Sensitive To Everything And Will Be Traveling - Need Advice


Austin Guy

Recommended Posts

Austin Guy Contributor

I am still relatively new to the gluten free lifestyle and am finding many other food intolerances. I am going to take a ski vacation in February and am trying to figure out what I can eat. Here is what I know I can't have:

gluten

soy

corn

rice

lactose

tree nuts (nasty allergy)

salmon (another nasty allergy)

eggs

nightshades

I'm still wondering about peanuts and other legumes, but have not tested them yet.

Any thoughts on what I should eat while gone? I am also concerned about using the same kitchen as 15 other people.

The first thing that popped into my mind was Rutabega soup. Sounds like you're sharing a house?

My neighbor turned me on to this shortly after I was sensitive to everything. You chop up an onion (shared stainless steel pans should be okay, you just might want to wash them yourself before using.) Saute the onion in olive or other safe oil. Peel and chop 1-2 rutabega into 3/4" pieces. Toss in the pot. Add about 4-6 cups water. Add a couple of thick sliced carrots if you wish. Then add some chopped safe ham. (I like Jones brand.) After bringing to a boil, cook over ML heat until the rutabega is done, about 30-40 minutes. Season to taste with s&p. Love this soup.

I was thinking of something you could safely heat up in the microwave. Sometimes I have it for breakfast. This makes a big pot of soup.

Microwaved sweet potatoes or white potatoes. Hormel corned beef hash is gluten-free SF and pretty tasty if you cook it crispy. I don't think there's any nightshades in it.

Get those little individual servings of fruit and/or applesauce.

You're going to need protein if you're skiing, so get pork chops and steaks. I hope everyone will be respectful of your diet, and not use or eat your food. I've only done group outings with family and they treat my food like it's the holy grail. (Because they knew how sick I'd been.)

I'd probably pack a Sharpee in a wierd color to mark all my foods and let everyone know what that meant.

Hope you have a great trip, good for you for going! Have fun.

Austin Guy-

I just returned from two weeks in Germany where I ate beautiful, crusty wheat rolls every morning for breakfast without a single symptom. In the states, even one such roll would have me in bed for 3 days with severe cramping. I have been checking with other foreign travelers who are not showing allergies when visiting countries that forbid the imports of US products with GMO's. The US doctors keep telling us that this is a genetic problem....But I am starting to think that there may be nothing wrong with my GENES---but something terribly wrong with the use of herbicides and pesticides.

Incidently--both corn and soy are products exposed to GMO's....So my advice for your travel is that you may find that LOCAL products might actually work for you. It would be an experiment. I knew I was taking a risk in Germany---but it has proved insightful. If this truly is a GLUTEN allergy---then I should have had reaction in Germany. I am positing that it is NOT the GLUTEN that is is culprit. It's time to ask our federal agencies to look into

what is happening with our food. Too many of us are reacting...

Good luck with your trip....dpost.

      I thought I had osteoprosis but did not find it on my record.  I know I have stenosisof the spine.  I also have Sarcoidosis and diabetes.

      I am 64.   I have struggled with a combination of diarrhea and constipation most of my life. Yes I have osteoporosis.  I have been taken magnesium citrate with calcium and d 3 and zinc.  I take b12 and my latest blood work showed it to be high 2000. My other blood work showed low rbc, hemacrit, hemoglobin and Ferrin.  My gastroentologist didn’t say anything just told me to go gluten free and check blood in 3 months. I have had 2 lumbar disc surgeries and 2 cervical spine surgeries

      Welcome to the forum @Tarp! Some more information would be helpful. What is your age? What led you to investigate celiac diagnosis 11 years ago? What were your symptoms then? Do you have osteoporosis/osteopenia? What areas of the spine have been involved with your four surgeries?  As you probably know, celiac disease damages the lining of the small bowel which typically results in malabsorption of vitamins and minerals. This, in turn, can result in bone demineralization and as well as neurological disorders. Because of your spinal surgeries, it might be difficult to sort out what is causing what. Are there nutrient deficiency related neurological problems going on? Are there nerve impingement problems going on from the surgeries? Both? Having said that, it's a pretty safe bet that you would do well to invest in some high potency vitamin and mineral supplementation to address the malabsorption problem. We routinely recommend a high potency B-complex, magnesium glycinate or magnesium citrate (not magnesium oxide), D3 (5000 IU daily) and zinc. Most of these in this list are vital to neurological health. Make sure all are gluten free. Costco's Nature Made and Kirkland Signature products are a good choice and reasonably priced.

      I am at a loss with spine issues. I have had 4 spine surgeries.  These were=all before my celiac diagnosis.  Currently I am dealing with chest pain arm pain and burning with increased weakness in my legs.  I have had bowel incontinence for 6 months.  I had a nuclear stress test and heart issues were ruled out.  I can not get a doctor to listen to me and diagnose me.  I am afraid I will end paralyzed. I had a question of celiac 11 years ago and then was told I did not have it.  Last month it was finally confirmed by biopsy.
