Vacation

I'm on vacation now in Hawaii and I'm very annoyed. I should be relaxing instead of stressing. I'm sick of eating the same boring food every morning. I just wanted some eggs today instead of the typical yogurt. All they had were packaged sandwiches. The gluten free food at the resort means plain no flavoring steak/fish. I'm just wondering how everyone has dealt with this. I have not had gluten yet but the food is very bland.

There is a member on here, kenlove, that I believe lives in Hawaii.

Do you have a place to cook or warm foods? When we are there we always check out the local farmers mart as well for lots of organic fruit & veggies. Ask any local where one might be located.

I hope you're not offended by this,but I recommend enjoying the exotic cocktails in Hawaii. Eat a boring dinner with a fun cocktail. :)

Sorry I'm kind of a "if you have lemons make a lemon drop" kind of girl.

I would also try to get out and get to a market. They have amazing fruits there. You're going to have to change your focus from food to something else. I know that's hard, but that's how I try to get by. "A nice dinner" really has no meaning to me anymore, in fact I dread them. It usually means I'll be eating salad while you're eating something delicious. :)

Enjoy the beach, water activities and exploring the islands. Remember.......food is fuel. :)

I ate fresh pineapple till it came out my ears. :P And see if you can find some Star Fruit in the store. Ono fish is a special over there and when grilled is wonderful.

      For people with celiac disease and corn intolerance from it: Is salt still okay for most people?

      By Ryangf · Posted

      I haven’t had any noticeable reactions to salt so I will continue using it. I think I just freaked out when I realized this but it doesn’t cause me any discomfort- so thanks!

      Abscesses on legs

      By plumbago · Posted

      Ok, thanks. I'm so glad to hear you are in the hands of a dermatologist. I hope he/she has given you 1) a diagnosis; and 2) a plan of care with a couple of options so that you have buy-in and comfort with it. I have some ideas, but not having seen the abscesses or you in person, it doesn't really make sense for me to kind of ... speculate further. But your question was regarding gluten, and you've gotten a couple of other follow up questions and answers that are good, including the idea to keep a food diary. Let us know if we can help further or answer any other questions. I'm sorry you're going through this, it sounds very painful.

      Abscesses on legs

      By LookingForAnswers101 · Posted

      @plumbago They appear as boils. They are big, like the size of a nickel--quarter, and they hurt when I touch them. I have gone to the same derm for them over and over and she thinks my body is colonized by a bacteria, but even after using hibiclens all over my body they come back.

      Abscesses on legs

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the gluten-free community! It’s great to have you here. While gluten sensitivity or celiac disease can indeed cause skin issues, such as dermatitis herpetiformis (a blistering rash), abscesses in areas like the lower buttocks or thighs are less commonly linked directly to gluten. However, chronic abscesses could be a sign of an underlying immune or inflammatory condition, which might be worth discussing with a healthcare professional. Some people with gluten-related disorders also experience secondary issues like bacterial overgrowth or immune dysregulation, which could potentially contribute to recurrent infections. It’s always a good idea to explore all possible causes, including gluten sensitivity, with your doctor. In the meantime, keeping a food and symptom diary might help identify any patterns. Wishing you the best on your health journey!

      You say you have gluten sensitivity? Have you been officially diagnosed with celiac disease or do you refer to NCGS?
