Travel Tips for Yeast Free/Wheat Free/Milk Free Diets
This page was first presented as a handout at the Autism Society of Wisconsin in April,2002, by Lori Kornblum. It is revised and presented in our book, An Extraordinary Power to Heal (2003), Bruce Semon, M.D., Ph.D. and Lori Kornblum. They also are the parents of an adolescent with autism who is on a yeast free, wheat free and dairy free diet. We hope that this is helpful information for people who are following any specialized diet and love to travel.
General information!
- Carry food with you for the entire trip.
- Double the amount of food you would expect to eat on an airplane. Expect delays!
- Order special meals on airplanes. The Diabetic meal usually is safest, with very plain food, no dressings or sauces.
- Plan ahead for eating in restaurants; see our tips on eating in restaurants.
Hotel Survival:
- Stay in a Hotel with a kitchen, such as a Residence Inn, TownPlace Suites (by Marriott), or any other “suite” hotel.
- Find corporate apartments that are fully furnished.
- Stay in mini-suite hotels with refrigerator and microwave.
- Last Resort: pack a single electric burner and an electric frying pan for cooking. Use lots of ice to keep foods in the cooler cool.
