Off on holiday tomorrow. Not sure whether we can take ds1's gluten free pasta and other products with us. Anyone know? We are flying with Ryanair.

May depend on where you ar going but probably ok in a suitcase. You can generally get similar abroad if you know where to go though - a local health food shop should have them if supermarket doesn't.

Hi - I've just returned from Menorca and took a small suitcase with all of ds's food - ds1 has milk allergy and ds1 has egg and nut allergy so I had to take milk powder, soya milk, organix snacks, rice cakes, pureed fruits etc. I put it through with the main luggage as it was quite heavy. You should be absolutely fine, but I'd put it in with the lugage for the hold rather than as hand luggage just so that you don't have the hassle of them potentially spotting it and wanting to open up bags to check. Have a lovely time.

I've always taken ds's food with us. I tend to put it in hand luggage if it's heavy so as not to use too much of the luggage allowance. However, they often weigh that as well now! I'd err on the side of caution and take sealed packets if possible.

Thanks for the advice. Will take everything then (and hope it doesn't get confiscated!)
