ARCHIVED Indian Pakistani Food And Celiac Peoples.
kenlove replied to mdmm's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Buckwheat is gluten-free, Soba is the Japanese name for buckwheat. Outside of Japan its hard to find the noodles that are 100% soba and those can be dangerous for us. It has to be 100% and you have to check the label. If your in a big city and have a Japanese market you can ask for juwari soba which is 100% but most Asian sections in other large groceries... -
ARCHIVED Response From Mitoku Brand In Japan
kenlove replied to Lisa16's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Thanks Lisa, Interesting that they would reply. I have a few meetings in Japan next month at the food show to get a better understanding of what they are thinking about for the future. I know the president of San-J in Nagoya and going to try to convince him to do some more gluten-free products. This food show i'll be it called Foodex, is hugh.8 football... -
This is so true! basically we need a magazine that reads like the forum messages!<G> What non-celiacs need to realize that this is not a choice for us. I had a argument Sunday at a Slowfood meeting with a person that really didnt get it an equated celiac with eating organic or not organic. This person was an idiot saying "Oh you could eat...

Sure wish we were talking about tropical fruit, thats where my expertise is. I research fruit for the university here. Cicer arietinum is the botanical name for chick peas or garbanzos. Most of the chana is from the same plant. The difference is when the word dal is used. Dal is many different plants. Sometimes dal can refer to the way a bean is split... -
ARCHIVED Parasites Question?
kenlove replied to holdthegluten's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
Before I was diagnosed two years ago the doctors here thought for sure it was a parasite, especially since I travel a lot in the tropics and jungles in SE Asia and ate a lot of of strange stuff. All sorts of tests and samples and nothing was found. Finally they came up with celiac after 6 months, went 100% gluten free and no more problems since. Sometimes... -
We have guests often and never serve anything with gluten. They are told why too, Often with an addendum of all things gluten can affect in the body and has been linked too. I'm convinced that gluten-free is good for everyone and make that clear. Usually our guests get into the experience. Some have reported back that they really watch what they eat now...

ARCHIVED Indian Pakistani Food And Celiac Peoples.
kenlove replied to mdmm's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Your right it would be good to have in separate threads. I'm still very sensitive and have reacted to millet although i'm not sure what type. Have also reacted to flax seed meal. I have no other food allergies, just celiac-- not that i trust the doctors here but nothing has showed up. So I stay away from millet and flax seed meal. If I get time soon... -
ARCHIVED Indian Pakistani Food And Celiac Peoples.
kenlove replied to mdmm's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Im also confused with millet. there are so many conflicting pages I've read. I just tend to not take a chance on it. Im trying to search in another browser window to find the reference I used which I cant find now but www.shrilalmahal.org/ millet.html is interesting. Even after two years i'm still really paranoid about using any grain that I'm not... -

Hi, I think vegetables are always the safest. saag and panner is ok. My favorite dish is bhindi masala, dal and chana. Aloo gobi is my wifes favorite.I dont know if the same brands are available in canada as in Hawaii. Most tasty bite prepared foods are gluten-free and it can give you an idea of what you can make yourself. Open Original Shared Link gives... -

Outside of March and July, I'll be at the airport!i'll be the guy fighting with the TSA people about pulling up in front to pick you up and being chased away after 23 seconds

I second that! Don't know what I would have done without finding all of you! ken

Seems great to have someone. We don't have TV here in the sticks so I've never seen her but every little bit helps. Thanks for the web site too. Once I found this place I kind of stopped searching for other celiac sites. Because of our fragile tourist based economy here, I feel it's essential that they pick up on this and develop guides for each Island...

That 3 years includes me. I had no idea until I was diagnosed. From seeing the messages on this forum it happens daily to others . Being a 60's type troublemaker, I still like to stir the pot. We've made some amazing inroads in Hawaii with a lot more to come. When I was first diagnosed there was only one person listed in the support group for the state...

I live on the Big ISland and dont know much about what goes on in Maui but I have seen other messages on the forum about health food stores and restaurants there. Try the search function for the travel and restaurant sections and I bet you can find it Ken

ARCHIVED Does Anyone Farm?
kenlove replied to ginghamkim's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Guess you have to grow different things where you are but 1/2 acre garden is nice and manageable. I don't get to Puna too often but had fun there last year searching for unusual Hawaiian bananas. take care -
Used to go to the Whole Foods on Division St. ( I think). Don't know if there is a Bonefish downtown but it's great place with a gluten-free menu. ken think

True, but it is a start for a highly specialized first time publication. In 2005 Martha's magazine paid circulation was 1,907,231 where as AARP was 22,668,583 Maybe what we need to do is try to work together write some stories on our own experiences to get for existing magazines. If a few of us have stories written that might help to effect change...

Wanda who wrote the story is really good and sensitive to all food issues. She is pretty good about answering email too. Last week she referred two other families to me, because they saw the story. Like you and others they are coming to Hawaii and unsure about gluten-free options. I think I'll write a grant to do a gluten-free Hawaii brochure or something...

I never get to Boarders here which is the only place that carries a lot of different magazines. Maybe we should get Oprah to do it! Your right that its time to stop hiding and being shy about it. The potential benefit to the vast numbers of undiagnosed is phenomenal as is the possible gluten connection to all the other health problems, especially in children...

Maybe we all need to think about an alternative to her publishing a magazine. There is obviously a need for a mass market consumer magazine that deals with food allergy issues. We would all buy it <G>! So how do we go about convincing someone to publish one? Do we back Scott, our fourm founder who already publishes the newsletter and updates we get...
-
Yep, my thoughts too when the results were gone -- maybe we all need to send more comments and express our disappointment. If only I could find the pictures I took of Martha in the 70s when she operated the Swifts Turkey Hotline!

Its about a 15 - 20 minute walk to Kings shops where they have Merrimans Market Cafe, Roys and a few other places including a steak house-- stay away from the food court though-- junk! Across from Kings shops is queens shops which Ive not seen yet but DK's sansei is opening next week. He has a few places in Honolulu and it should be really good. Didnt hear...
