lunch on the plane ride

If you go the muffing route, just pack it into a container. It does wonders to prevent crushing. Even going to work, I work on a muffin most of the day, the container keeps it from crushing.


For the OP:The Laughing Cow wedges can keep for a few hours without the fridge. I've done cereal too, I can eat it dry. Just run out and get the little bowls and get milk at drink service. And if you can always go with dried fruit. You just have to think non-traditional meal ideas.

And I am a huge fan of the Starkist to go lunch packs. They come with everything in tow.

Ew, please no tuna! Too strong of a smell for that small of a place!

You are incorrect. This allergy is not a contact allergy and is life threatening as it impacts breathing. You are correct that all allergies are not the same and there ARE other allergies that are life threatening despite what the peanut allergy people believe.

i have never came across anyone who had anaphylaxis to commonly used wipes. please give examples.

I don't know if this has been mentioned, but rice krispy treats travel well and don't crush easily. I plan on making a batch before our next trip.

Great idea. I had never thought of that one.

My allergist can give you several. . I have never met anyone with a reaction to peanut butter, just because I have not seen it does it make it any less real?

Okay... now is there a way to make them nutritious?

just fyi, there are desensitization opportunities out. I just met a lil guy a couple of months ago who did it. He has to eat peanut butter (usually Reese's) every day to keep the sensitivity at bay. Please ask your doctors.

I was allergic to walnuts and bee stings. Major airway constriction with contact. I did go through desensitization for the walnuts and have had great results. Not willing to do anything yet on the bee thing just yet.

No sensitivity to peanuts, but I had used products containing walnut oils or shells for many years before symptoms appeared.

hi!
yes, it could be airborne in that situation too. however, peanut allergy is one that unless you are enrolled in a clinical trial / research, they cannot even try to be desensitized. its just too deadly at this time. there was a study last year that showed some promise that was done in england, but a number of the subjects still had severe and life threatening reactions - they had to administer the peanut products in the hospital even. that's how serious it is.
my daughter has a peanut and tree nut allergy - and has had serious medical events two times in her life. i'm a nazi about the stuff now. i don't want her to die. thankfully most people are very understanding.

latex allergies are awful. mine has progressed over the years. i'm a nurse and had to stop using the gloves - switched to nitrile - after I was diagnosed - but I didn't even realize all the stuff latex as in as mine has progressed. it started out as a contact allergy. the last straw was when i blew up balloons for a birthday party (it honestly slipped my mind - duh!) and i ended up getting really sick and it affected my breathing. i was a sick puppy for a few days! oops.

I was reading recently that people that have to glove up often for work are more likely to develop latex allergies. I had a sensitivity to latex gloves since I was in high school, but I always thought it was the soapy water or the chemicals from the cleaning stuff that got in over that top that was causing my problems. Then I worked with severely disabled kids for 8 years. We lived in our gloves, but my hands would burn and be so red. I switched to the non-latex gloves and I was fine. I had a not-so-comfortable reaction to latex condoms too. . .I know. . .TMI! The final straw was at the dentists once. The rubber dam burned my lips. . .like a really bad sunburn. . .and the part of my face where the dam touched it too. I now tell them that I'm allergic, even though it still seems to just be a contact allergy at this point. I'd like to keep it that way!

How about adding some dried fruit or seeds to it?
