Celiac Friendly Countries: India
Dealing with Celiac Disease is tough, traveling while having Celiac Disease, is a whole new level of tough. There aren't many countries that are considered safe for us Celiacs. Some countries do not even know what Celiac is, so explaining our disease to people abroad, may prove to be a challenge.
However, there is one country that I have researched that does have food that is naturally Gluten Free:
India!
Middle eastern food is made up of meat, vegetables with sauce, and rice. Curry in India is also naturally Gluten Free!
Recently, I read an article about a student studying abroad in India. She has Celiac Disease, and she was uncertain if she could live in India with this disease. She found out that India is Celiac friendly. She stuck to a diet of rice and curry, and she had no problems whatsoever.
I'm not saying that you won't run into any issues in India, you might. However, the lifestyle in India is more Celiac friendly than others. Still, be cautious, no matter where your travels take you!
