    Good to know your experience was positive. Although I'm based on the Big Island I've involved with the culinary schools and around the state and keep pushing for better education on celiac and other allergies for student chefs.

    ARCHIVED Kona Hawaii

    kenlove posted a topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    I usually forget to mention this when people ask me where to get a safe gluten-free lunch in Kona. Open Original Shared Link Nasturtium finally has a web site. Even if you don't call ahead, Diane can always put together the most amazing salads. Ken

    I'll be working with chefs in bangalore from Friday and then farmers in Kerala from the 27th so if you have any other questions about grains I'm sure I can find the answers although my speciality is fruit, many of the growers have both. At many restaurants you can order ragi rotis which are really great

    ARCHIVED Guam

    kenlove posted a topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff

    Been working on Guam the past few days and finally found a great place. Meskla. Talked to chef owner Peter Duenas who said the number of requests for Gluten free meals has been growing. They will prepare all sorts of Chamoru fusion cuisine that is safe for us given a days notice. I didnt give him notice when I got there but they prepared a great gluten...

    Ragi is the name for millet which is pretty common in your area. Ragi roti is really good. There are some other names for the different types and colors of millet. I forget buckwheats name but you can also get amaranthus flour. Chana is the chick pea flour and i've seen moog dal flours too. I'll be working in Bangalore and Kerala next week and can ask...

    just heard back that kikkoman is in the process of rolling out a new gluten-free soy sauce in the US market. could not get more details on how its produced ( dedicated factory etc.) or where it is available in the US -- just that its not everywhere yet.

    Just heard back from the Kikkoman VP buddy in Japan who has never heard of any gluten-free soy sauce that they make but is going to ask the president of their overseas division when he seems him later today. He did say that what he knows about is not gluten-free.

    I'll send an email to my old friend who is a VP for Kikkoman in Tokyo and see if he can get a us an answer. Personally I think its very dangerous to us for celiacs. The distillation process is not 100% and the sauce is sometimes "finished" with more wheat extract. San-J is my favorite although recently I use more Braggs aminos which is better than...

    Also talk to the hotel pastry chef-- they are usually pretty good about it and most most hotel chefs are getting getting more and more familiar with gluten-free baking.

    I know that pinball machine feeling! Had to give up coffee which was not fun since I grow it in Kona but cant drink it anymore. That was a big difference especially with the D> It is a laxative. If you go gluten-free you really need to do it all the way with no cross contamination from shared toasters and colanders etc. I guess from my perspective...

    I've done a green juice fast for up to a week and although hard the first time, I felt a zillion times better. You really reboot your system and taste buds. Celery will taste salty by itself! simple plain food was much better than befor after a fast. good luck

    They first gave it to me for neuropathic pain relief. When I went off it the difference was pretty remarkable. My experience begs the question if there is some relation to celiac where the lack of villi prevents getting whatever is needed to produce the ALA in cells. Who knows... just glad the pain is not there.

    What it does is release more glucose into the blood stream so that it gets converted to energy instead of being stored. I stopped all sugar last July and now off of all meds. I know when the ALA is working since my sugar will go between 80 and 124 everyday but now and then it will shoot up to 170 followed by 150 and 120 -- after those 3 days it...

    A week after being back on alpha lipoic acid there is no pain and no problems. No side effects either. Looks like I'll be on this for a long time -- I can also feel the difference in energy since it helps process glucose into energy as well as deal with free radicals --

    I have to travel a lot, both domestic and international. Often visit a grocery store salad bar- Health food stores also have them too, YOu still have to be careful and make sure the dressing is gluten free etc. but more and more places are offering gluten-free items in the salad or hot bar even in local groceries. If your staying with family then having...

    I make a vegan version with veggie broth, almond milk instead of cream and no salt.

    Will do -- Just need to get to the store to get more!

    Started getting a lot of leg pain then realized that I had stopped taking Alpha-lipoic acid, which is an antioxidant that is made by the body and is found in every cell, where it helps turn glucose into energy, 2 weeks ago. Originally it was for diabetic nerve pain which I have not had since July after a month in a clinic get my heart fixed. Anyway, started...

    I live in Kona and have to work in Honolulu a few days each month. There are a number of places there that can prepare safe and excellent gluten-free meals with a day or advance warning. 12th Ave Grill in Kaimuki is my favorite. Call chef Kevin Haney and tell him, Same with Town & chef Ed Kenny. Alan Wongs, Roys, Chef Mavro and so on -- These places...

    Thanks for posting this Scott. Excellent story, Spending as much as 3 months a year in India, I found it much easier to get gluten-free and vegan foods than any of the other 49 countries I've been too..
