30 lbs of food??

What did you bring??

I can’t imagine carrying so much

food around Europe and India!!

I can’t eat sugars either. And I am

cutting down on grains as well (cause they are fattening me up).

The good thing of being undiagnosed was

that I was very skinny, and then since I discovered kiniikinink foods I have

been eating a lot!

So now I am into watching more my sugar

intakes as well as my grains.

Mike, have you been to India??

Love

guys a question here!

Buy a lunch bag with

pockets for ice-packs. Pack it with plastic containers of fruit and

zip-lock (sealed) baggies with peanut butter and jelly (GF bread of

course). I’ve made trips to Japan that way. I actually

brought 30lbs of food with me, which customs was interested in but let me slide

after I explained they were not gifts or imports.

Cheers,

Mike

Subject: [ ] HI guys a

question here!

I am

traveling to India in February and since I am celiac and milk intolerant the

airline company has a menu to choose from either GF or MF.

If I eat milk

or gluten I get very sick so I don’t know what to do.

Do you guys

have any suggestions?

I can’t

bring my own food because it is a very long haul.

Love

Hello ,

I travel regularly abroad, and I never touch plane food. I have cow dairy intolerance, and I do not eat refined sugar either. Plus, I eat organic and avoid chemical residues in my food, GMO's, or irradiated food or meat loaded with hormones and drugs while I am in the U.S.

However I am doing very well in taking my own food for the plane, for example: rice crakers, rice chips, dry seaweed "crunchies", home made salad in a plastic container you can discard in the plane with quinoa, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc. depending on the season, goat yogurt, goat cheddar cheese, cold sliced organic turkey or cooked shrimps, almond butter, fruits, Pamela's cookies (not organic, but not GMO"s, I asked) or home made if I have the time before flying, and I have plenty for my 20 hours or so of travelling. And if weight is an issue for you, none of this food is fattening either. When I come back, it is easier because I have plenty of choice of healthy gluten-free food overthere to take with me for the flight. If you need to refrigerate some food in the plane, just ask to the attendant for a little place in their fridge, they usually are accomodating. From experience, I would not even try to eat plane food because the risk of contamination with gluten food is very high.

Enjoy a smooth trip to India, great Dharma practice, and beware about the cleanliness of your food and your food dishes overthere!

Hello ,

Many people have a cow dairy intolerance and digest well unpasteurized goat or sheep dairy, I am one of them! Regarding the Pam's cookies, I don't know, weight has never been an issue for me. If you eat healthy and have a healthy life style, you should stabilize a healthy weight easy. A lot of monasteries in India have a fridge, hopefully the one where you go has one, if it can help you.

Best wishes,

France

I will then do that! God I hate carrying

food!

I am going to a Monastery and the monks there

are very aware of my sickness and they told me to just bring my medicines that

they will be cooking GF for me. I was thinking about bringing almond butter and

hol grain crackers but I don’t know if it needs refrigeration (once I am

in India I don’t know if there is a fridge

there)

One thing, if you have milk intolerance, how

come you can eat goat’s dairies?

Did any of you tried the garden of life supplements?

I just discovered them and I am so happy!

France…Pam’s cookies fatten you up!! J

,

I will also put in my vote for bringing your own food. My experience with international traveling is limited to one trip to Greece; I traveled with my 2 celiac boys and celiac husband on British Airways. My husband is a seasoned international traveler, and he refused to order the gluten-free meal! He said he usually did better with the regular meal than the GF ones, and I thought he was nuts! So we ordered 3 GF meals and one regular meal, and I surely lived to regret it. Some of the highlights were stale rice cakes, a lovely pound cake whose first ingredient was wheat flour (it was labeled gluten-free; I know they eat "de-glutenized" wheat flour in Britian, but I wasn't going to take any chances), chicken too tough to cut or even bite (I was getting desperate!), and some kind of boiled beef that smelled just a few days too old to consider eating. My kids wouldn't touch a thing. Thank goodness there was a Mcs in Heathrow!!! My husband was served a lovely salmon filet with rice (he took a risk, but didn't get sick).

On longer domestic flights, I have done well by packing a backpack (I use one that has rollers) with GF food. I have a small, soft-side cooler that fits inside. I freeze a couple of small water bottles (as it melts, you can drink the water) to keep the food cold. I pack plenty of easy-to-eat snack foods like nuts, crackers, cheese (you may know of some non-dairy cheese you can bring), cold cuts, cookies, and dried fruits. On the way back, you can re-freeze the water bottles (if the monks have a freezer!) and pack up any leftovers from the trip out and whatever you can scrounge from the monks. You could also pack a few things in your suitcase for the way back. This may sound like a hassle, but it is better than being sick or starving.

I haven't had many problems with security; once a guard asked me to drink water from each bottle, another time a guard wanted to sample the homemade chocolate chip cookies (she was kidding--I offered her one but she refused).

Enjoy India. Sounds like a wonderful retreat. I am guessing you are going alone and leaving the kids with Dad.

Pam

My real big problem is the dairy, I get

totally sick within ½ hour of ingesting milk.

Lufthansa has the option either GF or MF

Maybe I should ask MF and then hope to get

a steak uh?

I will try to bring my food as well just

in case!

How did the meeting go?

Love
