Have you booked a vacation and now you are struggling with the idea of eating safely while traveling? As someone with celiac disease along with allergies to dairy, rice, and garlic, I have struggled to figure out how to best manage my allergies and celiac disease while away from my safe kitchen at home. Since I have been diagnosed, I have not let the challenges stop me from traveling and I’m here to help you every step of the way with my knowledge from real-life experience. I will help you (and your destination) get prepared for your visit.
An Allergy Consult includes:
- Discussing your allergies and dining options that best suit your needs
- Teaching you how to order your meal at quick-serve and table-service restaurants
- Discussing how to alert special diets of your dining reservations so chefs can contact you if additional information is needed to make your meals go smoothly
- Guiding you through what questions to ask when having a consultation with chefs and managers to ensure your food is prepared as safely as possible
- Providing tips and tricks on how to ensure a smooth and safe dining experience
- Giving you the confidence to advocate for yourself while ordering
Whether you’re vacationing in the theme parks in Orlando, sailing on cruise ships, or visiting an all-inclusive resort, I can help guide you through dining safely wherever you want to go! If you haven’t booked the vacation yet, contact me today and I will help you plan everything from where to go to how to eat safely while on vacation!
