Hey all, random travel question here:
I have about 5 trips coming up and 2-3 of them involve meals (which, granted, I may choose to fast during, BUT should I choose to eat…I’m curious which meal ya’ll would say is wiser to request:
- a gluten free meal, described as follows:
Meals exclude wheat or wheat flour, barley, oats and rye, bread, cakes (unless wheat free), pastry, sausages or any flour based products. (Allergy related)
OR
- a diabetic meal, described as follows:
Meals suitable or those who need to manage blood sugar levels. Foods excluded are high in sugars for example: syrups, jams, cakes and chocolate, unless specifically designed for diabetics.
I am aware that things can be GF and still high in carbs…however I’m also aware that I DO NOT DO WELL WITH GLUTEN, FULL STOP. So I’m thinking it might be best to order a GF meal and then just avoid anything in it I know to be high carb (white rice, a gf dessert, etc.) - because I assume the opposite is also true, that you could have a low-sugar “diabetic” meal but it might still have gluten in it…and that really wouldn’t sit well with my tummy…thoughts?
