New Find Me Gluten Free App Features

Welcome to the Travel Gluten Free Podcast, where you can listen in on how to lead a gluten-free lifestyle with more fun and ease! Travel Gluten Free gives you valuable information from finding a safe restaurant to knowing what food is safe to eat when you travel; I'll be with you every step of the way on your gluten-free journey. Lead your gluten-free life, don't let being gluten-free lead your life. Enjoy Food, Enjoy Travel, and Enjoy Life with your show host, Elikqitie!

In this episode, I'm chatting with Jason Elmore, a return guest from Episode #10. Today, Jason talks about his handy app, Find Me Gluten Free, and the new features he’s created to make finding a safe, gluten-free restaurant even easier than before! We chat about his favorite, local, gluten-free restaurants in Portland, Oregon and fun activities you’ll want to do next time you visit Oregon.

Find Me Gluten Free App

Jason Elmore was diagnosed with Celiac disease shortly after graduating with his computer science degree. He found that dining out and eating safely gluten-free was a huge challenge, so he decided to put his skill set to work, creating an app to assist those of us who are gluten-free in finding safe food at restaurants. Jason worked on weekends for over a year to create his app, which features finding gluten-free restaurants, along with reviews from others who lead a gluten-free lifestyle. 

With a community of over 3 million people, Find Me Gluten Free is the most popular on-the-go resource for the gluten-free traveler, where the gluten-free among us can easily find and read reviews on restaurants all over the United States. Find Me Gluten Free is a tool that anyone who leads the gluten-free lifestyle should have in their toolbox! Use it at home to discover new restaurants in your area and use it while traveling - either within the US or abroad - to easily find restaurants to eat at close by and safe!

Find Me Gluten Free App Free and Premium Features

There are two versions of Find Me Gluten Free - a paid and a free version. The free version of the app gives you restaurants by location that are gluten-free friendly and dedicated gluten-free friendly. In the free version of the app, you can also search for a type of food such as pizza, beer, bakeries, breakfast, and dinner.

The paid version (which is a no-brainer if you’re Celiac) has features such as sorting by most Celiac friendly and details about dedicated space and utensils, so you know which restaurants have the best and safest gluten-free protocol. Bookmark restaurants you want to go to so you can remember which places you’d like to visit in the future.

Read Gluten Free Restaurant Reviews

Leave reviews and pictures of your favorite places with the Find Me Gluten Free App. When I travel, I like to see where I’ve eaten safely and return to that restaurant to eat again. You can also find out other users' favorite places to eat, where they’ve left reviews, and which restaurants are on their hit list. In addition to reviews, you can find out what types of foods different restaurants serve and which gluten-free protocol a restaurant has in place.

COVID Gluten Free Restaurant Features

When COVID hit, the pandemic turned the restaurant industry on its head. With hours, seating, and many other factors changing, Jason added COVID information so that our community could add information about how and when you could dine and if the establishment was still open. 

New Features added in Find Me Gluten Free App

Using Medical Cannabis to Reduce Auto-Immune Inflammation with Tim Pickett of Utah Therapeutic Center

Welcome to the Travel Gluten Free Podcast, where you can listen in on how to lead a gluten-free lifestyle with more fun and ease! Travel Gluten Free gives you valuable information from finding a safe restaurant to knowing what food is safe to eat when you travel; I'll be with you every step of the way on your gluten-free journey. Lead your gluten-free life, don't let being gluten-free lead your life. Enjoy Food, Enjoy Travel, and Enjoy Life with your show host, Elikqitie!

In this episode, I'm chatting with Tim Pickett, who is the founder of the Utah Therapeutic Center. Tim sees patients with chronic illnesses such as chronic pain, auto-immune diseases and terminally ill patients, all of whom are seeking relief from their symptoms without using pharmaceutical drugs.

What is Medical Cannabis?

Medical cannabis is using the marijuana plant and extracting the healthy, inflammation-fighting components of the plant. You can receive medical cannabis in tinctures, edibles, whole flowers, vape cartridges, balms, and sprays. “The art of Medical Marijuana and plant-based medicine is to ascertain what ratio and strain might be right for the patient, how best to administer the plant as medicine, and how to utilize patient feedback to get the best outcome.”

Medical Cannabis is different from using marijuana for recreational use. With medical cannabis, patients are using this plant for relief of symptoms, not to get high. If you’re looking to find relief from your chronic condition and find that you want to balance the THC in your cannabis, you can try using CBD for a more balanced effect.

How Can I Get a Medical Marijuana Card?

