Traveling To Sacramento

Hi, I'll be traveling to Sacramento in June for a business trip and would like to know some places where I can eat while over there? I'll be staying at the Sacramento Hilton, and I'm not familiar with the area at all, so it would be great to have some suggestions =)

thanks

p.s. I'm still learning how to navigate this site (as well as this condition!), so I'm not really sure where I should be posting this topic...

Am I posting this in the wrong forum? I also posted in the Eating Out in Restaurants area but I haven't received any responses on either side... maybe I'm in the wrong place altogether? :huh:

No, you're on the right forum...I live in California, but don't know Sacramento at all either. I have a friend who lives there, but she is not gluten-free so wouldn't be of much help I'm afraid. Hum, I know there are a couple of people who live in that area, but I haven't seen them post much recently...give them a bit of time to find your posts. There was a thread a few months ago about California...I'll see if I can find it and post the link...I seem to remember some people talking about Sacramento, but not sure exactly what was said.

Well, here's the thread I was thinking of, I hope it helps a little. If there are any Whole Foods stores near you, you can always pick up snacky things...they do have a gluten-free bakery with breads, cookies, etc. They also care Lara Bars, Cliff Nectar Bars and Tropical Source chocolate bars. You can also try PF Changs or Outback, which have gluten free menus.

Wish I could be of more help, but I only get up to see my friend once every 5 years or so and each time she has to give me directions, lol.

Hi,

I'm in the Sacramento area. I'm new to this too, so don't eat out much yet, but I'll give you what information I have.

The Hilton is in the Arden area, so there's a Mall right down the street (Arden Faire Mall) on the other side of the freeway.

Whole Foods is also on Arden Way, on the corner of Arden and Eastern. It's about 5 miles from the Hilton. Just keep driving past the mall, and it will be on the left. If you talk to the customer service desk, they may have more information on local celiac-friendly restaurants.

PF Chang's and Outback both have gluten-free menus.

Outback Steakhouse has a location on Howe Ave, which is near your hotel. If you drive past the mall, you'll see Howe Ave just a few lights after that. Take a right and I think it's on the left.

In the Sacramento area, there is a PF Changs in Roseville and one in Downtown Sacramento on J Street.

If you're planning on eating at the hotel at all you also should contact the hotel and talk to the restaurant manager and let him know about your special dietary needs. I would also suggest you talk to the people at your work who are coordinating everything and as if there are any planned company meals, and where they are, so that you can call them. Given enough notice, most restaurants and caterers can easily accomodate you.

Hope that helps.

Nancy

Hi, thanks for the responses =)

I'm actually headed out today, and with your help I've compiled a list of places to check out, thanks!

I've spoken to the executive sous chef at the hotel restaurant, and he told me that the staff and waitstaff are all familiar with gluten intolerance and I just need to let them know when I'm eating in their restaurant. I first told him I have Celiac sprue/celiac disease and he'd never heard of it, so then I said it basically means I'm gluten intolerant and asked if he was familiar with that, and he said yes, they have had several guests with gluten intolerance and are able to work with them =)

I will let you know how it went with the hotel when I return, thanks again for the help.

Good info from Nancy. I live in Chico and drive down to go to Whole Foods every two months. It's easy to find from the Arden area - just keep following Arden until you get to Eastern.

I have gotten decent service at the Black Angus (out off Sunrise - not near Arden though) and gotten a sirloin lunch with steamed veggies two or three times now and not gotten sick. Also, there are a few Trader Joes aroudn the area - one not too far from Arden, it's a Fulton and Marconi.

Hope you have a good time in Sac!

Stephanie

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand. The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free. I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree...

      Insomnia help

      Thank you for your post, @nanny marley It is interesting what you say about 'It's OK not to sleep'. Worrying about sleeping only makes it much harder to sleep. One of my relatives is an insomniac and I am sure that is part of the problem. Whereas I once had a neighbour who, if she couldn't sleep, would simply get up again, make a cup of tea, read,...

      It could be a fructan intolerance? How do you do with dates? https://www.dietvsdisease.org/sorry-your-gluten-sensitivity-is-actually-a-fructan-intolerance/

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Thank’s for addressing the issue of mushrooms. I was under the impression that only wild mushrooms were gluten-free. Have been avoiding cultivated mushrooms for years. Also, the issue of smoked food was informative. In France last year, where there is hardly any prepared take-out food that is gluten-free, I tried smoked chicken. Major mistake!

The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind

Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.
