How do you stick to your dietary plan when traveling for medical care?

@carnes Hi, you seem to be doing great in your dietary restrictions. Going out to restaurants can be challenging but it can be done, and when I go out I do sometimes cheat a little bit. If I do that only once in a great while I am OK.
My restrictions are primarily sodium, carbohydrates, and I try to keep fats low. Recently fresh vegetables and fruits have come into question so I am working on figuring that out. It can be so difficult to isolate what is causing problems.
I didn't know that flour turns to sugar! I do know of course that it is carb-heavy so I watch what carbs I eat fairly closely and stick with whole wheat ones and oatmeal. I am mildly diabetic.
If what you are doing is working for you I would just continue with it, it sounds like you have it well under control.

I love salads, but because of all the outbreaks of E. coli and salmonella, I’m nervous about eating them.

@contentandwell Because I follow my diet so closely, when I eat out I sometimes loosen the reins a bit. This has two aftereffects. I don't feel good because I changed up what my body is used to [and helps to remind me to stay on track!]. The second is that sometimes people don't realize that meal is way out of norm for me, and think it is my usual fare. The other day after having bloodwork done, and a 14 hr fast in preparation for it, I treated myself to breakfast that included a bit of ham, and breakfast potatoes, both on my forbidden list.
