Me too coeliac and you may be surprised to know you can have a mcdonalds without the bun and that meets the coeliacs codex.
Not everyones cup of tea but apparently children do like them and its served on a tray with a knife and fork.
GF eateries are becoming more and more popular as its become a trend for people without coeliacs.
Have you joined coeliacs uk?
Please do as its full of useful information and freebies too.
As engineer88 asked where are you going?
Good luck

Thank You, I was scared to try McDonalds as when read up it mentioned high risk of cross contamination, I'm sooo new to this all and feel as though it's taken over the diabetes!!.

Not an area I know all that well I'm afraid, however franky and bennys do a gf kids menu, as do TGI's. McDonalds as mentioned anything burger wise minus the bun and chips are good too (plus mcflurrys and hash browns). I like mcD as they carb count also.

Lots of places have hot dogs ( sausages) without the buns and can be wiped with a napkin just for insurance. You need to be careful of fried foods as many places don't have separate fryers. Or eggs of any kind.
I'm not, nor is my daughter celiac but both very intolerant. When we travel we both bring some foods for snacks just for peace of mind. Also beware gluten intolerance ( celiac) goes hand in hand with dairy and a few other cross reactive foods.
Does she like carrot or celery sticks? Other Rae veggies? They're easy to travel with. Hard boiled eggs? We usually stay in places with refrigerators as it's so much easier to bring and buy food than stress over every meal of everyday.

I eat out a lot between Colchester (you've probably not heard of this area, around 60 miles from London) and London and notice a lot of restaurants positively offer gluten free options (I know many Cake Boss outlets have desserts which are GF also). I would think that if you are able to prepare some searches in and around where you are staying, you could email ahead and enquire, many places have their menus on the websites - good luck.
The egg and sausage mcmuffin is also good without the muffin. Harvesters are reasonable and I have always found Morrison's coffee shops really good when you tell them.
