Fortunately we did a layover in Hawaii and were able to buy a salad and some fruit after a lot of searching but it was not what you\u2019d expect. It was a good thing we did take some snacks with us too but I am now way more prepared when I travel.<\/p>\n<p>As you can see from the above image, this is the typical travel food (or \u201cpadkos\u201d as we call it in South Africa) for a 13-hour flight:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>2 organic apples<\/li>\n<li>2 organic boiled eggs and some sea salt<\/li>\n<li>Homemade biltong from grass fed beef (a South African version of jerky) made with sea salt, coriander and pepper<\/li>\n<li>Coconut flakes and organic raisins<\/li>\n<li>Sprouted pumpkin seeds (many nuts and seeds are medium and high oxalate but a few tablespoons of pumpkin seeds are low oxalate &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.everywomanover29.com\/blog\/oxalate-crystal-disease-dietary-oxalates-and-pain-the-research-questions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">more on oxalates here<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li>A selection of herbal tea bags: ginger (which is great for motion sickness), Nighty night which contains chamomile and is relaxing), Breathe Easy (in case of congestion) and rooibos (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.everywomanover29.com\/blog\/anxiety-summit-rooibos-a-functional-food-in-the-management-of-stress\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">great for stress<\/a>\u00a0and an excellent source of polyphenols)<\/li>\n<li>A can of wild salmon<\/li>\n<li>Pea protein powder or whey or beef protein powder (as tolerated)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I also packed a meal of roast lamb with a veggie selection of carrots, zucchini and asparagus, plus some cauliflower sauerkraut.

Many people with pyroluria are more prone to morning nausea and may be very prone to motion sickness (and it\u2019s commonly a sign of low vitamin B6).

Hopefully this will help even more with my motion sickness.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>Amino acids for travel anxiety (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.everywomanover29.com\/blog\/gaba-physical-tension-stiff-tense-muscles-type-anxiety\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">GABA<\/a> for the physical anxiety and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.everywomanover29.com\/blog\/tryptophan-worry-head-ruminating-type-anxiety\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tryptophan<\/a> for the fearful, worrying-about-flying anxiety)<\/li>\n<li>Healthy travel snacks<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Enjoy the beautiful Rocky Mountains! When I filmed this I was on a trip to St Paul, MN for the National Association of Nutrition Professionals conference and wanted to share just how I travel.<\/p>\n<h2>Additional resources when you are new to using amino acids such as GABA or tryptophan as supplements<\/h2>\n<p>As always, I use the symptoms questionnaire\u00a0to figure out if low GABA or low serotonin may be an issue.<\/p>\n<p>When considering them for flying I have clients do a trial before they leave and figure out optimal doses for their unique needs. And then use GABA and\/or tryptophan as needed on the flight.<\/p>\n<p>If you suspect low levels of any of the neurotransmitters and do not yet have my book, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.everywomanover29.com\/blog\/the-antianxiety-food-solution-by-trudy-scott\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Antianxiety Food Solution \u2013 How the Foods You Eat Can Help You Calm Your Anxious Mind, Improve Your Mood, and End Cravings<\/a>, I highly recommend getting it and reading it before jumping in and using amino acids on your own so you are knowledgeable. And be sure to share it with the practitioner\/health team you or your loved one is working with.<\/p>\n<p>There is an entire chapter on the amino acids and they are discussed throughout the book in the sections on gut health, gluten, blood sugar control (this is covered in an entire chapter too), sugar cravings, anxiety and mood issues.<\/p>\n<p>The book doesn\u2019t include product names (per the publisher\u2019s request) so this blog, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.everywomanover29.com\/blog\/amino-acids-pyroluria-supplements\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Antianxiety Food Solution Amino Acid and Pyroluria Supplements<\/a>, lists the amino acids that I use with my individual clients and those in my group programs.<\/p>\n<p>If, after reading this blog and my book, you don\u2019t feel comfortable figuring things out on your own (i.e. doing the symptoms questionnaire and respective amino acids trials), a good place to get help is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.anxietynutritioninstitute.com\/gabaquickstart\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">GABA QuickStart Program<\/a> (if you have low GABA symptoms too). This is a paid online\/virtual group program where you get my guidance and community support.<\/p>\n<p>If you are a practitioner, join us in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.anxietynutritioninstitute.com\/balancingneurotransmitters\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Balancing Neurotransmitters: the Fundamentals<\/a> program. This is also a paid online\/virtual program with an opportunity to interact with me and other practitioners who are also using the amino acids.<\/p>\n<h2>Wrapping up and your feedback<\/h2>\n<p>I hope this is all helpful for your next long flight or even a road-trip you have coming up. Do keep in mind that some of this can be adapted for a day out shopping or a day at the beach too.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019d love to hear about your favorite travel foods and first-aid goodies that you take on a trip.<\/p>\n<p>Feel free to share and ask your questions below.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Updated: June 28, 2024 In today\u2019s blog I share what I eat on a long international flight, plus what \u201cfirst-aid\u201d goodies I take in my carry-on luggage, how to stay cool, calm and collected when flying and demonstrate my favorite wrist bands for preventing motion sickness.
