A few weeks ago we took a one week vacation to Maui (specifically the Kaanapali Beach / Lahaina area). We had an amazing time even with the tsunami warning and not really relaxing since we had our toddler with us. Anyway we are here to talk about gluten-free food:

There were may options while dining out. Most of the restaurants are small and cook from scratch. At no point did we get that blank stare, everyone knew what gluten-free was. Some highlights included:

Penne Pasta Cafe: Small counter service place with brown rice pasta.

Maui Tacos: Take out taco stand

Hula Grill: Very nice place right on the beach

Bubba Gump: I know, it's a chain but we were exhausted from the all nighter tsunami evacuation and I just wanted some simple grilled shrimp and rice. (they have an official gluten-free menu)

Foodland super market: very extensive gluten-free section.

Almost anywhere: The Fresh Fruit, Fish, etc!

There were others but rest assured if you want a vacation in an amazing setting, eating gluten-free in Maui is no problem at all.

Oh and here I am being interview on the today show about the evacuation: Open Original Shared Link

We stayed at the westin villas time share place. Family owns. I personally don't see the value in ownership everything there is just so expensive.

My family went back this year (without us) and said they noticed even more gluten-free options. One place is called star noodle. Bring me back some pineapple! You'll have an amazing time and don't sweat the gluten-free in Maui. A very easy location to get buy.

:) Thank you! We can hardly wait! We'll be staying with friends half the time and I think we'll try the Westin the other half! :) Pineapple's on its way!

FYI, there's also a Costco next to the airport. Very easy to stop on the way to your destination on Maui.

      Bloodwork still postive after 18 months

      By RMJ · Posted

      How frustrating! The Endomysium antibody result is usually given as a titer, 1:5, or 1:10, or 1:20.  This indicates how far the serum can be diluted and still give a positive result. It could be going down but the way they show the results you can’t tell. If you click on the “view trends” button on an electronic version of the results does it show any additional information?

      Catholic Mass for Celiacs

      By misslemon · Posted

      Hi, I'm hoping to get some advice on how to handle Mass as a new Catholic.  I'm looking to take the Mass for the first time in March.  I've been told that the church has a "low gluten" option that is 0.01% gluten.  Is this safe, especially to do every week?   I also read that taking the wine instead could be more of a problem if it gets contaminated with regular crumbs.   I found this information online:  "The Benedictine Sisters of Perpetual Adoration in Clyde, Missouri, have developed a Communion host that is extremely low in gluten. The host is made from gelatinized wheat starch. The Sisters report the hosts test to a level of 0.01% gluten. At that level, the lowest that could be tested, no gluten was detected. This means that there is less than 0.01% gluten in one of these hosts. The Secretariat for the Liturgy of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops has stated that these hosts meet the requirements of the Code of Canon Law (924 §2) and may be validly used at the celebration of the Eucharist with permission of the person's pastor. The Catholic with celiac disease can now fully participate in Holy Communion with the whole parish family. Catholic celiacs may choose to receive consecrated wine at a regular communion station if their parish offers communion under both species. There is greater risk for contamination using this option. The fraction rite may allow small, yet dangerous crumbs to be in the cup." Thank you for any guidance!

      Bloodwork still postive after 18 months

      By Jenn D · Posted

      My son was diagnosed with Celiac Disease is April 2023. His ttg antibody was over 100 at the time of diagnosis. Now it is at 3 (which is considered negative), but his endomysium antibody iga is still coming up positive. There is no specific number just positive or negative so I'm not sure if he's getting better or not. I'm getting nervous that something else is going on and I was just looking for some advice or an understanding what this "postive" actually means. He gets tested every 6 months. Thank you so much for any responses😊 Attached is a picture of his bloodwork from August 2024

      Popcorn pain

      By trents · Posted

      @JenFur, if this is microwave popcorn you are using, check for added ingredients that could be causing a reaction such as flavorings which might be hidden sources of gluten.

      Query

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @mark w! Did you hit the "Submit Reply" button before you finished typing your post? The thought seems incomplete and there is no punctuation to terminate it at the end of the sentence. Are you stating that you believe the odd episode of being "glutened" is responsible for your ongoing fatigue or are you asking the question of could it be due to that?
