Diet restrictions and international travelling...

My 3 year old and I both have Celiac disease (meaning we are unable to eat wheat, rye, barley, and oats in any form, including in soy sauce). Normally, it's fairly easy to find things when we're travelling, but going to Vietnam for 2-3 weeks for our adoption is a whole different story--fresh foods are out of the country, and with the language barrier, it's hard to know what's safe in terms of being gluten free. And there's a 20 hour flight in there as well. So, for those with major dietary restrictions, how do you deal with international travel--the flight, the stay in another country...you don't just shrivel up and avoid eating the whole time, do you?
