    Hello, has anybody any suggestions for gluten free options at LAX airport, specifically terminals 2 and Tom Bradley International? I saw there's a Built Burger. Has anyone been there? Thank you!

    Just warning you all that Cheezels are not longer gluten free by ingredient. My daughter has eaten them for years with no problem as they were gluten free by ingredient. They did have a may contain statement but we often buy products with a may contain and have had no negative reactions whatsoever. Today I just happened to look at the ingredient listing...

    That's quite strange. If it had gluten in it you would think they would have it in the contains statement. I will go an have a look today when I am at the supermarket. Maybe the breadcrumbs were made of soy if that is what it had in brackets. Legally if a product contains an allergy causing ingredient such as wheat, milk, nuts, eggs etc. it must be listed...

    Why would you need gluten free hairspray? Firstly I would be surprised if hairspray had wheat in it and secondly unless you ingest gluten it cannot have any effect on you. Shampoo, moisturisers, makeup etc. does not absorb into your intestine through your skin and therefore is safe to use. You have to orally consume gluten for it to have an effect on...

    Italy is in fact great for gluten free. There is very good awareness of celiac disease there as they have the highest rate in the world. We had no problem there. Greece will be fine too as a lot of the food is naturally gluten free. The UK should not be a problem as awareness is quite good there also. Also Spain was pretty good too. Can't comment on...

    We were in the US a couple of years ago (from Australia) and my celiac daughter ate the fries and had no problem. People need to realise if they are saying there is no detectable gluten than they are fine to consume and they are always in dedicated fryers here in Australia and I assume the same over there. There are ingredients that are derived from wheat...

    Hi, apparently the gluten free weetbix will be in store this week in Coles and Woolworths. Check out their facebook page for more info.

    Good to hear! We have also been on two Royal Caribbean cruises with our celiac daughter. One was to the Mediterranean and the other the Caribbean. Both were very good with gluten free awareness and availability. On our last cruise 2 years ago gluten-free was marked on the menu which was even better. The bread wasn't great though. Shame about the airline...

    I remember looking at this place a few years back. It is a chateau in France which specifically caters for those on a gluten free diet. www.chateaudevillars.com The awareness of gluten free in Europe is very good in places like Italy and Scandinavia plus the UK and Ireland. You need to narrow down where you want to go and then do some research...

    I think many people would thank you for your contribution to the education of chefs on the islands. Education is definitely the key in improving awareness. When our daughter was diagnosed celiac 15 years ago we could quite easily get gluten free foods but awareness was hit and miss. There weren't that many places that had gluten-free menu's etc. but the...

    Thanks for your reply Ken and apologies for the late reply. Thanks for all your helpful suggestions. I have done some research myself and found a few places in Waikiki that we can eat at some of which have a gluten free menu. I like the look of DK Steakkhouse which has a gluten free menu. One thing I have noticed at restaurants in the U.S.A is that I...

    Hello, We are thinking about visiting Hawaii later on this year from Australia. Our 17 daughter is celiac and was wondering if anybody has any suggestions re. eating gluten free around Waikiki and Oahu in general. We have been to the US before (Disneyland, New York) and managed okay by doing a lot of research beforehand. Awareness of gluten free is...

    Thanks Ken. It's great to hear that Hawaii is improving in awareness. We might not get there next year as we had our big trip this year and it can get costly but we definately plan on going sometime soon. The 12 hour flight is not too bad either. If you do come to Australia I can give you advice on where to go for gluten free though I am no vegan expert...

    I have one more question re. McDonalds. Has anyone had the McFlurry's? We noticed you can get Reese's McFlurry's there which sound delicious as we don't have them here. The website says it is gluten free and are a couple of the other flavours. What has been your experience with McFlurry's?? Thanks!
