COMMENTS / OBSERVATIONS / ARTICLES

• ARTICLES
• Gluten Free Guide to Italy – "I recently went to Italy for the first time. Going to the land of pasta and pizza sounds like heaven on Earth right? Well, for a Celiac like me, it seems like the land of gluten and tummy troubles.  I had heard rumors, though, that Italy wasn’t as difficult for gluten free diet followers as I assumed.  I’m happy to report I dined happily and a bit glutinously not to be confused with glutenously. I felt great after my weeklong adventures in Italian cuisine. I have since discovered that Italy is actually known as one of Europe’s best destinations for food-conscious travelers avoiding gluten.  In fact, eating is such a fundamental aspect to the social scene in Italy that the government gives a 100 Euro monthly stipend to those with Celiac disease to make up for the price difference of gluten free foods. Let me break that down for you, the Italian government pays GF people to eat!  Come on America, get on board with this!"  – May 5, 2016 – By Megan Stetzel – "About"  – Source: TWENTY-something TRAVEL – "WHY WAIT TO SEE THE WORLD?"

Eating your way across Italy is a perfectly acceptable travel strategy by way more people than just yours truly.
