I am flying to the Honduras in a few months, and I need advice. I have flown and traveled a ton since being dxed and never had a problem, but I was wondering if anyone knew what the international restrictions were on bringing food into a foreign country are. I was going to pack a couple of cases of Lara bars and other pre-packaged food to hold me over when finding food will be a problem. Does anyone know?

It really depends on the regulations of the country that you are entering. Packaged food should be OK and I've never had a problem with anything sealed. It's the organic matter that isn't - produce, meat, etc. If you bring cooked food for the plane you have to dump it before clearing customs. There are usually signs and amnesty bins on the way to customs. I hope you have a great trip.

      Worried about being isolated

      By trents · Posted

      I would think that as long as you keep your food on a wrapper or on a paper plate you would not be at risk for cross contamination. You may be overthinking it all which is common for those in the first year of the celiac journey. But let me ask you. Are you feeling self-conscious about having a celiac diagnosis? I notice the term "isolated" in your thread title. Do you fear being shunned? I offer this video clip for your consideration:

      I’m worried about cross contamination, as people don’t clear up properly. I take my own lunch in a packed lunch box with my own cutlery, plate etc and wash it all at home everyday rather than using the schools communal options. There is always crumbs or food left out for us to share on tables etc.

      Welcome to the forum, @Tanya177! Help us understand why you don't eat with the other staff members at the present time. I'm assuming you already pack your own lunch rather than eating school cafeteria food. Surely there are other staffers who bring their own lunches. How would this be different if you did not have celiac disease?

      Thank you so much and I am still very careful not to eat it.

      I am a teacher in a primary school diagnosed with celiac disease 7 months ago. I eat my lunch in my classroom and pop into the staff room for a drink and a chat with colleagues after.  I have worked at the school for 14years.   I have been told that next year I am moving year groups and will be in another building where I don’t really know any of the other staff members.  The staff room in that building is tiny and there is really nowhere to sit. I am worried I am going to be isolated as by the time I’ve had my lunch gone over to the other building it will be time to go back and get ready for the afternoon. Am I being over anxious?  or is there something that I can ask for at work to help the situation.
