I'm taking my daughter to Disney in February, and I have very little concern about dining in "the world." However, I do have to take "extra" food and snacks for her - just in case. As we all know... we simply *have* to be prepared.

We'll only be gone for 3 nights (4 days) so I'm planning on taking a carry on with our clothing... and another small bag for foodstuffs. Are they going to give me a lot of flack for taking stuff "on board?" Should I go to the doctor and get some sorts of a letter notating her dietary restrictions??

TIA for your advice and opinions!

I just got back from a trip and took walnuts (in shell with nutcracker), avocado, salt & pepper, bars, onion. I didn't take my own water bottle. but I do the raw food thing, eating something like a whole avocado being a normal meal for me. But they didn't bother me about these foodstuffs -- I don't know about prepared foods. Good luck.

Just avoid liquids on board. You can check them, though.

As long as you do not bring any liquids or gel like substances (i.e. yogurt, cottage cheese ect...) you should be fine. You can by water, juice and/or soda on the other side of security.

Have a super trip.

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
