Dr Sue Shepherd, accredited practicing dietitian says – “When I was first told
of the great news that The Gluten Free Travel Guide was going to be written,
I was thrilled. As a dietitian working in the area of coeliac disease for a very
long time, I have seen first hand the struggle many have faced to successfully
follow their gluten free diet outside their own kitchens. Travelling can seem
an almost impossible task to many. Concerns about food availability, language
barriers, insufficient awareness of safe food production methods, are just some
of the many potential causes of anxiety for a food intolerant traveller.
The Gluten Free Travel Guide really does take away such uncertainties and difficulties.”
