Yes, that was my thought too. She can eat nuts too. Having something to snack on without having to go to the MDR seems like a good plan.

She has seen many specialists for the problem but I'm not sure about a nutritionist. I'll mention it to her, thanks.

I called special needs (thanks for the suggestion, I had never needed or heard of such a service.) They said the do indeed deal with this all the time. I said we aren't just talking a vegan diet here but she assured me they can special order and they will special cook her meals to order. She also mention talking with the staff in the MDR. And I guess there is a form you can fill out on booking. Good idea to talk to the cook too. We took her to a very high end resort in Thailand and the head chef came out at the start and went over her needs and then personally cooked all her meals. But then that's what you expect out of a $1000 a night resort. Just not sure if they can make good on this.

I plan to take my daughter and son-in-law with us on a Western Caribbean cruise (Allure of the Seas) in May 2023. She has Crohns disease among other immune system problems. She long ago gave up on restaurants as even when they tried their hardest they always let things slip into their foods that made her sick. So she has spent many years prepping and taking her own food everywhere. She has before and is willing in this case to dry her own vegetables and put them in baggies and eat that and canned tuna for the entire trip if needed. So ... will they let her bring canned meat and baggies of vegetables on the ship? A cup of hot water and a can opener is all she would need then. I always suggest she could likely special order such a thing but she says it never works out. Some cook will decide a dash of garlic salt won't hurt and away she goes sick as a dog. I/we really want to do this trip together as it's not only over her birthday but their second wedding anniversary. Any thoughts?
