[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can you sub out some of your gluten heavy regular foods for rice dishes, GF fries, potatoes, corn tortillas/taco shells, etc.? I get that the house will be hard to be fully GF, but it would be helpful if you can try to plan GF where you can. [/quote] If that is helpful for her, I'm certainly willing to try it. Our kids love that stuff too - rice, potatoes, corn. [/quote] OP, just a note of caution-- It's not just a matter of simply substituting grains that don't have gluten. If those grains are grown in a field that has previously grown wheat, for example, that will be a problem. So you really need to read labels, etc. Other posters may have some more specific advice on this particular point. I'm the PP with the niece and nephew with celiac, and yes, my niece will vomit violently from even this kind of cross contamination. It takes attention, but you all can figure out a way to accommodate your SIL and have a great vacation together. My sister's family successfully toured Italy one summer![/quote]
