First Gluten Free Road Trip

I went 500 mile trip without once having to worry about where the rest stops were! Last time we made this trip I had to stop three times because of D. If I'd know going gluten free would have improved my life this much I wouldn't have hesitated to do it.

I hated traveling when the kids were that small. It is so nice when you can take DVD's to entertain. Of course I have kids who don't sleep in the car so it's really nice now that they are old enough to want to watch movies.

Good luck on the trip.

Thanks!

WHat kind of snacks did you take for the trip? I was going to make at least the car ride totally gluten-free (i'm the only one who is gluten-free right now) so that I don't have to figure out how to clean my hands so much before I eat a snack. Any suggestions?

I am one of the luck ones, in that, cross contamination doesn't bother me. It takes quit a bit of gluten to set me off. My kids had gluten food, and fruit. My kids like pop tarts, you'd only have to open the bag, and not touch the food. Of course you kids are younger, so someones going to have to pick the peices out of the car seat later ;) .

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @yellowstone! The most common ones seem to be dairy (casein), oats, eggs, soy and corn. "Formed" meat products (because of the "meat glue" used to hold their shape) is a problem for some. But it can be almost anything on an individual basis as your sensitivity to rice proves, since rice is uncommonly a "cross reactor" for celiacs. Some celiacs seem to not do well with any cereal grains.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity? I've read that there are foods that, although they don't contain gluten, can cause problems for people with gluten sensitivity because they contain proteins similar to gluten that trigger a response in the body. I've seen that other cereals are included: corn, rice... also chicken, casein. I would like to know what other foods can cause this reaction, and if you have more information on the subject, I would like to know about it. Right now, I react very badly to rice and corn. Thank you.
