Help
Hi everyone,
I travel fairly often and there's never much I can eat at the airport. As such, I frequently picked up a bag of peanuts or cashews in the airport stores just to have something to munch on.
I went to buy some nuts on a recent trip and reread the ingredients. The most common brand of nuts sold in airports seems to be Snak Club. Well, Snak Club has a new allergy statement on it's packages that says that all of their nuts are made on shared equipment with wheat, soy, etc.
I'm bummed because I could always grab these if desperate, but also because I've probably been getting contaminated for a long time by eating these damn nuts. DOH.
So, bring your own nuts to the airport from now on.

Thanks for the head's-up. It's cheaper to bring your own, too! But there goes another "emergency-nosh".

All on a summer's day.

He stole the tarts
And took them clean away.

Snickers bars are gluten-free 
Bless 'em!
Now we have an excuse to get chocolate with our peanuts.

I just did my first travelling since going gluten-free.
How frustrating! My gate was directly across from a Cinnabon. YUM. Well I was starving so I went over there to buy some fruit. I'm so strong!!
Well, the fruit was like $1.50 MORE than the gigantic Cinnabon. AND it was going bad.
I ended up eating fries at McDonald's in Detroit on both trips. I hate fast food, but I had no problems either time.

Gluten-free since July 8, 2006
Casein-free since October 16, 2006
Went six weeks, and fell back into a deliciously painful world of cheese.
Casein-free (again and for serious this time) December 11, 2006
Stupid cheese addiction....2/07
Dx Hypothyroid in 1993
Dx Gluten & Casein Sensitive through Enterolab 10/06
Dx Adrenal *Exhaustion* 2/07
Originally from WI, I am still in denial over my newfound casein intolerance. I fear I will not be allowed back into the state if I can no longer eat cheese and drink milk. This could pose some trouble over holidays when I wish to visit my family. It also poses a problem involving the severe rage I feel when I have to throw away somebody's unfinished cheese sticks. That is so wrong.
