I'm traveling to Seattle this week, and I'm looking for info on the best gluten free dining, especially on a budget. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Try Kaili's Kitchen. If you are going to be in the area, and want to try a gluten-free restaurant, you just shouldn't miss it.

It's a 100% gluten free restaurant, where you can have bacon cheese burger with fries, pizzas, egg roles and tofu appetizers, onion rings, fried chicken, pancakes, salad with croutons, old fashioned bread baskets, and all kinds of cakes, and cinamons roles, and pies that look like something out of a classic 50's diner.

And you'd never guess in a million years that anything was gluten free. In fact, it is all delicious and looks much less watered down from the sort of classic homestyle food than what you'd see in Denny's. The bread tastes like your grandmother or a German bakery made it. The cakes are the kind that everyone's grandmother would see as up to snuff, unlike those store bought items.

In fact, there are accounts of people walking into Kaili's eating the food and thinking it is delicious with no idea that it is "special diet" food.

But asbolutely everything is 100% guaranteed gluten free. And they will be helpful with other issues, and even have an egg free, soy free variation of their (already CF) sourdough bread.

Plus they let you order pizzas, bread, cakes, pies, cookie dough, and more to take home as well.

I second that!! Man, reading that post sure made me hungry. We travel to Seattle occasionally, it's only a few hours from here. I am definitely going there next time! Maybe there is hope for having a restaurant hamburger and fries in my future!!! I think I'll start planning our next trip right now..... :P

I just called Kaili's Kitchen because I couldn't get to their website, and she said that they are looking for ways to expand, and open new restaurants, and Spokane (about 20 minutes from me) is definitely a future option. I have butterflies in my stomach just imagining having a bacon cheeseburger and fries or onion rings-or pizza! I will begin praying today that they will open one here.

If only restaurant financiers knew what a loyal group of customers celiacs would be. They would have a guaranteed customer base! If ever there were a business that you were guaranteed to succeed in the restaurant industry, a gluten free restaurant would be the one!

Mmmm... sounds so good. I'm going to be going up to Seattle in the near-ish future, half to visit friends, half to try out a restaurant I can actually eat at!

Idahogirl, dogear... do either of you know if any items are dairy and soy-free, too?

I believe many of their items are dairy-free and some may be soy-free. Be aware that they are not open on Monday or Tuesday, however.

      Eating gluten before blood test

      By trents · Posted

      Understood. And don't beat yourself up about this. Many are in the same boat as you, having experimented with the gluten-free diet before getting formerly tested. It is a logical, common sense approach when you don't have the knowledge about how testing works or you don't have the healthcare resources to afford testing. And some experience such severe reactions to gluten that it is impossible to get through the gluten challenge in order to get tested. So, they must live with the ambiguity of not knowing for sure if they suffer from celiac disease or NCGS. But at the end of the day, the antidote is the same for both. Namely, life-ling abstinence from gluten. Recently there was an article on posted on this forum about the develop of a new testing method for diagnosing celiac disease that do not require a gluten challenge. It is still in the developmental stage and probably years away from becoming main streams even if it pans out. But there is hope at least.

      Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Celiac symptoms but negative endoscopy and antibody test + family history of gastro problems

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your experience is incredibly common and frustrating for many in the celiac and gluten-sensitive community, and it's especially challenging with the added layer of healthcare disparities for people of African descent. A negative endoscopy and blood panel, while the gold standard, are not infallible and can miss cases, particularly if you weren't consuming a significant amount of gluten leading up to the tests (the "gluten challenge"). Your dramatic improvement on a gluten-free diet is the most critical piece of evidence here—your body is giving you the answer the tests could not. The symptoms you're describing now, especially the dyshidrotic eczema and blister bumps, are huge red flags for a gluten-related disorder, and your GP dismissing the possibility of dermatitis herpetiformis without a biopsy is a significant oversight. Requesting a new dermatologist and specifically asking for a skin biopsy next to an active lesion (not on it) is the absolute best next step. In the meantime, documenting your symptoms with photos and a food/symptom diary will build a powerful case for yourself. While the financial burden of a gluten-free diet is very real, your health is the priority; perhaps focusing on naturally gluten-free whole foods like rice, beans, and vegetables, rather than expensive processed substitutes, could be a more sustainable path forward until you can get a definitive opinion.
