They don't allow any liquids (even semi-liquids, like shampoo, hair gel etc.), but solid food is not a problem. I know, because I had two teenagers go back to Germany this past week, one on Monday with Transat, and one yesterday with British Airways. Even the one with British Airways was fine with solid food.

so.... I accidentally got on the plane with a drink... lol.. I don't know how it happened.. but I was in a rush ran into Cibo at JFK and grabbed food and drink for the plane.. totally forgetting drinks weren't allowed... when I got on the plane I thought UT-OH... I had a HORIZON Strawberry Milk... I went without drink because I was afraid of being attacked by an undercover cop for drinking milk... lol... whoops.. but I did find 2 gluten free items in Cibo.. a sesami bar that was OK.. but not worth the fat... and this chocolate popcorn that was pretty good and low fat :)

      Healthy Gluten Free Foods low sugar that you found?

      By xxnonamexx · Posted

      I noticed eating gluten-free or CGF foods have higher sugar and sodium some. No added sugar protein bars I found better with plant fiber. I wanted to know what are you go to besides whole fruits/veggies that you find are healthy for you where you can feel eating normal without hurting yourself or health. I was looking into subscription based like Thrift to see if there is something that is healthier CGF that can make me feel normal. Thanks

      Thankyou because I met up with K B with well known bay area hospital once and she said she knows I don't like to take meds, I said thats incorrect, I have issues.Thats the one that said I was deemed " unruly " when she admitted I was celiac when I asked why am I going through this.

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By trents · Posted

      Cristiana, that sounds like a great approach and I will be looking forward to the results. I am in the same boat as you. I don't experience overt symptoms with minor, cross contamination level exposures so I sometimes will indulge in those "processed on equipment that also processes wheat . . ." or items that don't specifically claim to be gluten free but do not list gluten containing grains in their ingredient list. But I always wonder if I am still experiencing sub acute inflammatory reactions. I haven't had any celiac antibody blood work done since my diagnosis almost 25 years ago so I don't really have any data to go by.

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      I've been reflecting on this further. The lowest TTG I've ever managed was 4.5 (normal lab reading under 10).  Since then it has gone up to 10.   I am not happy with that.  I can only explain this by the fact that I am eating out more these days and that's where I'm being 'glutened', but such small amounts that I only occasionally react. I know some of it is also to do with eating products labelled 'may contain gluten' by mistake - which in the UK means it probably does! It stands to reason that as I am a coeliac any trace of gluten will cause a response in the gut.  My villi are healed and look healthy, but those lymphocytes are present because of the occasional trace amounts of gluten sneaking into my diet.   I am going to try not to eat out now until my next blood test in the autumn and read labels properly to avoid the may contain gluten products, and will then report back to see if it has helped!
