Ahhhhhhhhh Bali .. . ...I've been there a few times - just spectacular. It was years before gluten-free so no specific tips I'm afraid.

But if you're staying at an east-side resort, I'd bet it'll be pretty easy.

Good luck tho, and have a great time.

IF your 5 year old likes fruit, she will be able to try some of the best in the world like mangosteen, duku, sweet white guava and salak.

There are plenty of rice dishes and rice noodles too although they may have to tone down the spices for her.

Good luck and have a great trip

I am new to all of this, just being diagnosed and I am getting married in a few weeks and going to Bali as well for our honeymoon. Did you receive any responses or help with your question? Can you pass any of it on to me? Thank you!

Hi there Lynne,

I am new to this forum, Just joined a couple of minutes ago.

I know that this posting is about 3-4 months behind. I read with interest on your plight before such a trip, given the circumstances. I just have to add my 2 cents worth. May come in useful for future trip to Indonesia.

In Bali (Indonesia), it is not difficult to have gluten free meals. The important part is to ask for it during ordering, and making very sure that the restaurant staff understood the request.

Do not be bashful or shy in asking. Balinese are traditionally very helpful and kind.

Do tell me how was your holiday in Bali. Enjoyed the great food over there? I bet you did !!

Cheers ... Giovanni John B)

Hi Kerry,

I wrote a reply earlier on but was removed. Probably violated some of the board rules.

Anyway, Bali is very exposed to the international community. As such, the Balinese are quite informed and will provide you with Gluten-Free foods. However, You have to let the restaurant staff know and more importantly, you have to make sure that they understand your request.

Have a great holiday in Bali and enjoy the food and sun there ... and have a swell HoneyMoon !!

Good Lucks and Cheers ... B)

      Help!  My 5 year old daughter just stopped eating dairy and gluten due to her EoE and Celiac.  Her favorite candy in the world is tootsie rolls.  I did some research, and it sounds like these are the only options for finding something similar, but I can't find them anywhere to actually purchase.  Have they been discontinued??  Does anyone have another recommendation for a gluten-free/DF tootsie roll option?

      I wonder how long it usually takes and if it is dose dependent as well... or if some ppl have a more pronounced reaction to gluten than others   thanks again for all the great info

      Wow KK, thank you so much for all your attached info. I had a very quick scan but will read more in depth later.  The one concerning corticosteroid use is very interesting. That would relate to secondary adrenal insufficiency I think , ie AI caused by steroids such as taken long term for eg asthma. I have primary autoimmune AI, my adrenals are atrophied, no chance if recovery there. But I am in touch with some secondaries, so something to bear in mind. .  Niacin B3 Very interesting too. Must have a good read about that.  Im sure lots of questions will arise as I progress with dermatitis herpetiformis. In the mean time, thanks for your help.

      Welcome to the forum, @suek54, I have Dermatitis Herpetiformis, too.  I found taking Niacin B3 very helpful in clearing my skin from blisters as well as improving the itchies-without-rash (peripheral neuropathy).  Niacin has been used since the 1950's to improve dermatitis herpetiformis.   I try to balance my iodine intake (which will cause flairs) with Selenium which improves thyroid function.   Interesting Reading: Dermatitis herpetiformis effectively treated with heparin, tetracycline and nicotinamide https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10844495/   Experience with selenium used to recover adrenocortical function in patients taking glucocorticosteroids long https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24437222/   Two Cases of Dermatitis Herpetiformis Successfully Treated with Tetracycline and Niacinamide https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30390734/   Steroid-Resistant Rash With Neuropsychiatric Deterioration and Weight Loss: A Modern-Day Case of Pellagra https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12532421/#:~:text=Figure 2.,(right panel) upper limbs.&text=The distribution of the rash,patient's substantial response to treatment.   Nicotinic acid therapy of dermatitis herpetiformis (1950) https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15412276/

      Thank you all for your advice and the dermatitis herpetiformis article. The latter made me realise I had stopped taking my antihistamine, which I will restart today. The Dapsone has cleared the rash entirely but I still get quite a bit itching, absolutely nothing to see though. I know its notoriously hard to clear and its still relatively early days for me.  The iodine issue is very interesting. I do eat quite a bit of salt because I have Addison's disease and sodium retention is an issue. I also have autoimmune hypothyroidism, not sure how a low iodine diet would play into that? Because of my Addison's I am totally steroid dependent, I take steroids 4 x daily and cannot mount any defence against inflammation. I need to increase my meds for that. Now that I know what is wrong I can do just that if Im having a bad day. Life is very sweet, just so damn complicated sometimes! Hey ho, onwards. Thank you again for your advice.
