I've been wondering this as I need to travel to NC to visit my dad from CA. Its a 14 hour trip. In past doctor will write me a note saying I must be able to eat my broth on the trip...and they let my thermos through with me.

However once I get there...everyone going out to eat.

This winter I'm wanting to visit mexico for a desperately needed vacation...but then the food issue...get away with fish and veggies? stay at a place I can make the bone broth?

Basically how do folks travel with a flareup.

I probably will be starting Remicade next couple of weeks. Therefore, hope against hope, I may be good by the winter...have no idea. Don't know if when on Remicade if I can lighten up a bit on the whole diet restrictiveness somewhat. Thanks in advance.

Just a thought but can you buy dehydrated sachets of bone broth? Then just add water? I remember reading a story years ago about the cricketer Shane Warne and he used to take tins of baked beans with him when he travelled to India for the same reason. Could you take some tins and sachets of food so you can at least have things that resemble home meals and will at least be safe.

You can make portable bone broth: http://nourishedkitchen.com/homemade-bouillon-portable-soup/

Thank you both, that sounds like an excellent resource...as for bulk food...what do any of you do traveling in the US or in foreign countries....just ask for well cooked veggies? Fish?

Also rice if you can tolerate grains. Bone broth is also sold in cartons that donn't need refrigeration. I like Kettle & Fire (google them) because it's organic and grass fed. It is expensive, but I figure it's worth it for travelling ease. There's a discount if you buy a full case of 6. They come in 16 oz so not too large.

I followed SCD for two years but recently gave up on it for a while. Some vacations I would just go off the diet completely. Others I would just do my best knowing certain ingredients might sneak into my food, but try to stick to meat and vegetable dishes, eggs, and salads. Don't drive yourself crazy. You won't die from a grain of sugar. For long trips and long weekends I would always pack the peanut butter brownies from the recipe at the back of Breaking the Vicious Cycle and a bunch of bananas and avacado to supplement what was available on my trips. Larabars should be good too. I took along lots of fruits, nuts and nut products/butters for the most part when traveling. Raisins travel well and are calorie dense.
