Traveling To Northern Georgia

My family and I will be taking a cross country road trip this summer from Kansas to a small town in Northern Georgia, near Young Harris. I am taking my kids to see their great grandmother, my grandmother. She was diagnosed with lung cancer this past year, had a lobe removed, but due to her age will not undergo chemo or radiation.

I looked into the area with the gluten free registry, but there are no bakeries, restaurants, or grocery stores listed within a 200 mile radius. I plan on bringing my own cookware, flours and supplies, but I cannot pack enough food and supplies for four people to eat gluten free for a week, nor will I always have access to a kitchen. Added to that the kitchen I will be able to use is a non gluten free environment.

I plan to have sandwich supplies for the drive down, as well as fruit, probably baby carrots, cereal and milk for breakfast. The main problem is the time we will spend there. I would appreciate any ideas, or any information on the area that any one has. We have lived with this disease quite well four four years now, but this is our first long trip. And this may be our last chance to see her. Thanks again.

Hi, Mom~

How about going online and pre-ordering a bunch of food from one of the stores like glutenfreemall.com and have it delivered to the Georgia address?

I hadn't even thought about that! Believe it or not, I survive without ever visiting a health food store, so I usually don't think of them. :D

Welcome,

I'm from the Atlanta area. If you get close to the city there are many places you can shop. I use the regular grocery store for most of my food. There is Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, Return to Eden. That one is just off I85. So there are many places to get food.

I wont lie..whenever I travel I always have food sent ahead. If I am visiting someones house I have it delivered there, if someone is going a head of me I send stuff with them as well as pack a few things to travel.

I love the "travel" sized peanut butter single servings they don't take up much room and don't go bad. But your right fruit, veggies, bars and the like are a staple.

Good luck and enjoy the time with your family.

Thank you for the suggestions. I made my first "trip" to the gluten free mall. I just have to say, yikes! I didn't realize how expensive the pre-made foods are. I make everything at home from flours I buy at a local Korean market. But now that I have been there, I may have to order some chicken nuggets and maybe some breakfast items for the trip. I still haven't found a recipe for a really good glazed doughnut. But since my little girls are 3 and 6, having a few cheat items, stuff that goes straight into the oven or microwave, would be nice.

There really aren't any options near Young Harris so the suggestions of packing everything is your best bet. There is an Ingles Market in Blairsville. They carry a lot of gluten free items. It varies by location so I'm not sure what they have but you can usually find Glutino crackers, Pamela's cookies, etc.

You can find their gluten-free lists here: Open Original Shared Link

      It's also a symptom of EPI.

      3 year old gluten intolerance?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Yes.  Proportionately a small piece to a toddler is like a whole slice to an adult.  This is an important clue.  She was doing well, accidentally ate gluten and later the old behavior returned. I remember reading posts here of people reacting to a kiss from someone who had just eaten gluten. Recent research indicates that 40% of first degree relatives of someone with Celiac have undiagnosed Celiac Disease.  Father, mother, siblings.  There is a whole list of symtoms of "silent celiac".  Here is an article of symptoms possibly mistaken for other causes than Celiac Disease.  When I finally stopped gluten at 63 years old, I counted 19 things that improved, including lifelong mouthbreathing.  I never smelled bad things, so I as a kid, I learned to respond to the other kid's response in order to not seem weird. I really recommend you pursue testing for all the family if you can, and the whole family following GFD.  It is difficult at first, but the benefits will be worth it.

      Feel Good gluten free chicken soup dumplings

      By Visionaerie · Posted

      I get these but where we are, they are called chicken potstickers. I would obviously suggest that it is the ginger in the product that is causing a stimulative digestive effect! So you might want to do what I do, just cook one of them with the rest of your meal so you don't have the same effect. I love the Feel Good products but they are on the expensive side. (I also drink Reed's ginger brew so in general, ginger is a friend of mine..when delivered at the right dose). Hope this helps and have a warm healthy week!

      Glutening symptom? oily stool

      By ognam · Posted

      Has anyone had Steatorrhea (oily/fatty poop) as a temporary glutening symptom or should I be concerned I've introduced chronic gluten somewhere (like in meds)? I haven't gotten Steatorrhea since before I went gluten free. However, I moved in the past few weeks and haven't been as careful - I've eaten at restauraunts with cross contamination but only experienced minor symptoms like headache. The past week, I ate only gluten free food at home except I went to Red Robin and got fries (told them gluten-free; allergy). The next day I had Steatorrhea and the day after that.   I know it's a symptom of malabsorption so I was wondering if it was the kind of thing that could be caused by one event or if it was due to a more chronic issue. Of course I will speak to a GI but I recently moved and need to find one.   Thank you for any info

      Anyone else with very high HDL?

      By plumbago · Posted

      A relative has opened another door for me on this issue -- the possibility of menopause raising HDL. Most studies suggest that menopause decreases HDL-C, however, one study found that often it's increased. "Surprisingly, HDL cholesterol was higher (p < 0.001) in postmenopausal women by 11%. Further, the number of women who had low HDL cholesterol was higher in pre vs. postmenopausal women. The range of ages were 26–49 years for pre-menopausal and 51–74 years for postmenopausal women. "This interesting finding has also been observed by other investigators. It is possible that the observed increase in HDL-C in postmenopausal women could be due to a protective mechanism to counterbalance the deleterious effects of biomarkers associated with menopause. However, further studies are needed to confirm this theory. And to the point raised earlier about functionality: "...some patients with elevated HDL-C concentrations could remain at risk for coronary events if HDL is not functional and some authors have suggested that this could be the case for menopausal women." Postmenopausal Women Have Higher HDL and Decreased Incidence of Low HDL than Premenopausal Women with Metabolic Syndrome. By no means to I think this is definitive, rather food for thought.
