Hi

Just got back from my Costa Rican holiday. It was great. Eating GF was very
easy at our first stop La Poloma Lodge on the Osa Peninsula. All food was
served family style but they prepared something for me each meal time that I
too could eat. They were wonderfully accomadating and helpful. After that
things became more difficult. I had a card in Spanish from GIG that helped,
but some other spots seemed less concerned with helping me. On the road we
came across one restaurant where no one was literate. This made my card
useless. I did my best guess from the menu and did not get sick. So all in
all I think I did ok. I guess I will find out next month when I go back to my
GI doc and have my follow up tests. We loved the Costa Rica it is just
beautiful.
