Ok, well I've been to Los Angeles a few times and although I don't know of any restaurants that have gluten free menus, I do know of a lot of restaurants that are very accomodating.

*The Polo Lounge (at the Beverly Hills Hotel): I stayed there when I was in Los Angeles and they would make me anything that I wanted. They told me that the next time I come to let them know ahead of time so they can get all of the proper ingredients to make me gluten free bread, waffles, pancakes, etc.

*Locanda Veneta: This is an Italian restaurant and it is one of my favorite restaurants in Los Angeles. I've eaten there quite a few times and they always make me something flavorful that is gluten free. A lot of times I can order off the menu without altering anything because a lot of their stuff is very health-conscious. The only thing that I could have for dessert there were berries.

*Morton's restaurant (not Morton's steakhouse)

*Dolce Enoteca (Ashton Kutcher's restaurant): This was another one of my favorites. They make this appetizer which is fried zucchini, shrimp, and calamari and they fry it in garbanzo bean flour so it is gluten free. It is really good!

*In-N-Out Burger has a fair amount of gluten free choices. I know the french fries are gluten free. I don't eat meat so I'm not sure about the other options.

*There's this other restaurant that I can't remember but it makes a lot of really good salads and is on the street behind Rodeo drive. They also have Ciao Bella ice cream there which is gluten free along with a lot of different fruit/berry plates.

I live in nyc where there are a lot of gluten free restaurants but although I didn't find any in los angeles I find that overall they are a lot more knowledgeable in what gluten is. When I'm there it's usually on vacation and I eat out every meal and have never gotten sick. Have fun!

Beverly Hills/West Hollywood Area?

There is a PF Changs in the Beverly Center.

The Stinking Rose on LA Cienaga, they don't have gluten-free menu, but if you call in advance, they will accomodate and even let you bring your own bread to enjoy with the roasted garlic appetizer (YUM)

Solar Harvest 242 S Beverly Drive Has Gluten Free items on the menu and can make any sandwich gluten-free, they keep Food for Life Bread handy. Only open til 9pm though. Super Yummy.

Ruth Chris Steakhouse on S Beverly Drive, super accomodating, has a gluten free chocolate cake.

La Fe 1525 West Sunset, fresh mexican food, fresh fruit drinks. Only one owner speaks english, I recommend having a spanish dining card.

A Votre Sante 13016 San Vincente Blvd @26th Fabu Risottos. some of thier desserts are only "wheat free" not gluten-free.

For IN and Out. Order your burger "protien style" do not order with sauce or grilled onions. Ask them to cook it on a seperate grill away from the buns. They keep a clean grill open for this. French Fries and Shakes are safe.

Many of the higher end restaurants in that area are super accomodating with the use of dining cards. There is also a chain of Thai restaurants called East Wind THai that are awesome, but I would recommend having Thai dining cards for them.

Theres sushi everywhere, I recommend going to the slightly higher scale sushi places, the smaller hole in the wall ones are less helpful.

Enjoy.

elonwy' turned my hubby and I on to In & Out burgers and we ate there 3 times in the 2 weeks we were there.

When you first go to one, get a map the give out and you can find them when ever you are traveling.

Have a great time. Order as Elonwy said to do...

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

I wanted to thank you lovely people for posting information. I printed off the restaurant list and brought it with me this past weekend for my LA trip!

The Stinking Rose was VERY DELICIOUS! And I enjoyed my first In-N-Out Burger: double-double protein style (no sauce or grilled onions). french fries, and a chocolate shake! I also tried out the Solar Harvest! It was super fun to have a menu in front of me with a selection of options that were gluten free-- And I went there twice so I could get another chocolate cubcake- no joke- gluten free!!! Wonderful! I also ate at a Chipotle next door to the Solar Harvest, for some hard shell tacos.

Thanks again for posting your info! It was very helpful.

Check out Outback (steakhouse) and PF Chang's (Chinese) websites for gluten free choices.

Good news...further research has led me to discover that La Grande Orange on Main Street in Santa Monica offers a gluten free menu : Open Original Shared Link

And you can build your own custom burger bowl at the counter on ocean park in Santa Monica without gluten, dairy etc using this handy dandy chart: Open Original Shared Link

Hope this helps someone out there who is in the mood to go out!

