    Hi Ken! You know, at the Volcano House they had one of your tropical fruit posters up by the door that goes out to the observation deck. That was pretty cool. Yes, I kept puzzling over why it was taking so long to drive places-- it was like a time warp. Maybe there is such a thing as Hawaiian miles! 3 hours to go 98 miles is really something. A...

    Hi Ken! I actually did send you an email with the flight info and everything but you must not have gotten it. So I just kind of thought either you were super busy or you didn;t want to meet in person because of the whole internet aspect. I was kind of bummed. But then it turns out that Kona is about 95 miles away and that it takes kind of a long time...

    Dang Elonwy-- thank your mom for me (Mahalo!) I got the snaps at the Natural Foods store that is in the Walmart mall, turning left out of the airport. If it weren't for that little store I would have been in REAL trouble. The supermarkets were not so good-- I stopped in several and found very little that I could take without having a way to cook. ...

    The funny thing is that I did go to the Big island. I flew into Hilo and drove to Akaka Falls and then down to the Volcano National Park. I did not know how rural it was, nor did I know that there were no restaurants in that area. Luckily I stopped at a natural foods store and bought fruit andgf ginger snaps, which I lived off of the whole time I was on...

    I just got back from a week in Honolulu and I had a great experience at the Hilton Hawaiian Village. If you call ahead, they can get you what you need for every meal. They took good care of me and made arrangements for every meal. You can eat at the Tapa cafe, the Hau Tree grill, Bali by the Sea and the Village Steak and Seafood Grill. They are even...

    Glutino broth is just a boullion powder that comes in white containers. I meant to say you could use any type of broth you like if you add a bit of starch. My supermarket sells it, but you can order it here. You are right-- pamela's doesn't exactly make a traditional dhosa (-: but they are actually pretty good and they were on hand and fast (crucial...

    This started out as a risotto, but I was out of arborio rice. It turns out this is close to a snack served in Sir Lanka. In a sauce pan sautee 2-3 garlic cloves in a bit of oil. Add in 1 sweet yellow onion (cut coarse). Add in two tomato, cored and quartered 2 cups of water 4 tbls of glutino broth (chicken or mushroom)* (note-- you can use broth...

    I have a pretty good tempura batter-- I use it for onion rings and shrimp. You take four egg whites and beat them until they are bubbly. You add in baking soda, salt, ground ginger, ground chili (the spices are add ins) and then you start putting in the flours. I use equal parts of rice, tapioca and potato flours and I wisk them in until I like the consistency...

    I live in MN and have crossed back and forth frequently. I am 2+ hours South of the border. I have successfully crossed back into the US with jars of peanut butter, crackers, cans of tuna and other fish, cookies, bottled and canned drinks (including citrus juices in tetrapaks), candy, gum, chocolate, yogurt and cheese, fresh non citrus fruit (including...

    I have been reading this thread for about a year now and a couple of times I have seen posts by "old timers" or moderators with rules to help newbies. I have a couple of them here (with attributions). Can you add some more to help new people out? From Happygirl: Rule #1: Never eat anything without reading the label first. Rule #2: Consistently...

    Oooh.... a thick slice of toasted artisan seven grain (seibenfelder) bread with real butter (I am gluten-free/cf)! And to be able to eat a piece of wedding cake... baklava... a slice (one slice!) of pizza with everything... giant begian fluffy waffles from Pannekoekan... an ice cream cone... with real ice cream! giant ravioli stuffed with...

    I have the nitrates/ nitrites problem too-- I flush bright red from my chest to the top of my head. Feed me a piece of lunchmeat and watch me glow like rudolph! I also have a similar problem with sulfites/ sulfates (which also cause joint swelling) and MSG-- not to mention several topical sensitivities. Is this set of sensitivities common with celiac...

