I was just wondering if there was anything new out there! Thanks!

However, if it's pasteurized, does that make any difference? Or ALL dairy should be considered suspicious? Kath eatingRD ,

WendyF,
Thank you for the tips!! I have been warned about dairy…and veggies + salads + fresh fruit that’s not in a peel. I’ll be enjoying grains, meats and cooked things this coming week! Thanks for the extra warning – after hearing of your tummyaches I won’t take any chances. However, if it’s pasteurized, does that make any difference? Or ALL dairy should be considered suspicious?

The good thing is I find the jet lag is easier to deal with with that large of time difference. I know it sounds crazy, but I have a worst time with jet lag in the Netherlands. Plane food: The chef packs my lunch for trips, whether I am trying first class or economy. I find having my own food cuts down on bloating stuffy feeling. I usually take veg sushi, fresh blueberries, strawberries and a 'treat' Stay away from dairy(no matter how fancy smancy the hotel...that is my mantra(16 trips to India and never a tummy ache :-) Although I eat locally on my trips, I swear by the instant oats. I like the brand you had in the picture. :-) Good luck on your trip! The good thing is I find the jet lag is easier to deal with with that large of time difference.

I wanted to ask a question about your oats: If you wanted to make them for two would you simple double the liquids and oats? Do you use old-fashioned? And for the tea, what do they think about tea and iron absorption? Does it make a difference to separate one's tea from meals to enhance iron absorption? Will you get to try their cuisine there?
