Celiac.com 01/25/2022 - Phở (pronounced 'FUH') is a delicious soup made from beef, oxtail or chicken broth base. It's the national dish of Vietnam, and in most instances, phở happens to be gluten-free by default.

Phở is almost always served with a variety of condiments, including bean sprouts, cilantro, Thai basil, mint sprigs, scallions, and saw-tooth leaves, bird's eye chilis, sliced jalapeño peppers, hoisin sauce (make sure it's gluten-free), Sriracha (Rooster) Sauce, and lime wedges.

Celiac.com Sponsor (A12):
Definitely avoid egg noodles in your phở.

So, the takeaway is that Phở is typically gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease. Just be careful about what gets added. As always, avoid any ingredients you're not sure about, and talk to the restaurant workers about the need for your dish to be gluten-free.

Our article on top Pho restaurants in San Francisco and the Bay Area led to questions about pho restaurants in a number of other cities. With that in mind, here's a list of some solid pho restaurants in the Los Angeles region.

Without doubt, if you're looking for pho in the Los Angeles area, and you have a few extra minutes, head to Orange County, especially Little Vietnam in Garden Grove. There you'll find a number of great choices in a small area. Please note that our list is barely a starter. It is very much incomplete and meant as a basic reference. There are so many solid pho restaurants in the region that it's hard to count them all, let alone list them here.

If we missed a favorite pho spot of yours, or if you know of a good one, please share it in the comments below.

  Welcome to the forum! Keep in mind that if you quit eating gluten before all testing is done, you may have inaccurate, possibly false negative, test results. When you stop eating gluten, your body stops making the antibodies which are measured in the blood tests. Stopping gluten before an endoscopy may make the intestinal damage harder to detect, and...

  Your feelings are completely valid, and I want to commend you for advocating for yourself despite the initial resistance from your doctor. Navigating a new celiac diagnosis can feel overwhelming, especially when you're adjusting to such a big lifestyle change. It’s natural to grieve the loss of your old eating habits and to feel frustrated by the constant l...

  Welcome to the forum, @Whyz! By "half way to being diagnosed" I assume you mean you have had the blood antibody testing done but not the gastroscopy with biopsy. Is this correct? Were the results of your blood work positive for celiac disease?

  Three days of no gluten is not likely to have much impact on serum antibody test results. I have more concern over exactly what test or tests were ordered. When you get the results back, please post them including the reference ranges for the tests for negative vs. positive. What country are you in? Do you have much choice in what doctors you see?
