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 sure wish we had a place like that here.

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.

      Scott, I am mostly asymptomatic. I was diagnosed based on high antibodies, low ferritin (3) and low vitamin D (10). I wasn't able to get in for the biopsy until 3 months after the blood test came back. I was supposed to keep eating gluten during this time. Well why would I continue doing something that I know to be harmful for 3 more months to just get this test? So I did quit gluten and had the biopsy. It was negative for celiacs. I continued gluten free with iron supps and my ferritin came back up to a reasonable, but not great level of around 30-35.  Could there be something else going on? Is there any reason why my antibodies would be high (>80) with a negative biopsy? could me intestines have healed that quickly (3 months)?  I'm having a hard time staying gluten free because I am asymptomatic and i'm wondering about that biopsy. I do have the celiacs gene, and all of the antibody tests have always come back high. I recently had them tested again. Still very high. I am gluten free mostly, but not totally. I will occasionally eat something with gluten, but try to keep to a minimum. It's really hard when the immediate consequences are nil.  with high antibodies, the gene, but a negative biopsy (after 3 months strict gluten-free), do i really have celiacs? please say no. lol. i think i know the answer.  Asa

      I have had a long year of testing unfortunately still not diagnosed , although one thing they definitely agree I'm gluten intolerant, the thing for me I have severe back troubles they wouldnt perform the tests and I couldn't have a full MRI because I'm allergic to the solution , we tryed believe me  I tryed lol , another was to have another blood test after consuming gluten but it makes me so bad I tryed it for only a week, and because I have a trapped sciatic nerve when I get bad bowels it sets that off terribly so I just take it on myself now , I eat a gluten free diet , I'm the best I've ever been , and if I slip I know it so for me i have my own diagnosis  and I act accordingly, sometimes it's not so straight forward for some of us , for the first time in years I can plan to go out , and I have been absorbing my food better , running to the toilet has become occasionally now instead of all the time , i hope you find a solution 🤗

      I was undiagnosed for decades. My ferritin when checked in 2003 was 3. It never went above 10 in the next 20 years. I was just told to "take iron". I finally requested the TTgIgA test in 2023 when I was well and truly done with the chronic fatigue and feeling awful. My numbers were off the charts on the whole panel.  they offered me an endoscopic biopsy 3 months later, but that i would need to continue eating gluten for it to be accurate. so i quit eating gluten and my intestine had healed by the time i had the biopsy (i'm guessing??). Why else would my TTgIgA be so high if not celiacs? Anyway, your ferritin will rise as your intestine heals and take HEME iron (brand 4 arrows). I took 20mg of this with vitamin c and lactoferrin and my ferritin went up, now sits around 35.  you will feel dramatically better getting your ferritin up, and you can do it orally with the right supplements. I wouldn't get an infusion, you will get as good or better results taking heme iron/vc/lf.

      Scott, I agree with everything you said except the term "false negative". It should be a "true negative" just plain negative. I actually looked up true/false negative/positive as it pertains to testing. The term "false negative" would be correct if you are positive (have anti-bodies) and the test did not pick them up. That would be a problem with the "test" itself. If you were gluten-free and got tested, you more than likely would test "true" negative or just negative. This means that the gluten-free diet is working and no anti-bodies should be present. I know it sounds confusing and if you don't agree feel free to respond.

      I realized it is actually important to get an official diagnosis because then insurance can cover bone density testing and other lab work to see if any further damage has been done because of it. Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have 4 kids, and I really want to know. If I really do have it then they may have increased risk.
