    When of my favorites to throw out when getting the pity look - " But look st all the calories I am saving". Works well, especially when the group is eating deep fried and breaded appetizers or big desserts :-).

    Ditto on "find me Gluten Free" app

    Watch out on the chicken if you cannot tolerate nightshades. They started adding paprika recently. So bummed! Kirkland shampoo and cream rinse are gluten-free, ditto with dog food ( heh, healthier for Fido too). The Costco magazine has stated that all the Kirkland spices are gluten-free and have never had a problem The Kirkland version of Immodium...

    helpful hint - to keep your traveling food cold, pack in an insulated lunch bag with a bag of frozen peas. Ice packs won't clear TSA, but peas do! Was just told recently that you can now take a frozen (frozen solid) bottlr of water with you through security. tried it last week at LAX as I had extra time. My carry on bag got pulled for the secondary inspection...

    - nightshades - dairy, including alternates almond, rice milk, etc ( unless baked in something) - eggs ( unless baked in something) - lots of vegetables -especially green ones - nuts, except for an occasional couple of almonds -and I think my latest might be items iodine content and or salt. Have not been able to reintroduce anything - going on...

    Gourmet Girls Gluten Free Bakery and Cafe - yummy sandwiches ( yes, a sandwich on homemade bread!), salads, soups, etc. on Oracle Road - always go here when I am in town. Love the Mexican wedding cookies and snickerdoodles -such a treat. For Mexican, El Charro has good food and a gluten-free menu. We go th the one on Oracle, have never had an issue....

    Regarding your question- Some of the portable "picnic" foods I keep on hand for when I don't have anything to premade to pack and take include: Tuna in foil packets , I add dried cranberries Sandwiches (paleo flat bread I make and freeze, (can't handle potato starch in Udis anymore) made with almond butter and pumpkin spread or fruit spread , Boars...

    A fine sipping anejo or reposado tequila on the rocks. Don Julio is very smooth , melts in your mouth. There also some new organic tequilas available on the market that are preety good.

    There is no scientific evidence to back this but I find it interesting that when I have used products with gluten, they cause problems . Not typical problems found when ingesting gluten, but other issues... For example.... Suntan lotion w G = very red sun burn, gluten-free= nice tan Hand and body lotion w G= sticky skin, gluten-free lotion= soft, silky...

    Hi Ken, The Brick Oven in Ventura, Ca is good, great to hear about option in Kihei. Any word yet on the new Hyatt Andaz property in Wailea?

    Bring your own food. I eat out a lot either socially or on business trips. I always bring my own food (in case there is not anything on menu that is safe) When the server asks for your order just quietly say "I have severe food allergies so I have my own food to eat" I will usually order a beverage. 90% of the time the server even brings me a plate...

    Just ate at Mono on Irving between 18/19th on Friday night while in town from California Had one of the best meals in my life . ask for the food allergy chart. It outlines what you can/can't have for any common food intolerance. Waiter was very knowledgeable and helpful too

    Aveda and Kirkland (Costco)

    I travel 1-3 times a month on business and always bring food with me to supplement what I can safely eat or to feed me if nothing is available. Costco sell a great soft sided cooler ( called Coolmate) that has flown all over the world with me. It can be checked as luggage (if you have liquids in it) I use frozen water bottles for cooling and then have to...

    Hi Ken, thanks for the suggestion, I'll be in P.S. at end of December and back to Hawaii in April. Big island this year. You always know the best places. Leslie

    For more affordable options, check to see if there are massage schools in your area. Usually getting a massage at a school about the same price as a pedicure! May not be fancy like a spa, but have almost always had a good treatment.

    More and more all the time. My #1 vote goes to Four Seasons Scottsdale (the exec chef there, Chef Mel, daughter has food allergies so he has labeled all menus and staff are very well trained). Was at Kimpton Hotel Solamar last week in San Diego and menu was clearly marked. Kauai Marriott is starting to make changes and found gluten-free snack items in Grand...

    May I also suggest Foil (or foil sheets from Costco ). Great for a liner on counters, in glass dishes, bakeware, etc. great cc saver Toaster bags. Awesome invention for anyone who does not always have access to a gluten-free toaster or grill. You can order from Amazon. They are like a baggie (made out of a material similar to an iron liner that quilters...

    Costco Kirkland brand shampoo and conditioner. Both gluten-free and surprisingly good. Also Aveda products.
  23. Lesx2
    Kirkland shampoo, conditioner, and body wash Kirkland spices And so much more. Check labels but I have purchased items including Food Should taste So Good brand chips, Mission tortilla chips, dried fruit snacks, meat in bulk, Aiellos (sp?) sausage, etc In their magazine they often note which products are gluten-free and had a good article in their...

    Thanks all. I had most of the natural remedies at home so I doubled up on those and will pick up the Vicks tomorrow. I am starting to feel somewhat human enough to venture to the store again!

    Kirkland ( Costco) shampoo and conditioner are gluten-free and I was surprised the changes in my hair- not losing as much, less spilt ends, softer, etc. Price is great too.
