I live in the Portland area. I have be gluten free for just about six months and feel a lot better. I do, however, feel somewhat limited about places to eat so if you have any input I would greatly appreciate it. Also, are there any support groups in the area?

I frequently go to Portland. There is a fish house called the Corbett fish house address is 5901 SW Corbett Ave Portland, OR 97239 phone (503) 246-4434

The breading on the fish, chicken strips and cheese curds are all gluten free as well as alot of the menu items. They clearly list on the menu what is and what isnt.

It's nice to not have to worry! :)

I would have responded to your post a long time ago but I never come into this section of your post.

I am originally from Tualatin but I am now attending the University of Oregon in Eugene. I have a few places to eat that are gluten-free that I would love to share.

HI,

There are a couple good places for gluten-free food.

Corbett's fish house is GREAT! I am from Wisconsin, so I am a little biased.

Also, Assagio on SE 13th and SE Lambert

Andina (in the Pearl)

and there is a pizza place in Lake Oswego that makes a gluten free pizza,

but I can't remember the name--something like Telmercado, I forget.

Also, Piece of Cake bakery in Sellwood has gluten free cakes.

That's all I can think of right now.

As for a support group, I saw some info. at Corbett's, you should go check it out there...Corbett's has

a bunch of resources at the front of the restaurant. Good luck!

P.S Also, New Seasons is a great place to shop and ever once in a while they have gluten-free store tours

to show you all their glutenfree stuff. I have neer been to one, but I should go :-) Glad to know that there

are some you in my local area :-) Maybe I'll go to a support group sometime, I bet that they are very helpful!

The pizza place in Lake Oswego is really good. It's called Talarico's Mercado. They have gluten-free pizza but it is a bit expensive ($17 for a medium-sized pizza)

Also Rose's Deli in Sherwood and other locations has a gluten-free cake called a "Flourless chocolate Torte" that is really good.

P.F. Changs just opened a chain in Bridgeport Village. There is also one in Portland I think. They have an entire gluten-free menu. Its the only Chinese food I dare to eat.

Outback of course has a gluten-free menu. Not a big fan of the food but they are helpful.

I found the lady who makes their dough...I bought some and made my own pizza and it was super good and way cheaper than going out. Here's a link to her website...

Hi, I am in Eugene also.

The Outback at Gateway is ok.

There is a Vietnamese place called Pho Yi-Shen at the corner of 11th and Chambers next to Ring of Fire. They have a dish Lemongrass Chicken that is gluten free, and some cold salad rolls. I love the LG Chicken (it can be done with tofu also) so eat there fairly often. There is as always a chance of cross contamination. Out of maybe 30 times I have been there there was only one that I think I may have had a problem.

I don't know for sure otherwise about restaurants.

I have heard that Sweet Life Patisserie makes some gluten free baked goods but haven't tried them. I am a little unsure about that since they make regular stuff too, and I would think with flour in the air the chance of crosscontamination would be higher. I ma not highly sensitive but have been having more problems lately. I have begun to wonder if I have an additional intollerance for either soy or almonds. Playing the elimination game just now.

You should definately get in touch with the Portland Gluten-Intolerance Group!

www.portlandmetroceliacs.org, and email Jennifer at gig_membership@hotmail.com

They are several support groups through out the Portland area, and they will be able to answer all your questions, as well as direct you to the Gluten-Free friendly restaurants around town.

If you are down in Eugene on the 2nd Thursday of each month, you will have to swing by our own Eugene-GIG support group! We'd love to see you there!

I am sure you are busy with school, but it would be great to see you at our next group get-together! :)

I think I answered a post you had in another section of the forum, about when and where our Eugene-GIG meets...

Feb. 8th, 6-8pm, 1800 Lakewood Ct.-Clubhouse

hope to see you there!

TO: DoggoneIt and TimSpfd,

The Eugene Gluten-Intolerant Group has a 'Newbie' packet that includes restaurants recommended by members of the support group. Let me know if youwould like me to mail you a packet.

