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.

Open Original Shared Link

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

      need help understanding testing result for Naked Nutrition Creatine please

      By RMJ · Posted

      They don’t give a sample size (serving size is different from sample size) so it is hard to tell just what the result means.  However, the way the result is presented  does look like it is below the limit of what their test can measure, so that is good.

      @cristiana,  I react the same way.  Dairy consumption flushes out my digestive system within an hour, too! As casein is digested, it forms casomorphins that bind to opioid receptors in our bodies.  This is similar to digested gluten peptides being able to attach to opioid receptors in our bodies.   We have opioid receptors throughout our bodies including lots in the digestive tract. Casein raises tTg IgA antibodies just like gluten consumption does, which leads to further intestinal damage and continuing inflammation.  No wonder our bodies react to it by pushing the "emergency evacuation" ejection seat button! The mother of my childhood friend was British and introduced me to drinking tea properly with milk or cream.  I miss it so much.  And chocolate ice cream.  Not worth the after effects, though.  I've found taking Omega Three supplements (flaxseed oil, sunflower seed oil, evening primrose oil) helps shake those dairy cravings.   Green leafy veggies like broccoli, kale, and greens (mustard, turnip, collards) are great sources of calcium.  Avoid spinach as it is high in oxalates that block calcium absorption and may cause kidney stones.  Yes, more leafy greens are needed to reach the same amount of calcium in a glass of milk, but the greens have other benefits, like increased dietary fiber and polyphenols that act as antioxidants, reduce inflammation, and promote health.   Exposure to gluten (and casein in those sensitive to it) can cause an increased immune response and inflammation for months afterwards.  The immune cells that make tTg IgA antibodies which are triggered today are going to live for about two years. During that time, inflammation is heightened.  Those immune cells only replicate when triggered.  If those immune cells don't get triggered again for about two years, they die without leaving any descendents programmed to trigger on gluten and casein.  The immune system forgets gluten and casein need to be attacked.  The Celiac genes turn off.  This is remission.   Some people in remission report being able to consume gluten again without consequence.  Another triggering event can turn the Celiac genes on again.   Celiac genes are turned on by a triggering event (physical or emotional stress).  There's some evidence that thiamine insufficiency contributes to the turning on of autoimmune genes.  There is an increased biological need for thiamine when we are physically or emotionally stressed.  Thiamine cannot be stored for more than twenty-one days and may be depleted in as little as three during physical and emotional stresses. Mitochondria without sufficient thiamine become damaged and don't function properly.  This gets relayed to the genes and autoimmune disease genes turn on.  Thiamine and other B vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients are needed to replace the dysfunctional mitochondria and repair the damage to the body.

      Hi, I bought Naked Nutrition Creatine. It lists itself as gluten free but is not certified. (It used to be, but they dropped it in the past year or two apparently.) I wrote the company and asked them what testing results they had for creatine and they sent me the attached, which says the test result for gluten is <0.025MCG. I'm used to seeing test results as ppm, so I'm not sure what <0.025MCG means. Can it be converted to ppm easily? I want to confirm that it is safe to use.

      When I was still recovering my gastroenterologist suggested I bought lactofree product as I was very bloated.  So I bought some from the supermarket and from memory, I drank a nice big glass of milk - and it went right through me literally within an hour or so, if my memory serves correctly.  I came off dairy completely next and it worked like a charm, but started to reintroduce quite gradually it as I missed it! To this day, if I overdo dairy products, they work like a mild laxative.  I've never wanted to give up milk completely as I like it so much, and my mum had osteoporosis and it's an easy way of getting calcium.  But it doesn't really 'sit' well with me.   You may need to experiment a bit as when I was healing certain dairy products were worse than others - I could cope with one brand of Greek yoghurt, but I got extremely and painfully bloated with another brand of live British yoghurt.

      i have been strictly gluten free for 7 months. this includes avoiding anything that may contain gluten and making sure surfaces and appliances are clean. i am 18 years old in australia and my tTG-IgA results were 69U/mL, pretty low compared to most people's, for reference. i feel the exact same as before. sure, i was pretty much asymptomatic/silent. the worst i'd get was occasionally bad stools and pitting of the nails/brittle hair since early childhood - and i was diagnosed with low iron and vitamin d which checks out due to easy bruising and such. but those symptoms have remained. maybe i'm jumping the gun, sure. i know it can take years to fully heal. but being over half a year in, i feel that i should be, y'know, healing. i'm nearly at my wits end and wondering if i should have a piece of bread or something to see how i go - to see if i possibly have refractory? my mental health is declining as i feel myself wanting to bang my head against a damn wall out of frustration every day. cravings haven't gotten better. look, i love the stuff i still can have, like salads and such. OH! i haven't lost any weight, which is mind boggling considering i eat very healthily now! i've always been on the chubbier side which is atypical of coeliac. i just don't know what's going on with me. i try to remain hopeful but i'm just so sad all the time. thanks for reading
