Guest guest Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 Joanna, thank you for great list. I will include it in my own archives. I have also found another food very helpful and satisfying and often available. Eating a few olives can be quite satisfying. I juts re-re- checked, and Elaine was ok with them. I prefer the black ones; E did not specify on the Q & A list I read. Also, I now find that airports often have bananas, and if ripe, I find that a banana can really tide me over. I was--and I guess will again- having small jars in which I put pecans with me. I sort of over did them for my system, and have had to back off whole nuts. I have also had plain carrot juice when traveling and food-less. Not too much: carb-y. And, let's say, it will not promote c.

This is obviously a personal list of foods- you may be more advanced than me, but these are just the things that I tolerate right now! First off, I do a very similar thing to PJ, which is to freeze whatever I can and let it naturally thaw and act as an ice pack. Things that work well for this: applesauce chicken bread hamburgers/meat patties squash & nut butter brownies banana nut muffins chicken soup I am a big fan of the *soft* thermos bags (so that at the end of your trip when you eat up all your food, you can collapse them into your suitcase). I use a small one in my suitcase to put in yogurt and applesauce (liquids!)- you would also have to pack the soup if you were taking that. The baggage fees stink, but you have to check these things. I also add a bag of frozen peas or beans as an extra ice pack (even better if you can cook them up and eat them at your destination!). After many " yogurt explosions " (ick) I like to use the screw top round tupperwares and then put those in a ziploc bag and then into the thermos bag. For carrying on food, I use a bigger thermos bag. Here is what I tend to pack: hard boiled eggs meat patties chicken bread sliced cheese cheese chips squash & nut butter brownies banana nut muffins ripe bananas ripe avocado I also add a few bags of frozen veggies to keep everything cool. I still don't trust getting ice packs through TSA. And I carry all of this food on with me because if I had it in luggage that didn't get through I'd be screwed! I pack my food like I pack my clothes- I lay it all on the countertop by the day and make sure I have enough to get me through. That way it is also pre-portioned in tinfoil or bags or whatever and I can also pack up for for the day if necessary. Another life saver has been my ziploc bag of condiments. I put in salt and pepper packets (I take them whenever I can from cafeterias, food courts, etc), honey packets (from Starbucks), plastic utensils and some tea bags. OH MY GOSH I must sound like a kleptomaniac. I might actually have a honey stealing problem. Maybe there's a list serv out there for that. LOL. And that's it! Just like every thing else with this diet, it all takes practice. On my last 2 trips I've been lucky and have been able to get great steamed/boiled seafood. So I haven't had to worry about packing much for dinners. On my last trip I knew I would get desperate while being away for 5 days for something sweet, so I actually made some almond butter with sea salt and honey and ate that straight up after dinner! Yum! (of course that also tends to do me in... man, you can't win sometimes Best to all, Joanna SCD 9/2009, Crohn's 1992, 22.5mg Prednisone Back to top Reply to sender | Reply to group | Reply via web post Messages in this topic (28) 5a.Re: Cocounut FlourPosted by: " Stacey " graciegelfling@... graciegelflingTue Jun 1, 2010 8:43 pm (PDT) I'm sure that subbing butter would work well. One of the reasons grapeseed oil is used is because it has a kind of buttery flavour.
