Two cavers ascend out of the 162' Neversink Pit in Alabama. Photos do not give this place justice! This photo won an honorable mention in the 2006 NSS Slide Salon. In the summer time, there are glow worms in the walls of the pit and it is best to go there on a clear, moonless night. Rappel to the bottom and sit in the middle of the pit for about 15-20 minutes with your lights off and you will see the entire pit glowing once your eyes adjust. Get on rope in the dark and ascend up the rope with your headlamp off for an amazing experience to see the walls glowing below, beside and above you. If it is a clear night, the stars make it an even better experience.

When you are travelling this season, staying on a low FODMAP regimen can be as much of an adventure as your vacation. Convenience stores, rest stops, and gas stations offer mostly packaged foods, and many contain ingredients that may not make the cut on your low FODMAP regimen. However, there are some snacks you can bring along, and some you can find on your way to your destination, that can help feed you the energy you need on the road. Shop our on the go snacks for delicious, healthy, convenient snacks. Here are the top ten low FODMAP travel snacks: Clementines: With an easy peel and naturally sweet flavor, clementines are a delicious portable snack option for travel. And at no FODMAPs detected according to Monash University, you can consume liberally. At 35 calories and 1.3 grams fiber each, this cute fruit is a healthy addition to your snack bag this travel season. Granola: This fiber-rich snack is non-perishable and easily portable. Some granolas may contain high fructose ingredients such as honey or dried fruits, but there is a low FODMAP granola option that is low FODMAP safe. At around 2 grams of fiber and 4 grams of protein per 200-calorie serving, this snack is a satisfying choice to help you sustain energy on your travels. Baby carrots: According to Monash University, there are no FODMAPs detected in carrots. Therefore, consume baby carrots liberally to satisfy your crunchy craving. At 25 calories and 1.4 grams of fiber per 10 carrots, this refreshing snack is a light and healthy addition to your travel snack pack.
