Hey that sounds fun! I have not been to HI. Are you planning on eatting at the resort at all?? If you are, I'd send this to them (and take a few copies with you). This is a dining card. You would present this to the server (or send ahead to the chef).

I have a severe allergy to gluten. I cannot eat ANYTHING made from wheat, oats, rye, spelt, or barley. (Semolina is also wheat.)

Gluten items include:
bread/dough/crusts, pastas, croutons and bread crumbs
sauces or soups thickened with flour
beer, processed cheeses, malt or malt flavoring, HVP from gluten grains

I cannot eat foods that have been deep fried in oil that's also been used for breaded or floured foods.
Boiling water used for cooking pasta is not safe.
Some bouillon contains HVP that's not safe for me.
Natural and artificial flavors can be a problem.

I CAN eat plain rice, brown rice, rice noodles, cornmeal/polenta, corn tortillas, corn starch, arrowroot starch, potatoes, quinoa, poultry, sea food, fruits, vegetables, salads without croutons, eggs, milk, butter, olive oil, garlic, balsamic vinegar, fresh herbs, most cheeses, and wine.

Please be sure that anything made for me is cooked in a separate clean pot or pan, or grilled/broiled on clean aluminum foil, and that separate, clean utensils are used -- I can get quite sick from only traces of gluten, including crumbs.

I welcome your suggestions for a delicious meal that I can safely enjoy. Please feel free to ask me any questions about this diet if you need to.
Thank you for your special attention to my needs.

Here is a link to some names for Celiac Support Groups in HI. They might be able to point you in the right direction: http://www.enabling.org/ia/celiac/groups/grpus-hi.html

Aloha Glen!
There are health food stores in Kona & Waimea (both near the Four Seasons) that carry gluten free products, including soy sauce (a necessity given all the sushi around!). Four Seasons will also hold packages for your arrival, should you wish to ship some beloved specialty items.
I've dined at Four Seasons with gluten intolerant friends, and the chefs - there are four dining venues plus room service - are quite responsive to gluten free requests. Do bring copies of your Celiac Card; it cuts way down the discussion time with the servers
