Gluten-Free Restaurants in Seattle

Twenty years ago, I grabbed a window seat and was ecstatic to see “everything” on my way to Seattle. About an hour in, I just wanted off. Everything was shaking. I was wearing my Dr. Pepper. My window was flashing with lightning. I was wondering how this fell under the term “vacation.” Ten years ago, I wanted to see the new penguin exhibit at the Woodland Park Zoo. So, I traveled 3 hours by plane to see them. I was wearing a poncho and was the only person walking around. Either all the anim

New Issue No Explanation

As I mentioned I had some random vomiting.....well fact is it has been happening since my gluten exposure back November. It was almost every night around the same time 3-5 hours after eating dinner. After my exposure last month it became more consistent almost every night same time....but it is not really like vomiting.....just burping up 2-8 mouthfuls averaging about 6 starts off with a slime mucus, then floating stuff, then a couple of globs of compacted foods. The globs consist of things even

March Update

SO still getting over a gluten issue....I was unaware I kept on glutening myself with my tooth brush....threw it out and the D finally stopped but not have rebound constipation lol. Few days it should be fine, but lesson learned. I have some inconsistencies with vomiting...unsure if due to constipation or a new intolerance...I suspected flax seed at first, but then had some and not, not sesame seed my next one, and I have mixed results but doubt it is olive oil again (pretty sure over that one),

Protein Sticky Dough

This is a fun one just a small bowl of sticky gooey dough fun to eat with a small spoon, its stretchy and oh so gooey. Careful though it is packed full of fiber.

Ravings of a Gluten Free Baker

So diagnosed with celiac years ago, I opted to make the best of my cooking and culinary skills and start baking and doing chef jobs for others with these diet restrictions. This enabled me to better myself, help others, and PAY for this diet. I opened up a cottage home bakery, sold at farmers markets, and did local deliveries. This went on for several years, and I changed up my lines to grain free and vegan and all was well for several years.  Lately things have changed, whole foods started

Glutened Shared Facility Coconut

Worst of luck lol, I got some coconut chips, they said gluten free on the back but no certifications, I started snacking on them then felt that obvious tightening around my neck odd stomach, later puking, and I knew then. I took out the nima and tested the only new thing, and they came back positive for gluten. Thankfully I was given some glidenX stuff.... I think it works to some degree....I found I only had one bout of minor D after and felt alright by evening, none of the severe stumbling, dr

January Update

Still got a few issues lingering from that glutening issue...onions are still off the menu...as are spices. SO my mexican rotation of cuisine is put off and sticking to Italian herbs and keeping it easy. I have learned a few new things diet wise. The whole "what floats on top of my stomach will be puked up later" concept has been applied with a new testing and setting method for my foods. Works like this I put the food ingredient in a bowl of water...if it floats I need to make it sink before i

This is a fun blend, can be a bit thin, and consistency is dependent on a hand blender and how much you work with it.

New Cake Idea

So I got a new cake pan, huge cake pan that looks like a dragon around some eggs. I am thinking of using my grain free keto bread recipe, with the "Cake" alteration where I add 2tbsp sweetener an 2tbsp butter flavored coconut oil then add 2 tsp of Red Velvet Cake extract/coloring. I was thinking spray the pan with coconut oil and dust it with Hershey Dark Cocoa then pour a 2x batch of the cake mix in it and make a giant red velvet cake with cocoa dusting, In theory it should look like a smoulder

      Another conversation with ChatGPT about hookworms

      I suppose it's all in how you ask the question. I just asked ChatGPT how much it would cost to resolve my gut issues the way hookworms have, and ChatGPT's response was "$15,000–$30,000/year for the most plausible UC biologic/small-molecule route, or $10,000–$40,000+/year for omalizumab-style allergy modulation".

      That assumes such medication actually worked. Considering that all I have now is a reactivity to nuts, I'm highly doubtful that a drug result would even come close to what hookworms achieve for me for free (free because I incubate).

      I completely agree that most celiacs won't get a free pass on gluten from hookworms. However, I also do believe that most celiacs would have their reactivity to gluten reduced, some greatly so, and that has value. My own reactions to gluten when I'm not on hookworms are catastrophic, completely disabling, even when the exposure is small. I'm completely free of that now. Would you seriously argue I am making the wrong choice?

      Another conversation with ChatGPT about hookworms

      My question to ChatGPT:
      Is purposeful Hookworm infection a reasonable treatment for those who have many food intolerance issues, including those with gluten intolerance who want to eat gluten?

      Answer:

      No — purposeful hookworm infection is not a reasonable or medically accepted treatment for broad food intolerance, gluten intolerance, or for people with celiac disease who want to eat gluten.

      There is real research behind the idea: hookworms can alter immune responses, and small celiac studies explored whether Necator americanus infection might make gluten exposure less symptomatic. But the best placebo-controlled trial found that hookworm infection did not restore tolerance to sustained gluten intake of 2 grams per day. It was associated with some symptom/quality-of-life improvements, but not enough to make gluten safe or to replace a gluten-free diet. (PubMed)

      For celiac disease, this is especially important: fewer symptoms does not necessarily mean the immune injury is gone. A person could feel better while still risking villous damage, nutrient deficiencies, anemia, bone loss, neurologic issues, infertility risks, or other complications from gluten exposure. The only established treatment remains a strict gluten-free diet.

      For non-celiac gluten sensitivity or multiple food intolerances, hookworm therapy is even less justified. Food intolerance can come from many causes: IBS/FODMAP sensitivity, lactose or fructose intolerance, histamine issues, mast-cell disorders, SIBO, bile acid problems, eosinophilic GI disease, medication effects, true food allergy, or poorly controlled celiac disease. Infecting oneself with a parasite does not diagnose or reliably treat those.

      There are also real risks: hookworms can cause abdominal symptoms, rash at the entry site, anemia/iron deficiency, eosinophilia, protein loss, and complications in people who are pregnant, immunocompromised, underweight, anemic, or medically fragile. Helminth therapy is not FDA-approved as a treatment, and outside a regulated clinical trial it is basically self-experimentation with a live parasite. (Medical News Today)

      A safer path would be: confirm whether this is celiac disease, wheat allergy, or non-celiac gluten sensitivity; check for nutritional deficiencies and inflammation; and work with a gastroenterologist/allergist/dietitian on a structured elimination-and-rechallenge plan. For someone with celiac disease who wants future gluten tolerance, the more reasonable options are legitimate clinical trials of drugs, enzymes, immune therapies, or vaccines — not deliberate parasite infection.
