Anyone up for a week of hiking, kayaking, rain forest walks, beaches, swimming, zip-lining, and gluten-free meals enjoyed with a gluten-free nutrition and health expert?
[waving hand frantically] Oh, uh, I don’t have any more vacation time left. [pout]
I know I said I was going to take you places, but first I have to help EMS fill their last few spaces for this trip. You see, I think it is amazing that they are even trying to accommodate people on a gluten-free diet.

Have you ever been to Costa Rica? What did you think? What did you eat? Pray tell.
*Can I just tell you what a freaky small world it is?! I searched for Costa Rica photos on Flickr and only about 705,489 pictures popped up. So, I looked through a few pages and selected a nice one on the second page, and contacted the photographer asking for permission to use it. Lo and behold, Magda Wojtyra, replied to me explaining that she had designed the Toronto Celiac website! You can see her name below the photo of Toronto. Weird, eh? I think I hear the X Files music…
P.S. Don’t forget about the Colin Leslie Walk this coming Sunday! See ya there!
i have been to costa-rica, but before my celiac days. it is a beautiful place.
i have been traveling to guatemala for the last few years with a mission group. most of the food is corn-based. this may be true in costa rica, as well.
i always carry some g-f treats with me, in case we have to stop on the road to grab a bite…usually, i wind up sharing my food with non-celiacs.
i think g-f travel news is great…keep up the “travel-log”.
thanks so much for all you do.
I dont konw if we( my husband and I)could handele it. Jenna who is just turned seven could, she rock climbs and zip slides at camp. would you want children there? she is the one with celiac. Let us know it sounds like fun.She thinks she is a chic, I have to get her a tee shirt.
If I wasn’t having a baby next week, I would be so tempted to blow my money and go on this trip!
Costa Rica…Ahhhhh… This sounds like a wonderful trip. Especially accommodating those with CD. However, having been there this spring, I must pass. It is a beautiful place to visit. I’m sure everyone will have a wonderful time.
I have been learning Spanish so I can go to La Paz, Mexico for the winter next year. Wish I could go to Costa Rica.
Thank you for posting.
it is really helpful to all.

Hi,
I live in Costa Rica and I am finding it hard to find gluten free products. Can you help?

I’m planning to move to Costa Rica with 2 autistic boys whom are on a GF/CF diet, so I need to know at which stores we can find their food.
Please let us know