Also, we just completed our first Gluten-Free revamping of a Menu at McGrath's Fish House. You can now go in and request a Gluten Free menu and know that each ingredient listed, and method of preparation, has been triple checked to insure that gluten is not present and that cross-contamination does not occur!

We hope McGrath's jubilant willingness to work with us is representative of encounters we will have with many more restaurants to come! :)

Hope to see you at the next Eugene-GIG meeting!

I'm in Albany Oregon, and would like to eat and shop in Portland now and then, but don't know my way around and am nervous in the traffic....not a nervous type person normally, but come from La Grande Oregon most my life and just learned to be a slow country hick driver.

I am almost 50 years and would like to contact the celiac disease group in portland and find other women I could meet to go out to eat and shop gluten free places occassionally. The address for the celiac disease group listed in one of the replies says it is an invalid address on my email program. (Not interested in any kind of dating type thing)

I was really excited to see so many places to eat gluten-free in Portland! I emailed it to my one friend who is gluten-free, but she runs a farm and may not have time or money to go but once a year or so. I own my own biz and don't have much time or money either, but can make some available for such wonderfulness as gluten-free food SERVED to me hot and ready, WOW!

I've been celiac disease for nearly 20yrs, found out when my mother nearly died from starvation and dehydration and the (woman) doctor who finally diagnosed her (after years of trouble with other doctors) told her it was hereditary and that she should have her family checked out....now I know I have it, my sister insists on listening to her doc who diagnoses her with everything else, and she remains in denial.......and one of my two daughters also knows she and both her daughters have it, my grand girls 2 and 5yrs.....but my other daughter also lives in denial with her many symptoms. I can't harp at them, so I say something now and then, but mostly silently watch as my sister and daughter gradually loose their health.

Would like to make some gluten free friends.

If your going to Portland, you may as well go a little further over to Vancouver. There is an almost completely gluten free store there. They have products that I was never able to find before.

I have been a diagnosed celiac for 19 years, so I can relate. The choice and quality of gluten free foods has changed drasticly since back then. I was so excited the first time I went there. I spent $200! Just be sure to bring a cooler and some ice packs, LOL

It is called lingon berries market. They are located just off I-205.

Granny,

try this: www.gluten.net

On the left side of the screen select 'Branch & Partners', and then 'Branch & Partner Groups'.

Scroll down and select 'Oregon', and you will be taken to the 4 GIG-affiliated groups in Oregon: Eugene, McMinnville, Salem & Portland. Each site has a little different look, and they are all fun to look at.

Our Eugene-GIG group is going on six months, and we are just so excited about the progress we are making, and the fun we are having! If you ever have any questions about our group, please don't hesitate to ask me here, or send me an email; brynn@choiceshealthfood.com. Maybe some Thursday you will be able to make it down to see us. :)

Hi Victoria,

I live in Portland and was diagnosed in Aug 07. I don't follow a strict vegetarian diet although I limit meat in my diet. I'm always looking for celiacs to share recipes, tips, local restaurants that are safe to eat at etc. I just turned 50, married, 3 kids and stay at home mom.

Coffee plant right next door to Corbett St. Fish House is all gluten free. They have coffee cakes, scones, cookies, sandwich wraps, yogurt and a few other items. The coffee is superb!

Mississippi Pizza Co. on N. Albina St has really good gluten free pizza and a couple of gluten free beers

P.F. Changs has a gluten free menu as well as Outback Steakhouse

      Waiting for urgent referral.

