lol... its ok :-) Ive spent countless hours looking at labels and scoping out products... if I can save you time by telling you its all good. You can find them at Teeter or Wally World - I forget the brand, it may be sniders? One of the 'big' well known name brands... its honey whole wheat - they are actucally whole wheat and not enriched. A good tip is many of the 'organic' products are whole wheat, not always but typically. Teeter has a good selection of organic chips/crackers/pretzels etc. Also trader joes is always excellent... most of their stuff is whole wheat.

Great list from Jenn there! But ask Darcie as well. She is our resident traveler and I am sure could come up with a bunch of good ideas! Oh and ask your surgeon about the immodium as well as the aspirin, Aspirin can be tough on any stomach, let alone a new pouch!

I was told ok on the imodium but no to aspirins and ibuprofen and things of that nature. Have fun, Pam
