I will be visiting the Manhattan Beach, LA area mid August. Can anyone suggest any place that may be a safe place to eat? Thank You! Susie

well, no specific places. There are of course chains like PF Changs around. I live in LA, and while I don't eat out currently (diet more restricted than gluten-free), eating gluten-free is definitely possible at many places. LA is king of funky diets, Atkins, Zone, you name it, so people ordering a sandwich with no bread is commonplace (just be superclear that no bread can touch it, yadda yadda...).

You'll fit right in :)

Ha! :lol: How cool is that? I was just at the GIG conference in Chicago and I ate a few meals with a celiac and her parents from Manhattan Beach...I'll e-mail this thread to them.

Of course, there are always the chains to fall back on: Outback, TGIF, PF Changs, Arbys, etc., etc.

I'm not sure about Manhattan Beach, but here the message (I just copy/pasted it) someone on this board had for Huntington beach (which is pretty close to Manahattan Beach - California).

"While in downtown Huntington Beach, right on the corner of PCH and Main Street try Spark Wood Fire Grill. It's on the second floor overlooking the HB Pier and the beach. Ask your server to have Chris the head chef to come out. HIs wife is celiac and he is very aware of our unique eating needs. He cooked a dish especially for me and it was delicious!

He is in the process of writing a cookbook (he's a master chef) and getting a website. He has pancakes and a brownie recipes to die for! I found him quite by accident after I ordered the special of the day and was surprised when it arrived with wheat noodles artfully placed on top of my main dish. Pretty but deadly. Check him out soon at www.wecanteatbutwelovewheat.com. His company is named Believe In It Products. specializing in high quality gluten free products. "

update he no longer works at that restaurant

Oh, and what's gluten free at Arbys?

Arby's nutritional information is here: Open Original Shared Link Pretty unhelpful, actually...doesn't show next to each product whether it contains gluten, but this is what I found from the SillyYaks Restaurant Guidebook (which I'm still sending to anyone who wants it). It had two columns: one to avoid, one to have...this was on the "have" side:

Pepper Bacon

Pre-cooked Bacon (breakfast)

Bacon Bits

Bacon (raw)

Roast Ham

Roast Beef

Pepperoni (sub set up)

Salami (sub set up)

[pink] fry sauce

Shake Syrups (all flavors)

All Vegetable Liquid Corn Oil Frying

OIL

Bun Toasting Pan & Grill

Bun Toasting Oil

Peppers & Onions

Cream Cheese Roll Icing

TJ Cinnamon Sticky Bun Smear

Arby's Icing

Natural Pecan Pieces

Shake Mix

Turkey Breast

Sausage Patties

Mocha Chill

Potato Cakes

Green Leaf Lettuce

Easy Eggs Deluxe Scrambled Egg Mix

Green Leaf Lettuce

Arby's Sauce

Arby Q (BBQ) sauce

Santa Fe Sauce

Three Pepper Sauce

BBQ Dipping Sauce

Bullseye BBQ Sauce

Tartar Sauce

Tangy SW sauce

Sweet & Sour Sauce

Dijon Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce

      Well, that's a big question. When he was seeing the nutrition response testing dr. that changed each time we went in. He hasn't been seeing him regularly for theist ten months. When he had a horribly week in March I started him back on the 4 that were suggested to keep him on. Those are: Standard Process Chlorophyll Complex gluten-free, SP A-F Betafood gluten-free, SP Tuna Omega-3 Oil gluten-free, And Advanced Amino Formula. He also takes a one a day from a company called Forvia (multivitamin and mineral) and Probiotic . Recently he had to start Vitamin D as well as he was deficient.

      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
