Eating on a Road Trip (For the Gluten Intolerant)

It is difficult to eat healthy (if you even try to) when you are traveling. I definitely eat the most gluten/sugar when I am away on a trip. I don't think that's a big issue - you only live once and you can't eat super healthy all of the time. So if you want to stop and eat at Burger King - go for it! But if you're looking for some other options, read on my friend.

I Love Road Trips!

This post is targeted for the gluten intolerant... we're on a different page than everyone else (for better or for worse!). Cheating means symptoms for days/weeks and potential long term damage to our bodies. Eating gluten can mean a missed day on vacation because you are too sick to enjoy yourself.

I was diagnosed gluten and dairy intolerant in September 2010 and immediately went on a gluten and dairy free diet. Of course, just 1 month later I was headed to Tennessee with my boyfriend to visit his family. I couldn't starve for 14 hours in a car, and with McDonald's no longer an option, I had a lot of planning on my hands!

I totally over planned for this road trip, but learned some great lessons to pass on to my fellow gluten intolerant friends.

SUPPLIES FOR THE ROAD TRIP CAR:
