Hidey Ho fellow travelers.

I'm expecting to be in Hawai'i at the end of October. Will be on Oahu for about a week, with only a couple days of that for personal time, and I'm planning to take an extra 5 days or so for fun. Where should I go?

All suggestions welcome! :D

Much depends on what you want to do.. Lyon Arboretum, Foster Gardens, Or Frankies Nursery. If you want to try very strange fruit, got to Frankies in Waimanalo.

Places to eat if you let them know about gluten-free needs ahead of time, Chef Mavro's, 12th Ave. Grill, Town,

If you decide to come to the Big Island, I'll show you around Kona.

I will be on Oahu some Sat. at the end of Oct. when I get back from INdia. Will be working on an avocado branding test at The KCC farmers market .

I am strongly leaning towards the Big Island as I'd like to go to Volcanoes. When traveling I prefer to go and see things that are unique to an area. The Farmer's Market is a great suggestion, as is the arboretum.

Pearl Harbor is on the list to connect with history. Maybe the hike up Diamond Head.

I'm less interested in looking through shops or lying on the beach....

Other than having to tke a picture for AP once I dont think Ive ever been on the beach there. ALmost more of a mountain person.

Volcano hikes are amazing as long as you dont have asthma or other lung troubles. So is the top of Mauna Kea and the telescopes.

My son used to be Pearl -- its worth seeing the history -- North Shore and Sunset beach with the surfers and big waves too.

Still best over here though!

We visited in 1989 and thoroughly enjoyed it. The hike up Diamond Head is worth it. Things may have changed in twenty years, but we needed to take a flashlight to see in the tunnels. The history at Pearl Harbor is fascinating. Be sure to go out to the Arizona Memorial. I'll think of other things in time.

20 years is a long time -- its about time you come back too!

      Oral thrush question

      Hi Everyone, I do appreciate your replies to my original post. Here is where I am now in this journey. I am currently seeing a Naturopath. One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD. My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow. She has put me on some digestive enzymes...

      Gluten free beer ?

      I'm sure it's chemically perfect. Most of them taste lousy!

      Oral thrush question

      Hi @JulieRe. I just found your post. It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida. I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment. In the meantime, I have been working with a functional...

      Advice while waiting for testing

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct r...

I have the following symptoms : facial flushing, Red dots not bumps în face, bloating abdominal distension, hair loss, depression anxiety even with meds and even bipolar. Fatigue extreme to the point of not being able to work. All of these after I eat gluten. Could I have non celiac gluten sensitivity? Thanks anyone else with these symptoms?

      Hi Everyone,  I do appreciate your replies to my original post.   Here is where I am now in this journey.  I am currently seeing a Naturopath.  One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD.  My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow.    She has put me on some digestive enzymes.  She also put me on Zinc, Selenium, B 12, as she felt that I was not absorbing my vitamins. I am about 5 weeks into this treatment, and I am feeling better. I did not have any trouble taking the Fluconazole.

It's already helping to make me feel better (with some ups and downs, of course), so I do think the yeast is definitely a problem for me on top of my celiac disease and I'm hoping my GI doctor can look into this a bit further.  So, how about you?  Did the candida come back, or is it still gone following your fluconazole treatment?  Also, was it awful to take fluconazole?  I understand that taking an antifungal can cause a reaction that sometimes makes people feel sick while they're taking it.  I hope you're doing better still !

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:
