gluten-free in Eureka, CA

On my recent trip to Eureka (northern CA), I found it difficult to impossible to eat out safely.  Luckily, I packed gluten-free freezed dried food created by a company called paleo to go.  I ate that and food that I purchased from a local natural grocery store.  I did not feel safe eating at the few restaurants that offered gluten-free options, so I just did not eat out.  Northern CA is a great place for hiking and enjoying the outdoors.  The redwood trees are amazing.  But if you visit and need to eat gluten-free, be prepared.

I've been to Eureka quite a few times, and you are right, it's a challenge to feel safe eating out. I do bring GliadinX whenever I eat out now, which had helped a lot, but when it comes to safety there is no substitute for brining your own food. I love Mexican food and can usually find something safe in a family run place. In Eureka I go to Oaxaca Grill Restaurant.

It has been near impossible to find anything Celiac friendly in town with the exception of a food truck called Pig and Leaf. The food tuck is parked at a dispensary/spa of all places and has a good atmosphere. The cook assured us that he prepares everything in a separate station. My girlfriend has Celiac and she did not get glutened, so props to the food truck. We stayed in Eureka for a week and rented an AirBNB with a nice kitchen to cook all of our meals. There is a Eureka Natural Foods store, which is just like a Whole Foods, so you can get what you need there. This place is an absolute dream for the outdoor junky, but a nightmare for someone with Celiac.

      I forgot to mention that exercise also triggers it, except for the period right before I tried the gluten challenge where I could do moderately intense workouts without getting this burning sensation and extreme fatigue for days afterwards.

      Hello everyone, I am 30 years old, female, and have Hashimoto's thyroiditis and suspected celiac disease (wasn't able to complete a gluten challenge, but have the symptoms and HLA-DQ8) or at least some kind of gluten sensitivity. When I first got diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis, I went on AIP and never reintroduced gluten. Whenever I would eat a little bit of gluten I would wake up feeling very old, achy, and unrested, with a burning sensation everywhere especially on my hip bones and chest area. It felt like severe inflammation. This would also happen during stressful times and times where I hadn't been sleeping well.  This symptom had decreased in intensity and completely gone away before I tried to do a gluten challenge over a month ago. Now it is back and I have it every day when I wake up. It usually goes away or decreases in intensity after a few hours of being awake. Is this inflammation or something else, and is it related to Hashimoto's thyroiditis or celiac (or gluten sensitivity) or both? Could it be related to not moving for long periods of time (as is the case when I am sleeping)? I was also extremely sensitive to all foods when I first started AIP about 3 or 4 years ago, but with time, I could tolerate more foods and even gluten in small amounts occasionally. Now my stomach is super sensitive, I am afraid to eat again, and my stools are abnormal. Thank you.

      @MagsM Did your doctor do the DGP IgG and DGP IgA tests or the tTg IgG test.  It looks like he just tested total IgG.   Were you taking any medications or over the counter stuff before the test?  Some can suppress the immune system and cause false negatives.
