Hi everyone!
While we're on the subject, I thought I'd give a couple of quick tips.
One thing I've added to my packing list is my food guide. That way if I
get to a city/store that doesn't carry my regular brand of something, I
can look up another brand that will be GF. I actually keep my food
guide in my car at all times now, so if I get to someone's house and
they have brand x of something and ask if it's ok for my son, I can
check it out. That way I don't have to just turn something down, or try
to decide from the list of ingredients.
My second travel tip is for flying. The last time we flew, I bought a
cheap styrofoam ice chest and filled it with food. If you're taking
casseroles, freeze them ahead of time and they can be your ice. Or
freeze a jug of water to put in with your food. Then tape the ice chest
VERY well with strapping tape (just in case it gets broken). The guy at
the check-in counter really gave me a hard time about checking the ice
chest (he said they get broken all the time, etc.), but we did it
anyway. It got there completely in tact. And I had the GF foods I
needed without having to find a health food store.
Happy traveling!
