Here is a summary of responses to a question I posted a couple of weeks ago about traveling in the Yukatan:

I lived in two towns in that area. The best tip is when you shop in the grocery stores ask to see if local women have hand made any corn tortillas for the shop. They'll store them in the mornings in coolers. Wonderful for cheese, bean, veges,, eggs, salsa, the chilli verdi or colorado are not usually thickened with anything. Some of the best fruit in the world. There's no place like Mexico to get well when you've first been diagnosed and the small towns are best. The fancy condos cook more Anglo and I have to be more careful with sneaky sauces and cross contamination at buffets.

It has been several years but I was nearby a few years ago. I brought a diet
card in Spanish. In "americanized" restaurants, I had to be very careful. I
found the traditional Mexican restaurants to have very little gluten aside
from tortillas and some sauces. Most read my card, smiled and said I could
eat everything in their restaurant with a couple of exceptions.
