Gluten Free Maui

frecOregon

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

      Possible celiac - need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Celiac or not??

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      @Scott Adams That's actually exactly what I ended up asking for— vodka tonic with Titos.  I saw on their website that Tito's is certified gluten-free (maybe many of the clear vodkas are, I don't know, I just happened to look up Tito's in advance). I should have actually specified the 'splash' though, because I think with the amount of tonic she put in there, it did still end up fairly sweet.  Anyway, I think I've almost got this drink order down!

      Inconclusive results

      By Wends · Posted

      Be interesting to see the effects of dairy reintroduction with gluten. As well as milk protein sensitivity in and of itself the casein part particularly has been shown to mimic gluten in about 50% of celiacs. Keep us posted!