    Biggest bummers: 1. Ener-g bread. Come on! I mean really. How can they sell this stuff? 2. Panaderos lemon flavored cookies-- they are flavored dust. Good God! 3. DeBole's pasta. Whoa nelly. Slime city. 4. Van waffles. What is up with these? They are hard as hockey pucks. 5. Gluten free pantry mixes. I have never (NEVER) had one...

    I remember 23. When you are 23 you are invincible and you feel like nothing can ever hurt you. It is a magical time. But it does not last very long. It is only a false illusion. And you have two major ticks against you. But you have a tremendous advantage! You already know what you need to do to stay healthy and invincible. Hundreds...

    Sorry-- I went back into old emails and found two more. However, I am not sure they are available on the American market. They are from Guerlain and they answered me only a few months ago. Here they are: Mascara Le 2 : G040 665 Mascara Maxi Lash : G040 122 I am not sure if they are waterproof. I will go see if Sephora has them.... Good...

    Mascara is one of the most challenging items to find gluten-free. It is also very important because there is some thought on this board that you can absorb gluten through mucous membranes, like the lining of the eyelids. If you are not as sensitive you may find mascara is not an issue for you-- then you have oodles to chose from. Sadly, I have not...

    My favorites (gluten-free/ cf)-- I like a hearty breakfast. lifestream wildberry waffles with skippy natural peanut butter or pamela's pancake mix made into dhosa (follow the recipe for crepes on the package) with homemade syrup (any fruit or pecans boiled with brown sugar, vanilla, a touch of oil and water) or a wedge of tortilla espa

    Hi! If you are going to do a mixed kitchen, it is useful to think of it like a kosher kitchen in a way. You are also going to need dedicatd (i.e. gluten free) items like a toaster, baking ware (cookie sheets, bread pans etc.), mixing bowls, rolling pin, pots, cutting boards, pizza stones.... anything where there is a chance the gluten may "stay with...

    My brother works for Farley-Sathers which owns the rainblo gum factory in Canada as well as the Mexican company canelas which makes the little chiclets type gum in wrappers of 5. They buy raw materials from a number of different countries and suppliers. And sometimes the candy is made in one place but packaged for sale in a place that just does packaging...

    Here is what I use. It is quick and easy and pretty consistent. 1 cup of domata flour 1/3 cp of olive oil (or other) salt (about 1/2 tsp) 1 whole egg stir together by hand-- it will be a little dry/crumbly. Add some warm water (a couple of tbs or so-- it depends on how big your egg is) and then add a bit more flour bit by bit until you get...

    Oh, it is the big D withing about 35-40 minutes of eating the gluten. It is fast. And then I am sick 8-10 times within the first hour or so. It tapers off from there and last 4 days minimum. If I am super lucky (ironic) I will develop DH blisters too. It is painful. With mom and dad, it was more things like cookie sheets and toast crumbs on the...

    Last time i went to Aplebees I got well and truly sick, so there you go. it just depends on what you order and how careful they are. I do not eat out at all if i can avoid it. Every time i have eaten out I have gotten sick. And I got sick from T-day dinner at mom and dad's from cc. That one really hurts. Next year I will bring my own food. Lisa

    I was listening to the radio today and I heard this program. It stopped me dead in my tracks. This woman is a doctor (she is in her 70s) who has a lot to say about the limitations of medicine, coping with chronic disease (she has chrons and has had 8 surgeries) and how we cope. She teaches doctors in medical schools how to listen. It is a fascinating...

    I forgot the soaps for the shower and bath: Korres liquid soaps/ shower gels (almost all are safe) Korres solid soaps (not the wheatgerm one but milk and calendula are safe) Juara liquid soaps (one-- the tiare- is too heavily scented) Caudalie liquid soap (light fragrance- citrusy from grapes) Lush shower gel (many types okay) 100% pure shower gels...

    Thanks Foodlens! We forgot the dairy! But you had our backs. :-) And you are right-- we also forgot to say it really depends where she goes.
