I am going to Oahu, Hawaii for Christmas this year. I would love to hear any suggestions or information on gluten free places to eat. Thank you so much ahead of time!!

(I get nervous about traveling without knowing a couple of "safe" places ahead of time)

Hi, sorry I'm new to this site. My son and I are both celiac and are travelling to Oahu in March. We've never been there but have travelled safely to other countries and just ate what we knew wouldn't contain gluten. To be on the safe side we have rented a house for our stay and I wish I didn't have to cook on holiday but it's the only way I feel safe. I have checked out a few health food stores on the island to do our grocery shopping but would like to eat out a few times during our stay. I wish you a safe and gluten free trip. Would you mind reporting on the forum any restaurants you do find while there? That would be appreciated. Thanks!!

Better late than never eh?

I recently went to Hawaii (Oahu and Kauai) and had FABULOUS gluten-free eating experiences at:

Oahu: Waikiki: La Cucaracha, Mexican, fresh, wonderful service and delicious. Duke's Canoe Club in Waikiki. Good serivce and when I stated gluten-free my server knew it right away and made menu suggestions for me. Excellent buffet for Breakfast AND Lunch. Down To Earth had lots of gluten-free food to buy and gluten-free pizza, smoothies and salad bar. I went to a LUAU at the Polynesian Cultural Center, again great service and yummy food. I reserved ahead and made sure they noted Gluten Free on my reservation. When I got to the Luau food area the head buffet person showed me through the line and showed me what was safe to eat and I did not get sick.

Kauai: Sweet Marie's, a gluten-free dedicated bakery from a gourmet baker! Decadent desserts that I haven't had in years, I had here! Reasonably priced and Marie is really a Sweet person! She'll even tell you where to eat and shop gluten-free locally. Roy's, Absolutely wonderful! The first thing the server asks is "Does anyone have any food allergies", superb, but pricey. LUAU: Smith's Tropical Paradise is where I received the best gluten-free dining experience in Hawaii. I emailed ahead to make sure they could accomodate a gluten-free eater. Sure enough they did and stated "While we have several of our food items on our buffet with gluten, you can still go through the buffet line for those items that you are able to eat (we'll walk you through the buffet before dinner starts to point out what isgluten free) and we'll also prepare an additional plate of food that is gluten free. For example, the mahimahi can be grilled and we'll have steamed white rice. If that is fine with you, I think that there would be enough for you to eat at the luau. We'll ask our kitchen to prepare an extra plate of gluten free food to supplement what you can get at the buffet. When you get to the dinner area, please ask for Ingrid and she will take you down the buffet line to show you what is

      Celiac flare years after diagnosis

      Bread has about 8 g of protein per 100 g, so a piece of bread weighing 125 mg contains 10 mg of gluten. Bread has a density of about 0.25 g/ml, so 0.5 ml of bread contains 10 mg of gluten - i.e. a bread ball 1 cm in diameter. I think it would be unlikely to ingest this much from throwing bread out for the birds.

      Sciatica came to mind for me as well. You might want to get some imaging done on your C-spine.

      Maybe this is sciatica? When mine acts up a little, I switch my wallet from one back pocket to the other. this isn't a substitute for more serious medical help, but for me it's a bandaid.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      OK so I just learned something completely new about this for the first time in years, that is REALLY WEIRD. One of my nerves that likes to "burn" or whatever is doing it every time I bow my head! I mean it is completely repeatable. Literally every time. Once my head goes beyond a certain angle *boom*. Nerve goes mental (lower right leg pain). What the...

One of my nerves that likes to "burn" or whatever is doing it every time I bow my head! I mean it is completely repeatable. Literally every time. Once my head goes beyond a certain angle *boom*. Nerve goes mental (lower right leg pain). What the hell. I've never seen a direct trigger such as this before that I can recall. The pain was the usual type I get from this problem - I suspect somehow the head movement was interrupting descending inhibition processes, causing the pain to leak through somehow.

      Zaalouk moroccan eggplant salad

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      I've only made this a couple of times but it's really easy and I love the flavor. If you can, use all of the ingredients to get the full palette of flavors. I use fresh or canned tomatoes and I don't worry about peeling them. If you don't have harissa, there are replacement recipes online. If you don't have the greens, I suggest adding a little chopped baby spinach or celery leaves to add a dash of green color to this red dish. Best eaten in first couple days because flavor tends to fade. Leftovers are still good, but not as vibrant. Ingredients 2 medium eggplants, partially peeled and cut into cubes (original recipe says 1 in, but I prefer 1/2 to 3/4 in) 2 tomatoes, peeled and crushed 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped or minced 1 tablespoon fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons spicy harissa (I use Mina brand) 1 teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon paprika ½ teaspoon black pepper 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice 1 tablespoon tomato paste (optional) Salt to taste Preparation     • Heat olive oil in skillet or pot over medium heat. Add all ingredients and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cover and cook on low heat for an additional 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.       • Serve warm or cold as a side or with bread for dipping. Enjoy!
