We are going to Hawaii on the 18th of April and are staying at The Bay Club at Waikoloa Beach Resort.We are flying from So Carolina to Arizona and are staying there for 1 night and then on to Hawaii. I cannot take too many of my foods--they will either spoil are get crushed so I will need to buy food when I get to Hawaii. Are there any stores near by that carry gluten free foods?Can anyone advise me as to what I should pack to eat on the plane. The trip to Arizona won't be bad but I really do not know what to take to eat on the plane from Arizona to Hawaii. I would imagine that will be a long flight. We have never taken a trip this long since I have been Dx with Celiac's. I would appreciate any help. Judy in So. Carolina )

I hope you have a great trip.

If you are going through phoenix, Az you should check out Lynn Rae's bakery Gluten-Free Creations.

She is the best gluten-free baker of all the things I've tried.

And if you have some time definately have some gluten free pizza at Pizza Picazzo. Be sure to ask for the gluten free menu, they have treats and other stuff on there as well. YUMMY

I've heard good things at Sweet Maries Hawaii, but I haven't been back to check it out yet.

Hope this helps some. Keep asking around, you will find someone else who has all the info. You are not alone.

Hi Judy,

We live in Kona about 2 hours south of where you'll be staying. Hope you'll have a car as there are not a lot of food stores around

Waikoloa Beach. There are some great restaurants that can prepare gluten-free meals given advance notice. There are health food stores and grocery stores in Kailua town, about an hour south of you. On the 19th if you drive South to the Keauhou Shopping Center I'll be set up at the famrers market from 7 to noon with a lot of unusual fruit and my wifes gluten-free breads. One of the better health food stores is there as well.

Kona Natural Foods 322-1800

closer to waikoloa is healthways ll in the Parker Rnch Shopping Center and downtown in the crossroads shopping center.

There is also a healthfood store in waikoloa village, the closest to you.

If you have any questions while here, feel free to call 323-2417

I'm heading to Kona on the next Sunday (4/18). We're staying in a condo on Ali'i drive. Are there any local restaurants that accommodate gluten-free? It's looking like we might be making our first trip to the Outback Steakhouse in Kona. It seems kind of sad to travel to a such a beautiful place and have to look for chain restaurants. I'll go to the health food store once we arrive, do the have nice produce?

Great new healthfood store called Island Naturals in the old industrial area. they remodeled the building and did a great job. Good selection of gluten-free products too although I think I bought out all their gluten-free granola last week.

Down town there is not much of a selection for restuarants although if your by royal kona resort the chefs Mikal Lamb and Zach can prepare gluten-free meals -- Manago in Captain cook will also fix me gluten-free meal/

Small lunch place called makalii catering does great salads. Its across the street from island naturals. Devin will make you just about anything. All the hotels up north do gluten-free meals when asked in advanace., They keep things around in case someone doesnt ask but when you give them notice they will make something special.

have fun in kona

      Thoughts? Non-endoscopic Celiac diagnosis in two year old

      Okay that is really good to know. So with that being positive and the other being high it makes sense she diagnosed her even without the endoscopy. So glad we caught it early. She had so many symptoms though that to me it was clear something was wrong. yeah I think we had better test us and the other kids as well.

There are some people for whom the dairy protein casein can cause this but by far the most likely cause is celiac disease. Especially when your small bowel lining is "scalloped". Your Serum IGA 01 (aka, "total IGA") at 245 mg/dl is within normal range, indicating you are not IGA deficient. But I also think it would be wise to take your doctor's advice about the sucraid diet and avoiding dairy . . . at least until you experience healing and your gut has had a chance to heal, which can take around two years. After that, you can experiment with adding dairy back in and monitor symptoms. By the way, if you want the protein afforded by dairy but need to avoid casein, you can do so with whey protein powder. Whey is the other major protein in dairy.
