Picture this: you're traveling in Hong Kong and start getting hungry so you're searching for places to eat. Easy right? Hong Kong is like the mecca of food in the east, with everything from fine dining to local food stalls on every street. There's a catch though, you need to eat a gluten-free diet. And in a city where gluten is like the second ingredient after salt, finding a restaurant that offers gluten-free dishes with no cross-contamination, or heck, even finding a place where the waiter will understand what gluten-free means, will be much more difficult than you think. This is a problem faced by our guest speaker Vanessa whenever she travels. Vanessa shares her gluten interactions with us, from when she first got diagnosed to some of her reaction stories. The types of food she can and can't eat, how she manages to eat gluten-free when her partner and her family don't, and more.
