New Restaurant In Tacoma, Wa

So firstly, a disclaimer: my step-dad is the general manager of the restaurant. However, it's because of that there's gluten free food there. So it's not so bad, I think.

Anyway.

Woody's on the Water recently opened in Tacoma, and they're in the process of becoming celiac friendly. Like I said, my step-dad, Thomas, is the general manager, and he's spent enough time eating with and cooking for me that he should be able to help if you go there and have any questions about anything. They have a gluten free menu, full of tasty food like oyster stew and prime rib. The chef and Thomas are both pretty well educated about food issues, and should be able to easily accommodate any other allergies. They're in the process of ordering gluten free beer to stock, they should have that by February. They're going to stock Green's Discovery, which is an amber beer that's really tasty, much more flavorful than the other gluten-free beers i've tried. Finally, they are also going to have gluten free bread starting soon. Besides all that, it's on the waterfront in Tacoma, right next to the glass museum and the marinas. And it's just a generally cool restaurant.

The website is woodystacoma dot com.

Thanks for the tip. We live just north of Tacoma, so we will check it out.

That is really good news. I doubt I will make the trip to eat there as we are north of Seattle but it is still a good thing. It is always good to hear of people making food gluten free friendly.

Sounds like a wonderful place to go. I also want to check out that beer you mentioned as the redbridge is ok, just ok.

The website doesn't say gluten-free, and I notice they serve sandwiches and stuff. So what's the best way to arrange a meal?

I am gluten-free as well as milk and soy free.

Thomas has gluten free menus, though if you go in the next day or two he may have to print them out first. He's going to train the servers on dealing with dietary restrictions, but at the moment I would just ask to talk to him, because he knows what's in absolutely every dish. I'm milk free as well, so he's used to that. I can email you the gluten free menus, if you'd like.

      Is "Shield" skincare products gluten-free?

      By trents · Posted

      @LynnM, when you say, "today, his numbers were high", what numbers do you refer to? Are you speaking of celiac antibody scores? Can you be more specific and can you post the test names, the numbers and the reference ranges for the tests? So, I am understanding you to say that topical exposure to gluten doesn't cause him GI reactions but ingestion of gluten does but at the same time you are attributing the "high numbers" to the topical exposure?

      Abnormal Labs, Should I Be Concerned?

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      So I recently had blood work and my hemoglobin, hematocrit, protein and alkaline phosphatase were all low. They have never been low in the past but since august of last year I have been on the in and off gluten rollercoaster as I mentioned in previous posts. Should I be concerned with these new findings? I am worried I have made myself really sick and done damage or something this past year

      Thank you Scott. My son doesn't have a reaction topically, only when ingested. Interestingly though, the doc told us the face cream getting gluten into his bloodstream doesn't do the damage akin to when gluten is ingested. He had no reaction when using the face cream, it only presented in blood-work. I'm hopeful from all the comments today and will wait for the GI doc to reply. If he is cleared to use it, I will encourage SHIELD to get a gluten-free certification

      It’s great that you’re taking the time to research products carefully for your son with celiac disease—especially since accidental gluten exposure through skincare can be a real concern for sensitive individuals. Based on the ingredient lists you’ve shared, none of the products appear to contain obvious sources of gluten like wheat, barley, or rye derivatives. Ingredients like glycerin and tocopherols (not listed here but often a concern) can sometimes be derived from wheat, but many manufacturers use plant-based or synthetic sources. SHIELD’s transparency and willingness to share their full ingredient list is a good sign, and their note about not intentionally adding gluten is reassuring. Still, because ingredient sourcing can vary and sensitivities differ from person to person, it’s wise that you’ve reached out to your GI specialist to be sure these products are safe for your son’s specific needs. In the meantime, if you do try any of the products, consider patch-testing them first and watching closely for any signs of skin irritation or reactions. PS - Most people with celiac disease won't react to skin products that may contain gluten, but I still recommend finding gluten-free products.

      Greetings Trents and Scott. This is the first time I'm posting here so I apologize in advance if I'm not replying properly. My 13 YO was diagnosed at age 5 and once gluten was removed from his diet, he grew 3" in a year, skin became much better and dark circles around his eyes disappeared. Today his numbers were very high and our new dietician discovered his face cream (Clinique dramatically different lotion) contained gluten. My fault for not checking.    His acne really has only just started and he's using OCT gluten-free products but the SHIELD is nothing short of miraculous for my 16 YO son and the 13 YO is eager to start. I will await his dietician's reply or google each ingredient.    I don't want to put him on that Rx as it's not that bad and isn't painful either. Just a boy starting 8th grade and doesn't want bad acne.    When I hear back I will circle back.
