Hi all...

In all I received 31 replies to my question.  Thanks for the quick response!  
I had to break this summary into 2 parts because it was too long.

=============

Many of you guided me to a website:

<A HREF="http://www.1-888-inn-seek.com/gluten.cfm">http://www.1-888-inn-seek.com/gluten.cfm</A>

This site lists 115 B&Bs that cater to celiacs.  The complier of this list is 
a travel writer and celiac sufferer.

One person who sent this link also wrote:

"One word of caution, though.  I have stayed at inns I found through them 
that were accomodating in that they didn't give me anything with gluten, however 
nor did they find substitutions.  So I often found myself starving by 10 am 
(usually a rarity when staying at a B&B)."

=============

One person pointed out gluten-free vacations being offered through 
Glutenfreeda (this one sounds like TONS of fun!):

"This summer, June and August, we are offering complete gluten-free vacations 
here on beautiful San Juan Island in Washington state.  The vacations are 5 
nights and include lodging, all gourmet, gluten-free meals and a scheduled 
activity each day like Whale Watching, Sea Kayaking, Sailing and more.  Each 
evening will be a gourmet
gluten-free dining experience with themed meals such as French Bistro, 
Italian Cuisine, Pacific Northwest Barbecue and more. If you would like more 
information, please visit <A HREF="www.glutenfreeda.com">www.glutenfreeda.com</A>."

Hi Andrea. I know what you mean. I just attended a two-day convention where I 
was told weeks ahead that they would accommodate my diet and that they would 
be in touch with me for details before the event. No contact was made and 
there was very little that I felt safe eating. I thought breakfast might at least 
have some fruit, but there was absolutely nothing that was safe. It was a very 
high cholesterol breakfast so maybe it was for the best!:)
I typed in 'celiac bed and breakfast accommodations' on my search engine and 
it gave me quite a list of available places -- give it a try.

===============

We travel a lot and found that as a rule B&B's will cater to their guests 
just as restaurants will.  Ideally, one should let the B&B know when you make the 
reservation, but I no longer do that.  Upon arrival, I let them know what I 
can eat and have had no problems.  Same with restaurants, although I obviously 
seriously limit my choices before I ask.  (I don't bother to ask about obvious 
things like beef stew or meatloaf!).  The hospitality industry is trained to 
please their guests.  Get brave - and enjoy yourself and your son will too.  
Have a great vacation.