      By Fluka66 · Posted

      Thank you again for your reply and comments which I have read carefully as I appreciate any input at this stage. I'm tending to listen to what my body wants me to do, having been in agony for many years any respite has been welcome and avoiding all wheat and lactose has thankfully brought this.  When in pain before I was seen by a number of gynacologists as I had 22 fibroids and had an operation 13 years ago to shrink them . However the pain remained and intensified to the point over the years where I began passing out. I was in and out of a&e during covid when waiting rooms where empty. My present diet is the only thing that's given me any hope for the future. As I say I had never heard of celiac disease before starting so I guess had this not come up in a conversation I would just have carried on. It was the swollen lymph node that sent me to a boots pharmacist who immediately sent me to a&e where a Dr asked questions prescribed antibiotics and then back to my GP. I'm now waiting for my hospital appointment . Hope this answers your question. I found out more about the disease because I googled something I wouldn't normally do, it did shed light on the disease but I also read some things that this disease can do. On good days I actually hope I haven't got this but on further investigation my mother's side of the family all Celtic have had various problems 're stomach pain my poor grandmother cried in pain as did her sister whilst two of her brother's survived WW2 but died from ulcers put down to stress of fighting.  Wishing you well with your recovery.  Many thanks

      Welcome to the forum, @Nacina, What supplements is your son taking?

      @BluegrassCeliac, I'm agreeing.  It's a good thing taking magnesium. And B vitamins. Magnesium and Thiamine work together.  If you supplement the B vitamins which include Thiamine, but don't have sufficient magnesium, Thiamine won't work well.  If you take Magnesium, but not Thiamine, magnesium won't work as well by itself. Hydrochlorothiazide HCTZ is a sulfonamide drug, a sulfa drug.  So are proton pump inhibitors PPIs, and SSRIs. High dose Thiamine is used to resolve cytokine storms.  High dose Thiamine was used in patients having cytokine storms in Covid infections.  Magnesium supplementation also improves cytokine storms, and was also used during Covid. How's your Vitamin D?

      Hi,   Not saying Thiamine (B1) couldn't be an issue as well, but Mg was definitely the cause of my problems. It's the only thing that worked. I supplemented with B vitamins, but that didn't change anything, in fact they made me sick. Mg stopped all my muscle pain (HCTZ) within a few months and fixed all the intestinal problems HCTZ caused as well. Mom has an allergy to some sulfa drugs (IgG Celiac too), but I don't think I've ever taken them. Mg boosted my energy as well. It solved a lot of problems. I take 1000mg MgO a day with no problems. I boost absorption with Vitamin D. Some people can't take MgO,  like mom, she takes Mg Glycinate. It's one of those things that someone has try and find the right form for themselves. Everyone's different. Mg deficiency can cause anxiety and is a treatment for it. A pharmacist gave me a list of drugs years ago that cause Mg deficiency: PPIs, H2 bockers, HCTZ, some beta blockers (metoprolol which I've taken -- horrible side effects), some anti-anxiety meds too were on it. I posted because I saw he was an IgG celiac. He's the first one I've seen in 20 years, other than my family. We're rare. All the celiacs I've met are IgA. Finding healthcare is a nightmare. Just trying to help. B

      It sounds like you've been through a lot with your son's health journey, and it's understandable that you're seeking answers and solutions. Given the complexity of his symptoms and medical history, it might be beneficial to explore a few avenues: Encourage your son to keep a detailed journal of his symptoms, including when they occur, their severity, any triggers or patterns, and how they impact his daily life. This information can be valuable during medical consultations and may help identify correlations or trends. Consider seeking opinions from specialized medical centers or academic hospitals that have multidisciplinary teams specializing in gastrointestinal disorders, especially those related to Celiac disease and Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EOE). These centers often have experts who deal with complex cases and can offer a comprehensive evaluation. Since you've already explored alternative medicine with a nutrition response doctor and a gut detox diet, you may want to consider consulting a functional medicine practitioner. They take a holistic approach to health, looking at underlying causes and imbalances that may contribute to symptoms. Given his low vitamin D levels and other nutritional markers, a thorough nutritional assessment by a registered dietitian or nutritionist specializing in gastrointestinal health could provide insights into any deficiencies or dietary adjustments that might help alleviate symptoms. In addition to routine tests, consider asking about more specialized tests that may not be part of standard screenings. These could include comprehensive stool analyses, food intolerance testing, allergy panels, or advanced imaging studies to assess gut health.
