Sorry that our local Hawaiian expert has just left the country for several weeks. I am sure that you can come up with lots of information here if you do a search for Hawaii.

Here are some health food stores on Maui. I used to live there and just came back from a trip there last month! I bet you could call if you have anything specific in mind. I'm not really in touch with the restaurants there anymore but if you have a kitchen at your condo you should be okay.

I don't know if it will be open in time for your vacation, . . . Whole Foods is opening a market in

the Maui Mall either late this year, or beginning of next year, according to an article in the Maui

News . . . Open Original Shared Link

I recall seeing 2 health food stores on Maui (The first being on the main street as your making your way out of the airport toward the other side of the island and the other in Lahaina). I believe the two stores were of the same chain although the name escapes me. Also, there is a grocery store in Kaanapali that I shopped at as we also stayed in a condo and cooked our own meals (saves a ton of money!). Finally, you'll find several road-side fruit and veg stands around the island which is great for grabbing a quick snack.

Enjoy your trip!

Hello, I live on Maui and I wanted to let you know there is another health food store here called Down to Earth. They even have a website. I shop there all the time and I just found that the smaller location near me has Enjoy Life cookies. While their gluten-free selection could be better, it's better than the standard grocery stores.

For the best selection of mixes and a few other products Alive & Well in Kahului is good. They carry Pamela's cookies. Some of their employees are very knowledgeable and helpful (while at other times the people in the deli had no idea what gluten was & kept thinking I was asking if there was dairy in something when I said the word "wheat").

Another good thing that I just ran across is a really great restaurant on the nothern part of the island called "Pan". It's in Haiku. The staff was very genuine and helpful in helping me to pick out a great dinner. While it's pricey, you do pay for the service you get. Most of their entrees are safe, and if you can do dairy then you can have their mashed potatoes too.

I hope you enjoy your stay!

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      In the U.S., most regular wheat breads are required to be enriched with certain B-vitamins and iron, but gluten-free breads are not required to be. Since many gluten-free products are not enriched, we usually encourage people with celiac disease to consider a multivitamin. In the early 1900s, refined white flour replaced whole grains, and people began...

      Keep in mind that there are drawbacks to a formal diagnosis, for example more expensive life and private health insurance, as well as possibly needing to disclose it on job applications.

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      Thanks for this Russ, and good to see that it is fortified. I spend too much time looking for M&S gluten-free Iced Spiced Buns to have ever noticed this! That's interesting, Scott. Have manufacturers ever said why that should be the case?

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the U.S., most regular wheat breads are required to be enriched with certain B-vitamins and iron, but gluten-free breads are not required to be. Since many gluten-free products are not enriched, we usually encourage people with celiac disease to consider a multivitamin.  In the early 1900s, refined white flour replaced whole grains, and people began developing serious vitamin-deficiency diseases: Beriberi → caused by a lack of thiamin (vitamin B1) Pellagra → caused by a lack of niacin (vitamin B3) Anemia → linked to low iron and lack of folate By the 1930s–40s, these problems were common in the U.S., especially in poorer regions. Public-health officials responded by requiring wheat flour and the breads made from it to be “enriched” with thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and iron. Folic acid was added later (1998) to prevent neural-tube birth defects. Why gluten-free bread isn’t required to be enriched? The U.S. enrichment standards were written specifically for wheat flour. Gluten-free breads use rice, tapioca, corn, sorghum, etc.—so they fall outside that rule—but they probably should be for the same reason wheat products are.

      Keep in mind that there are drawbacks to a formal diagnosis, for example more expensive life and private health insurance, as well as possibly needing to disclose it on job applications. Normally I am in favor of the formal diagnosis process, but if you've already figured out that you can't tolerate gluten and will likely stay gluten-free anyway, I wanted to at least mention the possible negative sides of having a formal diagnosis. While I understand wanting a formal diagnosis, it sounds like she will likely remain gluten-free either way, even if she should test negative for celiac disease (Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If her symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, it would likely signal NCGS).

      Thank you all so much for your advice and thoughts. We ended up having another scope and more bloodwork last week. All serological markers continue to increase, and the doc who did the scope said there villous atrophy visible on the scope — but we just got the biopsy pathology report back, and all it says is, “Duodenal mucosa with patchy increased intraepithelial lymphocytes, preserved villous architecture, and patchy foveolar metaplasia,” which we are told is still inconclusive…  We will have her go gluten free again anyway, but how soon would you all test again, if at all? How valuable is an official dx in a situation like this?
