Frustrated Traveler

Recommended Posts

Aack! I'm so aggrivated. I just hate to travel with my daughter, because every single time we travel, she gets glutened!

This time we went to see my brother, who is a minister. He took us to church. I packed my daughter some gluten-free cookies for snack time, and I told the Sunday school teacher, please don't let her use anything but Crayola crayons or Elmer's glue, and don't even let her TOUCH the other kids' cookies at snack time.

When I came to pick up my daughter after Sunday school, she had played with wheat-based real playdough, then the Sunday school teacher had cleaned her up with alcohol wipes! No! No! No! :angry:

On the seven hour drive home from this vacation, Annie cried for forty-five minutes because her tummy hurt, and then once we were home, she had diarrhea and stomach cramps for 24 hours. :(

I hate to live life in a bubble, but how do I master the problems associated with traveling? Everywhere we go, someone glutens my kid inadverdently! :huh:

Now we're preparing for a trip to go see the in-laws. Heavy sigh... I've packed up all the food I think we'll need: gluten-free flours, mixes, sauces, dressings, snacks, cookies, etc... What are some of the useful tips you other moms and dads can give me about traveling gluten-free with kids?

      Hello, I was very stick,  with flu like symptoms, but my virus panel came back negative and we couldn’t figure out what’s going on. The doctor then added a celiac panel.  Has anyone ever had such a dramatic change?  What are the odds this is true celiac I am going to have an endoscopy, but it’s expensive and I just feel like why can’t the labs be enough?

      Eating out in general is full of risks, but this article may help:

      This kind of question is always difficult to give a definitive answer to because of so many variables. One such variable is the sensitivity of the individual celiac to small amounts of gluten cross contamination. An amount that causes a reaction in one celiac many not in another, or at least not be discernable which, of course, does not exactly equate to being "safe".

      I don't live in the US, but based on this thread, I wouldn't risk it:   https://www.reddit.com/r/glutenfree/comments/1n2ehw8/cracker_barrel/   This app is helpful: https://www.findmeglutenfree.com/

      I see that Cracker Barrel restaurants have a gluten free menu (not all locations, but one confirmed that they do). I was wondering if it is safe for my 5 year old son with celiac disease?
