Hi all, I’m travelling to a few places later this year that aren’t as aware of coeliac disease as the UK. I’m doing as much research as possible to find good restaurants and things to eat there but I’m well aware that I will probably be glutened whilst there because of the lack of awareness/signposting there. Because of this, I’m trying to get together a bit of a ‘glutened emergency kit’ to take with me. I was wondering if you could share some of your tips and tricks that you do if you get glutened.

For reference, if I get glutened my symptoms primarily consist of diarrhoea (for 4-8 hours after, starting about an hour after eating it), brain fog & fatigue. The one I’m really worried about is diarrhoea (I’m sure you can figure out why lol).

If you have any advice, products you use (medication, certain foods/drinks), or hacks then I’d love to hear about them.

Hi all,

I got diagnosed coeliac earlier this year. I knew nothing about coeliac disease before my diagnosis so have learned a hell of a lot about the disease in a short space of time.

I’m travelling to Hong Kong later this year and am concerned about finding coeliac-safe food/restaurants while I’m out there. When I was out there last year, I don’t remember seeing anything resembling allergen info & neither does my friend (a native Hong Konger), so she’s now also worried about my food situation.

Does anyone have any tips for coeliacs in Hong Kong? I understand that a lot of my favourite foods are now no-gos but wanted to ask if anyone knows of some good GF restaurants/shops or has any tips for travelling there?

(For reference, I spend most of my time in Hong Kong Island & occasionally Mong Kok. Most of my time is spent around North Point, Causeway Bay, Quarry Bay & Central). Happy to travel for some good GF food though☺️

Thanks🙏🏻
