    Hi, The executive chef at the Marriott is Miles Tokikawa (miles.togikawa@marriotthotels.com). Once you check in, ask to talk with him about your needs. We took classes together years ago so you can tell him to call me if he has any questions. Across the street is Roys where my son Rob is the chef. Even with him I always call to let him know so that he makes...

    I like using whole soba or buckwheat instead of barley in soups. It expands nicely and has almost the same texture.

    I threw up daily for 6 months before being diagnosed a few years ago. That was the first a primary symptom before I started to get DH. Sure dont miss it all. I'f i get gluten by accident I have other troubles now but since going gluten-free i've not thrown up again. Ken

    Another option would be to use a dried piece of kombu, Japanese seaweed that you can get in most oriental markets. Most rice in Japanese restaurants is cooked that way. Ken

    Hi Laura I live in Kona and have never seen either here although I don't look for beer. There are a number of health food stores though. Island Natural, Kona Natural Foods and Healthways. One is in the Shopping center near Safeway above Kailua town, One is in Keauhou Shopping Center and the other in Mango Court in Kainaliu town. On Saturdays we have a...

    Good sushi places ( read that as expensive) often get nama or fresh wasabi which is great and gluten free. it's just the grated root. If they have that then your ok. If they mix the wasabi from powder or a tube then you have to stay away from it. You still have to be careful of the nori and make sure there is no shoyu -- soy sauce used in the processing...

    ARCHIVED Italy!

    kenlove replied to dancer29's topic in Traveling with Celiac Disease

    Hi, I worked in Italy 2 months this summer and found it easy to find gluten-free foods just about everywhere. At least everyone in restaurants is aware of celiac. If they dont have something safe they will tell you. Most places will find something you can enjoy. There are farmacia's everywhere which do have good selections of gluten-free foods/snacks. There...

    Hi missy'smom, Your right about the nori, besides the Japanese made ajitsuke, many of the Korean produced nori is dried with a soy sauce coating. Nanjkay is better off sticking to fish and rice. ken

    Yes by all means contact the caterer/chef to make sure you have something you can enjoy. Its a chance for you to educate some of the people you sit with when they bring you out a special meal that is usually (hopefully) much better than what others are served. Yeah Celiac sucks but at least you know your eating healthy .. ken

    A lot of the beans are not cured artificially although I guess it depends on where they come from. When I harvest mine, I just let them dry out naturally, about a month or so. Slice them the long way and stick 3 or 4 in a bottle of vodka or shochu ( distilled white liquor from Japan). Takes about a year for the full effect but the results are worth the...

    Never would have guessed onion -- thats a great one to remember!

    Just talked to a Univ. guy about the red ants in Hilo and what we can do to keep them out of Kona. The little fire ants are worse than the big ones since they climb and build nests in trees instead of the ground. Yep -- BAD ants!

    Im just glad the swelling is down and its not itching as bad. My test field for tropical fruit is about 100 yards from the largest queen bee breeder in the US so I'm lucky it doesnt happen more often. The bees never seem to bother me like the wasps. take care

    Guess it was pretty obvious that there is no celiac reaction to a sting but was curious. It was a yellow jacket or paper wasp that got me and it itches as bad as dh! thanks for all your replies ken

    Thanks for the tip!

    Besides getting glutened from cheese yesterday, I got stung badly. Was driving when a bee or yellow jacket flew up my shirt sleeve. Got me twice under the arm. Felt like getting shot and I was lucky to keep my truck under control. Wondered that if a bee pollinates wheat and then stings someone if that can cause a gluten reaction. Also wondered that...

    Every few months I'll treat myself to a piece of brie if there is a sale.. never again. Bad case of dh from a small piece last night. After checking their site, Open Original Shared Link They do mention gluten in the FAQ and that they do not make the claim since they dont know what their suppliers do. Have never had a problem before with it --and never...

    It might depend on what type of alcohol is used in the extract. Usually its distilled so it should not be a problem but there is the potential for contamination. It's probably a good idea to check with the company to be sure. Please let us know what you find out ken

    I use 90% soba / buckwheat flour & 10% rice flour for spaetzle. They are darker with the buckwheat but really good. Do the same for larger dumplings but not too large are they get like rubber balls! ken

    looks yummy -- added to my to try file one of these days when I get 30 minutes in a row!

    This sounds truly fantastic!

    I was for many years but lost it after diagnoses. Just cant process the greens like I used too. Was interesting when I went to a new dentist to this morning who asked if I had changed my eating habits in the past few years since my teeth were worn in new places showing that I had started eating meat.

    Finally got a good mention for celiac in the Vegetarian Times Oct. issue. Have not checked the 27 gluten-free recipes they mention but then we've got Sickchicks recipes on our forum. Maybe if we all contact the magazine (non vegetarians included) and ask them to list whats gluten-free each month, (not just Oct.'s celiac month) it might help increase overall...
