Bring food with you: dried nuts, dark chocolate, fruit, or an RX bar.

She starts with the show’s 300-episode milestone and a first-ever triple-win giveaway tied to the BetterBelly Blueprint and three months of free group coaching. Anyone who leaves a review or shares the show by the deadline can enter, and she explains how the screenshot, coupon, and winner announcement work. From there, she shifts into the real problem behind the title: travel when gluten, dairy, and grains are all off the table. She says one wrong restaurant choice can mean bloating, constipation, and feeling wrecked for the next two to seven days minimum. That turns a fun trip into constant meal math. She walks through the kinds of places that still work when the menu looks risky at first glance. American restaurants, she says, are often more flexible than they seem, because you can ask for a bunless burger, a lettuce wrap, or an entree built around meat, vegetables, and a carb you can actually tolerate. Italian spots also get a better report than expected. Instead of treating them as pasta-only territory, she points to salads with protein, baked potatoes, and other swaps that keep the meal in bounds. Middle Eastern restaurants make another strong option. She likes them for meat-and-vegetable plates, hummus, and the ability to leave off pita or rice when grain-free eating matters. Along the way she keeps drawing a line between her own level of sensitivity and what someone with celiac disease would need. She is clear that cross-contact is a different strategy for a different level of risk. The practical goal here is not perfection. It is getting through travel without every meal becoming a setback. She keeps coming back to ordering in a way that feels simple, direct, and repeatable. Ask for the swap. Ask for the sauce on the side. Ask for the starch you can use instead of the one you cannot. By the end, the episode reads like a field guide for people who want to eat out while protecting a very specific gut setup.
