Guest guest Posted October 21, 2001 Report Share Posted October 21, 2001 Here is an idea. Could you mail it ahead of time, so tha you don't have to carry it with you. Maybe not the whole bottle of probiotics, but some. Just an Idea. Carmen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2001 Report Share Posted October 21, 2001 , Actually, I had thought about that and had written that in my previous post(the one that got lost somewhere in computer land). If I check the cooler through-not take it as carry-on and have it all taped up, do you really think they would open it? I thought they only checked items that were carry ons. Does anyone know? I'm glad you brought that up, . Oh, we will also be flying from one international airport to another international airport-both in very, very large cities-so security would be tighter I would think...

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2001 Report Share Posted October 21, 2001 Janelle, I would not at all risk taking powdered milk and powdered mixes. They are way too expensive to risk it. When they made my mom open the rice milk and drink it, that was even before the anthrax outbreaks. BTW, they wouldn't have the time, equipment, or money to test it, so they would have to just throw it away. Here's what I would do: Take a big box, and mail your family all of your food. Insure it, then send it with plenty of time to spare. That way, you won't have to worry about suspicions at the airport, and heaven forbid they would lose your baggage. That happened last month to my father. It would be bad to have to wait a few days for your food to catch up to you, if it ever did.

Hi! I'm Cheryl. I have twin 6yo with Asperger's. I recently flew with my kids to a friend's. I took some snacks in our carry-on bags but I also mailed a big box of food, soy milk, etc. ahead. It allowed me to have only carry-on's which REALLY expedited the tight security at the airport. If you're able to ship food ahead & travel light, that's what I would recommend. It worked great! The shipping cost me $19.50 but it was well worth it to see my box of food at my friend's when I arrived. I sent it through the regular mail & it was not opened. Btw, we didn't have any criticisms about our diet. In fact, I had packed some yummy gfcf brownies and other special treats so the OTHER kids were saying, " Mom? Could we be on diets too?

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2001 Report Share Posted October 21, 2001 Just a thought maybe mail some of the stuff that could look questionable to security (like Dari free or baking supplies) ahead of time . Thanks , Valarie in ca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 22, 2001 Report Share Posted October 22, 2001 I just asked our service technicians who have traveled numerous times since the WTC disaster. They said everything is checked regardless if it is carry-on or check-in. They were checked so thoroughly that they even had to take their shoes off. Since they are repairmen they have to take tools, motors etc. They had to go through each item and demonstrate how they worked. I started sending a letter on our letterhead stating who they are, where they are going and what they will do there. This has made the airports less suspicious. My suggestion is to send back-up by mail just in case there is trouble at the airport. Make sure if at all possible, that the flours are in their original packaging. Include a copy of the receipt and maybe other cooking items to confirm the theme. As for what you take on the plane, take with you copies of receipts for the food items, copies of the recipes you intend to make out of them, any catalogs and if possible, a letter from a doctor stating your child is on a special diet and needs you to take food for him wherever you go. One plus is that a mother and child will draw much less suspicion than a single male. My hope and prayer for you is that as you get on the plane, you are surprised how easy everything went. Good luck! > , > Actually, I had thought about that and had written that in my > previous post(the one that got lost somewhere in computer land).

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2001 Report Share Posted October 22, 2001 One more thing about shipping flours. If you take them on the plane, make sure to take plenty ziplock bags with you. That way if they want you to open anything up, you have a place to put the opened package in without everything spilling all over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 22, 2001 Report Share Posted October 22, 2001 Hi Janelle, I am really behind in my email and have 193 messages left to read (jumping around in order too), but anyway, want to wish you fun on your trip. And in answer to some of your questions - don't bring dishes and worry about GFCF washing them - paper plate and paper cup the adventure. Someone posted about Miss Robens order being sent to where you're going - I think thats a great idea. Also disposable aluminum cookware for your roasting (I know about aluminum cookware but............) I would get premade sancks from Miss Robens sent so you don't have to bake and maybe some of those Cool Fruit ice pops she has. I know premade is more expensive but then family will not think " OH what a bother this diet is " and you'll have more time to enjoy your visit. Try and make up enough pasta at one time so that you can use it at one meal as pasta with sauce and use some of the pasta to make a cold pasta salad with gfcf mayo (add tuna if you use it or some chicken). Have fun!!!!!!! * * * \l/ * * * ( @ @ ) * * ---------o00--( _____ ) --00o--------- * * HAVE A GREAT DAY !!!!!!!!!!!! ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!
