My family and I are going on vacation and I'm super excited and also a bit nervous. Nervous about food. So annoying, but it's true. So...from the time we leave our house in the early AM until we arrive at our rental condo will be about 8 hours. What should I pack to eat on the plane? I need a plan. To make it a bit more difficult I'm soy free as well. Would love your help...thanks!

We bake or make a lot of items to take with us on trips prior to going. I pack things in individual baggies or hard plastic containers.  Homemade muffins. Peanut butter and honey or jelly sandwiches (no fridge needed!). Trial mixes. Dried Fruit. We like the Go Picnic boxes (not all are gluten-free, so watch that ..not sure on soy for those). Apples. Jerky. Popcorn baggies. Carrots. NoGii protein bars. Individual humus packages (no fridge if buy it like that premade ones) or individual peanut butter packages and eat with crackers/carrots/celery sticks.

Good luck!

Thanks Darisa! Great ideas. I definitely could bake something for us to have. I had thought of Larabar ubers and bananas, but didn't seem like enough for 8 hours. And when I get hungry I get cranky. Lol!

With a small insulated bag you could take tuna (or any other kind of) sandwiches.

Good idea bart! I do eat tuna, but probably wouldn't bring it on the plane because if smell...but maybe another kind of sandwich. We're leaving our house at 5 AM...so I need to have something for breakfast-lunch.

I just returned from flying both flights had early departures and thanks to airline changes long layovers here are some things I took:

I froze cheese sticks and they were my "ice pack" for my insulated soft cooler

Hard boiled egg I had peeled the night before

Small bags of Smartpop Popcorn

Kind Bars

Chex Mix Granola.

gluten-free Trail mix

 

I saw a lady with three small children traveling, she had brought sliced apples and oranges.  

 

Due to the long layovers I was able to explore the airports, all had fresh fruit, lara bars, kind bars, caveman bars, and or course chips and candy that were all gluten free.   Only one airport was a large international airport the others were small regional and they had these items too, so I was surprised.

Thanks Always! Good ideas. We leave in a few days and I'm excited, but anxious. I've got a little stash planned to bring...bananas, lara bars, cashews, snackaroons and chex...All things I eat safely. Wish me luck!

I have a letter from my dr stating that I have celiac and must be allowed to carry my own gluten free food.  I had to use it once!  They read the letter, gave me a pat-down (!!!) and let me take my food.

      My bone structure is disintegrating and I’m having to have my teeth removed

      By StaciField · Posted

      There’s a Cosco in Auckland in New Zealand. It’s a bit away from where I live but it’s worth the travel for me. Very appreciative of your advice.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      It seems you have proven that you cannot eat gluten.  You've done what your doctors have not been able to do in 40 years. That's your low vitamin D, a common symptom with Celiac Disease.  Zinc is also a common defiency.  Its an antiviral.  that's why zinc gluconate lozenges work against airborne viruses.  Vitamin D and the Immune System+ Toe cramps, I find 250 mg of Thiamine helps.   When I started GFD I counted 19 symptoms going back to childhood that improved with Gluten Free Diet and vitamin D. I still take 10,000 IU a day to maintain 80 ng/ml and get it tested 4 times a year. Highest was 93 ng/ml and that was at end of summer.  Any excess is stored in fat or excreted through bile.   The western diet is deficient in many nutrients including choline and iodine.  Thats why processed foods are fortified.  Celiac Disease causes malabsorption of vitamins and minerals from the small intestine damage.  GFD stops the damage, but you will still have symptoms of deficiency until you get your vitamins repleted to normal.  Try to reduce your omega 6:3 ratio.  The Standard American Diet is 14:1 or greater.  Healthy is 3:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  Potatoes are 3:1 while sweet potatoes are 14:1.  So those sweet potatos that everyone says is better than Russet: they are increasing your inflammation levels.

      Allergy Meds

      By John.B · Posted

      Hello, Target recently changed their branding on the Up & Up Loratadine and no long have it labeled gluten free. I've not been able to find any meds labeled gluten free for allergies. Some lists showed them but the the packaging isn't labeled.  Wondering if anyone knows of or has a list that would be safe for Celiac kiddos.

      Weird Symptoms

      My mother also has celiac disease, and one of her symptoms for many years before her diagnosis was TMJ. I believe it took her many years on a gluten-free diet before this issue went away.

      Weird Symptoms

      By Jeff Platt · Posted

      Ear pain and ringing your entire life may or may not be TMJ related but could be something else. A good TMJ exam would be helpful to rule that out as a potential cause from a dentist who treats that. I have teens as well as adults of all ages who suffer from TMJ issues so it’s not a certain age when it shows up.
