Traveling to the Grand Canyon from Michigan - Places to Eat

My wife and I will be traveling to the Grand Canyon this September from Michigan. Yes, I know that gas prices are going to be costly.
I searched this forum for suggestions on where to stay and eat but lot of the information is outdated. I hope I can get some current tips
on where to eat and stay during these crazy times. My wife and I want to stay visit the South Rim and East Rim.  I plan on bringing a cooler of food but I
understand that no microwaves or AC are in the hotels in the South Rim. My wife is not a Celiac so hunting for gluten-free food is my problem - lucky me. Also, if you have any tips on how to best get to the GC from MI I am open to suggestions. Thanks

Wow, this sounds like a big trip!

Not to discourage you in any way, but have you checked into flight and hotel prices for Las Vegas? The reason that I ask is because at 4 hours and 40 minutes drive from the South Rim it is a very doable day trip from Las Vegas, especially for this time of year. Of course you'd need to rent a car for this, or join one of the many tours that are offered from Las Vegas.

Las Vegas offers a multitude of hotels with more options, better prices, and things like buffets and many gluten-free restaurants:

PS - For the driving version, or even flying, also consider staying in Flagstaff, AZ, as it's only about 1.5 hours south of there, and they have many more hotel and food options. You could fly to PHX and rent a car, then drive to Flagstaff in a couple of hours, or just drive there from MI. Flagstaff is also along the original Route 66 from Chicago to LA.

      I've never had problems with quinoa but I always rinse it well before cooking in case it's processed with other grains. I think quinoa is classified as a seed. I can't eat grains at all but I can eat all seeds. Ain't the human body a pandora's box of surprises???

      Hi knitty kitty, Scott and all, Thanks for kind words and asking!I will def. talk about histamine intolerance  on my next visit to gastro doc. My doc.gastro says that lactose or casein is very unlikely to create marsh 3b histology like gluten in adults in intestines. (that was previous question for Scott) Regarding my last EGD the villy was OK so refractory is out of the question based on my talk with dr. If Scott is right and there are so many intolerance in food for celiac what is left to eat?? And now histamine? I mean what should i eat? Maybe gastritis is doing all this trouble? Thanks Kind regard

      @Richardo, I'm in the same boat as you! I can't handle certified gluten free oats at all. Quinoa is the worst, even when I soak it in water and then wash under the tap for 10 minutes ... I have a reaction. It must be an immune system reaction to the proteins in these gluten-free grains.

      We are all different and our immune systems are unique. I will say, however, that I have not gotten the impression as a moderator and reading hundreds and hundreds of posts on this forum over the years that a dermatitis herpetiformis outbreak caused by grains other than wheat, barley and rye is common. But perhaps it is more common than we have realized and it could be why it it is seems to be common that those who suffer from dermatitis herpetiformis struggle to keep it under control. Perhaps there are qualities found in all cereal grains besides gluten that are contributing factors. Also, have you tried a low iodine diet to see if it helps with your dermatitis herpetiformis? Reportedly, reducing iodine helps some folks afflicted with dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Ok thanks Trents. I had the lesions biopsied and confirmed dermatitis herpetiformis, so I guess dermatitis herpetiformis can be associated with other grains not typically gluten. I appreciate your comment and I'll give Dr Osborne the benefit of the doubt because without him I would never have known of my grain intolerance and would still be suffering today. I simply never read anyone explain how grains could worsen dermatitis herpetiformis and I feel that information should be made much more readily available. Hey if someone tries going grain free and there's no improvement, no loss, however it drastically changed my life for the better and could at least be offered as a suggestion to sufferers from dermatitis herpetiformis. The other option is Dapsome and I wouldn't want anyone taking that chemical if there was a more natural solution. thanks again
