Hi , I'm a celiac visiting America in October and wondered which is the best grocery guide to purchase to make my stay there a bit easier. I was there last October and found grocery shopping quite difficult as gluten is not mentioned on labels.
Any help about this or restaurant recommendations would be great. I'm staying in Orlando.

Thanks

Try to find a Whole Foods Market or a Wild Oats. Those are good grocery stores with more gluten free choices and more organic veggies and such. I live in South Florida and there's one in Tampa for sure so there should be one in Orlando too.

Are you staying at Disney World? Or in other hotel or someone's home?
Disney has gluten-free restaurants in their hotels (so I've heard).

I am staying in a villa , have you used any of the gluten free grocery guides whch are available? Last time I was in Orlando I managed to eat out without too many problems but grocery shopping was a bit moe difficult as products weren't labelled showing if they containd gluten or not.

Thanks

Below is the information from the Wholefoods website for the store in the Orlando area:

Whole Foods has a good selection of gluten free food. My local WholeFoods will print out a list of gluten free foods in the store if I ask at the Customer Service desk. I do not live in Florida so I would suggest e-mail WholeFoods and ask if that service is available at this specific store. Also, "Gluten Free" shelf tags are below many of the gluten free foods.

Have a super trip.

Hi,

I just answered another post of yours. I actually started out by going to the Universal Studios website for information and e-mailing the two restaurants I mentioned, NBA City and Margaritaville. Both places e-mailed me back and we started making arrangements that way.

I don't know your vacation plans, but City Walk is a large area outside the Universal amusement parks. City Walk has lots of shops, restaurants, movie theaters, live bands in the evenings, etc.
