Free Travel Tips:
Gluten Free Travel Flying: Feel Good In The Air!
I magine
being
trapt in a confined space for a long period of time, gluten free travel
flying means the difference between bliss and experiencing all
the side effects gluten has to offer, this though it potentially not
good for you or anyone sitting around you on the plane... avoid any
possible stomach upsets and discomfort from gluten by planning ahead.
You can
Learn
from These Gluten Free Travel Flying Tips.
When i was first diagnosed as gluten
free, I made the bad mistake of no
ordering a gluten free meal, So I made do, avoiding extra sauces, not
eating my bread, or cheesecake, or crackers on the plane... But gluten
is sneaky, it was everywhere, And on a 27 Hour Flight from Christchurch
To Sydney To Dubai To London... Its not the best time to anger
the tummy gods. After this uncomfortable flying experience,
I vowed to always come prepared, and have learn t the best ways
to
insure a gluten free flight. So here goes...
Order a
Coeliac Meal
Most airlines will prepare a special meal for you, when you order a
coeliac meal, Remember to book this with your travel agent, before you
go to ensure you get the meal.
Try a Fruit
Platter
If you are on a long journey, you are not really doing anything to burn
off all the meals you may have, so a fruit plate can be an excellent
gluten free choice.
Make
sure you
tell the Staff
Ensure you tell the staff that the gluten free meal is for you, this
will help ensure they do not serve it up to someone else.
It Your Pre
Ordered Meal Does Not Show Up
Preprepared a list of foods you can and cannot eat (this is one of the
best things you can do when traveling) this way the wait staff will be
able to narrow down the foods you will beadle to eat. I have heard of
people doing this, and being sent up to first class to have a meal
specially cooked for them.
Take a Snack
Take gluten free snacks with you, just ensure they are all eaten by the
time you get to your destination, or disposed off, you do not want a
nasty encounter with boarder patrol... or the hefty fine.
No Gluten Free
Option With Your Airline?
Eat Before you go, If you are full, you are less likely to eat a
regular meal which will upset your body.
Never Trust a
Regular Meal
I know from experience trusting a regular meal is a bad idea, you can
avoid things that obviously have wheat in them, but its used in so many
things to thicken, or glue foods together... you are playing with fire
if you do.
