Hi there,

I'm traveling to Exuma which is a small island south of Nassau. Does anyone know about the style of cooking and whether they use corn and rice rather than flour for beading fries foods? Any ideas about the types of foods the restaurants will have available? Thank you in advance!

Hi Allie - did you end up going to Exuma last year? I'm looking at planning a family vacation there and was curious if you found gluten free options. Thanks so much!

For future travelers, I went to Exuma and EVERYTHING is fried.  It is really hard to eat out there without getting a salad every time.  To be honest there isn't a whole lot of fruit on the island either.  I brought my own gluten-free bread, oatmeal and pasta and I'm really glad I did.  Went to one restaurant and ordered the lobster thinking there is no way that would be bad, but it came breaded and deep fried.  The island itself is spectacular, but eating there gluten free is extremely difficult.  Especially because the one thing everyone says you have to try there is deep fried conch.  Loved the island, but pack an extra suitcase for your own food.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity?

      By yellowstone · Posted

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity? I've read that there are foods that, although they don't contain gluten, can cause problems for people with gluten sensitivity because they contain proteins similar to gluten that trigger a response in the body. I've seen that other cereals are included: corn, rice... also chicken, casein. I would like to know what other foods can cause this reaction, and if you have more information on the subject, I would like to know about it. Right now, I react very badly to rice and corn. Thank you.

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
