Hello all!

 

I am new to the forum but was just recently diagnosed with Celiac Disease. I travel A LOT for work - By car and plane equally. I so much appreciate finding a place with ideas on how to deal with while away from home. I have really struggled with it. I have learned to always keep Ensure and Uber bars on me at all times, just in case.

 

Recently I accidentally forgot to take a small bottle of ensure out of my purse going through security. I am in my 20's so TSA looked at me confused as to why I had that lol. He asked me if I had medical issues and I told him I had celiac and eating at airports is near impossible. He said I could keep it but they would have to run it through some vapor tests. I told him it wasn't worth it for me at that very moment and to just toss it, but it was nice to know that it could be an option for the future if need be.

 

When I am on the road, I travel with a rolling cooler. I prep food ahead of time and pack it in tupperware and keep it on ice until I get to my hotel, in which I use a fridge. When I am getting ready to leave, I fill up at the hotel ice machine.

 

Anyways, sorry to ramble. I am just very excited to see a forum like this and thought I would share some tips that are useful for me.

Travel is very hard!!!  I also travel quite a bit, mostly by car.  I tried one of those plug in coolers for the car but it doesn't work so that is frustrating.  That food dehydrator is something I'm considering.  My last round of trips I was at 3 different airports and not one of them any any gluten-free options.  I ended up getting some yogurt at the newsstand but that was about all they had--well, chips too I guess.  If I'm just going for a day, bringing food is not a big deal but it's the several day trips that get difficult.  The hard part is needing to leave a cooler in the car with food.  It just doesn't work well.

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      By cristiana · Posted

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Russ H · Posted

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.

      BFree bread is fortified with vitamins and minerals as is ASDA own-brand gluten-free bread. All the M&S bread seems to be fortified also.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Flash1970 · Posted

      You might try Heallix.  It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball.  It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again,  not in your eyes or ears.   Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also,  I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.
