Traveling On Tour Bus?

SO I'm overly excited that I may have the chance in the near future to go on the road and play music. At the same time I'm freaking out b/c the last thing I want is to get sick. There is a fridge and freezer on the bus so I suppose I could pre-make myself some meals, but the fridge is only so big and I'm not the only person who would be using it. I'm sure there will be a lot of eating out going on, but I try to stay away from that for obvious reasons. I'm sure I could find stores along the way when I need more food. I cant rely on processed foods and need to eat a lot of veggies otherwise....C! God, this disease sucks sometimes!-lol...

Has anyone ever traveled on a bus or went on the road for a long time?? I have no idea how long i'll be gone, I probably shouldnt even worry about it right now until I find out......but all these things go through my mind since I always think way ahead...sometimes it's a good and bad thing-lol and then theres the issue of being able to work-out. I need to go running at least 5 times a week otherwise I turn miserable! and nobody else that I'll be traveling with is athletic...they are quite the oppositte-lol

We have an RV and we travel for a week or so at a time sometimes for work. The tour bus will also have a stove so you'll be able to pan fry fresh meats and what not. Luckily there are thousands of naturally gluten free foods. I'm sure you have your own lists of those. Stock up on specialty items that you'll need like flour for coating meat, crackers, Tinkyada pasta, etc. You should be able to fit them in a compartment somewhere. When we travel I rely heavily on a portable Weber gas grill. We eat a lot of baked potato, steak or chicken, and Steamfresh veggies. These things are all found easily in most any grocery store. :) Hot dogs and hamburgers also are easy if you don't need/want a bun. We never do. Hormel has a gluten free list and you can find most of those items in any store as well. Their microwave meals are easy and quick. Don't worry too much about it. I would also either bring your own personal toaster or get some ToastaBags so you don't gluten yourself if you toast a bagel or bread. :) And BTW, congratulations!!!

Providing you can stay well, it sound like a great experience!

Read Open Original Shared Link thread and PM the thread originator for more ideas. She sounds like she has been doing it for awhile.

      In general with pharmaceutical products cross-contamination is a much lower risk.

      Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Just so you'll know, once you have been gluten-free for any length of time, it will invalidate testing for celiac disease.

      Yes. I have not been tested for celiac. It took forever to get diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. lol. I have an appointment with my regular GP later this month and will convey my findings on improved symptoms and see what his thoughts are. Thank you.

      @Grahamsnaturalworld, It's never too late.   Have you been checked for Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth?  SIBO can cause ongoing symptoms.  Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) and Histamine Intolerance (HIT) can also be the cause of ongoing symptoms.  The AIP diet can help with these by starving out SIBO bacteria and calming the immune system. Do you include dairy in your diet?  Casein in dairy can cause an autoimmune response the same as to gluten.  Have you been checked for lactose intolerance?  Some people lose the ability to produce the enzyme, lactase, needed to digest lactose, the sugar in dairy because the villi where the lactase enzyme is made are...
