Has anyone done SCD in China?

[Guest guest]

We are going to China in November to adopt a baby girl and are hoping

to bring along our four year old daughter who is on SCD. Has anyone

managed to travel successfully in Mainland CHina on SCD? I'm concerned

that most meats are premarinated in soy sauce and dressed in cornstarch.

We'll be staying in 5 star hotels (in Beijing, Nanchang and Guanzhou),

and my sister, who is fluent in Mandarin, will be along to translate

our dietary needs.

we plan to bring along nuts, dried fruits and veggies, and homemade

seed crackers and beef jerky. Still, we will largely be dependant on

restaurant food. We'll have a hot water heater in our room and a

fridge but no stove and probablyh no microwave. Also, it may not be

that easy to get to the market.

If we have no choice but to permit an infraction, which is worse: meat

dressed in soy sauce (which contains gluten) and cornstarch, or rice?
