Where I Ate & Stayed In Waikiki/honolulu

Just got back from Honolulu. I stayed at the Marriott's Waikiki hotel, and one of their restaurants' chef, Chef Miles, made me Gluten-free pancakes in the morning for breakfast from my own Gluten-free pancake mix I brought with me (no extra charge!). That was so great to enjoy pancakes along with the breakfast buffet in the morning! I realize some people may not want to risk cross-contact in the buffet line, but I had no problems sticking with the bacon (the bacon was not sitting on bread), fruit, yogurt and fresh scrambled eggs.

We ate at Cheeseburgerland (Cheeseburger in Paradise) and ordered a mushroom avocado cheeseburger w/o bun (we toasted our own hamburger buns at the hotel (yes, we brought our own toaster to Hawaii!) and brought the buns to the restaurant). They were delicious! No fries, but their macadamia nut coleslaw was Gluten-free (given the ingredients they gave me), and we had no problems afterward.

The best meal was at the Yard House in Waikiki. They have a Gluten-free menu. We started with their Spinach Cheese Dip w/ no bread (we brought our own tortilla chips) - absolutely "to die for." I think ordered a BBQ chicken salad and my daughter ordered their turkey club sandwich w/o bread off their Gluten-free menu (she brought her own bun). Again, a great meal.

Hope this helps anyone traveling to Waikiki!

I am glad you had a great experience. One of our members here has worked to educate chefs in Hawaii and around the world about the gluten free diet.

My wife and I were in Waikiki/Honolulu in February. Two of the places we ate were P F Chang and Ruth's Chris Steak House. P F Chang has a good gluten-free menu and the staff was very accommodating. In fact, we ate there several times. Good food, if you like Chinese cuisine. Ruth's Chris didn't have a gluten-free menu per se, but we were told to just discuss it with the waiter. Everything was great, including a piece of flourless chocolate cake for dessert. I believe both are on Beach Walk St. Ruth's Chris is on the level above the Yard House.

      Thank you and I am aware that I should be eating a "normal" diet until tested it's kind of been trial and error for my diet or more like just ERROR! I about 1-3 bites a meal I'm to a point that 99 percent of the time I'm having trouble swallowing just about everything occasionally I find either something or a very small window of time that allows me to get very little of something! I am basically getting zero nutrition what so ever because I take one bite of the meal that I usually just slaved over just to end up tossing it when it's all said and done...did anyone else ever experience anything like this?  I am more then open to suggestions! It is taking a very extreme toll on me and my body forsure

      No! Do not start the gluten free diet until you know whether or not you will be having an endoscopy/biopsy to verify the blood antibody test results. Starting gluten free eating ahead of either form of diagnostic testing can invalidate the results. You don't want to allow the villous lining of the small bowel to experience healing ahead of testing by removing gluten.

      We offer a ton of recipes here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-recipes/ and have done some articles on fast food places, but keep in mind that eating out is a common source of gluten contamination: https://www.celiac.com/search/?q=fast food&quick=1&type=cms_records2 Many colleges now offer allergen-friendly, and sometimes gluten-free options in their student cafeterias: https://www.celiac.com/search/?&q=colleges&type=cms_records2&quick=1&search_and_or=and&sortby=relevancy PS - Look into GliadinX, which is a sponsor here, but many studies have been done on it which show that it may break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines.

      Thank you! What do you recommend in the next 7 weeks until I see my Doctor?  Just start my Gluten free diet?
