Re: Traveling through security with supplements???

[Guest guest]

We packed all of our supplements in a Sam's insulated bag with some dry ice and

placed a note saying that these were required supplements due to our children's

Celiac Disease. We then packed this insulated bag in a suitcase. Some of our

supplements, we had with us in our carry on bag and there was no problem

whatsoever. You can use a corn cob holder to prick the gel caps and just pack

it. There should be no problem as long as it is packed with your checked

luggage.

this is for a two week stay and we need qty's. Also, considering

unexpected layovers and 6 hour tarmac waits (hopefully not) how do we

take all the things we need on board and thru the airport?

we are using liquid phosphaline and liquid NN

as well as liquid V-100 from Buried treasure and a few other things as

well as the E's

also, what do we take to " poke " the gel caps with?

thanks

this is a very overwhelming prospect!!

I've taken things through customs with no problem, but it typically depends on

the airport. I've come prepared with literature about the supplements and

keeping the supplements in the containers. I've also put them in the check in

luggage, but you run the risk of losing them that way. I also had my

chiropractor write a little note for me in the past. You could also give some to

a relative or neighbor to fed ex them in case something happens (i.e. gets lost

or taken away). This is certainly an additional step that may never need to be

used, but my feelings are that they're as necessary as food and water, and I'll

be as paranoid as I feel necessary.

Hope this helps

If you intend to take any of the supplements into the cabin, you will

need a medical necessity note to avoid a hassle with the security check

people...ditto with any special foods, especially if you child is over 2

years old. To open the gelcaps, you will have use one of their plastic

knives and saw an end off...or skip that supplement dose for the flight

anyway.

My autistic son would only drink from one cup and only rice milk - they

had a cow at security check when I had the courage to send the

closed-lid cup filled with rice milk through the xray machine - but in

the end they got over it and let it pass...we we returning to Europe for

a transAtlantic flight...I had certificates but they had not been

translated into English which I thought would not be a big problem

seeing we were at an international airport with translators galore. It

would be better to take only the minimum to get you through the flights,

potential delays and put the rest in checked luggage (which always makes

me nervous because of potential lost bags).

We packed our enzymes in carryon and had no issues whatsoever. The rest of the

supplements I left in our suitcase and checked it with the baggage. Mark takes

enzymes with ALL food so we had to have some with us or let the kid starve for

the trip.... not so fun.

In the end, I find that there is no way that Mark can eat the airplane food as

pretty much all of it is loaded with milk products. I generally try to find

something past security that is relatively healthy (sometimes impossible) that I

can take on to the plane with us.
