Hi,

I am taking my first vacation since being gluten-free. I'd like to take my toaster with me and stow it in my luggage. I checked the jet blue website, but it said nothing about bringing toasters on the plane. Has anyone ever traveled with one? Should I just buy one when I get to Florida?

I don't think it would be a problem as long as its in your checked baggage and not carry-on. Some TSA guys might think you're weird, but tape a note to it, I'm sure they've seen weirder stuff. You are pretty much garunteed they're going to open your bags, but they've opened mine every time I've flown since the new rules went into effect, So I'm no longer fazed by that.

I learned somewhere on here..when traveling use some bags you put into any toaster and it protects YOUR food. can some one share the name of these and how you get them??

I'm traveling March 2 and forgot about these 'bags' could sure some...do you really want to lug a toaster...?

I have those toaster bags myself and they are definitely easier to take with than a toaster, so you may want to try them. :)

THANKS SO MUCH

just called QVC and they will deliver by Feb 23 so i'll have in time to go to CA.

Patty, you know the thread of people who use paper towels in the micro wave...Did you post this on that thread? DOn't have time today ...still working on getting the pre cert for sleep study on vatentines day nite...grrrrrr.

I could post if no one else had..i used paper towels all the time to cover and this set has a liner for your cookies sheet..never thought of cc with that...and one for micro wave plus the toaster bags.

will cost $23.11 with shipping but if it keeps me 'healthy' while traveling...cheaper than 2 boxes of IM AD tablets...and now symptoms.

Thanks for the Q and you and Jen's and Elwony help. Elwony, tried to call your company but couldn't get anyone to talk too so wanted to see if i could get in time for CA.

So 'hyper' now don't know if I posted it before..

:ph34r:

too much going on and am 'spinning now

hate it when i do that'

tooth still hurts and dentist still researching....grrrr

I was just thinking about posting this question! I'm also going to Florida soon, and was wondering about just buying a cheap toaster to bring down with me (figuring if I did a lot of shopping I could abandon it for the way home). The toaster bags, while a great idea, won't work as I'm in a hotel and they won't provide me with a toaster. But the bags sound great, haven't tried the Crock Pot bags yet either... which is a bit off topic, but anything that saves me from scrubbing it out sounds good to me.

So you CAN travel with one in your suitcase?

HI

have gotten all my phone calls done and relaxing a bit...still have to ck on the meds scripts..of course they will all run out while in CA

wanted to tell you, a really nice lady from your company called me back. She was so nice and is sending me a catalog...it's a good price if you just want to try the bags..QVC has more in package. not sure if there other companies who make these...

1.NoStick Toast it Toaster Bags

2.Nonstick Toaster Bag & liner set.

are there other bands out there?

THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR TIME.. We should meet in CA after all the time you've taken help me get there :)

Man oh man! I've never even heard of these toaster bags! What a great idea! Thank you for sending the link. I'll give it a shot, but don't know if I'd get them in time.

I know I sound psycho for wanting to bring my toaster with me, but I will also be in a hotel, and not sure whether one will be provided. I think I'm going to try to bring it with me. I'll stick in my stow away luggage with a note taped to it (good idea Elowny).

      Scott, I am mostly asymptomatic. I was diagnosed based on high antibodies, low ferritin and low vitamin D. I wasn't able to get in for the biopsy until 3 months after the blood test came back. I was supposed to keep eating gluten during this time. Well why would I continue doing something that I know to be harmful for 3 more months to just get this test...

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      I was undiagnosed for decades. My ferritin when checked in 2003 was 3. It never went above 10 in the next 20 years. I was just told to "take iron". I finally requested the TTgIgA test in 2023 when I was well and truly done with the chronic fatigue and feeling awful. My numbers were off the charts on the whole panel. they offered me an endoscopic biopsy ...

      Is it gluten?

      Scott, I agree with everything you said except the term "false negative". It should be a "true negative" just plain negative. I actually looked up true/false negative/positive as it pertains to testing. The term "false negative" would be correct if you are positive (have anti-bodies) and the test did not pick them up. That would be a problem with the "test...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      I realized it is actually important to get an official diagnosis because then insurance can cover bone density testing and other lab work to see if any further damage has been done because of it. Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have...

      Scott, I am mostly asymptomatic. I was diagnosed based on high antibodies, low ferritin and low vitamin D. I wasn't able to get in for the biopsy until 3 months after the blood test came back. I was supposed to keep eating gluten during this time. Well why would I continue doing something that I know to be harmful for 3 more months to just get this test? So I did quit gluten and had the biopsy. It was negative for celiacs. I continued gluten free with iron supps and my ferritin came back up to a reasonable, but not great level of around 30-35.  Could there be something else going on? Is there any reason why my antibodies would be high (>80) with a negative biopsy? could me intestines have healed that quickly (3 months)?  I'm having a hard time staying gluten free because I am asymptomatic and i'm wondering about that biopsy. I do have the celiacs gene, and all of the antibody tests have always come back high. I recently had them tested again. Still very high. I am gluten free mostly, but not totally. I will occasionally eat something with gluten, but try to keep to a minimum. It's really hard when the immediate consequences are nil.  with high antibodies, the gene, but a negative biopsy (after 3 months strict gluten-free), do i really have celiacs? please say no. lol. i think i know the answer.  Asa

      I have had a long year of testing unfortunately still not diagnosed , although one thing they definitely agree I'm gluten intolerant, the thing for me I have severe back troubles they wouldnt perform the tests and I couldn't have a full MRI because I'm allergic to the solution , we tryed believe me  I tryed lol , another was to have another blood test after consuming gluten but it makes me so bad I tryed it for only a week, and because I have a trapped sciatic nerve when I get bad bowels it sets that off terribly so I just take it on myself now , I eat a gluten free diet , I'm the best I've ever been , and if I slip I know it so for me i have my own diagnosis  and I act accordingly, sometimes it's not so straight forward for some of us , for the first time in years I can plan to go out , and I have been absorbing my food better , running to the toilet has become occasionally now instead of all the time , i hope you find a solution 🤗

I finally requested the TTgIgA test in 2023 when I was well and truly done with the chronic fatigue and feeling awful. My numbers were off the charts on the whole panel.  they offered me an endoscopic biopsy 3 months later, but that i would need to continue eating gluten for it to be accurate. so i quit eating gluten and my intestine had healed by the time i had the biopsy (i'm guessing??). Why else would my TTgIgA be so high if not celiacs? Anyway, your ferritin will rise as your intestine heals and take HEME iron (brand 4 arrows). I took 20mg of this with vitamin c and lactoferrin and my ferritin went up, now sits around 35.  you will feel dramatically better getting your ferritin up, and you can do it orally with the right supplements. I wouldn't get an infusion, you will get as good or better results taking heme iron/vc/lf.

I actually looked up true/false negative/positive as it pertains to testing. The term "false negative" would be correct if you are positive (have anti-bodies) and the test did not pick them up. That would be a problem with the "test" itself. If you were gluten-free and got tested, you more than likely would test "true" negative or just negative. This means that the gluten-free diet is working and no anti-bodies should be present. I know it sounds confusing and if you don't agree feel free to respond.

If I really do have it then they may have increased risk.
