    It is a great list. I would add that in the kitchen, the cooks need to make sure they do not use the same gloves when preparing gluten-free meals and regular meals. There are many chances for cross contamination in restaurant kitchens and the chef/cooks need to be aware of it. Ken

    ARCHIVED Chinese Food

    kenlove replied to jasonD2's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    Just came from our local Chinese place where I had a number of great dishes they prepared using San-J and another wheat/gluten free soy sauce. When I was first diagnosed in 06, I went over and talked to the owners who I know because we always ate there. I miss some of the things but for the most part they really went out of their way for me. A number of...

    Your right that location may figure in the legal aspects. In Hawaii, we have different laws on each island as each has it's own health dept. which may or may not answer to the state health dept. Convoluted to be sure. On the Big Island people can sell homemade jelly at farmers markets but on other islands it has to be made in a county certified kitchen...

    I was having problems with some processed cheeses, monterey jack being one of them, pepper jack being another. Swiss and mozzarella have not given me any problems. With provolone it depends on who makes it. I can only tell from the color of the cheese at the local market. Had to learn this the hard way. I think it all depends on who makes it. Most of these...

    I get sick from licking envelopes so I suspect there the adhesive in the pods would do the same to me. Dont have the machine as I'm spoiled by growing my own Kona coffee. Ken

    You should be able to bring not liquid or gel foods and snacks with you. I had to go to Guam a month ago and had Continentals gluten free meal. the one gluten-free cookie was about all I could eat as they dumped bread on top of everything else. Now I just order the fruit plate!

    Maybe you can visit the place before hand or set up a meeting. No restaurants like people talking bad about them so I suspect they may let you bring in wheat free soy sauce to use on something or they can prepare something special ahead of time with advance notice. It usually works when I travel and know where the group is headed. When I dont, I just have...

    I'm 50 years older than your son but my sympathies are with him. I went through the vomiting spell for 6 months daily. As soon as I went gluten free it stopped after 2 days of being off of all gluten. I'm sure someone on the forum could give you the name of some doctor who specializes in children and understands celiac. Good luck Ken

    There are number of celiac vegetarians out there, Open Original Shared Link is a site where many gather. It's not been easy for me as I cant handle the salads and greens I used too. I also think of going back to meat at times but I will never go back to gluten! Ken

    Depending on where your boyfriends family is from, it may be very easy or very hard to find gluten free soy sauce or a health food store. Can't hurt to bring a bottle with you so you can enjoy sushi with shoyu. You can have some things like karaage if they are "breaded" with katakuri -- 100% potato starch. You just have to be very careful that new oil...

    Buy a box of Ball or Sure-Jel pectin which you'll need for the jam. Inside are a number of recipes for more common fruit like grape, strawberry and Cherry. We make over 100 types of jam and jellies with our tropical fruit from my farm but cant grow grapes in this part of Hawaii! Generally all you need are the jars, fruit to process, sugar and pectin. Most...

    Had to double check that what you wrote wasnt what I wrote-- I have to wonder about my system too. Sometimes I just cant figure out what caused it as I have no problems with other things == or didnt other than gluten. Maybe there is enough in the air to cause trouble although my wife no longer bakes anything here. She still has some regular bread around...

    I forget which tums it was but it has not given me a problem at all. I think its just the original plain type. Have also done the ST Josephs but it does not seem to do anything. Guess I just need to sleep it off! thanks Ken

    Yeah he acid reflux thing is terrible -- even when I dont eat. It often wakes me up. Will try the heat treatment! thanks!
  15. kenlove
    Thanks, The diarrhea has not been a problem when i get glutened -- well 99% of the time. Just pain which I dont have much of a threshold for. Will try the heat treatment and see if it helps. take care

    Thanks much Ursa, I had forgot about sepia. I used to take it for something but it was so long ago I forgot! Will try again! thanks again ken

    Even after two years of being diagnosed and as diligent as possible, accidents happen. Christmas day I was talking to a friends mom while she was breading shrimp. Big Mistake as I must have breathed in something as I had not eaten anything. By 6pm I was home in bed in pain. Yesterday I was glutened again although I cant figure out how. This time its a...

    There are a number of sorghum based soy sauces I brought back last year but never could find a boxed curry without some form of gluten. Seems like they may have something now. Will look again in March when I'm at this FoodEx show in Chiba. Ken

    Thanks for the info, I miss the quick S&B, Vermont and House curries I would make when rushed. I'll be back in Japan in March and if you remind me, I'll bring a bunch back with me in April. last March in Japan I went to a seminar on the increase in wheat allergies in Japanese school age children and was hoping the food industry would respond like...

    A few other restaurants to try are Chef Mavro's (* expensive) and his 2nd place Cassis which is less expensive. They will make gluten-free meals with advance notice and will substitute things on the set menus. 12th Ave. Grill ( Chef Kevin Haney) will also prepare gluten-free meals as will Town Restaurant ( Chef Ed Kenny), both in the Kimuki area...

    Had the same problem Joe, so much so that they thought it is Parkinsons are started me on a different med before the celiac was diagnosed. It was from the gluten and went away when I was totally gluten-free. They said it was from the lack of hormones. I spent a month where I could only walk with a cane -- when I could walk at all from it. It took almost...

    Dont give up! I had 3 normal blood tests here in Hawaii and finally a scope before they could confirm celiac which was backed up with a different type of blood test that they didnt know about here but my old doctor from Chicago told me about. There are so many small things that can cause the problems, especially cross contamination. After 2 years of being...

    I cringed just reading about your cringe. Good to know others feel the same about things like that. I had my culinary students do a few gluten-free meals during one of our public lunches and stayed in the kitchen to point out the cross contamination that occurred in numerous areas. They are learning and with luck this program will be adopted by all the...

    They said the Valentines day hearts are gluten-free too! With my last name that is always the big holiday around here!

    I"m ok with all of these except some of the salad dressings. Some I've seen contain gluten components. There really is no short cut for reading the labels. I know with the gouda it depends on the brand. Processed cheese they get in Hawaii changes each time they seem to get a shipment so I have to check each time or just buy imports that are really 100%...
