Staying Gluten-Free in Puerto Vallarta

With more than 3 000 000 Americans
diagnosed with Celiac Disease and gluten allergies, more and more people
are now following a gluten-free diet. 
And wheat-free visitors and residents in Puerto Vallarta will find that eating gluten-free is easier than expected.

Mexican food includes a lot of corn, rice,
meat, seafood, vegetables and beans so simply opting for corn tortillas over

tortilla chips….you’ll never miss them!  Gluten-free diners will also love Salud Super Foods in Olas Altas which offers a menu of great
tasting, primarily gluten-free
