We are going to Cabo San Lucas the beginning of Nov. for a week. We are staying at Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach. Has anyone stayed there? Will I be able to buy Gluten-free foods in stores and restaurants? When I e-mailed the hotel they said they did not know of "that kind of food" and I should bring my food from the states. Flying from SC--that would almost be impossible. Has anyone had this problem? Help Judy from SC

maybe not the most customer service orientated place in mexico.....

If your hotel is not an all inclusive resort, you should be fine venturing outside the compound for great Mexican food. We have been to Mexico numerous times and my wife (the celiac) never got sick.

Many mexican dishes are made of corn, so you will be safe if you know how to ask for it.

Judy,

We go to Cabo all the time. We are going in November. This store has many gluten free items and it is not too far from where you are staying. It is a bit expensive for some things but worth it if you want it. Also we go out to dinner all the time and most of the foods are made with corn and they use fresh vegetables and fruits so we have never had any trouble. Just say you have an allergio a harina de trigo. Hope you get this before you leave. Lynn

      Gluten free vitamins

      By trents · Posted

      Yes, I have concerns about the calcium supplementation as well. Sounds like a good idea on the surface if you are trying to address bone density issues but when overdone it can have the opposite effect. Calcium supplementation increases gut PH (i.e., lowers gut acidity) which can interfere with vitamin and mineral (including calcium itself) absorption. Often, bone demineralization is not due to lack of calcium intake but to low gut acidity. This is why you will often see calcium supplement products paired with vitamin C (ascorbic acid). Drinking OJ or tomato juice along with the calcium supplement can help with this as they are acidic juices. Calcium supplementation can also contribute to plaque arterial buildup I believe. I think it might be best to focus on rich natural sources of calcium.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      In that case if you answer "no" does that mean the chef doesn't have to be as diligent?  If you ask for "pork free" do they ask if it is an allergy too? How's this for an answer: "I get violently sick if I eat wheat, barley or rye"?

      Gluten free vitamins

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      I order my vitamins from Pipingrock.com. They also make Cream of Rice.  Clearly marked gluten free. Right next to the Cream of Wheat. Stoneyfield Whole Milk Yogurt will help repoputate your gut bacteria.  It has lactase so is ok for lactose intolerance. 6 ounces has 210 mg calcium. For magnesium I get the 10 ounce bottle of liquid Magnesium Citrate at the supermarket or drugstore ($3).  One or two ounces of it  in a glass of water.  Add ice and sugar if you like.  I like the Cherry or Grape best. Instead try: Cream of Rice, Cheese and Good Thins (rice crackers), scrambled eggs and gluten free toast. Do you need Calcium supplement?  Calcium from supplements can cause hypercalcemia, a condition that can lead to serious health complications.  Vitamin D increases calcium absorption.  Monitor 25)(OH)D vitamin D plasma and  parathyroid hormone (PTH).

      The forms that vitamin and mineral supplements come in can be important. Bioavailability (i.e., how well they are absorbed) is often sacrificed for the sake of cost and shelf life. The vitamin or mineral you are targeting is always chemically combined with other elements to make them into a dispensable form (such as a powder, liquid or a pill) and to give them some chemical stability for shelf life.
