because of my restrictions.

My problem was that I worked as a freelance travel agent and was expected to travel, which in the long run was a good thing.  I did learn to travel.  My favorite vacation is on a cruise.  My second favorite is at an all-inclusive.  The all-inclusive was often not of my choice, but dictated from a supplier.

I faithfully used the restaurant cards and learned to ask and question everything.  I became a keen observer of the routines of the restaurant staff and was very pro-active in any situation.  I have to say, I have never been sick at an all-inclusive.

Cruising is my other go-to option.  I have a cruise booked over the winter and will look at how to eat safely on a cruise on a future podcast.

Travel is fun and rewarding, don’t let your special diet stand in your way.  Work with your diet to travel safely – it will be worth the effort.
