Travel required - please help

Post by onebigpill »

I have to travel to Seattle this week. I’m only 1 week into a recovery diet. I scoped out Whole Foods and figure I might be able to buy ready made paleo salmon (salt, pepper, olive oil) and raw cut sweet potato or butternut squash, which I would need to cook.

How in the world does anyone travel AND eat?

Thinking of packing cooked meet. Maybe veggies too.

Any suggestions?

1. make sure your accommodation has cooking function as part of the room
2. When travelling for work I would take some pre made safe meals frozen in small cooler bag/esky bag as additional luggage on the plane so I had some safe meals pre made (stew type meals with meat and safe veggies)
3. pre cooked meats, avocado are some of my safe snacks
4. If I had my safe breakfast, I could last the work day with snacks (meats on rice crackers type thing) until I got back to the accommodation at night
5. Back when I was travelling for work I also had rice protein powder that I could mix with coconut water if needbe.


I managed to do a 4 week trip to France (from Australia) for work within the first 12 months of my Dx. it was 36 hour transit each way
we have a travel section with lots of info

Gabes,

Thank you for your advice. I did my best to travel with my own food, but it didn't work out perfectly, and I'm back to a flare.

I've tried to find rice cakes, but all appear to be made from brown rice. Do we need to stick with white rice only?

I haven't tried avacado, but if it worked, that would be a nice addition to my recovery diet.

Thanks for your advice!
