Guide to Online Gluten-Free Resources You Can Use When Traveling

For those who have celiac disease, an intolerance to gluten, or just prefer to eat less food with gluten, finding gluten-free food is challenging in general.

Now, with the advent of mobile device apps, delivery services, blogs and online resources, you’ll be able to find a gluten-free bakery near you, one that will deliver to your doorstep, or the inspiration to bake yourself.
Below are her healthy passport picks for the best gluten-free bakery resources. Call ahead before visiting a brick-and-mortar bakery to ask for vegan, daily and seasonal options that may not be listed on the web sites.