In Utah, you have to qualify under one of the qualifying conditions to get a medical marijuana card. These conditions are Aids, Alzheimer’s, chronic pain, terminal illness, ALS, Autism, Chron’s, Ulcerative Colitis, seizures, MS, PTSD, muscle spasms, and cancer. To apply for a card, you must have a QMP - a qualified medical provider - who has taken and passed the certification to recommend medical cannabis. I’ve had only positive experiences at the Utah Therapeutic Clinic with their caring and professional staff.

Once you have been approved for a medical marijuana card, you can meet with a pharmacist at the dispensary located near you to find out which types of cannabis are a good fit for your specific symptoms. 

Where Can I Find Medical Marijuana in Utah?

There are almost ten dispensaries located and dispersed throughout Utah. My go to pharmacy is Deseret Wellness in Park City. You can find a list of Utah licensed dispensaries on the Utah Therapeutic Website.

How Should I Dose My Medical Marijuana?

Like other medicinals used, you always want to start with small doses and work your way up. Also, you’ll want to try one or two strains at first, then change up to or add medical cannabis as needed. I’ve had great results using Limonene during the day for depression and their 1:10 tincture for joint pain. In addition, I’ve been getting much better quality sleep using the Dragonfly Bites, which are edibles.

Why Utah Therapeutic Center for Medical Cannabis?

While you can choose from any medical provider in Utah, my girlfriend recommended Utah Therapeutic Center as she loved their professional customer service. I was really impressed with how much time they spent listening to my health issues and how well they guided me through the process.

In this episode, I'm chatting with Crystal Kish of The Spudd Hutt about her vegetarian and mostly gluten-free food truck. Meeting Crystal at Old Town Hot Springs when I visited Steamboat last year, we talked about the importance of offering gluten-free and a dedicated fryer. Little did I know how much she took this to heart and is now creating gluten-free fried food!

Why Gluten Free?

When she was diagnosed with an auto-immune disease, Crystal researched and found out that gluten can be an antagonistic and inflammatory food. Once she found out that there was a need for gluten-free and realized she could convert many of her recipes, Crystal turned her vegan food truck into a mostly gluten-free vegan food truck, hence The Spud Hutt! Crystal says she is constantly learning and realizing many others are looking for gluten-free food, not just those with Celiac. She believes that eating gluten-free would make a change in the health of most people. 

How Crystal Decided to Make The Spud Hutt a Food Truck

Starting purchasing her food at a bulk-foods place specializing in healthy foods, Crystal supported this grocer and purchased many of her food items from here to support her local business. They decided to start a food truck amidst the COVID epidemic as it was the easiest way to get The Spudd Hutt began to. Currently, Crystal is growing and plans to add another food truck this summer and a restaurant in the near future.

Fun Things to Do and Gluten Free Restaurants in Steamboat Springs, Colorado

Welcome to the Travel Gluten Free Podcast, where you can listen in on how to lead a gluten-free lifestyle with more fun and ease! Travel Gluten Free gives you valuable information from finding a safe restaurant to knowing what food is safe to eat when you travel; I'll be with you every step of the way on your gluten-free journey. Lead your gluten-free life, don't let being gluten-free lead your life. Enjoy Food, Enjoy Travel, and Enjoy Life with your show host, Elikqitie!

In this episode, I’ll share with you how to go spring hopping and how to enjoy countless hours soaking in hot springs, which springs I liked the best, and amazing gluten-free food you can find when you’re visiting Steamboat Springs.

Colorado Road Trip 

Planning a vacation to Colorado is easier than you think! Because Colorado is such a health-conscience state, there are many options that a member of our gluten-free community can enjoy safely. With plenty of health-food stores and dining options you’re sure not to go hungry when traveling to Colorado by car. In addition to traveling by car, the Denver airport is a major hub, so you can also fly-in and out of Denver International easily. Since there are only a few gluten-free places inside the airport, plan to get a bite to eat after landing. 

Hot Spring in Steamboat Springs, Colorado

Old Town Hot Springs

From their website, "Old Town Hot Springs has eight different pools providing different functions to the facility. All of the water originates from the all natural Heart Spring and eventually flows into the additional pools. The pools vary in temperature from 103 degrees to our 80 degree lap pool."

Definitely a local's favorite, Old Town Hot Springs is part of the Steamboat Rec Facility. You can purchase a day pass and soak all day long in the springs. Enjoy the waterslide, rock climbing wall, or regular chlorinated lap pool for some water fitness. 

