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

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
