Travelling To Orinda, California, Near San Fran And Walnut Creek Area

Hello everyone

My little son is gluten-free.

Can anyone recommend grocery stores who have a lot of gluten-free products, and or some restaurants? We are travelling to Orinda, California, which is apparently close to San Francisco, or Walnut Creek.

Thanks!

Barb :)

I'm not sure where you're coming from or how long you're going to be in this area, but if you can I would suggest making a day trip to Sacramento. You could check out Old Town Sac which has a lot of great shops, and then hit the Gluten Free Specialty, an all gluten-free market at 2612 J Street. They have about 1,500-2,000 gluten-free products, and some are also egg, dairy, and/or corn free.

As for restaurants, here's some links to gluten-free places in the bay area:

I would highly recommended Open Original Shared Link, if you've been craving gluten-free pizza.

Try Berkeley Bowl and Whole Foods. I think there is an actual location for Mariposa Bakery in Oakland.

      No! Do not start the gluten free diet until you know whether or not you will be having an endoscopy/biopsy to verify the blood antibody test results. Starting gluten free eating ahead of either form of diagnostic testing can invalidate the results. You don't want to allow the villous lining of the small bowel to experience healing ahead of testing by removing gluten.

      We offer a ton of recipes here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-recipes/ and have done some articles on fast food places, but keep in mind that eating out is a common source of gluten contamination: https://www.celiac.com/search/?q=fast food&quick=1&type=cms_records2 Many colleges now offer allergen-friendly, and sometimes gluten-free options in their student cafeterias: https://www.celiac.com/search/?&q=colleges&type=cms_records2&quick=1&search_and_or=and&sortby=relevancy PS - Look into GliadinX, which is a sponsor here, but many studies have been done on it which show that it may break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines.

      Thank you! What do you recommend in the next 7 weeks until I see my Doctor?  Just start my Gluten free diet?

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.
