I’m going on another trip, and as usual, bringing all my food with me.<\/p>\n
In the past, I have brought a large bag of granola to supply wheat-free snacking requirements. <\/p>\n
As far as celiac<\/a> goes, there is debate as to whether oats<\/a> are truly gluten-free<\/a> and therefore safe, or not.<\/p>\n I am not celiac (according to two biopsy tests, but there is still room for error), so I am less worried about gluten and more worried about wheat<\/a>. Or anything else that makes me feel lousy for that matter.<\/p>\n Be that as it may, I’ve never done well on oats. A little is fine, too much is not so fine.<\/p>\n Also, porridge seems to be more digestible than granola, the later being baked with no added water.<\/p>\n So this time I thought twice before bringing granola.<\/p>\n There is the health factor, and the time factor (I prefer my own home-made granola to store-bought any day).<\/p>\n This time I am bringing dried fruit and nuts for snacks.<\/p>\n This might be less filling, but I’ve noticed that when I go to seminars, I eat more snacks than when I am at home. This may be because the granola actually makes me hungrier.<\/p>\n An important point<\/strong> about mixing fruit and nuts:<\/strong> DON’T. Eat either one or the other, with half an hour delay between snack types.<\/p>\n It is very hard to digest fruit and nuts together. I never liked the combination myself, and recent reading I have done confirms that improper food combining is hard on the body.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
