Traveling

My uncle passed away suddenly and I am going to have to travel tonight to S.C.

We are driving all night. My question is what do I take with me? The next few days

my diet is going to be turned upside down. I called my DR. and he told me to

make sure and take Imodium with me and to eat carefully. Any advice???

I never travel without some microwave cans of Progresso Chicken Wild Rice soup, you can even find them at drug stores. Pack a cooler with your bread, nut butter, protein bars, whatever else you'd eat at home. We were traveling recently and I ran to the supermarket, bought a rotiserie chicken and small thing of mayo, threw in some dried cranberries and viola - chicken salad.

Take care!

You can take trail mix, almonds, Clif Nectar Bars, Organic Food bars, Alpsnack bars, fruit, veggies, Corn Thins or rice cakes with peanut butter, corn chips, a bag of Tinkyada and a jar of sauce (if you'll have access to a kitchen). I'll often bring a big cooler and put as much stuff in it as possible. Carry food around with you so you're never in a situation where you'll eat something potentially unsafe because you're hungry.

Thank you for your kind words. It means so much at this time.

Thank you for the advice on the foods to take. I haven't had to travel since my dx

and appreciate all the advice.

I'm so sorry for the loss of your uncle. This is a trying time, with out having to worry about to eat.

My suggestions are:

take a cooler, yogurt, cheese, corn tortillas, lunch meat-you can make a quick roll up sandwich that way

Lara bars

Nut thins

if you have time make a pan of brownies

nuts

That's all I can think of, everyone else had excellent suggestions. I'm just so sorry. I hope you journey is safe.

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
