Holiday difficulties

We all know that trying to navigate dietary requirements in our native language, in our home country, comfortably and safely, can already be hugely difficult.

So how do people manage abroad?

I often print and laminate basic translation cards of key phrases e.g. “I’m allergic to X, Y and Z, what can I eat?/can I eat this?”

I also try to aim for self catering accommodation, and pack some super basic food (instant pasta (Bachelors!) and protein powder) for emergencies.

I’d love to travel more, and I always enjoy my holidays, but the idea can fill me with dread sometimes.

Do any of my fellow allergic folks have any great tips?
