Does anyone know of any gluten free friendly restaurants in Napa Valley, California?

I was out in Napa last spring (we were visiting after having lived in San Francisco for quite some time). The Calistoga Inn was wonderful and accomodating. I had a delicious risotto dish there with fresh veggies and no problems. by the way, if you weren't planning on hitting Calistoga, you should! It's a great spa town in Napa valley with mudbaths, massages, hot springs- heavenly. And the grocery store has lots of gluten-free products as well. I found that in the San Francisco/Northern California area there is a great deal of awareness about Celiac's.Also, check out this link:

At the end they recommend Bistro Jeanty in Yountville (Napa) which I have heard wonderful things about from friends. have a great trip! B

Thank you so much for this information. We are going to Napa in two weeks and planning on staying in Napa for a week. We are planning on visiting Calistoga for one day and tring the mudbaths and getting a massage, so this information on Calistoga Inn is helpful. Thanks again and I'll check out this website.

We had an amazing time in Napa, the hot air balloon ride made the trip even more special. I emailed

Bistro Jeanty in Yountville (Napa), before we left and their cheif did not even know what gluten was. They were not very helpful at all, they should not have their name on a glute free site. I told them that and they said they never put it on that site. One restaurant that was very helpful was Hurleys, it is down the street from Bistro Jeanty. We also ate at Cole's steakhouse and had no problems.

Oh I'm so excited to hear about your trip! Napa is one of my favorite places and I'd retire there IF I could afford it. I've printed this info for next visit there. Thanks again!

Check out the Culinary Institute in the area. They have a restaurant, and I imagine that chefs in training would be a good choice at making a tasty gluten free meal.

Carol- Glad you had a great time! Love it there. disappointed about Bistro jeanty though- a friend of mine (whgo does not have Celiac's) loves it there and they were on the Bay Area list. Oh well! I'm hoping to make it out in March so it was good to hear your recommendations. Best, Beverly

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      A lot to think about here. Does anyone have any recommendations for third party laboratories that will do full panel celiac screens private pay in the U.S.?

      You don't need an official diagnosis to request a gluten-free diet in either a hospital or nursing home--this can be requested by anyone. The higher costs associated with existing conditions for life insurance is a reality, and regardless of your politics, it could become a reality again for health insurance in the USA. For many this could make health insurance unaffordable, thus, everyone who is undiagnosed should understand such potential consequences before they go the official diagnostic route. As mentioned, once it's on your medical record, it won't go away.
