Food allergy

[Rain]

Anyone know what food items can be taken in to Florida, I have developed some food allergies and was thinking of taking just a few items with me ie Lactose free powdered milk, Biscuits and cake nothing much, maybe tinned Salmon. Help appreciated

Hi

We have peanut allergy in our family and always take breakfast cereal and a good supply of biscuits to take out with us (not chocolate) and some choc ones for the fridge.

We have a son who has an eating disorder, so we have to take ALL of his food with us!!!!!(in our suitcases LOL).
The only obvious ones not to take are the of course meat,fish etc, we have never had any trouble ,we also found it helped to get a GP's letter stating that you need a specialist diet, just incase, but its never been a problem and we have flown all over the world.
If you are concerned contact the embassy they will confirm for you an exact list of what you can and cant take, it has been relaxed abit more now the foot and mouth scare is over.

Thank you for your help, sorry your son has eating/food allergy problems, it is a problem when going on holiday. I did have problems last year when we went to Orlando, I did not take anything with the foot and mouth crisis going on. I ate carefully most of the time but as always you think I will just try a little I may be ok this time and of course you are not.

Rain I will tell Bouncy about your post. Her son is lactose intolerant and she has to take a whole load of stuff for him. I think she could give you some good advice.

Hi Jessie 2. My 9yr DD has peanut allergy and I found Disney to be very helpful last year. But we did spend most of the holliday on Disney property, where they seemed geared up for specific diets. Next year we will be touring more of Florida, so that will be a bit more difficult. I have not come accross many people with this allergy, how do you manage?
