    I don't know about this airline in particular. If available, I order the gluten free meal. I have had fairly good luck with the gluten free meals on other airlines. I also bring along plenty of food just in case the meal is questionable or does not make it on the plane (yes, this has happened). The airline website or customer service maybe able to...

    I have a memory twin foam bed topper for the king size bed. I love it. My husband tried it and hated it. I am also a light sleeper so I have a white noise machine to mask noise, such as my husbands snoring. I got mine from this website: Open Original Shared Link Hope you resolve you sleep issues.

    No advice, hope your hand gets better.

    In my opinion you need to locate a new GI. Your blood tests specifically for celiac will come back negative because you have been gluten free. The only reason to have additonal tests is to diagnose another problem. Hope your feel better.

    Yasim birthcontrol pills are gluten free but not lactose free.

    Helena, another option for making meals with meat is to premake the meals at home. Meal suggestions are spegetti sauce with meat, chili with meat or beef stew. I freeze them is the serving sizes I expect to need an put them in the ice chest.

    I have watched In-n-Out cook there fries. Whole potatoes go into the potato slicer and straight into the dedicated deep frier. These are my favorite french fries.

    I agree with mamaw the RV is the way to go if you go out a lot. We have never gotten an RV because we would only use it one week a year. You could also look at renting an RV.

    Look on rvtrader.com if you are going to look for a used trailer or RV. If you don't want an RV consider staying in a renting a place with a kitchen. When we go on vacation I search the internet for condo rentals, cabins and long term stay hotels (you don't have to stay long term). Marriott has both the TownPlace suites and Residence Inn. TownPlace...

    I was thinking about non persishable ittems such as gluten free bars (Lara, Enjoy Life, Glutino etc...), Dry soup like Tai Kitchen, gluten free cereal, rice bread, Glutino Preztels, peanut butter and jelly. The rice bread is iffy is since most do not have preservitives. These are not full meals but could tied you over until you can locate a meal. I...

    Celiac is considered a disability under the American Disabilities act. With proper medical documentation she may qualify for support from the university disability office. They maybe able to assist with the problem of the meal plan and other accomdation she may need to stay healthy. My son qualifies for other reasons other than celiac. I have found...

    If you know where you will be staying you might consider mailing food to one or more of the hotels in advance before you leave. You would need to contact the hotels first to see if they are willing to accept and hold the package. Have a great trip.

    I basically follow the same strategies as ArtGirl. In 29 years I have never had a restaurant ask me to leave.

    Is it possible that you were sick while at home during the college break due to cross contamination? Another possibility is that you were infected by something like a stomach virus. For me the symptoms are similar to a glutening. If you are still sick even when gluten free without getting better there maybe another illness or intolerance. In my opinion...

    As everyone has said natural cheese is gluten free. If you do not have a gluten free household check on how everyone is preparing meals with the cheese. Cross contamination can happen if the cheese is put down on the counter where bread is being used or the cheese is cut with the same knife used for bread. For many years I resolved this issue by having...

    If this is like the Ready Pac Grand Parisian I buy from Costco the dressing and salad toppings come in sealed bags. I have not checked out the dressing or toppings as to there gluten free status. There is no obvious gluten in the ingredients though. I only eat the greens and leave the rest for the everyone else. Eating only the greens has not caused me...

    I'm with kbtoyssni, I just bring in my food in a place where I don't think I can eat. I make sure the food is not something that needs to be reheated. Sometimes this is a full meal or a partial meal to supplement what I am able to order off the menu. I will order a drink. Also, in time eating different food will not bother you.
  20. Phyllis28
    I am guessing but I think you will probably find more things you can eat ordering the gluten free meal. Go to the airlines website and see if they have sample menus or call the airline. I know American Airlines has sample menus. You will need to also bring your own food on the airplane. I always make sure that I have 50% more food than I think I...

    Bake Enjoy Life chocolate chips into Namaste Foods Muffin Mix. Namaste Spice Cake mix is also very good. I still have to try their other mixes.

    I use Enrico's Pizza sauce, Boar's Head Pepperoni, chedder and white cheese. Lands End Chedderella works well. Boars Head also has a cheese similar to the Chedderella.

    I also travel on business. Celiac is covered by the American Disabilities act. You could ask the person who is ordering the food to order for one less person. You should still be able to drink the soda. Next, you could start calling to locate the person in the company who can authorize reimbursement of your meals while on travel. Below is a basic description...

    I agree with loco_ladi. Your health should be the priority. A gluten free household is best but a gluten limited household can work. My house is gluten limited, basically bread and cereal. It is this way because I do the food shopping and cooking. I simply don't cook meals I can't eat. Your kids can eat gluten food outside the house. You might want...

    I don't know about Kroger brand Chili Powder. I use The Spice Hunter Chili Powder Blend. I use a small amount of white rice flour to thicken the Chili when it is done.
