Hello all! My family is vacationing in the Union Square area of San Francisco and I am looking for restaurant recommendations. I'm extremely sensitive, and usually don't eat out, but it would be so nice if there was a safe place. My kids really want to eat in Chinatown too, if anyone knows a good place. Thanks!

E&O Restaurant and Bar on the edge of Chinatown and Union Square is a great Asian place with lots of gluten-free options. My husband and I have eaten there multiple times, and have always been pleased with our meals. The staff is fantastic!

There are many other places in the area that can accommodate gluten-free diners, but i think E&O really stands out.

Asian  Box is completely gluten free, although that information is not very prominent on their website.  I haven't been to the SF location but enjoyed the Mountain View location.  It looks like the SF location may be within the Macy's department store.

Mariposa Bakery in the Ferry Bldg. right on the bay.  Mariposa has fantastic sandwiches and salads,  either hot or cold, on your choice of breads or rolls.  Try the chocolate cupcakes!

I had lunch at Nopalito on 9th by Golden Gate park yesterday and they were very helpful and knowledgeable. I had a yummy chicken soup with avocado, corn tortillas, cauliflower, and chipotle pepper. There were also a few other items on the menu that were gluten free. They were upfront about the items I should not have- including letting me know the chips were cooked in the same fryer as flour items. I really appreciate when they know and tell you that sort of thing.
It's the first time I've eaten out since I was diagnosed 6 months ago and didn't feel bad the next day. I will definitely go back. That soup was really good :) Open Original Shared Link

      If you're ever in the Peoria IL area - Queen of Squash is 100% gluten-free.   Pekin (just outside Peoria) Whiskey Taco is 90% gluten-free.  The owner's mom is Celiac so they get it!   Just let your server know.   https://thequeenofsquash.com/ https://whiskey-taco.com/

      Do you have online access to your celiac panel test results such that you could post them? tTG-IGG is kind of a secondary test. A weak positive in that one could indicate celiac disease but since it isn't as specific a marker as the tTG-IGA it is not real convincing. You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) for which there is no test. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. It is 10x more common than celiac disease and shares many of the same symptoms. Some experts believe it can be a precursor to celiac disease. The antidote for both is the same: total avoidance of gluten.

      I haven't been on this forum for a long time, but it was absolutely wonderful during the diagnostic process!  My path for celiac disease diagnosis was the following: -Had normal IgA level, and my only serology positive test was the DGP IgG -Deficiencies in both Vitamins D and K that did not increase at first despite massive supplementation -Diagnosis of fat malabsorption both total and neutral -Diagnosis of severe exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) -Testing was completed to rule out causes of EPI, and the only one not ruled out was celiac. -Both traditional endoscopy and pill capsule endoscopy yielded negative results for biopsy confirmation, but my GI doctor said that both procedures simply could have missed the damaged spots. -EPI and fat malabsorption resolved after taking Creon for 6 months since my EPI was caused by celiac -23 and Me said I don't have either of the two prominent genes for celiac disease   Remember that you might not have 'textbook' symptoms, but you still may have celiac disease.   Also, I am SO incredibly grateful for this site for all the learning it has allowed me to do. I have a senior dog, and these last few weeks with her were very scary! After two hospital stays, she finally received an IBD diagnosis after having gastroenteritis and pancreatitis. I know that celiac disease is not IBD, however, through reading this site, I learned more about it. I was relieved when I found out she had IBD and not cancer this past Wednesday. I know IBD can be managed thanks to what I've learned here!  So celiac.com, not only did you help me, but you helped my pup too! Thank you ❤️

      It was tTG IGG that was flagged high. I'm not sure about the other stuff. I'm still eating my normal stuff.

      Thank you for your post, @Nedast, and welcome to the forum. It is interesting to read of your experiences. Although I've not had TMJ, from time to time I have had a bit of mild pain in my jaw, sharp stabbing pains and tingling in my face which appears to have been caused by issues with my trigeminal nerve.  I read that sometimes a damaged trigeminal nerve in coeliacs can heal after adopting a gluten free diet.  I try to keep out of cold winds or wear a scarf over my face when it is cold and windy, those conditions tend to be my 'trigger' but I do think that staying clear of gluten has helped.  Also, sleeping with a rolled up towel under my neck is a tip I picked up online, again, that seems to bring benefits. Thank you again for your input - living with this sort of pain can be very hard, so it is good to be able to share advice.