I think the best restaurant for gluten-free in West hollywood is Hugo's Restaurant on Santa Monica blvd. Very extensive menu with reasonable prices. They also offer breakfast, lunch and dinner. They specialize in gluten-free, vegan and vegetarian but also offer regular food so everyone's happy!

      Major Glutening

      Hi to all I am 4 years Celiac now. I have Ataxia too from gluten and it’s been a major learning curve and adjustment. But my query is about a recent set back. I was Glutened and started an OTC medicine to cope with a symptom. It stated it was free from gluten specifically. But in the following weeks I was getting more ill and couldn’t fathom what was wro...

      Gluten Allergy

      @MMeade, People who get over-methylated are frequently low in Pyridoxine Vitamin B6. Pyridoxine helps regulate the methylation process so it doesn't run amok. P-5-P is the active form. All eight essential B vitamins work in concert together. Just taking one or two can throw the rest out of balance. If you have malabsorption as occurs in Celiac...

      @Rejoicephd, I took high dose Vitamin D to correct my severe deficiency quickly. It's safe to do this. I felt much better once my Vitamin D level was about eighty ng/mL.

      Thanks @knitty kitty for keeping me thinking about the importance of vitamins. And I appreciate you sending those papers (gives me something for my science brain to work through! I’m a PhD in biology so I like reading these sorts of things). It’s been surprising to see how little is understood about the cause of fibromyalgia. My Vit D went low again on my ...

      Major Glutening

      By FayeBr · Posted

      Hi to all I am 4 years Celiac now. I have Ataxia too from gluten and it’s been a major learning curve and adjustment. But my query is about a recent set back. I was Glutened and started an OTC medicine to cope with a symptom. It stated it was free from gluten specifically. But in the following weeks I was getting more ill and couldn’t fathom what was wrong. I had gastritis which is awful and lots of other neuro and body symptoms that I get when Glutened. I always find it difficult to think straight too because of the brain fog and fatigue so this wasn’t helping me think logically. And then the lightbulb moment of the medication. I emailed the company in my gluten haze (by this time the symptoms were awful and reminded me of my pre gluten free days) and they responded saying although it states ‘this product does not contain gluten’ they could not guarantee it didn’t have gluten in it from manufacturing processes etc etc. I stopped it just over 2 weeks ago. I had been taking it for 6 weeks. So in the last few weeks I have started to improve from being bedridden with fatigue and aches/pains,  gastritis, abdominal pain and GI problems, brain fog, mental health symptoms, pins and needles, migraines and much more to just about functioning. I feel I have done so much damage to my body and it’s such a set back. But my question is has anyone else had a major episode like this and how long did it take to recover? I still have symptoms now and it’s been over 2 weeks. I’m afraid I have made my Ataxia worse and the panic attacks and anxiety are through the roof. I’d forgotten what that was like. But any thoughts or experiences would help. Thank you.

      @MMeade, People who get over-methylated are frequently low in Pyridoxine Vitamin B6.  Pyridoxine helps regulate the methylation process so it doesn't run amok.  P-5-P is the active form. All eight essential B vitamins work in concert together.  Just taking one or two can throw the rest out of balance.  If you have malabsorption as occurs in Celiac, then all the B vitamins will be poorly absorbed.  Taking a B Complex in addition to extra thiamine (Benfotiamine) is safe.  The B vitamins and Vitamin C are water soluble.  Any excess is urinated out.  I took a B 50 Complex twice a day to increase absorption.   Try taking Magnesium Threonate (Neuro-Mag by Life Extension).  Magnesium Threonate can get into the brain easily.  The brain needs magnesium, too, but other forms don't cross the blood-brain barrier as well.   The first time I took Magnesium Threonate, it felt like my brain relaxed.  I highly recommend it.   How's your Vitamin D level?

I’m a PhD in biology so I like reading these sorts of things). It’s been surprising to see how little is understood about the cause of fibromyalgia. My Vit D went low again on my last blood test so I know I’m back to being deficient there (it did go up for a while but back down again). Whomp whomp. So I’ll be both reading about and taking vitamins. Thanks again for your input. Really appreciate it.
