How to Travel the World Gluten Free – The Sightseeing Coeliac

Coeliac disease and travelling I didn’t grow up going on beach holiays or chilling out holidays, my family holidays involved being on the go, experiencing local culture, eating in local restaurants and cooking bbqs with produce from local markets. I can’t remember a time when I, or my family wasn’t planning our next adventure. Until […]

Gluten Free in Hong Kong – The Sightseeing Coeliac

Why Hong Kong? After loads of discussions with Paul and my friends, Louise and Hugh about going on holiday in March, we eventually picked Hong Kong for a random week away.
