We are spending 2 nights in Honolulu/Waikiki before heading out for a 7 day cruise around the islands. I have done some research around Honolulu but looking for more information about the other stops we have and any help would be greatly appreciated...

ARCHIVED Going To Texas Roadhouse For Dinner
bluesky8130 replied to mama2's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
We were just at Texas RoadHouse in December (Grand Forks, ND) and they still had a gluten free menu even. My husband absolutely loves it there & always orders the same this - Roadkill made using no grill shortening. -
wow...I guess I should rething where hubby & I eat breakfast when travelling. We normally go to Perkins (always asking about a dedicated egg grill) and share either an omlete or ham & eggs (I get to eat the pancakes). Because I have worked in many restaruants during my early years, I always ask about a dedicated egg grill because I have worked...

ARCHIVED Hope To Go To Dominican Republic Or Cuba
bluesky8130 replied to bluesky8130's topic in Traveling with Celiac Disease
We ended up going on a cruise with Carnival because we couldn't get straight answers from anyone. The cruise was great and very accomodating for my hubby. Each day they provided him with fresh gluten-free bread, he pre-ordered for the next day & recieved "melting chocolate cake" every night for dessert...which tasted just like mine & is heavenly... -
ARCHIVED Alcohol Once And For All...
bluesky8130 replied to Huey Vincent's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
We live in Canada as well & since being diagnosed, my hubby has drank only 2 types of liquor.....rum (white or amber only) and gluten free beer. In Canada, you can get La Messagere (gluten free beer) which is shipped from Quebec. Depending on where you live, it can be quite pricey ($24/6 pack here). He made the decision to stay away from Rye because it... -

ARCHIVED How Can Eating In Restaurants Not Get You Sick?
bluesky8130 replied to a topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
When we were in Tennessee, we had no choice but to eat out. We found some great places to eat and some very helpful people. On our first night there...after not eating since 6 am...we headed over to Outback. We made sure we went early so they would be so busy. We handed the Celiac Travel dining card to the waiter while I was explaing hubby's needs. Our waiter... -
ARCHIVED Need Help From East Tennesseans
bluesky8130 replied to glutenfreeheather's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
we were just in Knoxville & Pigeon Forge area and had great success. Eating out is always risky...however, we did go to Outback, Nascar Cafe, TGI Fridays & Hard Rock Cafe with great success. Hubby never got sick once & we left one of our dining out cards at every restaurant so they would have it on hand for the future. The managers were very... -
ARCHIVED Ibs Leads To Other Diseases....
bluesky8130 replied to danikali's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
add another to the list... Years ago I was diagnosed with IBS and they gave me everything they could think of...peppermint oil capsuls (yuck), tried changing my diet, told me to stay away from food that were high in fibre, then to eat foods high in fibre. While I was pregnant, told me to stay away from lactose in all forms (was diagnosed with lactose... -

Hi everyone. We are hoping to go to the Carribean this winter, perhaps Dominican Republic or Cuba. Has anyone had any experiance with traveling to an All Inclusive resort since Celiac Disease? Does anyone have any recommendations? blue -

bluesky8130 replied to lisaemu's topic in Traveling with Celiac Disease
We ate at the Hard Rock Cafe in Gatlinburg and they were fantastic!!! Both mangers came out and asked us questions...then verified with the kitchen on what we could eat. It was a great experiance. -
ARCHIVED Travelling To Knoxville
bluesky8130 replied to bluesky8130's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
Thank you both for your help. We leave on March 22nd and the anticipation (and worry) is really starting to build. We love to travel so this will be our first real test. -
Hi Everyone, We are travelling to the Knoxville area at the end of March. During our stay we will be in Bristol (for NASCAR race) perhaps Nashville and may even travel to Charlotte NC. Where are good places to eat? We already have a few places written down like Bonefish Grill & PF Changs but would love to hear some other places to try. Thanks in advance...

ARCHIVED Gluten Free But Don't Have To Be?
bluesky8130 replied to chrissy's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I went gluten-free to support my hubby & make meal time easier too. I have found that since being gluten-free, I am feeling so much better. Every once in a while I will have some non gluten-free bread and see to feel sick afterwards. I think I'm getting sympothy pains for him. -
ARCHIVED Traveling To Smokey Mt. National Park
bluesky8130 replied to kabowman's topic in Traveling with Celiac Disease
We are going in March to Knoxville, Bristol & Pigeon Forge so this is some good information. Been doing lots of research since this is our first real trip since hubby was diagnosed. He has been having lots of problems so we are both very cautious & worried. Still about 2 months till we leave so I can still do lots of reading....may be cross-eyed... -

ARCHIVED Trip To Dietician (rant & Long)
bluesky8130 replied to bluesky8130's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Luckily, I didn't have to pay for the visit (glad to be Canadian) but did get a name of a GOOD dietician at the meeting of our celaic association the other day. Hubby also has a cousin who is a dietician that did a study on celiac but still didn't have much more info - at least more current info. I am so glad to find a lot of info on the internet to... -
Well we have visited the dietician and wow, what an experiance. At the beginning, she told me that I probably knew more than she did...what a confidence booster that was. She had asked me how long ago hubby was diagnosed (just over 1 month) and what have I done so far. I let her know that I have decontaminiated my kitchen, got rid of the toaster & got...

ARCHIVED What Can Be Going Wrong....
bluesky8130 replied to bluesky8130's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Just a quick update... Hubby has been drinking Lactaid milk for the last week and is feeling much, much better. He has also been eating a very limited diet as mentioned but is a little afraid of introducing anything back in yet. He wants to give it a few more weeks. Thank you all so much for your help & suggestions bluesky -

thank you all so much....I really appreciate all the help -
So its been a month since our house went gluten-free and we have kept it that way (about 99.5% - still non gluten-free cereal for my son) but still my hubby is feeling like crap. He seems to be getting worse . He is getting bad pains in his stomach and his lower back...as bad as it was about 3 months ago. He is getting to the point wondering if it is even...

bluesky8130 replied to 2Boys4Me's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
2Boys4Me do you have a Sobey's near you? I am in Winnipeg and I have noticed that Sobey's and large Safeway stores have a good selection of gluten-free mixes. They are called "Celi-Mix" and are in the baking section. At Sobey's they also have some gluten-free breads and cookies. Check out these places that I found for you Bakeries Canyon Meadows... -
ARCHIVED Supportive Spouses?
bluesky8130 replied to Mjohnson73's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
We just found out for sure that my hubby has Celiac and I have told him when he started going through the testing process that if it was positive, I would do the diet with him. I want to show my support for him and I thought it would be easier if we both did it, that way I wouldn't have to cook twice or anything. Also that way he wouldn't feel like he is...
