Gluten Free Maui


frecOregon

Recommended Posts

frecOregon Newbie

Hi--I found three great places to eat in Maui. The best was the General Store in Haili'imaile--helpful waitresses and fabulous homemade food from chefs who know all the ingredients. They even called the people who made the coconut ice cream just to make sure of the ingredients and I hadn't even asked them to. We went there twice. Another is Joe's, up above the golf course in Wailea--associated with the General Store and with the same knowledge of ingredients and readiness to adapt a recipe for you. The other place was unexpected--Fred's Mexican food on the main road (S Kihei road) in Kihei. They had a typed up list of safe and not safe things to eat and even knew the less obvious things like soy sauce.

There is also a health food store on S Kihei road right inbetween Kamaole beach parks 1 and 2 across the street near the sports bar. It's called Hawaiian Moon and they have gluten free bread, non-dairy milks, and other essentials. The prices will make you faint, but all Hawaiian food prices are high.

Best tip I ever got was to buy all your favorite gluten-free products on Amazon and have them shipped to the hotel. I wish I had done that in the past.

I adore Freds!!! it's good to know they have gluten free menu items. There's also a health food grocer on the main road into Kahalui (across from the Border's strip mall) prices are insane but there's a good variety of items

      I was not diagnosed with celiac disease, but am gluten-intolerant. I have been gluten free for almost 10 years. In April of this year (2025), I got a steroid shot. I have been able to eat sourdough bread before with no problems. After the steroid shot, I developed gluten-neuropathy, and I could no longer eat sourdough bread, and now the neuropathy returns with small amounts of gluten.  I also get POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) when I eat gluten. My heart beats so fast in the middle of the night I can't sleep. I'm usually up for hours.

      This is my current exhausting battle with the medical field. As Ive mentioned in past I was diagnosed in 1994 by colonoscopy and endoscopy and was told i was celiac and to stay away from wheat and Ill be just fine.NOPE not at all in fact im worse thanks to being disregarded and my new word that was given that fits perfectly medically gaslight for over 30 years.I was not informed by anyone about the condition other than its a food allergy. Long story short if it wasn't for this website.I would be so much worse. I have been glutenfree since 1994 and was diagnosed with many other foods in 2007. I have stayed away from those items, except dairy sometimes I'll cheat when I know I'll be home a few days.My work history is horrible thanks to my digestive issues. I had my past primary for 25 years and everything im going through, he danced around celiac disease. My last day of employment was March 08, 2023 I was a bus driver and took pride in that.I get sick easily and when covid hit me and I stopped taking tramadel to push to give my bloated body a break, I haven't " bounced " back.Though not that well before but worse now.I applied for disability because yet again I was fired solely on health, which by the way seems to be legal because no lawyer wants to help.I was denied and my primary stated let me fluff it up a bit.FLUFF IT UP A BIT?He has been my doctor for 25 years! All that Im going through was basically ignored and not put together. I switched primary doctor and seeing new gi and its EXTREMELY EXHAUSTING because they are staying all my test came back clean, good, its normal. Except THANKYOU LORD JESUS HLA DQ2 is positive that Itty bitty tiny little test of positive FINALLY VALIDATION RIGHT.No, Im still struggling and fighting its not fair

      Since medical insurance is not affected directly by celiac disease on an ongoing basis (i.e. medication, medical devices, daily monitoring, home care nursing, etc), I rather doubt anyone would be denied a policy for having it as a pre-existing condition. I’ve certainly never been and I have two pre-existing conditions that are managed with diet alone and both are long-well-known by my doctors and via medical testing and procedures. Insurance is all about risk management, not health.
