Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

We bought fresh snapper, grouper and lobster tails directly from the fisherman. They had other fish too. It was lovely and inexpensive (e.g 12 lobster tails for $20 US i.e about 12 quid). Also, the fresh chicken was better than I can buy here. They have good grocery stores too.

I never eat out -- even at home! And when I go out for supper at a friends they know the only thing I eat out is chicken, rice and boiled carrots. I have many well intentioned friends that cannot seem to follow instructions well I give them free reign to serve anything.

The biggest problem I have travelling is the carry on food. There are strick import laws in the US, Canada and elsewhere. For example, you cannot take a meat such as chicken in a sandwich into the US. However, you can take a fish (e.g. tuna or salmon) sandwich in to the US as long as you declare you are taking in food and the Food inspector checks it to make sure it is okay. You cannot take in any fresh fruit or veggies which is a real pain!
