I'm with Carol on this. I'm not quite as blunt as she, but I explain what my issues are. If there's a car trip involved, I explain that we WILL be stopping every couple hours.
I also pack a "safety kit" for road trips - a couple Luna Bars, a sleeve of FF soda crackers, some apple sauce, Gas X or Phayzyme, Pepto-Bismal, a couple bottles of water, my prescription Levsin, and maybe a banana. If it's an overnight trip, I bring my oatmeal.
If people are going to be offended because I CAN'T eat something, well, that's their problem.
At the same time, I do understand it's hard to watch everyone else eat fried chicken if you can't. Just make sure you have plenty of your own food choices even if you have to bring your own.
