I decided, in advance, that my needs were going to be too much, too complicated, too niche, too likely to land wrong. And I managed around them before anyone even had a chance to respond. Sometimes that's genuinely the right call. But a lot of the time it's just habit. A very ingrained habit of making myself smaller in any situation where food is involved, because it feels like the considerate or easy thing to do. And the habit compounds. You eat with someone you don't know well and you manage somehow, you say nothing, you get through it. Then you come across each other again and this time the food on offer is genuinely not okay and you do need to say something. And there's an awkward moment where you both register that last time you weren't really okay either. Or there's the restaurant your friends keep suggesting, the one you're not comfortable with, and it's the third time they've mentioned it and this time it's someone's birthday and you can't say no again. So you go. Because you don't want to be the person who draws attention to themselves every time food is involved. Because you're not entirely sure whether people take you seriously or whether they think you've been spending too much time on Instagram. https://www.nurtureandthrive.live/blog/how-to-make-travelling-with-food-sensitivities-easier monthly 0.5 2026-05-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/696556dd54d2422e05627922/062c9c06-023c-4947-8bcd-8b8a52c49aba/milan-trninic-328b7yicKFk-unsplash.jpg Blog - How to make travelling with food sensitivities easier https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/696556dd54d2422e05627922/02c6257e-126f-4c49-8f36-6fe49ea0e33c/briana-tozour-rUXh5USKfUQ-unsplash.jpg Blog - How to make travelling with food sensitivities easier - Business travel A lot depends on how accommodating your company and your hosts are, and in most cases, people are more helpful than you might expect. It's worth being straightforward early: let whoever is organising accommodation know what you need, and check the hotel's options before you arrive rather than hoping for the best on the day. If there are meetings, conferences or group lunches involved, ask in advance whether they can cater for you. The answer is usually yes. Where it gets complicated is when your request wasn't quite clear enough, or when the person on the other end didn't fully understand it, which does happen. It's worth being specific: list what you can eat as well as what you need to avoid. Keep something safe in your bag as a backup, just in case. Choosing accommodation that gives you some kitchen access, even just a kettle and a small fridge, can make a real difference on longer trips. It means you're not entirely dependent on restaurant menus or hotel breakfast buffets for every me https://www.nurtureandthrive.live/blog/what-reintroduction-testing-involves-and-why-its-harder-than-an-elimination-diet monthly 0.5 2026-05-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/696556dd54d2422e05627922/bf2f0f9b-e355-48c2-87fd-806c119b3706/pexels-karola-g-4210847.jpg Blog - The reintroduction phase of an elimination diet: what to expect https://www.nurtureandthrive.live/blog/the-body-can-recover-but-its-not-a-quick-processnbsp monthly 0.5 2026-05-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/696556dd54d2422e05627922/ea5483f2-9fe6-4861-ab46-9e32c1bc67b6/ana-de-leon-MHCuR_XeERE-unsplash.jpg Blog - The body can recover, but it's not a quick process  https://www.nurtureandthrive.live/blog/what-helps-me-when-food-sensitivities-feel-hard-to-manage monthly 0.5 2026-05-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/696556dd54d2422e05627922/2b798f7d-4c55-40ff-98a0-9333c5f6a86b/douglas-fehr-4nk7VPj_m6g-unsplash.jpg Blog - What helps me when food sensitivities feel hard to manage https://www.nurtureandthrive.live/blog/when-food-sensitivities-go-undiagnosed-and-what-happens-after monthly 0.5 2026-05-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/696556dd54d2422e05627922/b96d1e67-e630-47f3-be95-c19303e8ce70/antonio-cunha-oBwMZvoo9Zo-unsplash.jpg Blog - When food sensitivities go undiagnosed and what happens after https://www.nurtureandthrive.live/blog/the-mistakes-that-keep-you-stuck-with-food-sensitivities monthly 0.5 2026-05-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/696556dd54d2422e05627922/4e840c46-d44e-44e7-8b90-cb626dbc8c1b/sydney-moore-pW9KYN1ac2s-unsplash+cropped.jpg Blog - The mistakes that keep you stuck with food sensitivities https://www.nurtureandthrive.live/blog/the-food-intolerance-test-said-bread-was-fine-it-wasnt monthly 0.5 2026-05-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/696556dd54d2422e05627922/1778185686421-Z3WHJ4WKLFRM2CHI9A6K/unsplash-image-dsrsjg-as-M.jpg Blog - The food intolerance test said bread was fine.
