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.

      There is much helpful 'truth' posted on this forum. Truths about Celiac Disease are based on scientific research and people's experience. Celiac disease is inherited. There are 2 main Celiac 'genes' but they are variations of one gene called HLa - DQ What is inherited when a person inherits one or both of the DQ2 or the DQ8 is a predisposition to develop celiac disease after exposure to a environmental trigger. These 2 versions of the DQ gene are useful in diagnosing  celiac disease but there are about 25 other genes that are known to influence celiac disease so this food intolerance is a multigenic autoimmune disease. So with so many genes involved and each person inheriting a different array of these other genes one person's symptoms may be different than another's symptoms.  so many of these other genes.  I don't think that much research on these other genes as yet. So first I wrote something that seem to tie together celiac disease and migraines.  Then you posted that you had migraines and since you went gluten free they only come back when you are glutened. Then Scott showed an article that reported no connection between migraines and celiac disease, Then Trents wrote that it was possible that celiacs had more migraines  and some believed there was a causal effect. You are each telling the truth as you know it or experienced it.

      Another annoying thing about trying to figure this Celiac life out is reading all of the labels and considering every choice. I shop at Aldi every week and have been for years. I was just officially diagnosed Celiac a couple weeks ago this October after my endoscopy. I've been encouraged by my local Aldi in that they have a lot of gluten free products and clearly labeled foods. I usually buy Milagro corn tortillas because they are cheap and are certified. However, I bought a package of Aldi's Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas without looking too closely (I was assuming they were fine... assuming never gets us anywhere good lol) it doesn't list any wheat products and doesn't say it was processed in a facility with wheat. It has a label that it's lactose free (hello, what?? When has dairy ever been in a tortilla?) Just, ugh. If they can add that label then why can't they just say something is gluten free or not? I did eat some of the tortillas and didn't notice any symptoms but I'm just not sure if it's safe. So I'll probably have to let my family eat them and stick with Milagro. There is way too much uncertainty with this but I guess you just have to stick with the clearly labeled products? I am still learning!

      Thank you all for sharing your experiences! And I am very thankful for that Thanksgiving article, Scott! I will look into it more as I plan my little dinner to bring with on the Holiday I'm also glad a lot of research has been done for Celiac. There's still a lot to learn and discover. And everyone has different symptoms. For me, I get a bad headache right away after eating gluten. Reoccurring migraines and visual disturbances were actually what got my PCP to order a Celiac Panel. I'm glad he did! I feel like when the inflammation hits my body it targets my head, gut, and lower back. I'm still figuring things out but that's what I've noticed after eating gluten! I have been eating gluten-free for almost two months now and haven't had such severe symptoms. I ate a couple accidents along the way but I'm doing a lot better

      @Mari, did you read that second article that Scott linked? It is the most recently date one. "Researchers comparing rates of headaches, including migraines, among celiac patients and a healthy control group showed that celiac subjects experienced higher rates of headaches than control subjects, with the greatest rates of migraines found in celiac women.  Additionally, celiacs had higher rates of migraine than control subjects, especially in women. In fact, four out of five women with celiac disease suffered from migraines, and without aura nearly three-quarters of the time."

      As far as I know and I have made severalonline searches, celiac disease disease has not been recognized as a cause of migraines or any eye problems. What I wrote must have been confusing.
