So, without farther delay, here's a gluten gratis traveler's 12 Days of Christmas.
So, without farther delay, here's a gluten gratis traveler's 12 Days of Christmas.
1. On the first 24-hour interval of Christmas, a savvy celiac packed...two large suitcases, a backpack in addition to a soft cooler.
I'd love to state that I'm the sort of daughter who tin wing across the dry soil amongst only a carry-on for company. But, land I may live depression maintenance, celiac definitely isn't. So pack equally much equally yous intend yous need, in addition to don't experience guilty. I ended upward splitting my bags betwixt nutrient in addition to other life necessities (like clothe to hold upward a Colorado winter!), in addition to every inch of infinite was lay to good use!
2. On the 2d 24-hour interval of Christmas, a savvy celiac packed...a deconstructed brunch amongst all of her favorite things.
So what did I pack inward that small-scale cooler of mine? First of all, I basically used it equally my "carry-on" along amongst my backpack. Between those two, I brought a spread of my favorite (airport friendly) breakfast items, including:
- Oatless Oatmeal Crunchy Clusters. If you've ever had your oatmeal turned away because it contains too much liquid, this recipe is a gluten gratis traveler's best friend! I precisely made it the night before in addition to stored it inward a plastic container amongst strawberries in addition to 1 banana.
- Enjoy Life Trail Mix. Whether yous can't tolerate nuts, yous desire to accommodate flying passengers amongst allergies or yous precisely desire a delicious snack, yous can't acquire incorrect amongst smoothie topper, in addition to an fifty-fifty ameliorate snack on a plane!
- Mini baked pancakes. Since I knew my oatless oatmeal clusters wouldn't hold me over equally long equally a smoothie ordinarily does, I made some mini pancakes the night before my flight. These are winners for snacks or breakfast.
- Homemade granola. You didn't intend I'd forget my favorite purpose of breakfast, right? The truth is, flying is freakin' stressful, so comfort nutrient is a must. Snacky comfort nutrient that's also portable? Even better!
Basically, I'm sharing my breakfast spread to demo yous that yous tin all the same enjoy a healthy, homemade gluten gratis spread inward an airport. And amongst Einstein Bagels only a few feet away from my gate, I was rattling happy to lead hold my own process on-hand!

3. On the 3rd 24-hour interval of Christmas, a savvy celiac packed...a print-out of research on aerodrome eats.
Even if yous lead hold your bags stuffed amongst plenty Christmas treats to brand Santa jealous, it doesn't wound to produce a piffling query beforehand. After all, mistakes happen: yous forget your nutrient at home, it gets taken away past times security or you're just hungrier than yous expect.
In my case, I precisely spent a few minutes looking upward the gluten gratis options at Denver International Airport. While I didn't acquire the endangerment to effort it, an Udi's Cafe in addition to Bar apparently offers some pre-packed in addition to upon-order gluten gratis meals. I also spotted some gluten gratis snacks - similar Purely Elizabeth Granola in addition to dissimilar types of snack bars - at diverse nutrient shops inward the airport. When yous lead hold a back-up plan already inward mind, yous tin lead hold surprises (like flying delays...as many flying this concluding weekend in all probability experienced) inward stride.
Not my most Instagram worthy moment, but this repast did the trick!
4. On the quaternary 24-hour interval of Christmas, a savvy celiac packed...a dinner for subsequently inward representative of delays.
Speaking of delays, it's also a skilful thought to pack some other meal (either luncheon or dinner depending on your flying time) inward representative the aerodrome madness takes longer than yous expect. I ended upward chowing downwards on my leftover Chipotle land waiting at the baggage claim...and finishing it off land camping ground out on the aerodrome flooring in addition to waiting for my ride.

5. On the 5th 24-hour interval of Christmas, a savvy celiac packed...a plastic bag for H2O ice cubes.
And how should yous piece of occupation along your dinner cold hours after yous start pack it? First of all, yous mightiness desire to select a vegan or vegetarian choice in addition to therefore yous don't lead hold to worry virtually keeping meat cold. If yous lead hold a Chipotle craving the nighttime before, though, in addition to destination upward amongst a chicken burrito bowl, hither are some of the tricks I learned:
- Put your nutrient inward the freezer virtually an hr to an hr in addition to a one-half before yous exit for the airport. For my Chipotle, I precisely sealed it tight inward a plastic bag, in addition to popped it inward the freezer. Seven hours later, it was perfectly defrosted in addition to all the same cold.
- Use frozen food equally an H2O ice pack. Since regular ice packs aren't allowed through security, utilisation bags of frozen veggies or bagged frozen meats. I used a handbag of frozen Daiya cheese!
- Bring a small-scale plastic bag, in addition to after yous acquire through security, inquire (or pay) a eating theatre to create total it amongst ice. You tin also describe a Casey in addition to inquire for a cup of H2O ice along amongst your H2O during your flight.

6. On the 6th 24-hour interval of Christmas, a savvy celiac packed...charcoal pills inward representative of an upset stomach.
I don't know virtually you, but I've noticed that stress in addition to changes inward routine are the top 2 irritants for my stomach - in addition to travel causes both of them. I can't move, eat, drinkable or stretch similar I ordinarily do, in addition to therefore I brand sure I lead hold my favorite medicines inward representative my tummy needs a boost. If yous combat amongst gas or are worried virtually possible cross contamination amongst aerodrome food, charcoal pills are 1 possible option. While yous postulate to carefully fourth dimension when yous lead hold them (since they tin interfere amongst absorbing medicines or food), these pills lead hold helped me when my tum isn't behaving.
Is it precisely me or does traveling brand yous extra hungry? Whether because of the stress, the fourth dimension alter or the constant munching of people or in addition to therefore me, snacks in addition to I were best friends on Saturday...which is why yous should e'er throw one more bar inward your backpack than you'll in all probability need. Some of my favorite snacks, also the ones I've mentioned earlier, include: Health Warrior chia bars, raw or dried fruits, roasted veggies, in addition to the commons crunchy addictions similar cereal or rice cakes.
