While traveling this year, Doodle and I visited so many places and tried a veritable plethora of products that are new to the market of allergy-free offerings. Sometimes during our travels, we feel like it goes by in a blur and we know our readers do as well. Because we drive to many of the shows, we have places we stop in and try their safe food options all along the way. Just imagine thousands of miles, through cities you never thought could or would hear of gluten free or allergy free. These trips have mounted into a bunch of priceless experiences.
This catch-all post should provide you with some incredible companies and eateries that are a must try if you are anywhere near them. The companies mentioned can be found regionally and nationally. If you can't find them in your store, request that they be carried. Of course it will never measure up to being at the Gluten & Allergen Free Wellness Events and trying them yourselves, but it is the next best thing we can offer.
