Daily Gluten Free Life in Delicious South Korea

I just lived in South Korea for 4 months as a Celiac and with the help of my amazing Korean roommates I was able to live comfortably and enjoyably in South Korea on a gluten free diet. Of course it was not always easy especially because I lived in a dorm room without a kitchen and on a tight budget. I love food however so I definitely made it work and enjoyed South Korean cuisine. Luckily, Korea is filled with many naturally gluten free and delicious foods. I am going to share my tips and basic favorite foods with you now. A lot of this has been trial and error on my part so I cannot guarantee that everything I recommend is completely gluten free however, I am an extremely sensitive celiac and I will only recommend the items that did not upset my stomach. Read on to see.

University in Korea

Let me begin with this. I am extremely impressed with Korea. After the Korean war shook the peninsula and divided its people, South Korea became the worlds poorest country. Today it is in the top 15 economies in the world. This transformation occurred in only about a 30 years time span which is crazy. It is one of the only countries in the world to go from receiving an immense amount of international aid to giving an immense amount of international aid. Now South Korea boasts the worlds fastest internet speeds as well as the most stable and available 4G LTE network coverage. I was literally on top of a mountain in the middle of no where and I still had data. Just a few observations: Every car in has a built in GPS. Korea has all of these cities. Everyone lives in a city. It’s either city or in the middle of no where. Koreans are also the most caring people I have ever met. Instead of asking the typical “how are you?” They ask, “Did you have lunch? What did you eat”? They are really concerned about your actual health.
