Road Trip w/ Food Allergies... Suggestions???
I need dietary help...
I am about to embark on a 4 day roadtrip along the east coast. I was recently diagnosed with several food allergies. My doctor has me eliminating several food items from my diet. *nice timing* All Cow's Milk (includes Yogurt, ice cream & other milk cultures) Melons Bananas Potatoes Pork Beef Chicken Ham (pork) Yeast Eggs Corn all nuts except seeds Iceberg & Romaine Lettuce Chocolate (not good, I'll miss that) all brown colas (because they have coca in them) wheat tea Apples Aged Cheese Vinegar & Soy products She also wants me rotating every 4 days the foods I do eat. So what's a girl to eat. I am relatively new to this whole new way of eating. When road trippen one has a tendency to eat junk along the way. I want to avoid doing that & stick to the diet she has me on as much as possible. Can anyone recommend any meals I can bring with me or places off I-95 where I can stop to get a healthy meal. Fast Food is definately OUT. Dang it dang it dang it lol I'll be traveling from Florida to Maine stopping in Casselberry, Fl - Richmond, Va. & Manchester, Ct. Any advice would be much appreciated. THANKS!

Road Trip w/ Food Allergies... Suggestions???
Wow! That's a tough one. It looks like you can eat fish, is that
right? How about citrus fruit? Beans and peas. Hmmm I'm thinking canned tuna and salmon (in the pouch), oranges, frozen peas, wasa crakers (I think that the Hearty Rye is wheat free). Can you have peanut butter (in other words, is that considered a legume seed or a nut by your doctor)? On 4/15/2004 10:46 AM, Kukie wrote: I need dietary help...

Road Trip w/ Food Allergies... Suggestions???
I know my previous post that lists the foods that I need to avoid, and it
seems extreme but its not forever rather just for about a month or so because my Doc says that many of the items on my list (with the exception of cow products, eggs, wheat, Yeast, bananas, chocolate & vinegar) will eventually be added back in my diet at least once a week without I'll effects. She wants to detox me 1st because apparently since I was eating all the wrong foods almost daily, I developed an infection in my intestines & my digestive system began to shut down. So she gave me a list of foods that I can eat during the adjustment not to mention a butt load of pills to take to get me back on track. The foods I can have a Seafood Turkey Duck Tuna Rice Pasta (that is wheat free) Fruit (except Cranberries, Melons & Bananas) Seeds Legumes Veggies (except iceberg & romaine lettuce) bran oatmeal coffee juices 7 up/sprite (clear sodas) Veggi, Olive, sunflower oils Honey Any Spice Jello Hard Candy Frozen Fruit Bars non dairy creamer goats milk & cheese Rice Milk Almond Milk Italian Ice Sorbet And that is about it. I have a feeling I will be doing a lot of cheating or starving on this road trip. I have been doing fine on the diet for the past few weeks but its the rotation thing I am having issues with. There is such little i can eat & she wants me to rotate what I eat every 4 days. It's been a challenge. A tasty one though because I have discovered a lot of new foods that I would have never tried before. Like vanilla rice milk YUM!!! Oh & I don't think I will ever miss Mayo again now that I discovered Tahini. Thats some yummy stuff espc. w/ tuna. |

I am about to embark on a 4 day roadtrip along the east coast. I was recently diagnosed with several food allergies. My doctor has me eliminating several food items from my diet. *nice timing* [more than usually hairy list] She also wants me rotating every 4 days the foods I do eat. So what's a girl to eat. I am relatively new to this whole new way of eating. When road trippen one has a tendency to eat junk along the way. I want to avoid doing that & stick to the diet she has me on as much as possible. This is too ambitious to start on when you're away from your own kitchen. Presumably the allergy isn't acutely life-threatening; so start the diet in earnest when you get back from your trip. Maybe you could eliminate one or two of the more important and manageable foods while you're away, but doing the whole shebang would leave you no mental energy to deal with whatever the trip is actually for. Finding alternatives takes practice. It doesn't help to treat a diet as if it were a conversion to a new religion. ======== Email to "j-c" at this site; email to "bogus" will bounce ======== Jack Campin: 11 Third Street, Newtongrange, Midlothian EH22 4PU; 0131 6604760 http://www.purr.demon.co.uk/purrhome.html food intolerance data & recipes, Mac logic fonts, Scots traditional music files and CD-ROMs of Scottish music. |

It sounds like you need more diner type places than fast food type
places. A diner will have oatmeal for breakfast and some kind of turkey or seafood for lunch. You could also pack appropriate bread/wrap type products and bring turkey cold cuts with you and a nice selection of appropriate fruits and vegetables. It also sounds like ethnic places might be good choices.

sounds like some kefir is in order
http://users.chariot.net.au/~dna/kef...t_kefir_grains or kumbacha tea. both really help with digestive problems including food allergies. a lot of times food allergies are caused by candida overgrowth. I make kefir with goats milk and it sure helps. -- Knight-Toolworks & Custom Planes Custom made wooden planes at reasonable prices See http://www.knight-toolworks.com For prices and ordering instructions. |

They sell kefir in grocery stores here (NE Illinois). it's not the same it is only a couple of cultures. the real thing has about 20 or so. plus it is dirt easy to make. add milk and in 24 hours you have kefir just leaving it on the counter. plus you can use any milk you want. -- Knight-Toolworks & Custom Planes Custom made wooden planes at reasonable prices See http://www.knight-toolworks.com For prices and ordering instructions. |

Certain starches and sugars feed yeast and bacterial overgrowth. home made yogurt is better then kefir? maybe the store bought kefir but not kefir made with kefir grains. yogurt is just one culture kefir is about 25. plus you can get rid of the lactose in kefir just by aging it. -- Knight-Toolworks & Custom Planes Custom made wooden planes at reasonable prices See http://www.knight-toolworks.com For prices and ordering instructions. |
