Traveling And Frozen Foods.


Jaymie Jaymz

We're driving up to Kansas for the holidays and I'd like to take some frozen donuts, maybe some bread as well. How long can they be left out of the freezer?? Are they really that perishable? The drive will take a good seven hours before we reach the hotel and a fridge/freezer.

I really don't want to pack an ice chest. Space is limited in the car as it is.

Can they be kept in the fridge once they're defrosted? I would think it'd be fine to bring them along and pack them together in a bag in the car and then just pop them in the fridge once you're there.

I travel 15 hrs to get to KS and visit home! So, lucky you, lol! I would say that this is the time of year you shouldn't have to worry too much about keeping something cold enough. Put it in your trunk and in a place that doesn't cover and insulate them and they should be fine. I wouldn't think they are THAT perishable! Have a nice holiday and my prayers for safe travels.

Yes, they are going right into a fridge upon arrival. I think they'll be fine, too. I didn't even consider the cooler weather. That should help.

I'll have to take my chances either way. Can't imagine being around the gluten filled goodies all day and not having something sweet for myself. I'm such a sugar addict!

Thank you for the prayers! I'm a nervous nelly on road trips, especially if I'm not the one driving. Hehe.

Not sure why you want to come here to Kansas. It's very cold and they put a picture of wheat on the liscense plate. But, if you insist....just let me know when you plan to visit. :)

Haha. Well, it's the in-laws turn to have family out for Christmas this year, and that's about the only reason we're going up. I lived there for three years and still own a home in Junction City. Needless to say, I was happy to move away from the snow and tornadoes!

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified Gluten" in any given batch run. It just means there could be.

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.

      Are Bobresmill gluten free oats ok for sensitive celiacs?

      thank you both for the insights. i agree, im going to back off on dairy and try sucraid. thanks for the tip about protein powder, i will look for whey protein powder/drinks!   i don’t understand why my doctor refused to order it either. so i’ve decided i’m not going to her again, and i’m going to get a second opinion with a GI recommended to me by someone with celiac. unfortunately my first appointment isn’t until February 17th. do you think i should go gluten free now or wait until after i meet with the new doctor? i’m torn about what i should do, i dont know if she is going to want to repeat the endoscopy, and i know ill have to be eating gluten to have a positive biopsy. i could always do the gluten challenge on the other hand if she does want to repeat the biopsy.    thanks again, i appreciate the support here. i’ve learned a lot from these boards. i dont know anyone in real life with celiac.

      Let me suggest an adjustment to your terminology. "Celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" are the same. The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease does damage to the small bowel lining it often results in nutritional deficiencies such as anemia. NCGS does not damage the small bowel lining so your history of anemia may suggest you have celiac disease as opposed to NCGS. But either way, a gluten-free diet is in order. NCGS can cause bodily damage in other ways, particularly to neurological systems.
