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!

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By cristiana · Posted

      @Gigi2025  Thank you for your interesting post.  Some of what you say chimes with something my gastroenterologist tells me - that he has clients who travel to France and find the same as you  - they will eat normal wheat baguette there without issue, for example.  His theory was he thought it might be to do with the locally sourced wheat being different to our own in the UK? But I have to say my own experience has been quite different. I have been to France twice since my diagnosis, and have been quite ill due to what was then (pre-2019)  poor labelling and cross-contamination issues.  My TTG test following my last visit was elevated - 'proof of the pudding', as we say in the UK!  It was not just a case of eating something like, say, shellfish, that disagreed with me - gluten was clearly an issue. I've also been to Italy to visit family a couple of times since my diagnosis.  I did not want to take any chances so kept to my gluten free diet, but whilst there what I did notice is that coeliacs are very well catered for in Italy, and many brands with the same ingredients in the UK are clearly marked on the front of their packaging that they are 'senza glutine'.  In the UK, you would have to find that information in the small print - or it puts people off buying it, so I am told!  So it seems to me the Italians are very coeliac aware - in fact, all children are, I believe, screened for coeliac disease at the age of 6.  That must mean, I guess, that many Italian coeliacs are actively avoiding gluten because, presumably, if they don't, they will fall ill?

      Inconclusive results

      Thank you both very much. I’m pretty familiar with the various tests, and my older two girls with official dxs have even participated in research on other tests as well. I just felt overwhelmed and shocked that these recent results (which I found pretty dang conclusive after having scott clean labs just six months ago) would still be considered inconclusive. Doc said we could biopsy in another six weeks because my daughter was actually way more upset than I anticipated about the idea of eating it for years before doing another biopsy. It doesn’t hurt her, but she’s afraid of how it may be hurting her in ways she can’t feel. She’s currently eating mini wheats for breakfast, a sandwich with lunch, and a side of pasta along with every dinner, so I’m hoping we’re meeting that 10g benchmark mentioned in that second article!

      Potential celiac need advice

      Have you tried a genetic test to look for Celiac genes?  No gluten challenge required.

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @ElisaAllergiesgluten, Have you tried going on a low histamine Paleo diet like the Autoimmune Protocol diet?  A low histamine AIP diet would help your body rid itself of the extra histamine it's making in response to allergies.  Are you Celiac as well?   Since we need more thiamine when we're stressed, adding Benfotiamine, a form of Thiamine Vitamin B 1, can help the body calm down it's release of histamine.  Benfotiamine improves Sailors' asthma.
