Guest guest Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 , how far are you into the diet? Last weekend I went to visit some friends for three days. Here is what I took (using SCD legal ingredients): two quart jars of yoghurt ripe bananas peanut butter hard-boiled eggs cheese (I sliced it before I packed it) carrots (cut into sticks) yoghurt dip (made out of dripped yoghurt and some spices) a small container of honey cheese cake paper plates a couple of forks, knives and spoons napkins While there, we went out to eat a couple of times. One time I had broiled salmon and a salad, another time I had a bun-less hamburger with steamed vegetables and a small salad. At their home, we broiled meat and fish, steamed vegetables and made salads. I made the dressings for the salad to be SCD legal and they loved it. It will be much harder when I visit my family in Germany in the fall ..... where bread and potatoes rule ...

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 I bought a mini travel fridge that I can put in the car, and an adapter plug that also plugs in the wall. It helps when I am on the road. I go very simple- yogurt, honey, peppermint tea, a jar of nut butter, cooked apples, chicken breasts and hamburger patties- cooked and frozen ahead of time, cheese. Others on this board have traveled and are more imaginative than I am! Yes- paper plates, spoons, a mug you can put in the microwave. Once my hubby made a remark about me not being able to eat out in restaurants, and I told him I would rather be well, and keep him company. When the family wants to go someplace like Asian, or Mexican, I just have some tea and eat later in the car.
