    The cold and flu season is here and I have come down with a lovely case of the flu . Dragged myself to Whole Foods yesterday to try and find some products for relief and found most have gluten, lactose, maltodextrin, etc. What have you found that helps relalive symptoms and is gluten-free and lactose free? Thanks for sharing!

    Bobs Red Mill Cornbread mix gluten-free. As easy and quick as Jiffy and better tasting (IMO)

    Glee gum. All real ingredients, natural. Most gums sold at grocery stores and convenience stores have aspartame in them. If younger sensitive to msg, aspartame, etc be sure to read ingredient list carefully

    A massage helps. Helps break up everything stored in system so you can shed in through sweating, restroom, etc. Drink lot of water after massage

    Most Campbells soups have MSG in them. Major red flag. Also might be a problem with tomato ( nightshade) and/ or creme ( dairy)

    Defintely bring your own food to Universal. I have yet to find anything at the park to eat. I usually stick a sandwich (on Udis) and some fruit and granola bar in a small insulated lunch bag. There are lockers just inside the gate on the right if you don't want to lug around with you all day. I have never had a problem bringing food in. If i did I...

    Ditto to Avatars reply above for me

    I purchased iron pills at the Vitamin Shoppe store. If there is not a store near you might be on line. 28 mg iron, vitamin Shoppe labeled, specifically says right on bottle NO yeast, corn, wheat, sugar, salt, soy, dairy, citrus, fish, preservatives, artificial colors or flavors. While th e label didn't say gluten-free this was the best I could find....

    You are welcome. It also helps to freeze as much as you can. I usually take a sandwich (easy to eat on plane), fruit slices, and some granola type bars. --And freeze all the night before I leave. The insulated lunch bags work well and I have never had any trouble getting through security. As you know, you can't take liquids and I have found out liquids...

    I fly a minimum of once a month and never without an insulated lunch bag with gluten-free food with me. Too much chance of CC if you are even lucky enough to get a true gluten-free meal Hint. A bag of frozen peas keeps things colder longer and can go through security

    If you come over Topanga Canyon to the valley, Pizza Cookery has yummy pizza - they have a seperate gluten-free kitchen area. Also offer it with optional casien free cheese. One of the owner's relative has celiac and owns the gluten-free grocery store in Thousand Oaks so they are well aware of our needs.

    Hi Ken, Well I am shipping off my gluten-free box of goodies (along with confernence supplies) tomorrow. Looking forward to the tropical weather - it's been so cold and rainy here at home. Have'nt seen the sun in what seems like forever. If you don't end up traveling to Japan and are in the area of the Hilton, give a ring or drop me an email leslie...

    ARCHIVED Insomnia

    Lesx2 replied to willow's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    Valerian works to help me sleep - all natural. I purchase at Whole Foods - recommended by a homopathic doctor at a conference I was at. Better than Melatonin for me. Also had to eliminate multi vitamins that had B-12 in them, can't sleep or have wild nightmares if I have taken any B-12. May you all find something that works for you.. sweet dreams !

    Hi Ken, You made me laugh about the soy sauce! I was on a cruise last momth (and was impressed on how much they did for me), except the "superviosrs" in the buffet area, kept trying to offer me food with soy. I kept explaining that soy is made from wheat. The dining room staff was fantastic and I never had a problem. No need to take anyting special...

    Ok, here goes... First, I cook things overnight or during the day in the crockpot. It usually takes 5-10 minutes to throw things in the pot and away you go. In the crock pot I made chicken tortilla soup (and then put in glad plastic containers, freeze some, put some in refrig. Just microwave for 1 minute when you want to eat. Also make other soups and...

    Hi Ken, That is great news that the Hilton is so gluten-free friendly! Woo Hoo. The group we are bringing in is Health Net IFP/FB Sales Leaders Conference. I'll be at the property from March 8-18 (Group is in house March 12-17). My dietary needs (and any attendees) will also be provided in the banquet orders we send to the hotel, but I sure appreciate...

    A crock pot!! It's my favorite kitchen appliance. Just bought a new one this weekend at Costco for $14.99 because I wore my old one out. ( You can order on line from Target very easily too). I too have a schedule like yours. In the morning (or sometimes overnight), just throw in some meat, pork or chicken, gluten-free broth, gluten-free spices, some vegies...

    Hi Ken, I am a corporate meeting planner and come to the islands a few times a year. Stayed at Mauna Kea last fall (the renovated rooms are beautiful) and had wonderful meals at the property. In March, we have a group in at the Hilton Waikoloa and in April I will be at the Grand Wailia on Maui. It is interesting that a few years ago, we never had...

    Thanks for the good info. Didn't know Sansei could accomodate too. Is there an Alan Wong's on the Big Island, have only been to the outlet in Honolulu. Ken, are you a chef at one the properties? I'll be over in March for a couple of weeks on business and it's always nice to go somewhere where you know gluten-free requirements are understood :-) ...

    Other options on the Big Island... Daniel Theibunds (spelling?) in Waimea can serve gluten-free on request. Owner has celiac disease and chef, staff is very aware. Had the fish (stuffed ono that is their speiality) that was the best ever!!! Make sure to ask about the history of the place -- fascinating. Tommy Bahama's has a gluten-free menu too...

    I was in Cabo last week and had a great lunch at the Sandbar. Had beef nachos (make sure to ask that the chips are maize (corn) not harina (flour), fresh guacamole and salsa. YUMM! The best part of the Sandbar is that you can sit in the beach chair (free) with umbrella (just need to order beverage and /or food. You can get to the Sandbar by taxi or water...
