  1. A friend sent me this story ken ------- Gluten-free vegan diet could protect arthritics' hearts, study By Lorraine Heller 18-Mar-2008 - Arthritis sufferers who adhere to a gluten-free vegan diet could be better protected against heart attacks and stroke, according to a randomized study published yesterday. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA <java script...
  2. I've found its often the other way around in Hawaii. The Japanese nori is just seaweed and the Korean is season with soy sauce. Really have to be careful which one you get. ken
  3. thanks for the info -- there is still something wrong with thinsg being labeled as they are. gluten free should be gluten free. Maybe of hte public knew the governments rules concerning how much rat hair and other things are allowed in processed foods, maybe things would start to chang.
  4. you may not be able to see it without japanese installed -- dpending on the computer your using. - ken
  5. I dotn have the info with me but i'm sure someone might be able to help. I do have a not I did up which lists things we cant have. oh just found it at Open Original Shared Link here is the other thing I wrote. good luck ken ? ? ? ? ? ? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ??????????????????????????????????...
  6. There is a natural food store, island naturals I think that is across the street from Prince Kuhio Mall and in the same shopping center as Office Max and Ross. Its on the corner when you first turn into that mall. They have a number of gluten-free items. Kona I can tell you about but HIlo is always a question. You can always bring your own soy sauce to...
  7. i bet it would help. Wish I had one while walking around a trade show lat week. I do plan to buy some while I'm here in Japan. If it helps with pollen, it should help with flour. ken
  8. My guess is that this 20ppm would have something to do with the manufacturing of gluten-free products even in a dedicated facility. They always seem to cloud the issue though, free should be free. Yeah I would bet they are just covering themselves. have to wonder how 20ppm would affect some of our more sensitive members. take care
  9. Hi, Sorry I could nto find the message you sent but hope you can get this one. when do you leave? where in tokyo will you stay? Have you been here before and if so can you get by in japanese? All these things will help. scrolling though all the mesasges will too but to start -- yes bring the dining cards with you it will help in some places but in others...

    ARCHIVED Berries

    all fresh fruit is fine and gluten free. The problem comes wiht some of it that is dried. It can be coated with wheat starch as well as sulphur. cant go wrong with fresh berries~!
  12. Hi, I cant even walk into a bakery if they have made anything recently. Going though a trade show last week got me good too. Restaurant supply show where they were showing off the latest pizza ovens after tossing dough in the air. Also got glutened last year while talking to a friend who was breading shrimp. For me breathing something is even worse...
  13. Thats Great! Sometimes it takes time but its worth the wait. I've been married 32 years and still cant complain. I'm very happy for you! Ken
  14. If its only green tea its fine. Some of the blends even herein Japan have mugi or barley mixed with them. Dont know numi but has soon as I saw jasmine green then it rang a bell as a blend. Ken
  15. almost all of what we get in Hawaii is pressed and processed. Didnt realize it until I got glutened by a slice I tried once. I supposed if you get your own slab to cook it should be ok but the sliced processed stuff can be dangerous. ken
  16. Usually I just use fresh citrus like Yuzu or kabosu as a dressing. Maybe some olive oil if I cna get a tiny package. The convenience stores are great. Family Mart is my favorite although the salads at AMPM are pretty good. I'm sure i'll be ok if I dont eat for a day or two. I am going to visit a few health food stores tomorrow and get a picture...
  17. After a little more than a week into my month long trip, I got wacked yesterday from of all things Hagen dass! Too busy to get to a restaurant, I stopped at the ampm mini mart for a salad -- They have great salads here even in these types of places. Got a little mini cup of hagen dass ( read mini as smaller than the old US dixi cups) plain chocolate. About...
  18. When it first happened to me I thought it was an allergy to mango which causes a similar reaction. It was bad since I do research on tropical fruit. Finally I learned the good news I could eat mangos again but the bad news was I had celiac!
  19. Guess its good and bad news. Good that the levels are normal but you still need to find out why your passing out. Too many doctors make assumptions that its stress or some other catch-all thing. Had to tell one HMO doctor to never assume as it makes an - ASS of U & ME These days when I pass out -- like on the train here in tokyo yesterday, its...
  20. Hi Meline, I'm still in japan until april 3 or 4. Its a long time to be away from Hawaii but i cant complain. i'm glad your ok! take care
  21. cant say for sure but I dont think any of their breads are gluten-free. I've never seen one that was, at least in Hawaii. ken
  22. Thanks its not me but it sure is good to know these places exisit and that companies are thinking about real quality gluten-free products. take care
  23. They gave me some to bring home but i've not had a chance to try things yet. may try to cook something up at my friends although i worry about the cc from their kitchen. I will have lots of pictures to upload once I have time. I know these companies would love to get into the growing US market and just hope we can all find a way to make it happen! take...
  24. you mena we have to change all the recipes
  25. Another great find at the food show in Japan Casabe gourmet company from Venezuela! They make a wide variety of gluten-free crackers, flour and tempura batter mix! Its all based on the cassava (Manihot esculenta) Open Original Shared Link I've tried all the different gluten-free crackers at health food stores in hawaii and these are far better...
