Welcome to the forum! I've not been to Austin, TX, but for what it's worth I discovered on a trip to Oregon a few years ago that it seemed to be a particularly gluten-free-friendly place, at least compared to California. For example they had gluten-free sub rolls at Subway there, but not in California. There are many other examples, but it seemed like celiac awareness was much greater there, especially when eating out.

Thanks for welcoming me here, Scott. 
Ideally, someone will venture into this forum room and respond.   Grocery shopping may be very similar around the Country if there’s a Whole Foods or Natural Foods store locally but dining out is always a challenge and even in NYC the are scant few dedicated gluten-free restaurants and that’s out of 1000’s.  One would think there’d be a significant market for this in SoCal but apparently not.  I’ll check the forum posts to see how members manage.

Hello! I don't know if you're still looking or not, but I'm planning to move back home to San Diego from Jacksonville, Florida at the end of October, and I've been having trouble finding a roommate because I need a gluten-free kitchen.

There are indeed Whole Foods markets in San Diego, as well as Trader Joe's, several farmer's markets, and some local organic and specialty grocers. There are also both chain and local restaurants with gluten-free menus that are really good about cross-contamination if you tell them you have celiac. A great place to find recommendations and reviews is the Facebook group "Gluten Free San Diego."  If you asked there, I'm sure somebody could tell you if there was a similar group for Irvine.

      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.