I enjoyed the size of this facility and the family-friendly atmosphere of Old Town Hot Springs. Each pool is maintained at a different temperature to find the amount of heat you are most comfortable in. Besides the large main pool with a bridge, there are several other smaller pools you can soak in that are more adult-oriented. 

In addition to the main hot springs, Steamboat also boasts smaller springs that are not heated over 75 degrees. You can find a list and location here on this Hot Springs guide. 

Strawberry Park Hot Springs

Definitely my favorite of all the hot springs I've been to in Steamboat; Strawberry Park Hot Springs offers multiple large pools with varying levels of heat. In addition to the pools, they also have chairs and provide a large restroom with a changing area. You can stay overnight in one of their cabins, the caboose train, or bring your own tent for tent camping along with enjoying the hot springs. If you're on the risque side, you're in luck! Strawberry offers clothing-optional bathing after dark to enjoy bathing in your birthday suit.

Eating Gluten Free in Steamboat Springs

Do you like Greek food? If so, head over to Skull Creek Greek to eat falafels in a dedicated fryer and gluten-free pita bread! Also, check out Seedz Breakfast and Lunch Cafe, where most of their menu is gluten-free, and all of their menus are healthy! Grab gluten-free bread to go after eating your...

Visiting Devil’s Tower NM and Crazy Horse Memorial

Welcome to the Travel Gluten Free Podcast, where you can listen in on how to lead a gluten-free lifestyle with more fun and ease! Travel Gluten Free gives you valuable information from finding a safe restaurant to knowing what food is safe to eat when you travel; I'll be with you every step of the way on your gluten-free journey. Lead your gluten-free life, don't let being gluten-free lead your life. Enjoy Food, Enjoy Travel, and Enjoy Life with your show host, Elikqitie!

In this episode, I’ll give you the 411 on how to visit Devil’s Tower National Monument and why you want to visit the Crazy Horse Memorial. Devil’s Tower is the geologic formation that was made famous by the Steven Speilberg movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind and not much has changed in the area since the movie was filmed in 1977.

South Dakota and Wyoming Travel Tips 

When you’re planning a vacation to South Dakota or Wyoming, you’ll want to be prepared to drive long distances across these vast, open, and rural states. While there are many outdoor and tourist activities to be had, the most essential aspect you’ll need to remember is to consistently map out where you will go in a location that you have decent wi-fi. 

Wyoming is a big state, with very few accommodations in between cities as there are many farms and thousands of acres of open space. This is definitely a place where you’ll need to do some planning ahead for your activities - mainly because the drive-in between them can be lengthy. In addition, Wyoming doesn’t have very many places that are gluten-free friendly, which adds to the amount of planning you’ll need to do in advance of your trip.

Devil’s Tower National Monument

If you are a fan of the Steven Spielberg movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind, you’ll definitely want to take a trip out and experience Devil’s Tower National Monument. What I love about this monument, besides the fact that I became completely enamored with this geologic feature when I first saw the movie at the age of five in 1977, is that you can easily see the entire park on the weekend!

From the park entrance, check out the visitor center, which offers you views of the different sides of the monument. The Tower Trail and other hikes offer changing views of the Tower. When you drive in from the highway, you can see the one side of the Tower with the amazing and beautiful landscape surrounding this geologic feature. Definitely pull over and get a picture of the Tower a few miles out before you get into the park. Once inside the park, you’ll be able to hike around the entire Tower with the ability to see many perspectives of the geologic formation. To truly see the Tower, one must observe it from all perspectives.

Before white settlers came into the area and gave this geological feature its American name, our Native American peoples celebrated and lived around the Tower for thousands of years; their modern descendants still maintain a connection with this place on a physical and a spiritual level. “Oral histories passed down by various American Indian tribes, as well as their present-day ceremonies, offer us important perspectives of the Tower.”

Crazy Horse Memorial

The Crazy Horse Memorial is the largest carved monument to date, and if you placed it on top of Mount Rushmore, it would easily consume the entirety of this monument. Over one million people visit this unique and beautiful work of art, which was started in 1939 when Chief Henry Standing...

Welcome to the Travel Gluten Free Podcast, where you can listen in on how to lead a gluten-free lifestyle with more fun and ease! Travel Gluten Free gives you valuable information from finding a safe restaurant to knowing what food is safe to eat when you travel; I'll be with you every step of the way on your gluten-free journey. Lead your gluten-free life, don't let being gluten-free lead your life. Enjoy Food, Enjoy Travel, and Enjoy Life with your show host, Elikqitie!

