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I searched this forum for suggestions on where to stay and eat but lot of the information is outdated.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.

      is Kirkland Imported French Brie gluten free?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is great info, so thanks for sharing it. I had no idea Costco provides this service, yet I've been a member for over two decades. In the United States, all food manufacturers, including any that ship foods for sale in the USA, are required to comply with the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act (FALCPA) of 2004, which mandates clear labeling of major food allergens, including wheat, to protect consumers with allergies. Under this law, manufacturers must explicitly list wheat as an ingredient if it is present in the product, either in the ingredient statement or through a separate "Contains" statement (e.g., "Contains wheat"). This regulation helps individuals with celiac disease or wheat allergies avoid potentially harmful ingredients. FALCPA covers all packaged foods sold in the U.S., ensuring transparency and safety in food labeling while holding manufacturers accountable for accurate allergen disclosure. Failure to comply can result in regulatory action by the FDA, including product recalls or penalties. While the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act (FALCPA) requires clear labeling of major food allergens like wheat, it does not include barley in its list of mandated allergens, despite barley containing gluten, which can be harmful to individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. Since barley is not classified as a top allergen under FALCPA, manufacturers are not required to highlight it in allergen statements or use a "Contains" label, even though it poses risks similar to wheat for some consumers. Instead, barley may be listed under its common name (e.g., "barley malt" or "malt extract") in the ingredient list without additional emphasis. This regulatory gap means that individuals avoiding gluten must carefully scrutinize ingredient lists, as barley-derived ingredients can be less obvious than wheat. Advocacy groups continue to push for stricter gluten-related labeling, but currently, only wheat—not barley or rye—is subject to FALCPA’s allergen disclosure requirements. In general, this means that everyone with celiac disease should learn to read ingredient labels to be safe.  The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping.

      Second child with Celia

      By lizzie42 · Posted

      After my 3 year old daughter's diagnosis, we all got tested. My 5 year old son also came back positive with number 12x the upper limit.  We will confirm with another tTG and the other 2 tests in the panel.  He has zero symptoms that I have noticed. Maybe occasionally vomiting. He does have asthma. He's kind of an a**hole sometimes but also he's 5. He has SO much energy. Like miles and miles of biking, running, gymnastics. Never stops. Eats great, normal growth. It was comparing my daughter to him that made me push to figure out what was wrong with her!  Is it possible for a tTG test to just be totally wrong?
