Hey all,

I am travelling from Australia to the states in Feb. I have managed to find a bunch of places in NYC and LA. A couple in vegas, however i was wondering if someone could assist in providing some ideas for places in Orange County. I read somewhere about a place called sparks in Huntington beach.

Ive done the whole thing about requesting gluten free on airline (flying united) however reading the posts on here im not exactly convinced that it will go smooth sailing.

Thanks in advance.

I used to live in HB. Sparks is on Main Street, downtown, right off of Pacific Coast Highway. I haven't eaten there, but have heard they can do gluten free for you, and I know they were always packed. There's a PF Changs (chinese, and they have a gluten-free menu) in Long Beach that's about a 20 minute drive from downtown HB, as well as an Outback (ha! don't know if you'd care for their Australian theme) with has a gluten-free menu. There's a place called Au Lac (Open Original Shared Link), that has vegetarian and vegan and raw foods - which might sound a bit out there, but can be a fun trip since many raw items are naturally gluten-free.

try pm-ing "picture perfect". She's from that area. Do you have a set of the Triumph dining cards? They are well worth the money and have saved me from getting glutened on one occasion.

What gluten free restaurants have you found in the LA areas? I'm going to be going there for two weeks next month and would love to know.

Thanks,

Carol

      I don't see how cornstarch could alter the test results. Where did you read that?

      For pain relief I take a combination of Thiamine (Benfotiamine), Pyridoxine B 6, and Cobalamine B12.  The combination of these three vitamins has analgesic effects.  I have back pain and this really works.  The B vitamins are water soluble and easily excreted.   Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your results!

      Welcome to the forum, @Xravith. I experienced similar symptoms before my diagnosis.  Mine were due to the loss of vitamins and minerals, essential nutrients we must get from our food.  With Celiac Disease, the intestinal lining, made up of thousands of villi, gets damaged and cannot absorb essential vitamins and minerals, especially the eight B vitamins.  The loss of Thiamine B 1 can cause muscle loss, inability to gain weight, edema (swelling), fatigue, migraines and palpitations.  Low thiamine can cause Gastrointestinal Beriberi with symptoms of nausea, abdominal pain and bloating.   Thiamine is only stored for a couple of weeks, so if you don't absorb enough from food daily, as the thiamine deficiency worsens physical symptoms gradually worsen.  If you're eating lots of carbs (like gluten containing foods usually do), you need more thiamine to process them (called high calorie malnutrition).  Thiamine works with all the other B vitamins, so if you're low in one, you're probably getting low in the others, too, and minerals like iron, magnesium, zinc, and calcium, as well as Vitamin D..  Talk to your doctor about checking for nutritional deficiencies.  Most doctors rarely recognize vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially in thiamine. Get a DNA test to see if you carry any Celiac genes.  If you do not have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably IBS.  If you do have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably Celiac.  I was misdiagnosed with IBS for years before my Celiac diagnosis.   Keep us posted on your progress. P. S. Deficiency in thiamine can cause false negatives on antibody tests, as can diabetes and anemia.

      No she didn't because if I want to ask I have to pay 700$ for 1 hour appointment so I couldn't even ask. I read that fillers like cornstash can alter the result and tylenol contains it so that's why I tried to find someone who can answer.

      Did the GI doc give you any rational for stopping the Tylenol during the gluten challenge? I have never heard of this before and I can't imagine a good reason for it. Ibuprofen, maybe, because it is an anti inflammatory but acetaminophen?  I don't see that it would have any impact on the test results to take Tylenol.
