there's pf changs and outback in the area. there's a lot of fancy restaurants that could almost certain accomodate you. and you might try googling for vegan restaruants in the area - there's a raw/vegan place in fountain valley that isn't too far from los alamitos that has a number of things you can have. (it's called au lac, and there's a website for it if you google the name.)

Thanks so much Tiffany

I have the gluten-free menue from pf changs/outbacks so that' a start.

Thought I'd email or call some of the people from the support groups that are around that area. Got them off the home site here on celiac.com

Where do you live Tiffany? Our son lives in Hollywood and my mother in law in Los Alamitos so we'll be going from one place to the other. We also wanted to go to Santa Calalina Island. I'd love to stay over nite but heard it was expencive. Been cking on line but not getting much detailed info. Have you been there?

I'm here in LA. There is a whole foods in Hollywood on Fairfax and Santa Monica that has lots of gluten-free stuff, for a store in that area.

I've had fabulous luck with Gulf Stream and Houstons in Century City, they are a higher end chain, Houstons is steak, Gulf Stream is fish, owned by the same people.

The Stinking Rose on La Cienega ( in hollywood) let me bring my own bread to enjoy thier roasted garlic and told me all the ingredients of thier "secret sauces". They were super-helpful and modified stuff for me. Thier Mojitos are awesome too. Again in the mid-high price range.

There is a Thai chain in La called East Wind, there are 5 around LA, and they have been great but I do have my Thai version of the Triumph cards that I use with them.

There is another Thai place on Cahuenga above Sunset called Chan Darae, but again, would be helpful to have the Thai language cards.

IN and OUt is a burger chain here that is out of this world. They are all over.

Order a burger protien style, no sauce, don't do the grilled onions, and ask them to use a clean grill cause you're "allergic" to wheat. Thier french fries and shakes are safe. ITS ASTOUNDING. If your relatives live here, they know what In and Out is.

If you'd like, PM me and I'll give you my cell, if any gluten emergencies come up. I can't think of any, but what the hey, right.

I'm not sure I know where Los Alamitos is, and I've never been to Catalina. I hear its really pretty though.

I'm no longer in SoCal (moved to Seattle a few months ago), but used to live just south of Los Alamitos. There's a Whole Foods down that way as well (I forget which city...) and a Mother's Market in Huntington Beach that has some fun stuff. You'll probably find a bit more in LA proper, rather than Orange County.

thanks so much to all of you for your help. :)

The last thing I want is to have the big 'D' while out there. :ph34r:

Elonwy-I'm going to take you up on your KIND offer of your cell phone #. How generous and supportive you are.

In Los Alamitos, you should try the sweet and sour cabbage rolls at the Katella Deli. They are to die for! You can call me too if you can't find your way around. I live in Anaheim, about 15 minutes from Los Alamitos area and will be happy to show you around. In Huntington Beach you can eat safely at Sparks. It overlooks the pier right downtown. The chefs wife is celiac and he loves to accomodate our special diets. Also a Vietnamese place called Pho Republic in Anaheim. Wonderful! Wendy

Dear Wendy--

I can't thank you enough for your generous offer.

You won't believe this but I used to teach in Anaheim. It's been years ago but we used to go to the top of our apt building and watch the Disneyland fire works everynite. Gosh, can't remember the name of the street now but about 4 blocks from it. I taught at the Betsy Ross Elem school. Is it still there? :blink:

You know I think it was off of Katella...After i married we lived in a garden apt off Magnolia.

wow small world. We are coming to see our son and it's so funny, Elonwy on the forum, has given us some great ideas. It seems she works right across the street from where our son works. :lol:

Funny your name is Wendy...because I just got glutten so badly there on Tues nite. Just starting to feel human today... ;) After that I've been really worried about the 'food' issue while traveling and we don't want to spend our time out there COOKING...I HATE COOKING ANYWAY.

You've given me some great ideas esp around Los Alamitos cause that's where my husbands mom lives and that's where we are staying. We have been to Hoff's Hut. Is that a good safe place to eat? we also ate in a mexican place in a big shopping center at the end of her street. She lives on Magnolia in Rossmore.

We love Huntington Beach so Sparks is great to know, esp if his wife is celiac...

We are going to Santa Catalina Island for a nite. Have you ever been there?

I'd love to have your cell # if you want to give it to me in a pm

I know that there are Trader Joe's out there but not where it is..

Thanks again..

Hi Judy,

I live in Hollywood. There is a Trader Joe's on Santa Monica Blvd a few blocks west of La Brea. It's in a little strip mall kind of back from the street. Technically, the Trader Joe's is in West Hollywood. The Whole Foods is wonderful that Elonwy mentioned (don't eat from their deli though, whether you are gluten-free or not :o ). There's a Whole Foods about every 6 feet in this town, it is hard not to find one :)

There's a raw foods place in Santa Monica city at 6th and Broadway called Juliano's Raw that is $$ but delicious and I think everything (?) is gluten free.

Email or pm me if you need anything while you're out here merika @ merikaonline.com

I've been violently sick from it several times pre-gluten-free and have many non-gluten-free friends with the same experience. Somebody in charge there is just not keeping the food fresh/safe. Yuck!

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.

Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.
