Hi,

I don't know about in Corvallis, but Portland has loads of stuff...great places to get a gluten-free meal and /or food products. I am sure there is stuff available down there, but I suggest going to the local health food store and asking them...they might be able to hook you up with a support group.

I am in Eugene and there are a few wonderful places down here. Sweet Life has gluten-free brownies and other pastries. Capella Market carries tons of Kinnikinnik products. Market of Choice also carries many gluten-free free products. There are tons of options in Eugene.

I was also hoping there would be a support group down here but I e-mailed the person that I found online and I never got a response. I think that they haven't met for several years. Good Luck!

I am in the Portland/Hillsboro Oregon area. Still trying to figure out this whole gluten free thing.

I live in Albany!

Would be nice to go to dinner with someone in my area....maybe start a little social group of gluten free people.....

I'm almost 50yrs and been gluten-free for nearly 20yrs, much family gluten-free too

Two grand girls 2 and 5 gluten free, would like to swap a tiny bit of babysitting in a gluten free home....I do housekeeping for a living.....would also like to find other kids my grand girls could play with when I have them every other weekend.

Hey Jerry, so am I. I'm in Beaverton and just started trying to figure out the gluten-free life this fall. I haven't tried any restaurants yet but I want to try Corbett's Fish House over in the Cedar Hills mall area (I think). I hear it's good.

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      This is a really common area of confusion. Most natural cheeses (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, Parmesan, brie, camembert, and most blue cheeses) are inherently gluten-free, and you’re right that the molds used today are typically grown on gluten-free media. The bigger risks tend to come from processed cheeses: shredded cheese (anti-caking agents), cheese s...

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Kirkland brand (at Costco) is gluten-free and is 2,000 IU.

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Thanks a lot for your response! Can you maybe specify which kind of cheeses I should be cautious about? Camembert/Brie and blue cheeses (the molds of which are nowadays mostly grown on gluten-free media, though, so I've read, right?) or other ones as well? Also, I was under the impression that yeast is generally gluten-free if not declared otherwise...

      Hi @trents, yes I've had my levels checked in Dec 2025 which revealed vit D deficiency. I considered eggs although they only contain about 45 IU vitamin D/egg. I need 2000 IU vitamin D for maintenance as per my doctor. Although now, I likely need way more than that to treat the deficiency. My doctor has yet to advise me on dosing for deficiency. I've also...

Most natural cheeses (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, Parmesan, brie, camembert, and most blue cheeses) are inherently gluten-free, and you’re right that the molds used today are typically grown on gluten-free media. The bigger risks tend to come from processed cheeses: shredded cheese (anti-caking agents), cheese spreads, beer-washed rinds, smoke-flavored cheeses, and anything with added seasonings or “natural flavors,” where cross-contact can happen. As for yeast, you’re also correct — yeast itself is gluten-free. The issue is the source: brewer’s yeast and yeast extracts can be derived from barley unless labeled gluten-free, while baker’s yeast is generally safe. When in doubt, sticking with whole, unprocessed cheeses and products specifically labeled gluten-free is the safest approach, especially if you’re highly sensitive.

I've also considered cod liver oil, although again, if it's processed in a facility that has gluten, especially on flour form, I worried to test it, even if they have protocols in place to mitigate cross-contamination with gluten.
