    Thanks Ken!

    Hi, I'm travelling to Hawaii in a few weeks and was wondering if anyone has recommendations on restaurants, particularly those that offer gluten-free vegetarian options? We are going to Kona on the Big Island and then to Lahaina, Maui. We are staying in a condo in both locations and are hoping to eat in a few nights, so recommendations on grocery...

    Hi, I may be writing too late for you, but thought I would post anyway. I currently live in Ireland, and have very rarely encountered a problem eating out, even in hotels. As the other posters mentioned, Ireland is one of the easiest places to travel gluten free. (Most of the problems I encounter eating out is finding gluten free food that is also vegetarian...

    Hi, I've just returned from my trip and thought I would write a couple notes about eating gluten free in Hong Kong, the Philippines, and Japan, in case anyone finds themselves heading that way. Hong Kong Hong Kong was the easiest place to eat gluten free on the trip. Gluten free foods can be purchased at health food stores (though I brought enough...

    Thanks to you both! I figured those would be answers I would come across! I lived in South Korea briefly several years ago (my unsuccessful travels), but was hoping there might have been some changes in the gluten free world since then (I know coeliac isn't well known in Asia, but I had my fingers crossed anyway!). In your experiences, have you ever...

    Hi, I'm heading to Hong Kong, the Philippines (Manila, Bacolod,and Boracay), and Japan (Fukuoka) for about 3 weeks in April. I was wondering if anyone has traveled to one or all of these locations while gluten-free and could offer some advice/suggestions? I will be at a wedding in Bacolod (and theoretically the food is taken care of), and I am staying...

    HI. I was in Chicago for a conference last year, and ate at the Weber Grill. It was pretty good. They have an online menu: Open Original Shared Link. Vegetarian options are marked on the menu--there seem to be more vegetarian options on the regular menu than the gluten-free menu (don't know if the vegetarian in your group also requires gluten-free). The restaurant...

    Hi. I'm from Colorado, though I recently moved. I can't say I eat out much, but I like Udi's Bread Cafe, Abrusci's Italian, and Lala's Wine Bar (all are in Denver). I hear Panzano is pretty good as well. Root Down in the Highlands can do gluten-free, dairy-free for some of their menu items. Here's a list a local restaurants from GIG Colorado: Open Original...

    Hello, I can recommend a cookbook and an online resource. Here they are: "Welcoming Kitchen" by Kim Lutz I haven't used this cookbook a ton, but I've liked the recipes that I've tried. The cookbook is vegan, and she doesn't use soy. It's a pretty small book, but the recipes are pretty easy. The Intolerant Gourmet (Open Original Shared Link) ...

    Agreed! Pretty sure I'm not trying to be trendy, and I'm guessing no one else in this forum is either.

    ARCHIVED Ireland

    Thanks for posting your experience! I'm going to Ireland in a couple weeks, and I've been a little nervous (it's my first time travelling abroad since going gluten-free). Your suggestion about the tea is life-saving, and I can't wait to try that resaurant! Thanks again!

    Hi, I'm from Denver, too, and I've been gluten free for two years. There is a meetup group for people with Celiac and gluten intolerance called the Gluten Intolerance Group of Greater Denver (Open Original Shared Link). I've found the group to be helpful since many of the members have been gluten free for several years. The group usually meets once...

    Well, it looks like Qdoba uses whey in the adobo seasoning they put on the chicken (it's the only dairy on their chicken and adobo seasoning ingredient lists). Whey is found in a lot of products, but I don't know how common it is in meat seasonings. I guess it's just one more thing to look out for.

    Hello, I'm not really sure how helpful my response will be, but I thought I should post anyway. From what you tell us about your breathing and sinus problems, it sounds like you're having a reaction to something. Whether or not it's gluten, it's hard to say (my issues with gluten are digestive). You might consider making an appointment with a general...

    I'm guessing Landshark Lager has gluten in it since lagers usully contain water, hops, malt (from barley), and yeast. I think the only gluten-free product produced by Anheuser-Busch, which makes Landshark, is Redbridge. In any case, it you're interested in gluten-free beers, here's a list of products by country: Open Original Shared Link I'm not sure...

    This looks yummy I've been craving naan bread for a long time. Thanks for posting the recipe. I can't wait to try it!

    I haven't used Roberts before, but I'm guessing you need to add something to it. Have you tried adding xanthan gum or guar gum? Since gluten-free foods lack binding agents, you need to add something to hold doughs together. As a rule, guar gum is generally added to wet ingredients, and xanthan gum is added to dry ingredients (you can use a combination...

    Things will get better, don't worry! Since you were recently diagnosed with Celiac it's possible that your body is only in the beginning stages of healing. Although I do not have to deal with microscopic colitis and addison's disease (both of which I know are difficult), it took me about 5 months of a strict gluten free, dairy free diet before I really...

    Nice comment. The longer I'm gluten-free, dairy-free, the more I have come to realize these things. I don't think we were meant to consume all the things we do. I have to say that sometimes being gluten-free, dairy-free is no fun, but I've also never been as healthy as I am now. Life is short enough, why spend it stuffing our faces with things that make...

    Thanks again everyone for your responses! They will be very useful as I prepare for my trip!

    Usually about a week for me...I start feeling better after a few days but it takes a few more before I feel completely back to normal and can eat properly again.

    Excellent point, Jestgar. I've always eaten in restaurants while travelling, but I guess I just need to realize that this may not be the best idea anymore. I'm planning on staying in hostels, so I'll try to stay at one's that offer kitchens. I'll probably save some money, too! Pac, thanks for the website. I'm a little confused about wheat starch, though...

    No, but I hope to find some gluten-free restaurant cards.

    Hello, I'm traveling to Poland this summer for a couple weeks, and I'm really nervous about eating gluten-free and dairy-free. I've been to Poland before, but it was before I was diagnosed. I've also travelled abroad a couple times after diagosis, and I can't say that I've ever been very successful at avoiding gluten (due to the newness of the diet)...

    Korea is really tough for gluten-free, especially when eating out. I would really avoid any red pepper paste and sauces, and be careful of barley water, which is served often in restaurants. I also think your safest bet would be Bibimbap (rice with veges), but you might make sure that nothing has been marinated in soy sauce. You could also do BBQ or samgipsal...
