Hi welcome to the forum.

A lot depends on what island<S> your on or visiting as well as what you mean by mainstream.

On Oahu Chef Mavro's and LeMer are great but also the most expensive. They do understand gluten-free meals and will prepare anything

as long as they have advance warning. there are also Outback's on 2 or 3 islands. Nicks Fish Market on Oahu also will prepare gluten-free meals. 12Th Ave Grill is a great place as is Town.

I like Alan Wong's, Roy's and DK Kodama's various places but they need to know way in advance.

Whole Foods is coming to Oahu in a few months but there are other health food stores on Oahu which have gluten-free selections.

India Cafe and India house are also good about being careful of cross contamination.

If you like sushi there are many places but bring a bottle of San-j Wheat Free soy sauce with you. Most of the grocery stores have it on Oahu and Here in Kona. I've found that for most of the sit down moderately prices places, if you give them advance warning and try to get though to the chef rather than just the person answering the phone, they will understand and be very helpful.

On the Big Island where I live almost all the resort hotels are very aware and keep a plethora of gluten-free items on hand. Again, just give them a call in the am that your coming. Even here in Captain Cook, the local Chinese place, Hong Kong Chop Suey, keeps wheat free soy sauce and can prepare a variety of great dishes.

If you let me know more about your stay or which island maybe I can think of more. Also dont forget to use the search function for Maui and Kauai and you'll find a number of messages.

Good luck & Aloha

Ken

      I haven’t been diagnosed formally. My doctor always called it eczema but over the years I have figured out it isn’t.  I’ll do some research on iodine. Thanks for that info.

      I would not think abstaining from commercially processed food would have any effect on dermatitis herpetiformis. What can help with dermatitis herpetiformis is reducing iodine in your diet and, of course, you must completely abstain from gluten.  Many who suffer from dermatitis herpetiformis cannot find relief until they get on a med called Dapsone. It seems to be pretty effective but stresses the liver. So, anyone taking it must have their liver enzymes monitored regularly. By the way, celiac disease is the only know cause for dermatitis herpetiformis. Has your rash been officially diagnosed as dermatitis herpetiformis? It can be a challenge to find a dermatologist who knows how to properly biopsy dermatitis herpetiformis when seeking a diagnosis.

      I was eating gluten at the time it was done. I do not eat commercially processed food and we make it all from scratch so I wonder if that might cause an issue.

      When you had the blood draw done for the antibody testing, had you already been practicing a gluten free diet? If so, that would also sabotage the results of the tTG-IGA.

      The rash on my hands is the little blisters or  dermatitisherpetiformi you are referencing. They itch like crazy and no doctor has ever been able to get them to go away. When I remove gluten from my diet they go away. I decided to do the test for that reason. It’s really my only symptom but my sister has celiac disease and the same hand rash. her doctor recommended I get tested.
