Advice need for traveling on the diet

February 13, 2001

My 4.5 year old daughter has been on the diet for about 2 months.

We're going to be traveling out of town for a wedding for 4 days

and staying at a hotel. I don't know if we'll have a refrigerator

or not. She loves GFCF nuggets and fries but I doubt the nuggets

will keep in just a cooler without a fridge. She loves french

toast and pancakes but I'm sure we can't get them gfcf in a

restaurant. She'll eat tofu and soy yogurt but again without

a fridge and traveling around town, it may be hard to keep

things cold. I've been baking some of her favorite foods

but I want her to have more than baked goods. She will still

eat some jarred baby food but her cousin who's the same age

will be there and I don't want my daughter to be teased. Any

advice for a limited food eater traveling away from home?

Thanks.

First, check with the hotel about the frig. If they don't have one

(which is rare these days), they will probably rent one for an extra

charge - and it's worth it. Then post to your listmates what town

you will be in, and they will let you know where you can buy the food

you need. Bring lots of staples & snack foods, just to have handy

what you need.

If the hotel has a restaurant, can you call ahead and ask if they can

prepared some gfcf foods for your child? It works with some places.
