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.

      How can you be negative for HLA?   What markers did you have here? Curiouser and curiouser...

      Yes, I have noticed a big difference.  I had serious malnutrition symptoms that my doctors couldn't figure out, so they blamed me, said I was "depressed" and washed their hands of me.  At home, I could feel myself dying, and, with nothing left to lose, I relied on knowledge from my microbiology and nutrition classes at university.  I went gluten free.  I started taking vitamins according to my nutritional deficiency symptoms.  Vitamins worked.  My health improved.  Now I'm here to help others.  Celiac disease causes malabsorption which results in malnutrition.  Doctors don't recognize the symptoms of Celiac disease and malnutrition. Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing and digestion, improves diabetes and neuropathy and much more.  TTFD (Thiamax or TTFD-B1 Max) helps with brain function, neuropathy and lots more.  Every cell in the body needs thiamine to make energy so the cell can function.  Without sufficient thiamine, mitochondria die.  Every cell also needs thiamine and the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes.  Thiamine has antiviral and antibacterial properties.   We may not be getting sufficient thiamine from our diets if we eat a lot of carbohydrates.  The more carbs one eats the more thiamine is needed to process them into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine, the body stores the carbs as fat. This is called high calorie malnutrition.   We may not be getting sufficient thiamine from our diets if we eat a gluten free diet.  Gluten free flours and processed foods are not required to be enriched nor fortified with vitamins and minerals like their gluten containing counterparts.  Meats are the best sources of thiamine, but some veggies (beans, potatoes, squash) and fruits (citrus and berries) contain some thiamine.    Explore thiamine more here: https://hormonesmatter.com/thiamine-deficiency-causes-problems/

      Yes, I would be good with the diagnosis.  While NCGS isn't a malabsorptive disease like celiac disease, inflammation and restricted diets can impact Vitamin D levels.  Recovery from either disease requires avoiding gluten.  celiac disease may take a longer recovery than NCGS because in celiac disease there is intestional damage to the cilia that has to self repair in addition to the nutritional deficiencies.   Nonceliac Gluten Sensitivity Dr. Weston Price's research in the 1930s showed that diets rich in minerals and fat-soluble vitamins (A, D3, K2) promoted well-mineralized teeth, while deficiencies led to weaker enamel. Fatty liver, Intermittent diarrhea, Severe abdominal distension Choline deficiency causes abnormal deposition of fat in the liver, which results in a condition called nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. In some people, choline deficiency causes muscle damage. https://lpi.oregonstate.edu/mic/other-nutrients/choline    Choline is a large part if the bile salts for fat digestion, Acetycholine, a neural transmitter, mitochondria membrane structure, and along with folate, B12, and B6 recycles homocysteine  High homocysteine can damage artery linings. Low vitamin D levels are associated with increased symptoms of depression and anxiety,  autoimmune diseases and most of your symptoms.

      Yes, if you are convinced gluten is causing you problems then it would seem to come down to NCGS but you may also have other intolerances.

      There are huge categories of gluten-free foods, are there any particular types of foods that you are trying to find?
