MOVES/Candida Diet while traveling

By Teresa M.
Edited by Debby Padilla-Hudson

Things to consider:

• Are you renting a car?
• Will you be able to get good water?
• Will your room have a refrigerator?
• Can you check a cooler as luggage?
• Will you have a place to get quality food?
• Do you have your supplements?
• Will you have a place to cook food?

Ideas:

In my checked luggage I take:

• plenty of home-made jerky if that works for you.
• small cans of salmon and tuna
• a head of organic cabbage
• fresh garlic
• a couple jars of organic
• coconut oil (carefully protected)
• supplements

At the airport:

• My purse is ready...Take one serving of coconut oil(and spoon),
• veggies, and jerky with you to the airport if you need a meal. I step
• into the restroom or find some privacy and eat one serving of coconut
• oil along with veggies and protein.
• Wash it down with plenty of good water.
• jerky makes it through security. Just be sure it is in a plastic bag
• and out of your purse as you go through...

At the other end:

• Rent a car and find green veggies.
• Buy a bag of ice if necessary.
• Don't forget the bottled water.

When "dining" in a group:

• Compliment their food if you feel you must.
• "Looks great, maybe later" or "Gee, thanks for the offer, but I am on a restricted diet right now...medical stuff", followed by lots of smiling and jovial conversation help.
• Water, coconut oil, and jerky are very portable. I usually feel compelled to have the coconut oil in privacy as it attracts attention. Sometimes I just don't want to get into the "science" of it all. Other times I do share my WOE and why. Most often someone has a light bulb go on for themselves or a loved one with similar issues.
• If you will be outdoors in a warm climate, the coconut oil will melt and look like water. You can sip it from a small jar.

With planning, commitment, creativity, and a lot of good cheer, you can do this. :) The trekkers on Arctic expeditions do it with pemmican and water. :) Hey, we are not eating penguin. Has anyone else read/seen "Endurance" about the Shakleton expedition to the south pole. Kind of puts my issues into perspective.
