14. Gluten-free travel items
When staying at a hotel or Airbnb, communal toasters, condiments and cutting boards won’t do the trick for a sensitive celiac. Gluten free travelers are sure to appreciate the following: toaster bags, foldable colanders, silicone cutting boards and individual condiment packs. For travelers going abroad, Gluten Free Passport has language translation & dining cards, travel guides & more.
