    I've asked them to take a wire bush and clean part of a yakitori grill at my friends place in Tokyo. YOu can get really ill from the cross contamination with just a little sauce sticking on something that would otherwise be ok. The distillation process in alcohol can "kill" the gluten so I can drink some barley based things like Japanese shochu. Not...

    Sure is sad but thats what these companies have done to us. So darn jaded that they will have a hard time to earn back the trust.

    Anytime, if you come to the Big Island I can give you the names of the chefs to talk to before hand to make sure you get something special. Lots of great fish here, you just have to be careful they don't dump soy sauce on it! Take care Ken

    Its not as had as it seems depending on where you visit. I live on the big island and VP of the chefs group and celiac for 7 years. On the Big Island, 12% of the visitors at the hotels require some special allergy menu now. When I was diagnosed no one knew what celiac was but now all the hotels here have numerous Gluten free options and dedicated areas. ...

    Thanks for adding your comments Thomas, There are a lot of gluten free friendly places in Tokyo now and its growing, just have to explain it to some places but they are learning. I've seen a lot of changes in 30 years working there, Maybe we should have a gluten free offline meeting in June when i get back. Ken

    The problem is the grass started from a seed which of course contains our problem. When they're talking about things in terms of ppm, parts per million, or gliaden or gluten protein molecules, how can you take a chance. Granted some are more sensitive than others but after y years of being celiac there is no chance I would ever try wheat or barley grass...

    every brand is a little different, la choy has no wheat but extremely high sodium. San-J makes wheat free tamari in a ragular and a low sodium. Braggs liquid aminos is really good and a common substitute for soy sauce in Hawaii. good luck ken

    Hi Eric, I'm celiac for 7 years, vegan for 2 and have had a place in Japan for 30 years although I dont live there full time.There are a lot of other things you can eat and some you have to work to make sure of. Nori is one of them. Some nori is imported form Korea and processed with Shoyu aka wheat and water. There might be a few things your eating which...

    they never mentioned the word partial to me-- i'll ask. the cortisone didnt help me at all but it has in the past with other problems although come to think of it I passed out after the third shot in the foot with it. i'll never try this stuff again!

    when i did check into the content, the company mentioned that there could be gluten in the chicken feed. my knee is a little better but I will never get the shot again. take care

    wow - -very interesting. i sent the lin to my kaiser doc. 4 different friends have been getting the shots with no reaction but then i'm the only celiac

    Thanks much, Other the celiac I really dont have other problems although I am vegan and have not had eggs or any other animal protein in a few years. I'll have to do some research when I have time

    ANyway have experience with Synvisk-1? This is the injectable medicine made from rooster combs that helps replace cartilage in the knee. I had the injection and had an immediate allergic reaction and passed out for over an hour. The next day I started breaking out in the worse case of DH i've ever had, all over the shoulders and neck. The company says...

    Although I like brown and wild rices most folks here in Hawaii who are over 50 seem to mix brown and white. Restaurants are offering it as well now. Diabetics here are told to eat brown and not white.

    Have you found a source or brand that was always safe? I used to enjoy it

    Could be the degree of sensitivity. I thought I was going to die after having something that I was told was gluten free -- later to find out, Oh yeah there is wheat grass in it.. There is a fair amount of disagreement on it's status so if it doesnt bother you, your lucky!

A new law, the first of its kind, regarding gluten free labeling has been put in place for foods sold in supermarkets, restaurants, cafes, and other places where food is sold. With three new labeling categories, the new law gives shoppers more...
