My fiance and i are trying to narrow down our honeymoon picks and I think we are settling on Grand Cayman. Has anyone been there since being gluten free? I know there are a few sushi places at the hotels i've been looking...i would love to take my gluten-free soy sauce with me, but i dont know if i can....wondering if gluten-free products are available down there.

We have a timeshare there and go as often as once a year. I love the place! We stay in a condo on the East End and cook most of our meals. I have eaten at the LIghthouse and Bacchus with no trouble. Just bring your dining card. I also ate at the Westin and had one of the best meals I've ever eaten. ( I would stay there if it were my honeymoon!)_Have fun!

Congrats on the wedding! I live in Cayman (originally from canada) and LOVE IT!! I've never had an issue with the soy sauces at the sushi restaurants, but I don't find they carry enough gluten to trigger a reaction anyway. Definitely bring your own if you can get it into the suitcase. I recommend Yoshi Sushi, it's outstanding, but call ahead and make reservations.

Other restaurants are amazing, the eating on this island is outstanding. The chefs are from all over the world and will always adjust a dish to suit you. I recommend Hemmingways for supper one night - Gorgeous view guaranteed to romance you and your new hubby!

The grocery stores here carry more gluten-free selections than I could find in Canada! I'm amazed every time I go shopping at the new stuff they've brought in and the diversity of selection. They pull from Irish suppliers and I've yet to be anything but enamored with what I've gotten.

Bear in mind when you come down that it's a tax-free island so the cost you see on the shelf is exactly what you'll pay, but that the Cayman dollar is 1.25 to the US.

If you're interested, let me know when you're down and I'll show you around! You won't regret coming, the island is truly breathtaking.

Did you go to the Grand Cayman yet? My fiance and I are getting married on October 17, and she has Celiac. Our honeymoon is going to be on the Grand Cayman island as well, and I'm checking around to see what our options are going to be. Congrats on the marriage!

      Ichthus is the Greek word (using English letters) for fish. The letters in the actual Greek word form an acronym that come from the first letters in the Greek words for "Jesus", "God's Son," "Savior". Now, back to your family's denial of your celiac disease, I think you can relate to this:

      Anyone Else Experiencing These Symptoms?

      Thanks for the kind words. It's hard to convince my doctor to investigate further because of a negative blood test and he only tested me for one marker. 🙃 I've come to the point where I need to take this into my own hands because the doctors are infuriating and it's not going anywhere. I've been gluten free for a week and feeling better but I was still co...

I've been gluten free for a week and feeling better but I was still consuming dairy and I think that's what's backing me up. Next week no dairy introduced.
