Traveling and staying healthy is difficult enough without adding food restrictions into the mix. Then\u00a0add having a\u00a0toddler with food restrictions makes it extra challenging. I do my best to feed the kids before we fly,\u00a0but if a two-year-old isn’t hungry, there is no forcing it. Or they could be in a growth spurt and have a bottomless pit for a stomach that day. As we all know, you cannot bring opened food and drinks through security. Sometimes they won’t even let in unopened food and drinks if the TSA employees are on a power trip. (Totally had food and drinks thrown away before, ugh!) Flying gluten-free can be a challenge if unprepared or your food gets tossed. Luckily the gluten free movement is big enough now that if one looks hard enough, there are a few options. Thank goodness!! Here are my go-to options when traveling:<\/p>\n

Starbucks:<\/span><\/h2>\n

kind bars<\/p>\n

air popped popcorn<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/a>Mom In The Raw<\/a> bars<\/span><\/p>\n

\"gluten<\/a>\"starbucks<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"gluten<\/a><\/h2>\n

The airport stores often have:<\/span><\/h2>\n

organic dried fruits<\/p>\n

\"airport<\/a><\/p>\n

nuts<\/p>\n

jerky (just look for the words “GLUTEN FREE” on the packaging)<\/p>\n

potato chips (potato, oil, salt, and hey they’re gluten free!)<\/p>\n

and certain brands of fruit snacks\/gummies (always check the labels)<\/p>\n

Also, thirst quenching water and 100% fruit juices.<\/p>\n

Terminal Restaurants<\/h2>\n

Restaurants in the terminals can be hit or miss. I’ve found it really depends on the city and the chain. As food allergies have come to the forefront of awareness, many restaurants at least try to have one option for patrons. It is often salads, which as a salad lover I am okay with, but sometimes you can get burgers and veggies with a dip. Always talk with the staff, ask for the allergy-friendly menu and if needed, ask for the chef or head cook. They are trained to know this stuff, so they can always give you the best answer.<\/p>\n

One more tip<\/h2>\n

You are now more prepared to fly gluten free without risking getting sick or hogging the bathroom! Here is a quick tip:\u00a0Taking digestive enzymes (like this one<\/a><\/span>) before traveling can help ease any accidental gluten ingestion. While you don’t want to intentionally eat gluten while traveling, it can be hard to avoid it when options are limited and you’re starving. Digestive enzymes can help ease the effects.<\/p>\n