In this episode, I'm chatting with John Biethan, who studied metaphysics, world religion, nutrition for seven years. In addition, Jon also studied music such as the bass guitar, piano, harpsichord and went on to manage singer/songwriters, most notably Chris Calloway, Cab Calloway's daughters. He and Chris toured the "Cab Calloway Legacy" show together for three years. John lived in Santa Fe, New Mexico, for over two decades. In this conversation, we talk about the history and culture of this remarkable place, why it's on my bucket list, and amazing gluten-free restaurant options in Santa Fe. 

Fun Things to Do in Santa Fe

Museums are always on my list of things to do when I travel, which is why I was excited about the Georgia O’Keefe museum and the Gerald Peters Art Gallery and Folk Art Museum on the Hill. I didn’t know this, but Santa Fe is the fifth largest artistic center in the world! Apparently, Santa Fe is a significant crossroads for singers, songwriters, and artists because this city is a stopover for artists traveling to and from California.

The Indian Market, where local native Americans sell their art, rugs, and other cultural items, and the Spanish Market of Santa Fe are two fun, local markets you can attend in the summer and early fall. During August and September, find lots of local goods and fare to buy and try. In addition to these two markets, visit Zozobra Art Park during harvest time for great local fun.

Chaco Canyon Historical Park, located northwest of Albuquerque, is a tremendous local, national park to visit and learn the history and culture of the region. Two Grey Hills Trading Post sells a variety of native blankets and jackets. Support local Native Americans by stopping by and making a purchase!

Gluten Free Restaurants in Santa Fe New Mexico

Looking for good, gluten-free fare in New Mexico? Of course you are! Jon recommended several restaurants to eat at, and when I checked, these places were listed as gluten-free friendly, so make sure to stop by and eat at one of these establishments when you’re in Santa Fe.

Try The Plaza Cafe in Santa Fe, Mollie’s, Geronimo Restaurant, which have been local favorites for decades and now cater to gluten-free! El Meson Restaurante and tapas bar is another fantastic gluten-free-friendly location you’ll want to check out while in Santa Fe.

We talk about the history and culture of Santa Fe, famous people Jon has worked with over his career, and his podcast What Has My Attention Podcast. Listen in to find out hotel recommendations, the best time to visit Santa Fe, and why Santa Fe is such a mecca of art and culture.

Gluten Free Road Trips and Gluten Free Breweries with Gluten Free Dave

Welcome to the Travel Gluten Free Podcast, where you can listen in on how to lead a gluten-free lifestyle with more fun and ease! Travel Gluten Free gives you valuable information from finding a safe restaurant to knowing what food is safe to eat when you travel; I'll be with you every step of the way on your gluten-free journey. Lead your gluten-free life, don't let being gluten-free lead your life. Enjoy Food, Enjoy Travel, and Enjoy Life with your show host, Elikqitie!

In this episode, I'm chatting with Gluten Free Dave who has been gluten free for over ten years. Gluten Free Dave's journey began with an autoimmune disease diagnosis of Hashimoto's thyroid disease. A long-term family doctor never tested Dave for thyroid disease because his doctor thought only women had thyroid problems. Changing doctors was a significant first step, but his doctor didn't understand gluten or nutrition. "I have always loved to cook, but since going gluten-free, I have become obsessed with baking too! I was a beer drinker before going gluten-free. I was basically on the Atkins diet after going GF as I didn't know what I was doing and only ate meat and vegetables!"

After going GF, Dave didn't drink beer for over a year because he didn't know GF beers existed. There is a lot of misinformation about what a GF beer is, and he learned the hard way that gluten-removed is not gluten-free! 

In line with his passion for beer, Dave has created his vacation adventures around visiting gluten-free breweries. He's visited six of the 15 gluten-free breweries in the US and has a goal to see them all. "My wife and I have planned our recent vacations around the cities that host GF breweries. We research nearby safe restaurants and love to hike." So far, Dave's visited GF breweries in Seattle, WA, Portland OR, Golden CO, St Paul MN, Madison, WI, and Tulsa, OK, with plans to visit more gluten-free breweries in the upcoming Post-COVID travel months!

We talk about his experience with social media and how his social media account has created a common thread with his kids, our delicious brand we both love, Pamcakes and great gluten-free places to visit.

Listen in to find out where you can find great gluten-free breweries, which breweries have a gluten-free food selection, National Park travel tips, and tips for gluten-free travel. Learn tips on gluten-free travel, what dry goods we pack when we travel, and where Dave is planning to travel in the near future!
