Re: Could I travel to Dubai on the SCD diet

[Guest guest]

I dont know anything about Dubai-BUT-- they MUST have a grocery store, fruit,

meat etc some where to be found. I would email the hotel and ask them where the

closest store is and if there are microwaves in the room (or request one). If

you have a microwave you are golden. You can cook all your meat (not the best--

but at least its cooked) and your veggies (boil in water). You can always bring

canned tuna with you too. Also ask for resturants in the area and just ask them

for plain broiled meat with no sauce. From my understanding Dubai is a fairly

affluent place, so they should have some english speaking people to help out. My

main concern would be the air plane ride. Bring a few days worth of cooked

pattys,veggies, and fruit-- hard boiled eggs are good too.

I think if you really want to go, you can make it work- just plan ahead and have

a great time!

Hi,

This reminds me of a story I heard at my dog park yesterday. This lady there who

has a lot of health problems (including arthritis, and I think MS) went to

Africa for 3 weeks. She was really afraid she would get sick. She didn't, but

got sick when she came home. In Africa, she ate lots of fruits and vegetables.

When she came back to the US, she ate at Denny's. Once again, it made me realize

how I will never go back to eating the SAD.

Anyway, I think it would be possible for you to remain SCD on your trip,

especially if you could get a room with a little kitchenette.

Good luck!
