  1. I sure know that off feeling-- its been so strange since all of this started - with leg pains so they gave me a test for deep vin thrombosis and vericose veins -- which run in the family. no problem so I started wearing socks at night which solved the leg pain issue. after that the flu- which turned to the pneumonia which they didnt catch at all and as...
  2. Thats a great one-- If all restaurants had that I wouldnt have a weight problem <G>
  3. HI, I would bypass the banquet manager and go directly to the chef. The manager often has no idea whats going on but the chef, by law in most places, has to be on top of things when it comes to whats being served. You can simply call the chefs office, and ask for the executive chef and tell him/her that you read that it was a good idea to call the chefs...
  4. Glad your back! I'll be ok if I dont cough, laugh, sneeze, talk above a wisper and so on. I never experienced the type of pain from a broken rib before-- -- Instead of rice, I'll start testing Awa, Hie and Kibi which are 3 types of millets from Japan. Here we just tend to lump them all together as millet but they really have it down. IN ancient...
  5. Do you mean instead of those colored plastic balls that kids like to jump in we could have an olympic sized pool filled with colored rolls of tp for adults to play in? <G>
  6. Bout time you showed up <G> I've had a hard time with brown rice in that past year too. never did before but my body is going though a lot of changes again that I've not figured out.I was supposed to be in INdia for 2 months but last week caught Pneumonia then broke a rib coughing and tory the muscles on the left side of my chest. -- yeah been...
  7. I always make my own too, often flavored with juices or fruit purees we make. Just think of the gluten-free tastes that you like and apply them into the dressing you use. Sometimes mixing some of the gluten-free salad dressings with a little mayo makes it really different. ken
  8. ELISA kits make allergen testing easier, claims Oxoid By Mike Stones, 21-Apr-2009 European food manufacturers can now use the ELISA Systems range of food allergen tests kits alongside the regular range of microbiological tests from Oxoid, according to the diagnostics company.
  9. Thanks much! I really dont want to get started on diabetes meds but may not have a choice as the genetics of my family is catching up to me. take care
  10. Looks like they want me to start on this diabetes medicine Glipizide / Glucotrol. Not sure what brand Kaiser will give me but most of them list starch as an ingredient. ANyone taking this with out gluten side effects? Ken
  11. Great new healthfood store called Island Naturals in the old industrial area. they remodeled the building and did a great job. Good selection of gluten-free products too although I think I bought out all their gluten-free granola last week. Down town there is not much of a selection for restuarants although if your by royal kona resort the chefs Mikal...

  13. Oat and quinoa possible semolina replacers in pasta By Stephen Daniells, 06-Apr-2009 Formulating pasta with oats or quinoa may offer pasta manufacturers alternatives to traditional semolina, and open up opportunities in the gluten-free market, says new research from Italy. Writing in the Journal of Cereal Science, researchers from the University of Foggia...
  14. I like the amaranth too and often bring t home from Japan which seems to be a little better than what I find in Hawaii stores. Still, we all need to have choices with and without the various combinations. Ken
  15.

  16. Great looking gluten-free menu they have too. Get them to open up here in Hawaii! Ken
  17. Very Interesting Lisa, Thanks for getting the info -- all the more reason to get back here and eat only uncoated fresh Hawaiian citrus!
  18. I've been using it for years with no problems. Always did like it the best. Also like the label since the guy in the sombrero looks like one of the Coop coffee workers. We all call him Mr Tapatio!
  19. Hi John, It has to be a tough situation for you and your wife. In my case I was diagnosed about 4 years ago and asked my wife to conform to my needs, especially since I'm highly sensitive. It took some time but we've worked things out for the most part. First of all, I cant have any conventional flour in the kitchen -- breathing any of it will usually...
  20. Gluten-free baguettes get formulation boost By Stephen Daniells, 23-Mar-2009 Combining buckwheat flour and guar gum could lead to the gluten-free French bread with
  21. Of Course we need a culinary school to take the message out to restaurants around the world. ( No I don;t want to be dean!)
  22. Sometimes they will use the same machine to make flavored coffee then not clean it before making regular coffee. They also might use a cleaning agent or non-distilled vinegar to clean the coffee machines. The cc is always a pain to deal with!
  23. Not sure about the Chicken in the UK, sounds pretty unusual and would be in Hawaii. You have to be careful of cross contamination issues with kitchen utensils and cookware etc. cutting boards that were used for bread and not cleaned properly for example. Some things like mustards and other condiments might have some wheat. I got sick here once from milk used...
  24. Just 5am here in the middle of Kona with thousands of coffee trees 100 feet away. $20 a lb is a good price for you but not for farmers. The cost to produce it is about $26. so coffee farming is not profitable. We only sell 7oz bags for $14 since it stays fresher longer when packed smaller. There are 750 farms with about 300 brands from different farms ...
