Do you agree with the list? Do you have any ideas to add?
http://www.examiner.com/x-15799-GlutenFree-Travel-Examiner~y2009m7d8-Top-10-foods-to-pack-for-short-or-long-trips
| Quote: | Almost everyone who plans a trip the first time after they start living gluten-free has the same question - "how am I going to eat safely away from home?" The answer is simply - by doing some gluten-free home work. They need to do research about gluten-free dining options where they're headed, and they need to pack some food for the trip.
Here is a list of things that are easy to find and are not likely to be confiscated by airport security. Most of these item can be used for a plane ride and upon arrival to your destination. Brands listed are not the only gluten-free options.
Nutrition bars – Larabars ; Kind Bars ; Oskri Bars ; Bakery on Main
Travel size packs of nuts - Ingle’s and Trader Joes sell these (12 packs for $4.99 at TJ's)
Crackers (or pretzels) – Glutino; Mary’s Gone Crackers; Ener-G; Nut Thins
Dried Fruit – Bare Fruit ; many mainstream brands of dried fruit are gluten-free
Gluten-free cereals (eat as a snack without milk or for breakfast with it) – Ewewhon; Gluten-Free Chex; Trader Joe’s gluten-free granola, Bakery on Main
Packets of Tuna – major brands like Starkist offer gluten-free options
Boiled eggs - consider packing with frozen peas for cooling as some are ice packs are not allowed through security
Chocolate – Snickers, Almond Joy, Mounds and Reese Cups are gluten-free, like a host of other chocolate bars. Candy bars with cookies in them contain gluten (Twix, Kit Kat, etc.) When visiting warm destinations, don’t pack more chocolate than you can eat on the flight (or in the car, bus or train)
Cookies – Pamela’s sells a two pack of gluten-free cookies
Turkey pepperoni packs (or cooked bacon) – turkey pepperoni ; Go Picnic ; gluten-free fully cooked bacon is available from several companies, including Publix |

I don't know if I'd have the nerve to take hard-boiled eggs on a flight considering what they smell like.
I like traveling with pudding cups that don't have to be refrigerated, the individual packs of cut up veggies, individually wrapped mozzarella sticks or cheddar cheese slices, and individual cups of fruit or applesauce. Not sure if the puddings or fruit cups would make it through airport security, but they are great for car travel.

Last year I packed frozen slices of banana bread made from Gluten Free Pantry's Muffin & Scone mix. It worked very well.

When I was traveling, I would bring yogurt and a cold pack* made of dried corn in an insulated lunch bag. The same cold pack doubles as a hot pack, so if I got sick and needed my hot pack, I had that too. And, it helps with the whole no liquid part. I used to also take cut up veggies and cheese with me to munch on. I don't have issues with dairy, so the cheese and yogurt worked for me. I know that others cannot have dairy so the yogurt and cheese wouldn't work.

*Cold pack picture/description for illustration purposes only. If I was able to sew, I think these would be fairly easy to make in the rectangular size mine is - big square of cloth, fold in half, sew along two of the open sides, fill with flax or dried corn, sew top.

I don't know if they could go on a plane, but I like the Carl Buddig
Turkey meat for car traveling. You can use a cold pack or find
them on the road. Raw vegetables are a good idea too.

We also pack Thai Kitchen noodle mixes. Most hotels have a microwave that you can use and they make a quick meal in a pinch... just add water.
